Great food with an old school Catskills vibe (if you were there in its hey day, you'll know what I mean)! Baked clams and chicken parm were great! read more

Albella Restaurant - Great chicken parm, huge portion! - Pizza Near Me - Monticello, New York

You cannot come to Monticello and not go to Albella's! Big portions for not so big prices. I thought the baked ziti was fire but I tried the chicken parmigiana and am having a hard time deciding what is the better of the two. Delicious and reasonable. The staff attentive and friendly. What a great experience. read more

Needed dinner and we're visiting the nearby water park. It was the only restaurant open at 8pm. Wifey ordered the shrimp scampi, Nona ordered the chicken parm. lil man got spaghetti and meatball and his friend got linguini and butter. I got the shrimp and corn chowder. Everything was amazing. Wifey absolutely loved the shrimp scampi and the chowder was delish. Nona said the chicken parm tasted great as well. Service was super. Even though we came in at 8, the place closes at 9. Sat us right away and took our orders. Super attentive and gave us extra bread as well. Oh did I mention the dishes were like family style. Could have had 3 people eating from the scampi and parm each. Place was clean and brightly lit. Plenty of seating as well. If we are in the area, will definitely be back. Great food, great prices and great staff. read more

Great restaurants here in the Hudson Valley are few and far between but Albellas in an exception . Excellent food, service. Staff is wonderful and attentive read more

I'm new to monticello. This is the third pizza place I've tried in the area. It is by far the best pizza I've had outside of Long Island and in a long time and I will definitely be returning. Albella instantly just became my go-to pizza place - which is really saying something because I'm a bit of a pizza snob. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was extremely clean. Looks like it might be a great restaurant too! read more

Albella Restaurant - Chicken Parm slice and Chicken Marsala slice (what's left anyway) - Pizza Near Me - Monticello, New York

Came upon this restaurant on yelp searching for an Italian place to eat near the hotel casino (resorts world Catskills) we were staying at. Sooo happy we decided to come eat here. The ambience is cozy, service super friendly and inviting, prices fantastic! The food portion is ginormous, and flavor on point! We had the burrata special for appetizer, chicken parmigiana with garlic and oil pasta, and chicken parmigiana and pasta in a vodka sauce. All amazing! Unfortunately we were too full for dessert but we will visit again and start with dessert the next time ! read more

So many options and everything I have had is so good. Service is fast if you eat in person or get take out. Just love the giant menu and it's all very tasty. read more

Coming here is a staple for me now. Love to bring family or friends because the food is always great and service is very friendly! I like to try new things so I am constantly trying their specials and am always taking it to-go (huge portions). Elegant restaurant with a casual pizzeria side next door, both of which are delicious. This place really does it all. read more

I attended a funeral repast Luncheon at Albella Restaurant. All of the selections were wonderful and I, especially, was impressed by the trays of ordourves placed at each table; all servings were very generous. Our entire crowd was so complementary toward Albella's staff, as they are always so pleasant. I also have enjoyed many lunches here with my retiree teachers group. Love that bread and dipping oil!

Fantastic Restaurant. Fresh, high quality ingredients prepared excellently every visit. The staff here are friendly and accommodating every time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys great wine and high quality Italian cuisine. Thank you Abella Patricia read more

We came as a group of nine people. After a bit of a wait, our orders were taken, followed by hot bread being placed on our table, only by request and only after waiting about 45 minutes. The bread was delicious. The pace of service started to improve a bit, particularly regarding the filling of our water glasses. I purposely came NOT hungry so that I wasn't too affected by the slow pace of service at this restaurant. I knew that on the Labor Day weekend, the staff would be pushed to the limit. Eventually, our appetizers and salads arrived and were delicious. Later, our entrees arrived and were also delicious! I ordered broiled salmon, and it was cooked exactly as requested. My wife ordered an artichoke appetizer and loved it. Even her French onion soup was surprisingly good. My nieces salmon came nicely prepared. Almost all the entrees came out at the same time, which was an improvement over prior visits with large groups of people. My sister's alcoholic drink was noticeably watered down. The long waiting times and uneven pace of service remain a deficit for what would otherwise be a good restaurant. Not Recommended read more

Amazing experience! The penne a la vodka and bruschetta bread was delicious, and amazing portions as well! Super cheap and delicious. I would come back! read more

Absolutely not unacceptable paid $8.64 for a half a pint of chicken noodle soup. I got cut up penne pasta n rubber chicken breast. I'm beyond flabbergasted! read more

Don't let the average ambiance fool you. Service was great, food very good, & prices very fair. I had the veal parmigiana and thought it was excellent. Others had the chicken parm and chicken marsala and also gave them high grades. Had the bomba for desert. I am sure that they didn't make it there, but it was also very good. The penne a la vodka at the next table looked great. Will definitely go back to try it. Highly recommend Albella! AND IT'S OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK. VERY RARE FOR MONTICELLO AND THE SURROUNDING AREA! Extra credit for that!!! read more

Love Italian food so thought we would give this place a shot. We were greeted and Sat quickly. It went down hill from there. Not a single staff member was friendly or ever cracked a smile. It took a long time just to get water. Then waited longer for bread, which was good. Then a bit longer to place an order. Portions were quite large. Could get the same meal at a restaurant 15 minutes away for $10 less per meal. Well let's say the lasagna was the worst I have ever had. Look like they slapped it on a plate with the cheese congregated in the middle. Way too many noodles. Didn't tell us they charged more by using a CC. Which is fine. Would have paid cash if I knew. Will not be going back. Teach staff good customer service skills. read more

The service from the service was amazing and the food was amazing. Like really amazing if I could, I would give this place 10 stars.

