Fino - Croton On Hudson

The best chicken parmigiana we’ve ever had! The waitstaff were fantastic, and the mixed drinks were excellent. We will definitely be coming back!

The food at this restaurant is outstanding, and the staff is extremely friendly! The ambiance is very relaxing, and our meals were served quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

The crab cakes were almost entirely made of bread crumbs, with only a tiny fraction of actual crab meat, and they lacked flavor. Additionally, the portions of pasta have been reduced significantly!

First and foremost, it was uncomfortably warm and humid during our entire dinner. I’d never actually sweated like that in a restaurant before. Only as we were leaving did someone plug in a wall air conditioner, but it was too late for us. Once we were seated, it took about ten minutes before we even got menus—in fact the bread came before the menus did. The decor was relatively non-existent, and consisted of framed reviews of the restaurant and multiple huge Christmas present-type boxes with bows in between the framed reviews (I guess the holidays last into the summer at Fino). As far as the food, my wife’s white wine was barely chilled and just a bit below room temperature. Our entrees were mediocre at best, and way overpriced for what we got (my wife’s shrimp scampi had very few shrimps). The pasta in her dish was gluten free, and it was the worst I’d ever tasted. Gluten-free pasta we make at home out of a box is way better than what Fino serves (so be warned). Each of our entrees cost over $30, and for that kind of money you should expect a decent meal, as well as a decent portion of food. I do give good marks to the salads and grilled calamari, but that’s not nearly enough to get us to go back there ever again. For us, it literally is fino!

This place is absolutely fantastic and I have been at least 8 times over the last 3 months. I am so particular when it comes to Italian food, especially sauce. I really rarely order it at Italian restaurants, but because I have had great meals here, I decided to try. Unreal....I literally have had nothing bad here, nothing. Add to it, the staff and owners are so nice. They know how to run a restaurant. It may be my favorite Italian restaurant ever and I am 53. I will always go here , even if I move out of Croton. A true gem!
