    My wife and I got off a Hudson River Boat and this place is directly across the street, what a Gem. We ordered the Waterfront Salad, the FICO Pizza, and each had a delicious cocktail. The garlic sticks that came with our meal was to die for. Our waitress Marie did a Fantastic job taking care us. No pic of the Amazing Salad, sorry. Highly Recommend.

    Very nice Italian American dining experience. The food was great. We started with Caesar salad with added anchovies. The layered lasagna was delicious and the filet Marsala was cooked to perfection. Service was fine. Portions are rather large, but I understand that's what customers seem to expect.

    First thing: we ordered off the specials menu and then were told oh--wrong menu, we're out of that. Then we noticed that every other table for bread and when I said something the waitress overheard me and came over to say since I have a dairy allergy & they have butter she was having them make special bread. Fine--but what she brought was just plain toasted bread. She only brought it because she heard me fine. My chicken sandwich was fine but the fries--bland. Not salted & soggy. The fried chicken sandwich was overly fried and lacked something fresh--possibly the garnish of lettuce it was on? Finally, the soda was so watered down. We didn't say anything but when the waitress came to ask if we wanted another she also said she had noticed it was weak & they were changing it. She never brought a new one. So...meh on service. Food was okay. Nothing terrible but nothing great.

    We hadn't tried this restaurant since it supplanted a wonderful Lebanese eatery that closed in the pandemic. We were cheerfully greeted and seated in a nicely appointed dining area and noted an outdoor area as well. We were thankful to be inside as it was a hot and steamy evening. We started with cocktails which we selected from among a number of unique choices. A blood orange martini and a Savona old-fashioned were our favorites. The restaurant provided some tasty bread, which was unusual in that it appeared to be coated with oil and seasonings. For appetizers we had an antipasto and a Burrata Caprese. The latter was extraordinary, the former was very good, but not great. All of our entrées were well prepared and generous portions. My personal favorite was the Zuppa Pescatore, which was spiced to order. Desserts of NY cheesecake and Cannolis were quite good. Service was very friendly though occasionally spotty. Overall an excellent dining experience!

    While in Hudson, NY we stopped in to this establishment. To tell you the truth thr smell of the food lured us in- THANK GOD!! We started with thr eggplant tower for appetizer. It was fried eggplant and it was so light, you would not know it was fried!! Thr tower had fresh mozzarella, pesto and some type of cream sauce. Delicious !! For lunch we had the salad, it was fried crunchy chicken with salad that had hard blooded egg, hearts, Kalamata olives, re onions and very home made dressing. It was huge, def for two people to share. Now let's get to the drinks, I had a pear martini and hubs got jack n coke. My drink was soooo delish, you could taste pear nectar and it was nice and strong!! Over all place was great, simple yet elegant decor and air conditioning!!! Lol. Definitely stop here when in Hudson, NY

    Via Cassia - Summer seasonal pasta

    We were excited to try Via Cassia during our visit to Hudson over the MLK holiday weekend, and it…read moredidn't disappoint. We arrived right on time for our 7 P.M. reservation, to a room that was warm and buzzy. We chatted briefly with Meigan, one of the owners, who was absolutely lovely, before being seated promptly. I ordered the gricia, which was divine (mine never turns out this well!), and my husband had the squid ink pasta with scallops, which he loved. We then shared the flat iron steak, which was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed a few glasses of a Tuscan blend, which was just the thing to complement our meal. All in all, it was the perfect Saturday date night dinner, in a cozy, romantic setting. We trudged through the snow, back to our hotel, happy and full. We'll definitely return.

