There is now a fence along the right side of Parnassus Lane when driving towards Big Pink. We were…read moreable to see the Big Pink house through the fence, but my wife forced me to turn the car around before we got to the driveway because of the No Trespassing signs. I didn't blame her because I'm not looking to get shot. I love The Band, but I'm also seen the movie Deliverance so we turned around. I'm not sure how friendly the current occupants of Big Pink are, but I'm not sure the neighbors are too keen on visitors driving down Parnassus - it feels like someone's private driveway. UPDATE: I see from Kathleen D.'s review from 2014 the current owners (Don and Sue) are friendly and actually rent out Big Pink for others to stay in. However, I notice the website (https://bigpinkbasement.com/) has updates from 2015 and I wasn't sure what the current situation was like in 2024. I reached out on the website's Contact Us form and here's the response I received: "Hi Julian, Yes you may come down the road at your own risk. A neighbor put up the signs. We are still renting, the link to VRBO is on the big pink basement website. There is a minimum of 3 nights. If you have trouble booking please let me know. All the best, Susan LaSala"

Between the Kindness of the Owner & her daughter, I'm returning from heavenly right now. She told me, she would try to get a food delivery to me & voila! She took some thoughtfulness, kindness & generosity from her heart & soon, my doorbell rings. Yup. I met her daughter next. I didn't know! I called her mom, "My angel!" She smiled & said, "That's my mom." I said, "You're both incredibly lucky & blessed." She smiled again, dazzling & said, "I know I am." Now, here, please note. Yes, she brought me my food. I asked if the next time she was in my hood, if she'd mind dropping me off a menu. She smiled as she left. "No problem!" About 5 bites later, my doorbell rings again. It was Dazzling angel. She has a pizza box & Menu in her hands. She said, "I forgot to bring you our Bread. I'm sorry. Here's our Menu & there are new items on it." Really my speedy brain jumps ahead to? OMG! More deliciousness to chose from?! Holy moly. She handed both to me, I opened pizza box & think I passed out! Face in Bread. Yumm. "No, I'm good. You go on ahead. Thanks tho lol." No! I'm Not suggesting that you have my week, nor my "luck"! No. I'm not saying that La Florentina can, nor should, nor would be capable of doing all this, all the time or even once again. But, holy freakin, try the food here! WoW! Yumm I ordered way too much food, leftovers. Yay! Thank goodness! Chicken in Mushroom Sauce. I'm gonna try including pics, but. Yea, well..... we shall see. Perfect! It's light, while filling. The flavors, partially due to great Ingredient Sourcing, partially cause food is prepared with love & of course, because putting chicken, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms & spinach over penne-Genius! It's Delicious! Bread. Like Focaccia, but more better imo! Besides being as light as air & as delicious as a dream. Yea. It's ok lol. Freakin Delish! Eggplant Rollatini. Spelling? sorry. Eggplant, mine was stuffed with mozzarella cheese & had some chicken stuffed inside too. The red sauce, gravy, tomato sauce-all same thing btw, in American - Italian speak, Outstanding. Is there such a thing as Simple & Complex, concurrently? Now there is! I got so lost in the gravy, I forgot what I was eating! My mind drifted sideways, to Florence, Venice, Rome & other places I've lived in & visited, in Italy. The flavors in this, the taste, that's what did this to me! It tastes like Home, childhood & happiness-all smooshed together! I'm about to cry now. Get it together Jolie! Ok! sorry. Tiramisu-Yup. I said it! OMG! I've been fantasizing about 2 things for a while now. Ok, maybe 4 lol. Hush you plz lol. I ordered 2 pieces! "Of course you did Jolie!" Yup! 1 for now & the other for breakfast! Yup & try it for breakfast, see how good your willpower is sometime, before ya knock it please. Holy moly this is Good. Every flavor Balances. I'm not kidding! It's just perfect is all. Yup. Great Jolie! Now there won't be any left for you anymore. That's ok. I share. Now for easy, but probably my hard fail part. Bringing in the pics! In zero way do my photos here (I hope they come.

Thank You Ladies, for making my heart so full, I cried happy tears from all of your kindness-es. Thank you for the love you infuse into your foods! I couldn't stop eating & now I'm waddling around like I'm pregnant. Food baby. I genuinely couldn't stop my hand from putting another bite into my mouth & another. Meanwhile , I'm moaning at being Soo way full. I'm laughing & feeling kinda-out of body. I finally had to grab my right hand, with my left & hold it down! The food is that good! I'm not joking. I'm glad you're laughing! You Know! Now I'm laughing too. Thank You for that! When a restaurant's food, evokes not only childhood tastes & memories, (clearly this makes me biased) & tastes this amazing. Well, you follow your own star please. I'm staying right here thank you. Ladies, I'm stunned, delighted & so full of delightful goodness! If I say thank you, to you both, for the rest of my Life, 1,000 times a day, it will never be enough to me! Thank You Angels!

Bonus points for the spacious parking, which makes getting in and out completely stress-free. The food highlights: The Bread Basket: Not your average starter! It comes with bread, pita, and an amazing hummus that rivals my own mother's. Plus, fried dough that my daughter polished off instantly. Burrata Board: Super unique, fun presentation, and totally delicious. Main Courses & Kids: The kids sliders and fries were a massive hit with my daughter. My chicken and eggplant over pasta was phenomenal and tasted so fresh. Dessert: The chocolate lava cake was the perfect, rich ending to a great dinner. We left totally full, happy, and leftovers for tomorrow from the generous portions. It is a complete turnaround from how it used to be under the old owners. Five stars all the way, highly recommend!

Would definitely recommend giving this lovely spot a try, however... Do not order the "pizza"…read more Meatball appetizer with polenta was amazing. Ordered two different pasta dishes which were very good. On another visit decided to try the pizza....it is not pizza. Not sure why it's listed in a separate category as if you are actually getting a pizza. It does indicate crispy flatbread style but this was not even a flat bread. I would liken it to a saltine cracker with canned tomato sauce and mozzarella- that was the flavor- yet it wasn't crispy it was completely limp when we tried to pick it up. The staff was very attentive and graciously accommodated our disappointment with the item. It's rather odd because this pizza selection doesn't fit with the rest of the menu. Avoid that one thing and you'll be ok!

We chose this because we thought they had a ton of holiday decor, however was mistaken; it's just an old school bar that serves Italian food. Service was very attentive and friendly. In general, everyone in there was chill and happy which is always a good sign. Ordered a few negronis which were all well made. We got the eggplant rollatini, fried calamari and house salad to start. They really don't skimp on the portions. Calamari included tentacles which I didn't expect from this kind of place; it was fresh and pretty much as good as it gets, especially upstate. Eggplant rollatini was well made and showcased their really good sauce. House salad is loaded up with cheese (parmigiana and gorgonzola) however I mean that in the best way; it eats like a Caesar, and it's a massive portion. Got the penne ala vodka with chicken cutlet for my main although I was tempted by the bolognese special. It was damned good. Vodka sauce was fantastic, and chicken cutlet was plentiful and on the well done side. I think I got 3 meals out of this and I'm not a small dude. Great meal all around and the perfect cap to our day. I don't make it to Kingston much however I would come here whenever nearby. Vibe is great and the food is better. Never a bad thing to have another reliable Italian place around!
