Party of 4 adults and a child under 13 for dinner. We were greeted, seated and offered beverages as expected. We then sat unattended for 45 minutes. Wanting another drink but no one came. Water glasses empty but no one came. No bread on the table... Finally the food arrives and it is fantastic. Truly above average and almost worth $32 for a plate of macaroni. Still no one checked in or asked about our drinks. Yet, the place was empty except for 3 other tables. When the $220 bill came, it included A 20% GRATUITY OF $36!! I tip, I tip 20% and more when the service is great. THE SERVICE WAS ABYSMAL! AND I WAS FORCED TO PAY A 20% TIP BECAUSE WE WERE A PARTY OVER 4 PEOPLE (our fifth being an 11 year old)! I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!
Update - we were craving the food. We caved and decided to go again, knowing the service was bad but willing to deal with it because the food is so good. We weren't disappointed. The food takes time because it is prepared to order. This time, the restaurant was full and the service was very good. I've upped my stars but so not approved of the added gratuity for parties larger than four. Maybe double that.

What a special find. Delightful Italian restaurant with amazing food and wonderful service. Our lunch was fabulous and the meatballs appetizer was like no other meatball preparation I have ever been served - Polpette Al Caccio E Pepe - deliziosa!
The location is wonderful with beautiful water views. We will be back

8/28/24 Frutti di Mare was awful. Very minimal amount of fruit of the sea in this dish, could only find shrimp with a heavy doughy gnocchi noodle. My husband and I often order Frutti di Mare in restaurants and this was totally unlike any other restaurant. Very very pricy for this dish that was mostly gnocchi noodle. Very disappointing. Red wine was terrible. No bread. There were tiny gnats flying around table.

We came to this place after a good walk for some affogato and it was delightful and the view was breathtaking and beautiful!!! We enjoy our coffee and cheesecake!!! You have to come for yours
What a hidden gem this place is! The food is incredible, freshly made, and not overly seasoned. All the food is prepped in the kitchen that is visible from the dining area. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. The service is incredible as well. We feel at home here. We come with our 11 month old and they are always so accommodating. I highly recommend this place to anyone. It has a beautiful outdoor area as well. I’ve tried some of the other restaurants on the water and they are hit or miss this place is solid every time. Thank you :)!
Taste of food was excellent however for the price per entre was not worth it. No salad or bread. The Gnocci was excellent but next to no seafood in the dish. One or two small shrimp, two tiny pieces of lobster and a few strings of shredded crab meat.

Right from the start, this was a great experience. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to fit us in at a table on the patio. The food was great, the atmosphere was great, the servers and management were great. We will definitely be back.

Newburgh is the halfway meeting point for our family, so we have tried most waterfront restaurants... but this one wins! Hands down - the best experience. We had a lovely time with delicious food and excellent service. The menu is varied, and all the plates are made with love and care. If you want a fine dining experience with high-end, authentic Italian food, make your reservation today! So great. We can't wait to go back.
