AVOID at all costs! This restaurant used to be great and authentic. But it was sold, as well as its name, to people who now operate a dirty, unsatisfying greasy spoon. They only had one menu for 2 people. The restaurant was empty, except for one other noisy table, and they sat us 2 feet from them. The floor was dirty, cobwebs on the chairs, terrible music playing, the flowers on the table were dead, the staff were sullen and dirty looking (like they had just finished working at a construction site). Not friendly at all. After waiting a half hour for our dinners, were were brought 3 small pieces of bread. They also had trouble providing change for a cash transaction. And the food was not even close to being authentic. Very sad... the original place could not survive the pandemic. And we loved it. But this place now... never going back. Neither should you.

Restaurants on this part of the Catskills have had a busier than normal for the last 18 months so fatigue might be acceptable. That said, I sense they have thrown in the towel post-Labor Day. Too many items on the menu were unavailable. The bread served was sub-par and the smallest portion I've ever had in an Italian restaurant. Both entrees were pretty terrible. My bone-in chicken parmesan was dry and covered with cheese that could have easily been bought ready to serve from a supermarket. The broccoli rabe was also covered with the same cheese and sauteed with little oil or fresh garlic. Normally I would have given 1 star but the waitress tried really hard to make the experience a pleasure. I think they know they could be better.

We picked up takeout from here on recommendation from the staff of the Roxbury Motel, and they did not steer us wrong. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful and of ample portion. Hopefully we can come back and dine in, so we can …
