Thought we were popping into one diner and ended up at this incredible little establishment! Gorgeous views, overly generous portions, and a taste that belongs in a huge city with lines wrapped around the building! Do your tummy a flavor favor and stop in! Also be prepared to take a doggie bag home!

Staying in the area this was our choice on the first night. There were three of us. Our waiter was very nice. We chose sandwiches and ordered a side of garlic bread. It was yummy. They were accommodating to my allergy. My sister and I had chicken Caprese paninis and our mutual friend had a chicken Parm on a round roll. It was absolutely delicious. They open for supper at 5.30pm They also offer a special. We will definitely return next time in area.

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 experience the full dining experience at this quaint and wonderful little gem in the Catskills. We will be back!

We ordered take out and it was excellent. Devoured the Pesto pasta w/ chicken, chicken parm sandwich and meatballs (app). We’re excited to have found our Italian spot in the area.

Delicious food, we had several dishes and all of them were exceptional. The server was not very welcoming, but the order came out quickly. They are cash only, there’s an ATM in the same building.

This is an incredibly cozy restaurant we stopped by while visiting friends in the cat skills. We had lunch here and the food was amazing, not what you would expect from a small town restaurant. I had the sauteed eggplant and smoked trout mascarpone spread crostini which was delicious! The eggplant is especially great! Main course was Linguine Con Gamberi - so flavorful, with just the right amount of kick to it. This chef knows what he is doing! My wife is gluten free and was very excited that they had lots of gluten free options. She had the Rigatoni Alla Norma pasta and I had to dig into her meal as well! The owners were very friendly and recently moved from NYC. They have lots of experience running high end restaurants in the city, which definitely shows in the quality of the food. Definitely recommend this spot as a destination - you won't be disappointed!!

We sat outside for dinner and were so impressed with the pasta, eggplant parmigiana special, and steak, and we will definitely return. Halfway through dinner, a bald eagle flew over the creek and completed the experience. My wife and I love eggplant parmigiana and this was the best we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try the other menu items! I would be very happy to eat such a meal in the Italian countryside, but to have it in the Catskills is a great surprise.

I stayed in Margaritaville on a recent getaway to escape the hustle and bustle and eating at Trattoria was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip. I had eaten at the old location on my previous trip and was eagerly anticipating coming back. Friendly staff, and a chef who clearly cares about his customer's experiences. The shrimp appetizer we had was easily one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The chicken parm was fantastic and all the pasta dishes are incredible. I forgot to take pictures because I was too busy devouring dinner. 10/10 will definitely be back when I return!
