Amazing Italian restaurant in Cold Spring...truly authentic and delicious food, and I know, because my friends and I decided to eat family style, so we each tasted everything we ordered: Insalata Romana Insalata di Giorgio Penne con Gamberetti e Verdure - DELICIOUS Risotto of the Day - Porcini - TO DIE FOR Orecchiette con Gorgonzola e Noci Tagliata di Manzo And for dessert, it was my friend's birthday, so we got the Chocolate Lava cake! Service was so perfect...they even helped split a number of plates for us. I wish I lived in Cold Spring...I would be there every week! read more

The cute garden cannot make up for their terrible hospitality. Go take a picture if you want but do not dine in.

Creative menu and delicious food, combined with an expansive menu, make this place a must try.

The fisilli with mushroom I ordered was good. Mushroom sautéed with great aroma. The service is very slow, we waited for 20min before being waited. read more

Great staff! Consistent quality of food and drink. Ambiance is unique and relaxing. Sometimes we go just for drinks and other times for meals but always receive great treatment and food. read more

After being greated by a very rude and racist owner, who also is the hostess, and waiting for 25 min we were finally seated. We thiught yay the worst is over. We and several other guests were yelled at while waiting in line by this person but we have a table! Our table had no napkin or silverware. It took another 15 min until our waiter came. She apologized and brought water. The table next to us had been seated prior to us but it took them another 15 min to get their initial water. We ordered oysters to start with, the waiter that brought those slammed it on the table and half the ice flew off the dish. No apologize, she just walked away. Finally after 5 mi she walked by and I asked for silverware. She brings those and throws infront of us. After another long wait our main dishes were brought in. Nothing to brag over. Very bland. Once it was time to pay our waiter had added the order of the table next to ours onto our bill. We pointed it out. She went to correct it. After a 10 min wait she brings it back. One of our credit cards missing and instead of splitting in half the entire bill was charged to one card. We could not see our waiter so I notify the owner my card is missing and if she could give it back? My card had been missing for a good 15 min and of course I wanted to know who had it. Her reply we make misstakes! I tell her can I have my card back. As it is not ok for it yo be gone 20 min and she is not even looking for it. She starts screaming in the middle of the restaurant at me amd tells me to shut up! I tell her not to speak to me like that. Other guests chime in. In my entire life I have never seen a person much less someone in service behave this rudely and tell a customer asking a question to shut up! They lost my card and charged another tables bill to it! As we are leaving the restaurant the owner screams and calls me a cunt! This place is horrible, no manners, the owner knows nothing about bring professional. Horrible experience!! Do not recommend to anyone! NY come to cold spring for a relaxing day in a cute spot. There only a few restaurants so they end up choosing this one. Next time even if I am starving I rather eat pebbles of the ground than to go to this place!! read more

I wanted to like this place but everything out of the six items that we ordered was inedible. It began by one particularly rude waitress repeatedly telling us that she is not our server when we even looked at her. Our waiter was the one highlight from the whole experience, but the food was horrible. Very simple recipes looked and tasted like they came out of a campbells can... very disappointing. read more

This is my go-to place when I'm in the vicinity, without hesitation. Over the years, I've never had a meal there that was anything short of spectacular. Cathryn's is easily one of my favorite restaurants in New York State, including all of Manhattan! read more

Cathryns is a very popular spot in cold spring so make sure you reserve beforehand! When I went at 3pm on a Saturday, there weren't gonna be any outdoor tables until 6pm lol so we ate indoors. Food was great tho--though I wish the parpadelle was a lil softer and more filling... I was still hungry after finishing my pasta lol. Items are defo on the pricier side read more

Came to cold spring for hiking. We ended up eating at this place. The food was ok but the service was awful. My bf asked for hot sauce which they never brought, and they didn't even check how's the food. read more