    Had a lovely meal at Via Cassia, which welcomed us with open arms at the end of a long workday. We…read morehad walked by Via Cassia a number of times before dining here, oftentimes seeing folks enjoying Aperol spritzes at the outdoor tables having what seemed to be a relaxed and joyous time, which made for a very compelling advertisement. While it was too hot to sit outside when we dined here, we made sure to start with a couple of Aperol spritzes, which were delicious and exactly what the night called for. I wouldn't say the food was as mind blowing as many of the reviews have described it to be, but it was still very good, albeit a bit inconsistent. We'll of course need to return to sample more of the menu (particularly the pastas, which we did not try on this occasion). We came here at around 8:30pm on a Wednesday night. When I looked online, I saw reservations opens throughout the night, so I didn't end up making one, mainly because we weren't sure what time we'd make it out for dinner. As it turned out -- mostly like because it was Wednesday and many places in town are closed -- Via Cassia was packed and there was nothing open when we arrived. We ended up sitting maybe 15 minutes later so it didn't end up being much of an issue, and we made sure to put in an order of Aperol spritzes to sip on while we waited. Food-wise, we ended up going the protein and veggie route and forgoing the pastas. I usually don't give much attention to pastas at Italian restaurants because I'm gluten-free, but through my thorough review review, I saw that Via Cassia offers gluten-free pasta and that it is heralded as quite good. I happened to not be in the mood for pasta on this particular night but it seems like that is where Via Cassia shines, so I'll know better next time. What we had, as I mentioned, was still solid though. Eats, below: Black Tuscan Kale Salad w/ honey and black truffle vinaigrette and ricotta salata: A+ Far and away the best thing we had. I honestly could have had three of these instead of the two veggie sides we got, and that's a lot coming from me because I'm always out for the most variety possible. The lacinato kale was so fresh and delicious and held the magical and heavenly dressing in the perfect way. The ricotta on top made it that much more decadent (decadent for a salad, at least). Grilled Quail w/ lemon yogurt and roasted corn: A- Always excited to see quail on a menu. The amount of protein was a bit smaller than we were expecting and while cooked very well, it was definitely underseasoned. However, the corn, yogurt and all other accompaniments were super flavorful and delicious, and when combined with the quail in one bite, it altogether worked very well. Halibut w/ cherry tomatoes, roasted summer squash, cucumber: B+ Similar to the quail, the halibut was fairly bland but the accompaniments were well-seasoned and flavorful, and paired nicely with the fish to make for a well-rounded and tasty bite. I appreciated the use of seasonal ingredients, as bright and colorful as they were fresh. Broccolini w/ black garlic mustard and pickled chilis: B Beginning to think someone had a bit too light of a touch on the salt or something on this particular night, because the broccolini was also lacking some flavor. All components were there and you'd expect with this preparation to have good flavor, but it wasn't quite there. Also very oily. Roasted Baby Carrots w/ honey and pink peppercorn vinaigrette: A- Oily again, but more flavor this time, making it somewhere between a B+ and A-. The vinaigrette itself was light and tasty -- the oiliness seemed to mostly come from what I imagine was involved in the roasting process. In any case, an easy fix, and these were otherwise very good, a hit for my partner in particular. We split the negroni (made with Malfy gin, which I hadn't heard of before) at the end of the night because we wanted to try it without drinking all that much. Highly recommend and splitting one will not feel even close to enough. Next time I'll be getting a whole one for myself, no sharing allowed.

Our table was in the same room as the bar but next to the fireplace. The bar doesn't have actual seating - they have tables in front of it which is nice and keeps the intimate, moody quiet vibe. It definitely had a romantic vibe with the fire, the lighting and lots of flowers throughout hanging from the ceiling. My only complaint is that there was a table with kids who were pretty noisy in the beginning. Not exactly what I was expecting for my Valentine's Day dinner but that's what I get for an early dinner! The food was excellent overall. We had a sense of what we wanted but then the server came over and told us the specials which threw us for a loop! I was dead set on getting pasta because Feast & Floret is known for their homemade pasta but we ended up ordering a few different plates: Quail Special - This was my first time ever having quail. The plate came out with 2 whole birds and to say I wasn't nervous would be a lie. It was a little salty (not sure if maybe it should be) but tender and delicious. It came with creamed Kale and nuts. Chilled Beets with Mint - Weird having with a hot meal but still so good. Butternut Squash Arancini -- A must try. You can taste a hint of butternut squash. It wasn't too overpowering. Affogato - The simplest dessert on the menu but worth it. Regarding drinks, try their Honey Old Fashioned. I'm not a whiskey drinker but always try my girlfriend's drink when we go out. Their Honey Old Fashioned was so good that it made me want to order one for myself! Feast & Floret also sells their own honey. Before we left to get to the show, I had asked about making our own bouquet. Grace, the florist, allowed us to pick what we liked and she arranged our bouquet

The way New Yorkers truly love their pizza? Nnnnno. Kudos to Baba Louie's I guess for experimenting with sourdough flour. But what makes people think that sourdough flour would be the ultimate replacement for regular, good ol' fashioned flour? While some folks are praising Baba L. for the sourdough, hubs and I found the texture unappealing and tasteless. Everything that went on top of the crust though, was tasty. My small Pomodoro Bianco with fresh mozzarella, roasted portobello, garlic, tomatoes, red onions, chevre (opted out of it), pesto and Parmesan sounds like a mouthful- but the tomato slices were too thick. Hubs liked his pepperoni pie and seasony sauce ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Even with like 45 minutes to spare before their 3pm Sunday closing time, we were seated smoothly without the rush from our server. So much so, folks came in droves like 20 minutes to closing and weren't turned away. Our server rocked big time and handled herself like the ultimate pro from the moment she sat us, brought over our pies and when we left.

So finding places to satisfy everyone is more complicated. This place met our needs and can meet yours: dog friendly, vegetarian options, and has something for even the pickiest of people. Me and another person got the strip steak, my husband got the Philly cheesesteak, MIL got the wunderbar burger, FIL got salmon burger, the vegan-ish got a veggie burger and one of the salads, which he split with his wife the SIL, and my picky BIL got the chicken sandwich. He freaked out over the sandwich because he wanted to know why it was moist and not dry. His partner and I were like, "You can have fully-cooked, moist chicken. Dry chicken isn't the only cooked option." But he continued to have a meltdown over his perfectly cooked chicken. He did eat it though. Family can drive you nuts sometimes. Anyways, despite the meltdown, I think we were all satisfied with our food. I did find the mashed potato on the steak to be very creamy but everything else on the plate was very good. Steak was cooked medium-rare liked I asked. Overall, the place is very good, excellent food, excellent service, and it was a busy night.
