We stopped here for a quick lunch on our visit to Woodstock. It's a cute town and has lots of cute shops and restaurants. I got a BLT which came with a side of fries. It was your typical BLT. Perfect lunch! My sidekick got a tuna salad on a croissant. The thing was huge. Hers came with curly fries. We both got a fancy drink with cinnamon and whipped cream. I think it was whiskey coffee. I can't remember but it was yummy. Topped with an Italian wafer cookie. Nice staff, quick service.

Penne alla vodka, broiled salmon, garlic bread
Lydia C.

I was THOROUGHLY impressed with this (vaguely Mexican by day and Italian by night) ristorante. We were seated upstairs, in a cozy, intimate setting with white tablecloths and dim lighting. When I saw the elegance of the setting and the formal menu, I assumed that it'd be a pricey meal, but I was more than happy to find out otherwise! We ordered the penne alla vodka, broiled salmon (which came with a heaping portion of fried rice and mashed potatoes), and the side of garlic bread. Based on the price of the garlic bread ($3.99), I thought it'd be just a piece or two on top of the pasta - but I was astonished to find out that it's the real deal, with slice after slice! The salmon was good and not too dry. The fried rice surprised me as an Asian dish in an Italian entrée, but the potatoes were creamy and yummy. But nothing in this meal could top the penne alla vodka - absolutely delicious. Full five stars! Servers were not overly attentive but professional, and the clean bathroom was a welcome sight!

We were visiting Woodstock with a large party, and an online search yielded Allison's as one of a few well-rated spots that would not only be open to large groups, but also welcoming to a pet who was traveling with us. The restaurant is homey and cottage-like, both inside and out. The menu has a diner-like variety and everyone from our youngest to our oldest eaters found something they wanted. Everything across the board was decent and well-seasoned. Feeling particularly peckish, I ordered their cheeseburger hero, which turned out like a classic chopped cheese sandwich. I really appreciated the warmth and flexibility of the service here. The members of our party were arriving at all different times, but our waitress was quick to drop by our table and collect orders from the newest arrivals. We have a few picky eaters in our group, but the kitchen was open and welcoming to their modifications. Other servers kept our water glasses filled, and sizable lollipops were doled out to all the kiddos in our groups at the end of our meal (to their great delight).

Cheese ravioli parmigiana

Delicious dinner on a Tuesday night, with no wait at 7pm. My dinner was a branzino dish with roasted potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, garlic, and a sauce they made to be gluten free and dairy free - lemon sauce with EVOO instead of butter. Seriously so good! Husband had a Rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries (extra $), and felt it was good but nothing spectacular. Hard to make this be a standout sandwich I suppose. One kid had a cheese ravioli parmigiana entree and it was so much cheese. The other kid had chipotle chicken BLT sandwich and really liked how spicy it was. Service was great, waitress was knowledgable and the staff was attentive with water refills. The inside is super cute with plants hanging throughout the ceiling. We took our daughter's service dog that she's raising and the waitress brought over a bowl of water for the dog.

Snack Platter

Such a cute restaurant in Woodstock! I ordered the chicken marsala and my boyfriend ordered the chicken Francese, and both were absolutely delicious! I came with my boyfriend's family, which included a one-year-old baby and a small dog, as a group of 8. The restaurant allowed us to bring in the dog and had a seat for the baby, so they were very accommodating. The mixed food platter wasn't my favorite, but the mango pineapple smoothie was delicious! I also ordered the soup with my pasta and the chicken and rice soup was delicious as well. Despite having a big group, they were pretty good with keeping up with us and our big order during a busy time of day. I genuinely had a great experience here and would be so happy to come back. To be honest, my boyfriend's dish was even better than my chicken marsala, and the chicken marsala is so good!

From Take Out/Pick Up Area To Dining Area

The long-running and previous Joshua's will always be remembered as a Woodstock staple. But with their closure, Allison's Restaurant made their entrance. There are no shoes to be filled as Joshua's was global and Mediterranean with the Shashoukas, Israeli salads, shammatov, etc. Those were the days. The newest kid on the block, Allison's, also runs the gamut between a mix of wraps to quesadillas to fajitas, some Italian fare to souvlaki to Mexican street corn to a cordon Bleu- heck, there are even plantains offered here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Since hubs and I are spending almost every weekend in Woodstock, I have a better gage at comparing menus and who's offering what. The owner Isabel, is super pleasant and welcoming. The space is very minimalist and the dining room feels toasty good. She and her family are bringing a different spin to their restaurant- but they're also keeping in line and offering a Smoke Salmon sandwich for instance- which a lot of people enjoy (I do too) and other breakfast staples. Ventilation system is great and I didn't carry those food smells on me. These folks open at 9ish(?) and close at 9:30 I think and offer more than the 3 square meals. Again, the menu is all over the place, but options are almost endless. Despite the 'bland' or 'mediocre food' a few folks are complaining about, it was a simple breakfast pickup for me. The high-end prices in town are something hubs and I are familiar with- but it's also nice having a new eatery offering a menu that won't break your wallet.

