First time visiting and we'll be back again. Four meals, four rave reviews. From the appetizers…read more(crab-cake and garlic parmesan wings) to the large entrees, everything was so good. I'll definitely come back for the chicken Parmesan and my husband loved the calamari dish. The lava cake was yummy but there wasn't any lava-just a hard, unmelted center. That was the only flaw of the whole experience. Waiter was very attentive and good.

Ima keep ranting about this part of New York. This area really don't got a lot of good flavor. And…read morewhat I mean by that, like the cooking just ain't cooking for most of these spots. And idk what it is, it could be just the local folks don't got that much flavor in their taste buds and they the anti-City folk type so most of the businesses just lack in that field. With that said... this was a pretty decent Italian spot I will say WITH that consideration in mind. I did have the ravioli with slow cooked carne inside and that was delicious. My wife got the lasagna and... it was iiiitte. Family next to us were raving about it and like they were nice and we were being polite. But like let's be real here - it tasted like Stouffer's. Not that it's a knock, but at that point, you paying for the atmosphere. Which I will say the indoors is nice. You can have a nice date night or family outing here. There's a bar and plenty of parking. The service was on point and very accommodating with our new born. Who we were chopping it up with our waiter, and found out the owner's name is also the same as our kid so that was fun talking with them on. The garlic bread - idk if it's supposed to come cold, but it had like tomato sauce on it, it was like the complimentary bread with some extra shit on it. But I wasn't feeling that, but my inner Italian side just kept dipping it in my red, and it was all good. I'm glad we came here but probably won't be back if given the chance. But we looked around, and it seemed like to be the only viable Italian restaurant in the area so, if given under the same conditions, we would be back lol. I just went back and forth there like 3 times. Is that non-Ai enough of a review for you Yelp? After they flagged me for actually structuring and editing my reviews like in old school English class. Now yelp is promoting "Yelp Assistant" even though it's Ai. Gtfo here lmao

For our wedding anniversary, we traveled across the river to Annarellas Ristorante on 276 Malden…read moreTurnpike in Saugerties We arrived early as we were traveling about an hour away and we're aware there were many detours as the Malden Bridge is undergoing repairs.  I'd read about Annarellas prior to this, and based on glowing reviews chose this to mark 50 years together, 39 as husband and wife...long engagement! We were not disappointed. We were seated promptly by our lovely hostess, and Shaun immediately came over to recite specials and to take our orders. He was attentive and we knew we were in good hands! We started with the Dr. Fox Cocktail: Angostura bitters, Bulleit Rye, Apple Liqueur, Dry Curacao, and Sweet Vermouth, which was perfect. It was accompanied by a hummus trio to spread on the bread. There was also a delicious foccacio. Next we were served a perfect salad, delicately dressed, and what made the salad so delightful was that the lettuce was torn into manageable pieces. A pet peeve of mine is large lettuce leaves that are difficult to wrangle, and this was not the case here. There were also tiny bits of cauliflower that gave the salad a nice texture and crunch.  I had the Stuffed Artichoke and my husband had Shrimp Gamberi on an Arugula salad. Both were substantial and beautifully seasoned. We had two glasses of an Argentine Tomero Malbec. It was a generous pour. For the main course, I had Polla al Limone (Lemon Chicken) over spinach. A simple dish done well. My husband had the Halibut special, a classic Mediterranean baked halibut with tomatoes, capers, and olives. So good that he finished it all...a rarity for him. (The halibut was pricey and it would be appreciated if the price was mentioned when the specials were gone over. Perhaps we should have asked.) We finished with a Sorbetto al Lampone, a tart raspberry sorbet in a dark chocolate shell and sliced.  And as we left, our sweet hostess brought over Lucianno, the most adorable puppy, to send us off with puppy kisses! We definitely will be back...especially for the wild boar ragu over pappadelles. One nitpicking observation. The entrance to the restaurant was a tad shabby. We mistook it for the service entrance. It needs to be spruced up to match the superb food inside!

Labella's "Valatie" is amazing. I do not believe it is affiliated or related to any other…read morelabella's in our area or elsewhere. This place has it all. Great wine list, great pizza, delicious entrees, great service and huge portions /good value for price point. The in house made "house" salad dressing is the bomb. It's a balsamic something. The cannolis are better than most anywhere and large. I've been on a cannoli kick over the last year or 2 and this was better than any, including from Italian bakeries that I've had recently. The wine list is expansive and at $11 a glass, with a great pour, is reasonable, as is the bottle prices. I've been many times for both eat in and pizza for take out AND attended a catered event here and they really get everything right all the time. See you there!

We looked up Italian food options, and while there weren't too many choices in the area, this place's pizza looked really good--so we decided to give it a try. You walk in and the space feels much larger than expected--high ceilings with some familiar décor I've seen in other Italian restaurants, like small statues, vines, and painted scenery. You could also tell that this is a popular local spot, since it seemed like the staff knew several of the guests personally. We ordered a medium Margherita pie and a Penne alla Vodka--both simple and safe choices. The pasta dish came with a side salad (choice of house or Caesar), which was perfect. Note: if you prefer a small amount of dressing, you may want to ask for it on the side. We did make that request, but unfortunately, the server seemed to have forgotten, and our salad came drenched. We didn't mention it, though, because we weren't that hungry and just ate what we could before moving on. That said, the pizza and penne were both excellent. The pizza had that great brick oven flavor, fresh mozzarella, and a robust tomato sauce. The Penne alla Vodka was also flavorful and nicely seasoned. If you're ever in the area and in the mood for Italian food, definitely check this place out.

