Milanese - Poughkeepsie

If you're familiar with places like Villa Masconi in Greenwich Village or Mama Lombardi's on Long Island, you'll love this. Very authentic Italian diaspora vibe. Stuffed sole was fabulous. Do it!

Excellent food, beverages, service, and atmosphere. Visiting from out-of-town and picked Milanese from a list provided by our hotel. We were delightfully surprised!

Always an exceptional meal from this family run Italian restaurant in the heart of Poughkeepsie. Calamari was tender and crispy. Pasta was perfect. Steak and shrimp scampi was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Garlic bread is hands down the best around! Not to mention on top of This the service was impeccable. Gianna really sets the bar to new levels from humor to attentiveness I don’t know if anyone could ever match her. Add in that if you’re lucky the family patriarch does table side magic for the kids. Our kids are mesmerized and baffled and always ask to go back! Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed!

We had the feeling that this restaurant was once a great place to dine but it now has little competition and looks kinda run down from the exterior. The food and service was only adequate.

I just came from here and I'm not happy. I attended a banquet here tonight for which they were only serving chicken parm (and a side salad that consisted of a few greens and one cherry tomato . I cannot eat chicken parm for health reasons, so I called ahead late this afternoon to make sure I could order off of the menu or have a salad made with grilled chicken. The very confused sounding woman who answered (maybe don't let her answer the phone anymore? said yes, I could. Ok, great! I get to the restaurant and the first thing I do is talk to the host to remind them that I will be ordering off of the menu. Ok, yes. No problem. After 30 minutes without a waiter, I start to wonder what's going on, but I figure they are going to take drink orders first, right? Wrong. 45 minutes after we arrive, they start bringing chicken parm to all of the tables. So, no drink orders and no menu. I'm not one to sit and watch other people eat while my stomach is growling, and I'd waited long enough already, so I left. And I will never go here again.
