“Very good food The turkey and roast beef are actually cooked there so that way there's less preservatives and b******* in it The turkey by far is pretty much the best seller I've seen so far and they use very fresh ingredients. it's better than buying a breakfast sandwich that's been sitting for a few hours then just get one made to order however you want“

“First time here for a private party and i cannot say enough great things about not only the food but the staff also. By far one of the best upcoming restaurants in the Hudson valley. The pizza was so flavorful, fresh with perfect crust n that’s coming from someone whose family owned pizzeria for years. Another must have is the house made penelle which aside from my nonna making it I’ve never had in any restaurant. Last but not least the cannoli were some of the best I’ve had in months. This place is 1000% worth the drive from anywhere in the area. Will be coming back asap“

“My husband and I were in town for a couple days and had a real hankering for Italian food. We recently visited Italy and were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of this restaurant. We live in San Diego and were traveling quite a distance. Hands down the veal Parmesan and bruschetta were the best we have had since we left Italy. You must patron this restaurant, you’re missing out if not. Quaint, delicious and tasty!“

“We had been given a Gift Certificate for this place and decided to try it. Wow!! We were so happy we did. Our Server Matt was top notch. He took very good care of us. The drinks were good and we enjoyed the Portobello Mushroom appetizer. Our entrees were pasta dishes that were delicious. We are sorry it took us so long to ‘discover’ this Restaurant . We will be back“

“Just had the most amazing salad! Romana Salad with grilled chicken and balsamic dressing. So good!!!!“

“The best Italian 🇮🇹 restaurant in Dutchess County! We’ve been coming to Gino’s for years and the food is always spectacular!“

“Ordered rigatoni with meatballs and it was delicious. I like that it came wet so the pasta wasn’t dry from soaking up sauce . The meat balls were sliced and I like that again it was delicious.
Mom ordered eggplant and came with spaghetti and she liked hers too.
Thank you !“

They went above and beyond with the extra attention for her birthday and made for a great evening. Thank you!! And an extra thank you to the pastry cream for the custom birthday cake!!!“

“Touch of Naples is by far the best pizza in the Hudson Valley. Anyone who thinks differently is unfortunately wrong. I’ve been going here for 38 years and the quality has always been unbelievable. Their old style Sicilian and grandma pizzas are amazing. The giant slice is a great value. And the selection of different slices at the counter is fantastic. Awesome staff very friendly reasonable prices. They don’t deliver, you know why… They’ve never needed to. It’s worth going there.“

“One of the best pizzas ive ever had“

“I love this restaurant, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites.

If you haven’t been here you are missing out.“

“I'm not easily impressed but Joseph's Italian Steakhouse really hit a home run on all levels. Best Prime Rib I've ever had, so tasty and cooked perfectly. The sides we equally delicious which elevated my whole experience. The hospitality was superb and judging by the looks on other patrons' faces, I assume others had a similar experience.“

“I cannot recommend Mel's enough! I purchased the Holiday Catering Special for a work party and the food was amazing! I added a 1/2 tray of eggplant rollatini and also tortellini primavera and this easily fed 30 people (with leftovers!) My co-workers were raving about the food and I easily said it was all from Mel's. This special catering combo is the perfect mix for any party!!! (I will also add I ordered on Monday morning and picked up Tuesday evening! Quick service as well!!!) 👏“

“We went with 16 men for the Holidays! Waiter on point right down to the last detail of everyone meticulous order! Chef Jordan everything cook to perfection - Place was packed - now I know Why!! Will go back with my Family! Thanks!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
Frank’s Deli is one of my favorite local spots! Their fresh sausage is absolutely amazing — you can really taste the quality. I also love their good, hearty seeded bread — perfect for sandwiches or just dipping in olive oil and provolone cheese.

Whenever they have it fresh, I always grab the broccoli rabe, Italian long hots, and eggplant caponata — they’re so flavorful On a few occasions, I’ve gotten the caponata or long hots that seemed past their prime, but that’s rare, and it doesn’t take away from how great this place usually is.

When everything’s fresh (which it usually is), Frank’s is unbeatable. It’s a neighborhood gem!“

“I've been ordering from Bacio to-go occasionally for a few years now. Their food is fantastic and what I appreciate most is their consistency. Whatever I order, it's the same quality meal, regardless of day of the week or time of day. Overall just delicious food and quality service each and every time. Thank you!“

“I randomly chose to stop along Rt. 9N to try pizza (for the first time) at "Ronzoni". I found the employees to be friendly and helpful. I decided to eat inside rather than take-out.The pizza ? was tasty ? and I would definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area“

“awesome pizza!! Def recommend!“

“MADISON'S PIZZA CAFE in the heart of Pleasant Valley is a warm and friendly place with great pizza and many other dine in or take out menu options. There's a definite local neighborhood vibe here and the owners and staff make you feel like family. I will be back soon to work my way through that fun menu“

“I've only had the Pizza so far (take out) but can say it's always been great“

“Our guests kept going back for seconds (and thirds!), and many asked where we got the food from. It truly made the event special. Reliable service, generous portions, and unbeatable taste—Roma Deli is now our go-to for any future catering needs.“

“thank you for the sandwiches. they hit the spot today. the dynamic duo was amazing. thank you for customizing for me. and you were so freindly on the phone. so nice to hear a smile these days. thank you. stay safe!“

“Stonehedge has always been a favorite restaurant for our family. Unfortunately due to life circumstances we hadn’t been there for a couple of years. My husband and I decided to end the drought and went to celebrate our anniversary and we are so glad we did. Everything was even better than we remembered it. It started with the delicious and wonderfully fresh dinner rolls that we’ve always loved. The French onion soup was the best I’ve had in ages (I’m a French onion soup snob😂) and the baked stuffed clams were just as my husband remembered them. The dinner salad with the house dressing was cold and fresh, and we highly recommend the double cut pork chop and the jumbo shrimp francaise as dinner entrees. We both left full and more than satisfied - they never disappoint! Thank you to the folks at Stonehedge for the great meal and good service. It felt like we were coming home! We promise you’ll see us again soon.“
