After over 20 years in the community operating Bellizzi, owner Isi Albanese explains that Exit 4 Food Hall joins the roster of other new restaurants recently opened in Mount Kisco helping to confirm the community’s image as a trendy dining destination spot. “Our main vision at Exit 4 is to provide our guests with a casual, fun and communal experience while giving emerging culinary talent an outlet to create and experiment with new food trends,” said Albanese. “Throughout the past few years we have seen many transformations in Mount Kisco that have had an impact on our business and the timing was just right to try something new. We are excited to be the first to bring this culinary concept to Westchester County.”

The eclectic interior, designed by Albanese himself, is made up of one-of-a-kind elements created by local artisans and craftsmen who built the communal tables and benches from recycled wood salvaged from past storm damage. Exit 4 offers table seating that can accommodate up to 80 guests with comfortable seating in the back lounge area and at the bar. An outdoor seating area will be available in the spring as well as catering and delivery services.

Executive Chef and consultant Rahsaan White leads the Exit 4 culinary team and previously served as a personal chef for heavy-weight boxer Michael Grant. Rahsaan also worked with celebrity chefs Herb Wilson, John Tesar and David Burke. Additionally he was also product tester and chef for Dairyland/Chefs Warehouse which involved approving product for New York State. He recently did a competition at the James Beard Foundation which raised money for local charity foundations and he is currently working on opening his own restaurant Mars Hill NY in Westchester County.

According to Albanese the grand opening will also feature renowned Chef Anthony Scotto, of the original Mario Batali series “How-To Tuesdays” as a visiting chef at Exit 4. The prominent chef, who most recently served as the executive chef for Ricci Ristorante in Milan Italy, Del Posto in New York City and Campagna at the Bedford Post Inn, will be bringing his culinary expertise to the team and guiding the staff on creating different homemade pasta dishes.
