I had the best time dining by myself at Paul's but I can understand the not so great reviews. Let…read moreme explain. Sat at the bar alone, ordered a glass of Chianti and I can hear all the locals enjoying conversations with the staff across the bar and pizza kitchen. It's a very neighborly environment and I love that. Eventually some regulars came to chat with me and we had a fun evening together. I even learned how to say Cook-Sake (like Japanese rice wine) correctly. Now as a CHEF...here's my constructive criticism. I ordered the Chicken Parm + Fettuccine. Here's where the problem lies. It's the tomato sauce. It's like Restaurant Depot canned. There's too much sugar, the texture is not good and it's been canned for way too long. Tomato sauce is simple. Why not make your own? From my POV, this is why you have negative reviews. Don't cut corners. Make your own tomato sauce! Make it creamy so you can use it on pizza, calzones, chicken parm, meatballs and have an outstanding sauce that the whole town is raving about. I hope your business does well. You certainly have great potential in a small town. Good luck!

This casual…read morepizza shop and Italian eatery serves up traditional thin crust pizzas (whole pie or slices), calzones, strombolis, salads, pasta dinners, and bottled drinks from the cooler. The prices are fair. The place is order at the counter and there is ample seating in the dining room which has a flatscreen TV. I ordered a Calzone with Sausage ($11 plus tax) which was made to order and ready in about 15 minutes. The sausage calzone was very good and very hot, which was a thick soft and slightly chewy dough pocket filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and ground sausage, served with a zesty tomato sauce on the side. I enjoyed my food outside since it was a nice sunny day outside and warming up too! The owner was running the kitchen and counter and asked me if I was paying cash or card. I usually pay cash and I was told if I had exact change ($11.88), that would be helpful since his wife made a bank run and took the money too. Luckily, I had lots of loose change on me was able to pay exactly $11.88, which the owner was very thankful.

The breakfast menu offers egg dishes, omelettes, pancakes, French toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches and breakfast sides. The prices here seem pretty reasonable. While traveling through Coxsackie on a snowy day, I decided to stop in at TJ's Pizza 2 for a calzone. The porch steps were a bit slippery, hanging onto the rail and the staff salted the walk before taking my order. The place is order at the counter and there is ample seating in the dining room. I ordered a Steak & Cheese Calzone with Sausage ($11.25 plus tax) which was made to order and ready in about 12 minutes. The calzone was very tasty in a soft and slightly chewy dough pocket filled with shaved steak, peppers, onions, mushrooms, mozzarella & ricotta cheeses, served with a zesty tomato sauce on the side. I enjoyed my hot calzone back in the vehicle while enjoying a caffeinated refreshment and watching the snow fall. I will have to stop by again to try out their breakfast!

Food was wonderful! For appetizers we had the, clam chowder (thick, creamy, nice amount of clam),…read moreraw oysters (fresh, tasty, although had to ask for Tabasco and malt vinegar), and crab cakes (minimally seasoned but nice balance of bread crumb mixture to crab). For mains my guests had the fried sampler platter, broiled and cajuned shrimp and scallops, and I had the prime rib added scallops at $3 each. My prime rib was tasty and substantial but the temperature was just warm, not hot, and therefore had to be sent back. Once corrected the meal was great. Scallops were small but they gave me double the amount at the same price because of the size. The sides were mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts which were seasoned well and tasted great. Sprouts were tender but not mushy. Potatoes were tasty with a good intentional lumpiness that I appreciated. Also tried the lavender lemonade mocktail which was delicious. Decided against adding the one pound of King Crab as the market price was $99 and I can get a bag of two pounds for $70. We didn't do dessert but will next time were in the area because the slices of chocolate cake we saw were HUGE and the varieties looked scrumptious. Service was pleasant although there was a long block of time after we received our food where we were looking for the waitress so we could pay. The busser ended up pitching in.

The shapes are cool, they hold sauce well, and then it's and pickup are solid. Also if you find it on sale it sits well in the middle ground for price performance value.

On my 1st visit, we ordered the meatball app and I got a veal dish, after trying for one of the fish specials that was sold out. Cousin got chicken parm. We both enjoyed all 3. Very good flavor, cooked perfectly and nice presentation. Very Good portion for price point. We both left with full bellies and had some to take home. Salads are included and I liked the house dressing. On my 2nd visit, I attempted to order the duck and beans pasta dish, but they were sold out of the duck. Switched to pasta with white clam sauce and it was delicious and plentiful. When we arrived, the server who sat us cautioned us and another couple and asked for us to bear with her, since the other 2 servers scheduled to work called out. She said it maybe slow. She and the bus boy helper kid ran the entire dining room and every table was full and she did a great job! We didn't feel like we waited extra at all. We ordered wine, an app and our meals and the pace of the meal was perfect. After 2 visits, I can confidently recommend Che Figata and it is on my top list. I'll visit frequently. Especially for the prices and portions and quality. Authentic great Italian food. Also, there is an ice cream shop next door - Jane's (home made) ice cream, which is great, too. That is - if you didn't get a delicious dessert at Che Figata. Buon appetito

I got the eggplant Parmesan and it was so good. The sauce was well balanced tomato with cheese on top. And the eggplant was crusted beautifully, nice and crispy. It comes with a side of spaghetti and bread. If you order this menu option I highly recommend sharing this with another person. It's definitely a lot for a single serving so come hungry. Another thing I appreciate about this restaurant is that they have a dedicated vegetarian section of the menu. For those who don't eat meat, they got you covered. It can get a little crowded during rush dinner time but you shouldn't have a problem getting a seat. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. Best Italian food in the local area.

I picked the Kitchen sink cookie feeling a little better about the exorbitant pricing they have always had. I shoved the receipt into my pocket and continued on my trip. Today I found the receipt. They charged $5.85 for the cookie that was supposed to be a free credit AND took my free pastry credit. Tried to call them all day today. The phone rings and rings with no options to place a catering order OR to reach an employee. It rings forever and then someone seems to pick up / hang up. I've called other Panera's to fix this. They say the only store that can fix it is the HANNACROIX NY PANERA that I went to. Who do you hire, Panera? For food, predictably the same at all of your stores, why do you charge so much? Someone should rethink your business model rather quickly in my humble opinion. I think you owe me - at least - $5.85 or some credits; your call. As we converse with our children and colleagues, these things come up. Conversation is the stuff of advertising. Take a look at your Mac 'n cheese prices. I'm sure I'm not the only one suggesting you fix this.

Talbott & Arding was chosen as our first stop on our girls' getaway journey. Tucked in the Hudson Valley, just an hour from the Berkshires, it was a sweetly energetic beginning to our day. We each chose a sandwich from the counter. My smoked salmon on focaccia was a delight. The bread, airy and light, beautifully happy yeast just bounding with lift, defying the constraints of olive oil which left my fingers gloriously glistening. I haven't had a focaccia as happy as that in a minute. Super thin radish, bright pickled shallot and fresh watercress all gave a nice vibrant touch. Ben's cream cheese couldn't possibly be creamier. And the delicate, silky, fresh, luxurious salmon... What a dream. So balanced. I filled my arms with goods- iberico salami, Aleppo chili oil, Blackstrap coffee beans, local chocolates, and an adorable Talbott & Arding puzzle. I'm sure I could have easily convinced myself to buy just about everything I laid my eyes upon. The cheese counter was an absolute work of art. It's clear that Talbott & Arding is a willing servant to the gifts of the surrounding earth and people. The homage it pays is palpable.