Chicken Fran chaise, incredible
Richard H.

From the moment we walked in to the second we left was magical. The food was amazing the cozy atmosphere on a nice fall evening was incredible. The staff here couldn't have been nicer, very welcoming clean and organized restaurant. I can't say enough good about Allison's restaurant. We will absolutely be back

One word... Wow. This place felt like HOME! We took a trip to the Catskills for a night, we come from about two hours away so I searched the internet long and hard for some good food!! I'm so glad I came across Allison's, everything was amazing!!! We were sat right away, menus drinks, etc all right away! Our waitress and waiter were absolutely attentive and such friendly welcoming people! Our drinks and food were exceptional. Chicken piccata and scallops, cooked perfectly! Flavors were authentic and delicious, it's hard to find a good Caesar salad and chicken and rice soup, as well as butternut squash soup, fresh guacamole... They had it all!!! Thank you Allison's for an awesome dinner and experience!!! Next time we're here we will definitely come back and visit! The real flowers on the table- so cute

Garlic bread
Chrissy R.

Food was hearty and good but we waited FOREVER - an hour for pick up that supposedly would take 2 minutes. Was hard w a toddler but they were really nice. Got the salmon, a garlic chicken pasta w oil and garlic bread. Probably easier to dine in.

Spring white sangria. Yum.

Good food in an unexpected spot/location. Attentive staff, and gorgeous decor and design setting up…read morefor an amazing atmosphere for a dinner party. Food was good, not great, but there was definitely a clear love of cooking and care put into the dishes. Great cocktails that were fun to try and explore their various concoctions. Would return and focus on cocktails and appetizers, and order my partner's dish instead of mine (sausage rigatoni), dessert was also amazing - tried a couple bites of everyone at my tables and very impressed!

Cucina was a letdown since the strong Yelp reviews had increased my interest in trying it. I did…read moreappreciate how it was open later on a Sunday night when many restaurants in Woodstock were closed. Parking was a cinch in the private lot. And the renovated old farmhouse was just lovely and offered porch dining though we sat inside. The gentleman who greeted us was outgoing and started the meal off positively. Despite not having a reservation, we were able to be seated promptly. The complimentary bread and olive oil were solid. The meatball appetizer ($19) was decent but tiny, and the pasta special ($29) was not too impressive and was too oily. I didn't even bother to glance at the dessert menu. Service was not in line with an upscale restaurant. The server never came over to take our orders, and she finally did only after we brought this up to the host who was quite apologetic. Then she was attentive for a little but then returned to her inattentiveness. Finally, the bathroom could've used some tidying up as well. Sorry Cucina, I really wanted to like you.

Hubs and I have been coming up to these neck of the woods since '01 during my long weeknds/school…read morebreaks- but don't remember what was here before Annarella Ristorante opened in '13. Fast-forward to our Oct '26 visit and we finally made it through these doors! Better late than never. Before you even make it through the entrance, the air outside is already smelling like garlic. RESERVE. RESERVE. RESERVE. You can(?) roll up without a res. But don't bet on it because the place has a serious buzz. As you walk in, there's a small dining area to your right facing an L shaped bar, while the main and larger dining room opens up to the left. Tables are dressed in white tablecloths and the whole place has this soft, warm glow making everything feel cozy. I mean...Annarella has this intimate, old-school Italian dining vibe going on. Our escargot starter was everything we wanted. They were drenched in buttery, garlicky, parsley goodness. The combo was excellent! And the thing is- this isn't even a French restaurant! Our main dishes came with a small mixed green salad with olive oil and lemon. Nothing fancy- just good! My shrimp dish with cannellini beans and spinach was a beauty. The shrimp are plump and the beans are creamy- all swimming in this luscious, red cream sauce. Hubs on the other hand, didn't feel the same way about his dish. He ordered like the 1/2 chicken with a small bone-in leg portion, except that breast looked like it had been hammered(?) so much, it was thin! And for $32, it was on the small side and bland. One other reviewer mentioned the blandness too. No real excitement, no standout seasoning, nothing that made hubs go, 'Ohhhh, now this is good chicken'! Hubs ate it, made do and kept it moving. Cocktail time was another mixed bag. My French 77 packed a punch but hubs', was weak. My dessert was a winner. I went straight for the chocolate mousse, and honeyyyy- it was rich, chocolatey, silky and absolutely worth the calories. This mousse meant business! Hubs' sliced raspberry sorbet was actually good but the dark chocolate shell had a freezer taste and left every last bit of that shell behind. Anyhow. I have to give a shout out to our server Jodi, who was an absolute pleasure!