It was a horrible experience ever!! Me and 3 of my friends waited for over an hour of for only Burgers and Salad. We like so tired for a hike and chooses a food that don't take so that long. We understand that the place may be busy that's why we waited calmly. But when we started to ask questions politely Janice our server didn't even try to explain rather ignore us and let a bus lady to handle the situation. She said it's getting plated but 15mins passed by we are still waiting. It was a horrible experience. When we got the foo. The bread of our burgers are so cold. She even had one order wrong. Since we all want cheese burger the other burger came out just regular. Not to mention my friends salad's chicken came out cold too. We are offered to eat it for free. But we decided to walk out. She made us feel like we are not welcome there. Even in the first place she made us feel like she doesn't want to take our orders. Not making a conversation just passing us by like that. The ambiance she made makes us just need to leave the premises read more

We had a nice lunch sitting outside on their patio with our dog nearby. Standard Italian food, but nicely done. We shared an endive salad to start and for main courses had various pastas, salmon, and Italian omelet. All very good, better than I would have expected given the high tourist density of this town. Service was pretty good--they misplaced my friend's main course order and it arrived after everyone else was done but they were attentive and apologized, and comped it. read more

We came here for dinner and although we did not have a reservation we were seated right away. We chose to sit indoors because even though the outdoor area was a charming garden it was just too warm for us. They have some comfortable couches that you can sit while you wait for your table. The bread we were served was really nice and crusty perfect for dipping in the olive oil. I ordered the penne with shrimp, my sister got the butternut squash ravioli and my nephew got a chicken dish. Our server was attentive and made some good recommendations. My pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavor was good, just a bit too oily for my taste. The ravioli was good but the portion was tiny! Overall, I liked the service and the food was good but I do agree with other reviewers who find this place to be overpriced for what you actually get. read more

An amazing Italian restaurant in Cold Spring. I've dined here several times, and the food is always fantastic The polenta appetizer with sausage that I enjoyed on my last visit was divine. The basil pasta is light and prepared perfectly. My BF's spinach ravioli in brown butter sauce was delicious as well. The atmosphere here is charming, and on my last visit our server Rafael was professional and friendly. I look forward to returning here on my next visit to Cold Spring. read more

The owner was exceptionally rude to my friend and I. We walked in through the front door and in a matter of seconds, she barked in a condescending tone to "go through the side door, what are you blind?" Disgusting hospitality, will never return. read more

Garden is really nice, so only come here if it's nice out and you can sit outside. Portions are tiny so if you're really hungry, maybe go elsewhere. Food is decent. The pasta is the way to go here, it's not bad. Pizzas are nice and crispy thin crust but a bit small. My salad was quite good actually. However it was tiny!!! For $12 or $14, I expect a portion larger than just a tiny side salad! Should have been about double the size. I read from other reviewers that the caprese was bad, so we tried the Zuchini appetizer. IT WAS SO TINY. It was good, but consisted of about 3 bites (see pics!). HUGE RIP OFF. Over all, portions (except pasta) were tiny. Service was really good, however. The servers were attentive and constantly refilled my water glass and came over to check on us. Also they were accommodating about letting us order a custom dish (vegetarian friendly). read more

Placed an order for pickup while in Cold Spring for a hike. Ordered a salad with mushrooms and prosciutto. I kid you not it was TWO pieces of prosciutto and a can of mushrooms along with a water bottle for $30. If the salad was good, no worries. Unreal. Then you'd assume there would be cutlery since I asked, nope. Really ridiculous location. read more

Looking for a place to eat dinner on a quick stopover in Cold Spring. What a great surprise. The location is lovely, the decor is bold and beautiful. The food was excellent! I had the Beggar's Purse pasta and could not believe that I almost licked the plate! So tasty. The service was excellent. I will return and order that dish again. read more

As soon as my friend and I walked into the front door, an older lady told us we were entering the wrong way. Quote she said "No, No. You're not supposed to come in this way. You gotta go around" in a disgusting, unwelcoming way. Wasn't sure if she was the owner or customer, but I would never consider this place. Hospitality was horrible. We didn't even get 5 steps in and I felt attacked. read more

Wife & I drove up to Cold Spring from the City for a 3-night mini- vacation, our first such since the pandemic began in March, and chanced Cathryn's for our first inside restaurant meal, despite the flurry of negative reviews we found on Yelp-- so glad we did. Service, dinner & wine were all wonderful, as we shared salads, two appetizers & a main course, plus a couple of lively bits of conversation with the lovely and highly attentive owner. Our only regret, upon saying "good night " was noticing that it's closed on Tuesdays! read more

