Service was attentive throughout the evening, though a little more space between check-ins would have made the meal feel more relaxed.

Still, the generous servings and thoughtful service made for a pleasant evening, with a few adjustments that could make it even better.

Again, as she asked if it was ok, she started walking away. I told her it was adequate. A good waitress would have asked if I'd rather have something else.

I saw a mix in terms of dress code, but many people were dressed in a more elevated way (saw some sports jackets and button downs). We checked in and were promptly led to our table on the second floor. Our server (I believe her name was Amanda) was so nice, and she listed an impressive array of specials. We ended up getting: - It Won't Hurt a Bit (non alcoholic cocktail) - 5/5 would get this again, very refreshing and I love ginger beer based drinks - Baby Greens - 5/5 also delicious and a nice appetizer to begin with - Seafood Tagliatelle - 3/5 my baby scallops were overcooked and the calamari wasn't that good, but I did love the sauce and the handmade pasta - Tiramisu - 4/5 interesting take on a traditional tiramisu by including hazelnut and Nutella! All in all, this was a great spot for dinner. I can see why it's so popular!

Upon entry, it was as though you walked in to a quaint Italian restaurant on a summer evening. We were immediately greeted and seated for a table of three. The place was quiet and feels private at your table. We were greeted with requests to see if we would like to place an order for drinks. There were a good selection of wines though we do not drink. Water, bread & an adorable mini charcuterie was placed on our table as we look over the menu. There were many options but haven't had good pasta in awhile I decided to order the seafood pasta while my siblings ordered linguini with clams & beef carpaccio (third person was not very hungry). While we sit and enjoy the free table tasting, we enjoyed the ambiance and conversation. Food was freshly prepared and quickly came to the table. All meals were asked if we would like fresh black pepper and grated cheese. Oh my! The pasta were perfect all dente with the sauce full of flavor and creamy that you just want the second bite, the third until you finish the full plate. I so wanted to try other dishes since I was utterly delighted. The table all had the sentiments. We all agree we must come back. The owner stopped by the table to greet us and gave us a little of his story as I was curious how he came to Catskills and open this wonderful place! All to summarize, the service was wonderful! Food delicious, great place to have for celebration and intimate for a date. I highly recommend this place! Definitely coming back!

Someone came by to take our drink order and three of us got a drink. They then took the menus out of our way as we were ready to order, and they said someone would be by shortly. We finished our drinks without ordering and tried to flag down a few people. It was a very full restaurant so we were trying to be understanding. We did put in our order and it was another hour before we got our entrees but no one came back around for another drink order or else we all would have gotten something. The food was absolutely delicious, phenomenal. I would like to go back again to try out the service and see if it was just a fluke or if they are usually that relaxed. It took over 2 hours for us to have one entree and one drink which was a little too much for us. We loved each other's company, and the food was terrific, but it was such a long wait. Also there's only one bathroom for the restaurant. Just one single stall restroom so it was a little tricky waiting for the right timing.

The chicken parmesan was excellent, but the lasagna was Out of this World amazing, the best I've ever had. Pasta was so silky tasting, light & airy. Perfect. The portion size was also ginormous, but I managed to finish it all ! Loved it. Marinara sauce was also spot on. The bread that came to the table before our meals was superb, and my wife had a sangria with her meal which she enjoyed very much. Came back a few nights later, but this time we had to do a takeout order (our dog had been injured at the farm the day before and we did not want to leave her at the airbnb by herself). So I picked up two entrees -- a shrimp fettuccine alfredo and a salmon dinner. The salmon was first-rate, but the shrimp fettuccine alfredo was clearly the winner tonight, it was fantastic. We appreciate that they did not go overboard with the alfredo sauce (like so many restaurants do), the chef clearly knows how to prepare Italian dishes. We also had a slice of cheesecake and a tiramisu for dessert -- both were stellar, we loved them ! Lombardi's Restaurant in Gardiner, NY is Top Notch in my book. The staff are very friendly & attentive, especially David, he was extremely personable and funny. We live over two hours away in Connecticut, but we plan to come back to Lombardi's in the near future, that's how much we enjoyed our dining experiences there.

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!
