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.“

“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.“

“We have been ordering take out at the New Paltz location for years and always, always have had the best meals ever! We have eaten in the restaurant a few times too, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. But the best is just getting an absolutely tasty meal to eat at home after a busy day. The prices are reasonable and portions are huge! My husband and I highly recommend Pasqule's!“

“I absolutely love it here!! The food is so good it’s almost impossible to find something you don’t like. There is a very kind lady that works at the counter and is always fun to talk to. I will definitely be going here more often. 100% will be recommending this place to all my friends and family.“

“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!“

“Maria and her team are fantastic - amazing - wonderful. She is a consummate professional, easy to communicate with, and provides the most delicious, satisfying food and impeccable service. She helped pull together a custom dinner for 80+ starving rock climbers without skipping a beat. She predicted our hungry behavior better than I could!! Everyone raved about the food (pasta, salad, main dishes, gluten free pasta, cookies = delish!), and we can't wait to come back to New Paltz and work with her again in the future. THANK YOU AGAIN, MARIA! YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Great good and friendly staff“

“There is no way we couldn't give this restaurant a 5 star review! The food fresh and delicious, the staff caring and attentative the atmosphere beautiful worth every dime. Go treat yourself you won't regret it and you will be back again I know we will !“

“We cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding at The Barn at Indian Ridge! From the very beginning, Rick (the owner) was so helpful and always available whenever we had questions or needed guidance. He truly cares about the couples who get married on his property, and it shows. Amber was also incredible, she knew every detail of the venue inside and out and became our day-of coordinator. Thanks to her, the day flowed seamlessly, and we never had to worry about a thing. Her organization and calm presence allowed us to just enjoy every moment. The property itself is absolutely stunning. Our first look photos by the waterfall were breathtaking, and everywhere you turn feels like a perfect backdrop for photos. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the cows, which ended up being such a unique and fun highlight for everyone. The Barn at Indian Ridge offers the perfect mix of rustic charm, natural beauty, and wonderful people who genuinely want your day to be perfect. Choosing this venue was the best decision we made, and we will forever be grateful for the memories we made here.“

“Let me start out by saying that 5 stars is not enough for this place, Diana and Pete are amazing people with such a welcoming aura to them. This was my first time here, and they made me feel like I was a regular and it made me feel very at home. Not to mention the food was to die for, some of the best pizza I have ever had to date. Drinks are amazing might I add, they have amazing tap beers, wine and cider. They also offer lodging in the inn, and in the summer months offer glamping, will 100% be back to try more food!“

We both had espresso and I had a cannoli the food was to die for! Nick out did himself. I couldn’t have gone anywhere else for a better meal service was wonderful atmosphere was good .“

“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.“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“from the I r dinners to pizza ALWAYS VERY GOOD FOOD!!!!! PORTIOB SIZE,SERVICE & FOOD VERY GOOD!!!“

“We had never heard of Paesanos until we moved to Modena. We were happy to find out that the pizza is great, garlic knots are the best, extra crispy wings are amazing and the subs are delicious. Also prices are very reasonable. Only complaint is that they only deliver for cash.“

“Everything !!!! There food is amazing“

“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“
