We stopped by Wood Fired AMA Kitchen & Bar after a fun day of apple picking nearby, and it turned out to be a great choice. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they went out of their way to accommodate our large group of eleven, which was much appreciated. I was admittedly a little distracted watching my New York Yankees get mollywhopped by the Blue Jays on TV, so I forgot to snap a picture of the bread strips served with marinara sauce. But they were a pleasant surprise ; warm, soft, and perfect for dipping into that flavorful sauce. For my main dish, I ordered the L'Americano burger. It wasn't the best burger I've ever had, but it was still really enjoyable and satisfying. The fries on the side were classic and hit the spot. All in all, I had a really good time here. Between the friendly service, solid food, and relaxed atmosphere, I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

A wonderful experience. Delicious food. My bolognese pasta was fantastic! The sauce was flavorful and filled with meat. My uncle's spaghetti was ok. The sauce was too sweet for me. I sampled the salad my uncle had ordered and that was wonderful! The greens were good and the lemon dressing was so light and perfect. My aunt had the seafood pasta, and she always raves about it. The desserts were the perfect ending as well. Overall it all delivered well. Next time I'd like to try the pizza. The interior was pretty cool. I loved the lighting, bar area, and black ceiling. The whole ambiance was put together with tall windows and beautiful, simple curtains. The staff was fantastic. They were so friendly and worked hard. If we encountered a problem it was taking care of. Advice: Do not have employees/owners/ staff smoke out front. When we pulled in the same older gentleman was smoking out front, then once while we were eating and then again as we pulled away. We walked in behind him and the smoke smell was very just present. read more

Despite being a Beaconite and able to walk to the one on Main Street, we opt to drive to this location far more frequently. The menu is much larger and more interesting - the pastas are solid. One of my dining compatriots even went way off brand once and had a burger and the review (positive) was surprising! While AMA isn't full on Italophile Italian, it is excellent hybrid Italophile/Italian American. The pizzas are great (be prepared for a liberal dose of garlic, which is never a bad thing in my book.) The staff is attentive and service is good - not rushed, not fussy. It is a big space and comfortable. read more

TERRIBLE! We ordered our appetizer and lunch waiter came over about 8 minutes later and said the pizza guy was stuck in traffic and the boss was on the phone with him. Appetizer brought out (cold and way overcooked) no mention of pizza guy so I asked waiter said no he's not going to be here. Lunch served lukewarm and zero taste. Check came they charge for soda refills ! We questioned the waiter oh yeah they started that in January. $3.00 for a glass of soda filled with ice. When we left owner outside smoking didn't say thank you or sorry about the pizza guy. Will NEVER patronize this establishment again. If they care about customers they should've done something about us not being able to get pizza. After all that's the specialty! And $64 for 1 appetizer and 1 entree 3 sodas! TERRIBLE! Oh and when we walked in they were mopping so the place stunk like Clorox ! We got there right when they opened mopping should've been done last night or way before you open for business read more

AMA was great was also starting to be our go to restaurant when we wanted a for sure good meal. Something changed, service dropped and worst of all the food is no longer being properly prepared. We are so disappointed and unfortunately will not return. read more

Pretty place, nice waiter, very attentive. One star for each. As for the food, overpriced and well worth missing. Pipi caccio Pepe so thick, and tasteless , looked more like a bad Alfredo sauce, not worth it. Special of the night, Pork Loin was the only one dish, more or less good, yet overpriced for the three little slices of pork over a bed of spinach. Gnocchi Sorento also kind of tasteless and heavy sauce. Teramisu desert was just ok. I hate giving such a bad review, but I have to be honest and that's my take. Maybe we should have ordered the Pizzas. read more

Have wanted to try this place -here or Beacon. Have been to Amacord which we loved (pricey-nice for special occasion). Finally went to AMA Fishkill when looking for a new place for pizza. This place is beautiful-in the strip mall by Farm to Table -go to AMA! The staff were all friendly and very attentive. We were only here for pizza, which was delicious (they're basically individual pizzas), but definitely will go back with friends for dinner. The ambience is great -you don't feel like you just walked into a strip mall restaurant. Go try it -you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely delicious everything we ordered was beyond my expectations. When I come to this restaurant it's like I take a trip to Positano Italy the service is amazing. Our favorite restaurant. read more

We were in town visiting our daughter who attends college, and I have to say--AMA was a wonderful experience. Coming from Staten Island, we can be particular about our food, but we absolutely loved this restaurant. The staff was warm, friendly, and very accommodating. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed--we never felt rushed, which is something I really appreciate in a dining experience. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Upon entering, your tastebuds will immediately start watering as you smell the brick oven pizzas coming out fresh from the fire. My husband and I stumbled upon this place during the weekday and it wasn't busy. The staff gave us recommendations and were very rapid in attending our order. The place isn't too huge but very spacious. Very classy decor. For two people, we shared the truffle pizza. I wish they had larger sizes only because I was immediately in love with the way this pizza was baked. It was like no one pizza I ever had; definitely shareable for two people for less than $25. There are a lot of wine options and desserts which we will definitely check out next time. If you are looking for a romantic date night or a friend outing on the budget, definitely come here. read more

Great ambience, feels like your in The Big Apple or Italy. Had a seat at the bar just to watch them cook our pizza in that Beautiful Brick Oven, while my wife and I had wine and an appetizer. Great staff as well. It's been awhile and we're due for another trip over to AMA's and when we do I will update my YELP with all the great foods they offer. Needless to say we were not disappointed at all. read more

The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. It was a great place for a group or date night!