Total overpriced garbage. Over 2 hours wasted between waiting to get seated and actually getting the check paid. Everything took ten years to do and the food sucked, portions were small and not worth the price they charge. And unless you ask, the bathroom appears to be nothing more than a closet door from the outside. Why would anyone think this is a good idea? The staff looks miserable and so did the other patrons. P.S. 16 bucks for spaghetti drowning in a half a bottle of black pepper and shredded cheese is bullshit. read more

Food is fresh and great! Staff could be a bit more attentive and friendly, but everything showed up on time. I'll be back

Had lunch here today while in Cold Spring on business. It was a light lunch and all positive. Service was fast and pleasant, food was good. That's good enough for me read more

From the appetizers to the desserts everything was EXQUISITE. Service was impeccable and I had the best espresso this side of the Atlantic. Sweet relaxing ambiance. Perfect! read more

After a nice experience last time we decided to have my wife's birthday dinner here. Just like our visit in June, the food was very good. We again ordered the Prosciutto-wrapped Asparagus, with Parmesan Cheese (excellent) and the Sauteed Calamari with Arugula and Smoked Cherry Tomatoes (very good). In addition we got the Selection of Cured Italian Meats (very good) and one of the appetizer specials. I don't recall the name of it, but it was essentially a mozzarella cheese with tomato and roasted red peppers (very good). My wife once again ordered the Rigatoni with Mushrooms, Peas, and Pancetta, in Brandied Cream Sauce and again it was amazing. I ordered the Rib Eye Steak and while I normally do not order steaks unless at a steakhouse, I was very, very impressed with the steak - it was excellent. On a disappointing note, the service this time around was definitely not as good as last time. While our waiter was efficient, he definitely was a bit on the "snooty" side - almost seeming as if he didn't even want to be there. This seems to be an ongoing issue with this place based on other reviews - perhaps it is just the same individual? Regardless we'll probably be back because we love the food, the location is convenient for us and the decor/atmosphere is nice. The prices are a bit high as previously mentioned, but not outrageously so. The atmosphere/decor is nice. read more

In short, the hostess told me: "you are not eating here" and yelled me out:) I'm glad I didn't spend money or time at this place. The whole staff is extremely racist and rude. Please do yourself a favor and go eat at the French place across the street. read more

Food was good . Atmosphere was very nice . Service was pretty poor. The server was just not attentive . Never came back after serving us. Never asked if we needed anything. Desert . More drinks ? After finally asking another waitress for our bill she came back and said our waitress would bring it . A third waiter finally brought it. It took longer to get our bill then it did to get our food . And it was not crowded. read more

I have been going to Cathryn's for years now always loved it and always get the same pasta dish...well unfortunately I will not be going back..last night my husband and another couple got there at 7pm and we didn't leave till after 9.. it was soooo slow and that dish I mentioned well I had to send it back 2 times till I actually got what I asked for.. our waiter for a lack of a nicer kinder explanation was just plain stupid.. Cathryn has a serious staff problem.. she opened another place and maybe that was not such a good idea..can't keep track of everything unless you have a good manager... Will miss it but I was truly aggravated last night. read more

I'm going to give this place 3 stars because it's okay. Just okay. Our server was great and he was on point with everything, so kudos to him. I guess my only problem was the salad we ordered was literally a handful of leaves dressed in balsamic vinegar. Not even in Italy will they do that. The pasta was good but it was just slightly under "al dente" so it had just a bit of a bite. Mimosa was good. I was dying to try this place but I was a bit disappointed. I would def go back whenever I'm in the area but it would not be my first or second choice. read more

This was a horrible experience from the moment we walked in. The lack of service was unreal! Do not waste your time or your money.

Tasty, almost home-made cooking. Perfect after a long hike to Breakneck Ridge or Mount Taurus. There's nothing to complain about and you won't be surprised by the prices either. read more

This place is a literal dump. The food is mediocre and the service is complete crap. DO NOT EAT HERE!

My husband and I enjoyed everything about this place. The decor is absolutely warm and beautiful with modern touches and eclectic art. The owner was so awesome and one of the nicest people we met. Everything was top notch from service to food. The dishes were extraordinary and different from any other place which really brings out the character of the restaurant. Amazing!

