“So many great things to say with Kim and TJ taking over, the daily posts, the new pies, the friendly faces throughout the team. A pizza place that I don’t need to order through door dash! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The Angry Chef does it all; excellent food, fantastic service, in a very friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Pricing is extremely reasonable for this experience.“

“Melissa and Antonio are the best, a long with their kids. I grew up with them. They are all hands on deck. Food is immaculate. Every time you go you find a new favorite on the menu. The flavors and spices that mix together are truly amazing, it’s a family tradition to have birthdays or any type of celebration at Antonio’s in my family. Highly recommend“

“Came here for a girls’ night with friends who had never been before, but we were all intrigued by margarita night — and it did not disappoint! We each ordered something different for dinner, and every dish was better than the next. The prices were spot on for the quality. The food was top-notch, made with fresh ingredients, and you could truly taste the difference in both the meals and the drinks. Both said it’s the same feeling you get when your in Italy! The staff was outstanding, and the owner, Rita, is doing a fantastic job running the restaurant. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you absolutely need to — it’s a true gem!“

“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 !“

“Lombardi’s of Middle Island is a true gem for lovers of classic Italian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff make you feel like family. The setting is cozy yet upscale, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions.
I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly breaded—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. It was generously smothered in a rich, tangy marinara sauce and topped with a blanket of melted mozzarella that added just the right amount of creaminess. The portion size was hearty and satisfying, served alongside a bed of al dente pasta that soaked up the sauce beautifully.
What really stood out was the balance of flavors. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and homemade, with a hint of garlic and basil that elevated the dish. It’s clear Lombardi’s takes pride in using quality ingredients and traditional recipes.
Service was prompt and friendly, and the staff made great recommendations. The garlic bread starter was also a hit—crispy, buttery, and loaded with flavor.
Parking was easy, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. Whether you're a local or just passing through Long Island, Lombardi’s is a must-visit. Their Chicken Parmesan alone is worth the trip.
Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian comfort food done right.“

“This is the one pizza place in the Hudson Valley I genuinely crave nonstop. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and made with care—you can taste it every time. The Italian Flag and Nonna’s pie are favorites for a reason. Do yourself a favor and try them!“

“We go about once a week and have never had a problem. Their 9.99 large cheese pizza on Tuesdays has become a ritual (of course we order other items and there is plenty for leftovers for a day or two). Service is always great whether eating in or take out. Happy to have a great Italian restaurant near by.“

“I love this restaurant, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites. It has amazing flatbread pizza with all the gourmet toppings you can think AND they have a few dinner specials that are absolutely delicious. Lastly, everything is fresh, tasty and not overly priced. If you haven’t been here you are missing out.“

“One of my favorite Italian places🍷!“

“It is very nice place relaxing ,good pizza ,beer…“

“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“

“I go to Rino's for the amazing customer service - I go back to Rino's for the delicious food. While you're waitingon the0tk0p, check out the little Italian grocery section full of imported oils and vinegar and traditional ils school pasta shapes like orecchiette.“

“Nice staff, good prices, solid Pizza. Next time I’ll have to try some kitchen food! Pizza is excellent. Almost went back for seconds lol“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
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!“

“Food is excellent! Especially the creamy turkey soup! Carmen at the counter is very friendly. I look forward to the daily specials.“

“We love this place! Always the best food and service!“

“This place amazes every time we go. Plenty of seating, the food is outstanding. Service is excellent. Very good wine. We had the baked ravioli and the chicken cacciatore over penne. Fantastic!! Spumoni and tiramisu were delicious. Must go!!!!!“

“the food is great there i tried some of the baked ziti and the wings and my family ordered from there half a tray of seafood too of everything it was to die for even thou i cant eat shrimp and lobster“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“Stopped by Pasquale’s for a cheese slice after a hike, and it totally hit the spot. Really good slice! I also love the layout—there are spots for a quick bite and plenty of comfy tables and booths if you want to sit down for a full meal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Everything !!!! There food is amazing“

“We ordered trays of wraps and salads yesterday for my daughter in laws baby shower. Every wrap was delicious, fresh and beautifully laid out on trays. The macaroni and potato salad were just like homemade! It was all perfect for the occasion! Will definitely use them for every party!!“

“We love Maganini winery, the food is amazing, we love the wine, the staff is fantastic, and so are the owners. We go to Maganini whenever we are in the area, sometimes that’s every weekend. The live music is great, and we love the fact that they host different events. You have to try one of there 6 course meals.“

“What a Joy to have this place on our way home to Kerhonkson.

We lucked out and landed on a Tuesday in which there is a special promotion for a pie. Not that you need one because the pies at GP are astronomical (and delicious).

I stopped by with my 3yr old and pregnant wife , and we didn't have to break the piggy bank to satisfy our cravings, which were insatiable.

I believe it was the owners who served us then his team mates who were all graceful and professional.

Tell you what, I think we'll stop by again.

Keep it up keep it real!“

“Good food but be careful using your debit card here. It took them 2 weeks to process their transactions for the charge to finally hit my bank. No joke!!! It took 2 WEEKS for the charge to hit my bank account!!!“

“Best italian food around !😁❣️“

“Whoever said the garlic knots were overcooked and burnt lied so hard. These are absolutely perfect, and whoever said the people that run the place aren’t Italian, NEWS FLASH not all pizza places are run by italians. Relax Karens, thanks for great garlic knots. (i’m fully italian trust)“

“Wonderful“

“The food is always delicious here. I've done take-out and dine-in throughout the years and they never disappoint. Their Grandma Pizza is SO good!! And the staff are always so nice. One time while waiting to pick up our order, the owner let my daughter cut our pizza, showing her the best technique. She has talked about that moment often! Great place with great people!“

“They have GIANT pizzas every night which are awesome and large pizza every Tuesday only $10.99, you can’t cook for much less and in the summer no one wants to they always say 20 minutes but they have it ready in less than half the time Definitely going through the summer every week, after we go back to giant pizzas but they are so big we ask them to double cut“

“Very pleasant surprise! It was an AARP Promotion - free slice and beverage after speaking with an AARP volunteer. Never knew about Rocco's before this invitation to lunch. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our pepperoni slices and bottled iced tea. We were treated just as politely with our free meal as if we reached in our pocket to pay. We will definitely return for lunch/dinner when our travels bring us to New Paltz again!“