Love this place! One of the better restaurants in the area. We started with the black kale Caesar -…read moremy husband loved it but the honey wasn't for me. We then enjoyed two pastas, both of which were great. The squid ink pasta with scallops was tasty as was the bucatini (especially loved the thin slices of guanciale it came with). Then we got the quail which my husband loved but I was too full by then. We ended with the tiramisu, which is some of the best I have ever had - so incredibly creamy. Don't know how they got such an amazing whipped texture. I recommend making a reservation if you can. We walked in on a Friday night around 7pm without one as a party of two and just got the last two seats at the bar. Can't wait to return!

Perfect meal. Perfect service. Everything was delicious!…read more We visited for a family birthday and the welcoming on arrival was pleasant. Warm beautiful dining room with a wood burning fireplace, with a fire going, on a chilly night. Ann, our server was perfect. Perfect timing and flow, gave us recommendations and bussed empty glasses and plates every pass. They start you off with warm fresh Italian bread and a bean salad. Both were tasty and they also said popovers are coming. Another staff appeared with a piping hot fresh baked basket of popovers and gave us each one. It didn't even need butter. Amazing. It felt like being in a bakery in Italy or Europe. Next, our apps and salads arrived. The calamari was tasty, as was the mushroom beignets. I wasn't used to this style of mushroom caps but boy were they delicious. The salad was tasty and came with fresh homemade bread bits as croutons. Everyone at the table enjoyed the apps, the popovers, and our entree. The specials list and deserts sounded wonderful but it was just so much food, we were full. A+ all around and I will be going back soon.

The food is to die for- we ordered the fried burrata for an appetizer, and lasagna for entree. But it came with so many extras - an amazing bean salad, fresh baked bread and butter, a woman came around offering with a basket of "pop overs" - a pastry. Lovely place and service is prompt and everyone is so nice. We also asked the bartender to make an elderflower spritz and it turned out delicious!

We arrived at our favorite resort yesterday and had a 4:15 p.m. reservation for an early dinner…read more Upon arrival, the hostess greeted us warmly, and we were seated immediately in a large, comfortable booth in the dining room behind the bar area. She was friendly and professional from the moment we arrived until we left, making us feel truly appreciated as guests. We shared our favorite cocktail, the Lavender Lemon Drop, which was once again fresh, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. For our appetizer, we ordered the Filet Mignon Meatballs. My husband enjoyed the Chicken Parm served with linguine, and I had the Shrimp Parm with linguine. Every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service from our server this time was not as attentive as it was during our visit two months ago with a different server. While the hostess provided outstanding, and courteous service, the same could not be said of our server. The difference in the level of hospitality was noticeable and somewhat disappointing. Overall, we still enjoyed another delicious meal.

We have eaten at Mazzeo's before and the restaurant has a huge local following…read more It was across from our resort and is very convenient. The restaurant ambiance is a traditional nice dark wood and brass trim environment. We decided to order their grilled Halibut special over potato gnocchi. Very Delicious. As for their service, that was the weak point of the meal. Our server was not very friendly and customer driven. When we noticed other tables being taken care of more professionally, an example was when we asked for some EVOO for our bread and the server brings us an oil/vinegar rack used for salads. Other tables were given their special EVOO garlic upgrade. Overall the food was prepared perfectly by their kitchen culinary staff. Thank you. They do need to work with this one server because she was not their shining star.

Finally made it back to Hudson valley. Stayed in Windham this time, but still made it top priority…read moreto make the quick drive to Piccolo Trattoria. Service was friendly and the food was amazing. The "new" (to us) building was spacious and clean. Perhaps because it wasn't too busy on a Thursday evening, it wasn't overly crowded (three tables were taken when we got there at around 8pm), but you could definitely hear the conversations from tables that were close by. Complimentary rolls were delicious. We got the Calamari Fritta to start and no complaints. Nice, crisp, light breading with a pleasant marinara dipping sauce. My GF got the Gnocchi in a fra diavolo sauce, which she loved (and said would order again) and I got the shrimp scampi with linguine; it came with 7 or 8 decently-sized shrimp that was combined with the silky smooth, lemony, buttery, garlicky scampi sauce. Absolutely would order again. Piccolo Trattoria will always be on my list of go-to places whenever we are in the area.

We got takeout because of the high reviews- we were so happy a small town restaurant could be so…read moregood. The rice ball appetizer: We have gotten them in Sicily and my MIL and other family members made them- we still get them in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, these were such a strange weird consistency- mushy, almost like mashed potatoes, I think it may have been a tiny bit of rice, mushy breadcrumbs it looked like and a very tiny bit of meat mushed in it. Lasagna- (this was the real reason for our visit- the best is at Canalis in Rotterdam but we hoped for as good and closer)- TOTALLY overcooked mushy pasta (you undercook the noodles Al dente because it's baked and continues cooking after it's made), couldn't taste any of the supposed meat inside, just an overwhelming amount of cheese. All that said- "the bread was good". Staff were friendly and it's a very cute place, but unfortunately we won't be returning.