So here's my experience at Cathryn's... New to the area and was recommended by a local. He said the the drinks are great and the food is hit or miss. He was right. The tatted bartendress was awesome and made a spectacular martini. My appetizer of lamb meatballs was very good, but very tiny, for the price. (You may Manhattan adjacent, but you're not IN the city!) Then I ordered the swordfish fish special, also pricey, which I don't mind, when it's worth it. I ate from the narrow part of the fish to the thicker part. By the time I was 2/3 done, the fish was raw. Not medium rare, not rare, but RAW. I debated, as I never want to be THAT customer. But, knowing that swordfish is the ONE fish that needs to be cooked, I said something. The very apologetic bartender also realized this was not good and put it aside for the server/manager(?) to see. I asked for my check. The aforementioned server/manager must have told her to take 10% off my bill. Again, I debated, but decided I just couldn't let it go, and asked to see him. He reluctantly asked me if there was a problem (from the other end of the bar). I asked to come down to my end and I expressed my displeasure in the, not rare, not medium rare, but RAW fish. He tried to justify it saying people order it medium rare. Aside from the fact that mine was raw, they should say NO when people do. Swordfish is one fish that needs to be fully cooked. In any case, in the end, he took it off my bill and apologized, but it was way too much work getting there. And that was never even really my goal. I just wanted him to admit that swordfish should not be served raw! read more

We had dinner here this past Friday night (11/11) it was still restaurant week, but we did not take advantage of the 3-course dinner, instead we ordered off the menu. We were greeted quickly by our waiter and he explained the specials and quickly got our cocktails. I started with the Scallops with Fava beans and pancetta, it was excellent. My wife had the Burrata which she raved about. We had also ordered a bottle of wine which arrived promptly. For dinner, I had the Stuffed Guinea Hen it was fantastic but I guess anytime you stuff something with Foie Gras how can you go wrong? My wife had the Orecchiette which was also very good! Then we decided to have the cheese plate and finish our wine. Once again I wish Yelp would allow half stars because as much as I would want to I can't give Cathryn's five stars, and here is why. The young woman who was running the food and clearing tables came over to clear our appetizer plates and she instructed us to keep out knives.... really? You're a fine dining establishment and you need me to reuse my dirty knife? Is the dishwasher too busy he can't wash more flatware? Or are you too lazy to get us clean knives? All things considered I would certainly recommend Cathryn's and would certainly go back! read more

If I wanted to eat moldy bread for lunch I could stay at home. Genuinely one of the worst meals I've ever had. From the server who reprimanded another customer for interrupting him durring his specials 'monologue' to the bland and uninspired plate of hot vegetables on a slab of smoked cheese this place went from bad to worse. I gave it one star because it was open, and in an emergency situation I'm sure they would have enough food to keep you alive for a few days. Whats debatable is whether or not you would want to remain so. Oh, did I mention it's NYC prices? Yeah. You could drop $100 on lunch easily with wine. read more

Atrocious, negligent service, overdone steaks and fish, and attitude from the owner when we mentioned any of it. It took 90 min to deliver 2 basic ravioli dishes for the kids. The salmon came out with a burnt crust like it had been under a broiler for an hour, instead of medium-rare. A ribeye at the table came out well-done when ordered rare. The hanger steak was the only dish that was on target. The worst was the owner's attitude: she blamed us for ordering chicken that takes 25 min to prepare... except this was 90 min after we ordered. She dismissed our complaints, saying it was impossible because she runs the place. Well she doesn't run it very well, or average, or even poorly. She runs it horrendously. We will never be back. read more

First impression walking in was very pleasant. The outside garden area was cute and I enjoyed sitting in the garden. The scenery was a novelty. Service was a little on the slow side, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it might have been in between shifts. The bread they served was quite delish... however a little skimpy on the amount of bread. I ordered a special they had, Spinach Ravioli. The first things that came to mind when it arrived: 1) portion was awfully small 2) butter!!! I had to wash out the taste of butter from my dish with another friend's tomato based pasta dish (that was just as un-special and bland). read more