Food is just ok portions are small and service is spotty. Prices are going up and up and portions and quality less and less. Good pizza though! read more

I've been to this location several times. It simply doesn't matter what I order they never disappoint. Great food and great service. read more

My parents and I took a trip to Catskill just for a safe mini vacation for her bday. My mom looked at restaurants in the area prior and she said she wanted to set here for her bday dinner. This place really is the definition of a small, very friendly and kind family business that deserves all the attention. Our table was greeted with fresh bread which was prob the best bread I've ever had from a restaurant. We ordered calamari for appetizer and it was SO fresh. FOOD ORDERED: Chicken Parm: I WANTED THIS FOR MYSELF but my mom ordered it first. I tried her parm and it was DELICIOUS. Crispy and tender and perfectly complimented the spaghetti that came with it. Spaghetti: SO I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs bc I wanted to get something different from my mom. DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Perfectly satisfied my craving. It's a bit more soupy than I expected but honestly it's still so flavorful and delicious. The portion is HUGE so expect to take it home. The leftovers are going to taste INSANE bc the noodles are gonna soak in all that flavor. Zuppi di pesce: this was HUGE. Includes mussels, clams, squid along with the noodles. My dad ordered this and I asked him "was it good" and he says "really good!". This is from a man who always says "food is food". We ordered tiramisu for dinner which was divine. So moist and flavorful. Definitely recommend this place. The staff was so incredibly nice, such a homie feel, and the food was amazing! read more

This was our third time eating at Albella, and each time has been the same. The food is excellent, though obscenely overpriced, the wait staff is friendly and the amount of time we had to wait for our food was inexcusable. After waiting longer initially than seemed reasonable for our waitress, who was clearly doing the best she could given the number of people she had to deal with, we waited an hour just for our appetizers. We then waited another 30-40 minutes for our main courses, which came out one plate at a time instead of all at once. Although we love the food and the wait staff, my vote will never be to eat there again. It's just too frustrating to feel like we should eat something at home before going out to eat. read more

Absolutely delicious! Everything you would want was on the menu. New favorite. Left feeling full and happy.

We decided to go to this place when we were looking for Italian restaurants in the area because we were staying at a ski/water park resort close by. The restaurant has a old school Italian feel. The food was delicious and huge portions. A basket of warm bread is served with a salad as starters. I got the cheese ravioli which was gooey and amazing. The service was impeccable and the food came out very quickly. The owner even came out to ask our huge group (15 people) how things were and if we needed anything. This place is definitely worth trying when in kartright. read more

We have eaten here very often and for many years. It never disappoints. The food is consistently excellent. It is our go-to place for dinner. We eat out a lot and patronize many restaurants. However, more often than not, after having gone to dinner elsewhere, we find ourselves saying "we should have gone to Albella's". read more

Came here tonight for a family dinner and we had an amazing service. Jewels was very attentive and helpful by adding a last minute side of meatballs request to my order. Food was great will definately come again. read more

went there with friends, and was overcharged, and just for a tiny side of ranch i paid a 1$. Food is greasy, service is not so great. And all the staffs were staring us down when we were eating, kinda awkward. read more

Wow. I've been visiting the Catskills for 25 years and this was never on my radar. The bread! The best ever. I could just come and have bread and wine. Comfy, family place with good food, big portions and good prices. Loved my spaghetti and clams. Took home enough for another dinner. Other yummies: lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs. read more

Albella Restaurant - Spaghetti in clams - Pizza Near Me - Monticello, New York

It was pretty! My friends and family went there on vacation and service was decent. It took a little while for the drinks to come but the employees were nice. Now about the food. My friend and I ordered Linguini. It was supposed to have butter on it but my friend had hardly any butter while my plate was drowning in butter. The pasta/noodles part was okay but the butter was tasteless. Overall, I'd say that this wasn't the best experience but I might try again and get another dish. read more

This is my FAVORITE restaurant when I go upstate for work and it's definitely one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to (even better than those manhattan overpriced establishments).

Great food and service. Nice family business Our dinner was delicious and we went back a dozen times in last two months to keep trying things on the menu. Everything was so good that we need repeat before we can decide. read more

This is probably the worst restaurant ever. I came for an event, the appetizers are the cheapest I have ever tasted. The good one only made one appearance, shrimp and gone. I have never really got it here. The pizza is bad and it's a pizza place so why would you think the dinners would be any good. The owners are very nice people! It's just that this is a restaurant. I'm not hanging at a bar with good friends. The bar is equally poor and the pour is light on alcohol not price. If you want to charge city prices pour a nice cocktail and I will stay. The atmosphere here is weird too. I just don't get the "let's stay here and drink cause it friendly" feeling. One of the local clubs meets here every week??? I'm one and done, Just not for me. read more

Dine in When arriving at this restaurant one sees an unassuming and modest establishment. But once inside you observe a charming and elegant place for dinner. I had the Linguini with white clam sauce. It was the best version of this item that I have ever had in my life. A dozen whole clams blended with chopped clams and super fine sliced garlic in a delicious creamy sauce. Now add homemade Italian bread, a fine complimentary salad and an attentive and efficient waitstaff. Top all of this with very reasonable prices and you have simply.....the best. Five stars isn't enough praise. read more

Stopped in on my way up 17K when the hunger pains started... luckily there was a blue food sign ahead that had 'Pizza' on it. Being the pizza lover I am it pulled me in!!! Had 2 slices that were a VERY good size and a bottle of soda all for under $9.00. Not a bad price and a VERY large slice of pizza!!! Sauce to cheese ratio lent itself to more cheese than sauce and a very nice crust. Would definitely eat here if I were a local. read more