Very nice place. Food was good. We had pizza. It was delish. Service was outstanding especially that the waiter, Tristan pretty much worked the whole restaurant. At least 7 tables at the same time. If you are in a hurry this is not the place. But if you want a nice meal in a pleasant atmosphere you should try it here. We enjoyed it. read more

Food wasn't awful, but it certainly wasn't great, either. Burger with potato croquettes was so burnt I could barely bite through it. At that level of burnt, you should retry at that point instead of serving it. Ravioli were flavorless. Service/staff were amicable and enjoyable :) pizza was good! Will give them that read more

Great food looks delicious and the customers service is A1. I feel like I'm on the NYC with the amazing ambiance that the restaurant has

Ate here this past Friday night. Think this place has an identity crisis bc it presents itself as an Italian/Pizza place but has prices like it's fine dining. Food was average at best & for 2 people was ridiculously expensive @ $180 including tip when we SHARED rice balls app & Caesar salad. She had a fish dish & I the gnocchi (which was burning hot). We each had 2 glasses of wine which totaled $40 right there. Def way too expensive for what is offered. I'd take that money and visit one of the better local places like Aroma Osteria or Villa Negrelli. Won't be returning! read more

Wow. That's all I can say. I'm very happy this restaurant is close to me. Everything I have tried here has been delicious; including the drinks. Every time I've gone the service has been great. The pizzas are so good and fresh. The burrata and octopus are also really good. The drinks are usually strong (which I love lmao). I went yesterday with a friend and tried their pasta "pistachio" for the first time and I am in love. It was sooo good. This place has more of an upscale vibe/atmosphere to it! So if u wanna dress up this is one of the places to do it! read more

AMA Wood Fired Kitchen And Bar - Pistachio pasta - Italian Near Me - Fishkill, New York

The jalapeño pineapple margarita is spicy and has a little kick to it. But not strong enough for your average spicy food and drink lover. Overall a good drink that I had seconds on. Novice spicy experimenter's stay away lol I was told this was too spicy. The service was great from the moment you walk in and are greeted. The staff was very attentive and polite. The ambiance is relaxing, also the staff were dressed appropriately and gives the feel of visiting a professional, clean, and fancy first dating experience. Now to the food the grilled octopus was good I would definitely get that again. The lamb shank was okay the meat was cooked good but honestly it lacked taste... the risotto was good but I would probably not get the lamb shank again. My date had the chicken parmigiana which she said was good but didn't like how much sauce was on it also that it could use some salt. Overall I'm glad I finally tried this place out and do intend on visiting again and trying the pizza. read more

New pizza/pasta restaurant with fresh decor and great bread. We were greeted by a polite server who sat us immediately. They gave us a basket of bread to start. I believe it was their pizza dough baked with no toppings. It was addicting with their olive oil and we had to ask for a second basket. Their Cacio E Pepe pasta was seasoned with fresh pepper. It was delightfully creamy and the pasta itself was thick and filling. They definitely excel in pizzas- their Pesto & Burrata pizza was amazing. The burrata was melty, the pesto was strong, the cherry tomatoes were a perfect size and refreshing, and to top it off, the prosciutto slices added a nice bit of salt and meatiness. In terms of decor, they could go for a cozier Italian atmosphere to match their food, rather than a cold French bistro vibe but I would definitely come back for their breads! read more

Delicious homemade pastas, pizzas, entrees, and desserts. Their burgers are always excellent as well. The place is clean, well laid out, and stylish. Very friendly staff as well. Would highly recommend for an authentic Italian meal in the Fishkill / Wappingers area. read more

I've driven by this place many times and never stopped in because I assumed it was another pizza place. I was wrong! I heard so many good things about it, and we were looking for a place to eat that we hadn't tried, so we headed over. As soon as I walked in, we were greeted by lots of friendly faces. The decor is beautiful inside and not "another pizza place" but a beautiful restaurant with fantastic service and excellent food! Our waiter, Jorge, was a gem. He made the experience so special that we can't wait to go back! We ended up having the specials and started with a delicious soup with this yummy bread on top. And speaking of bread, the one they put on the table was SO good; I could have sat there just eating that! I imagine the pizza they make is probably on this yummy bread, so I will be back to try one! I had a pesto risotto with shrimp for my entree, and my husband had a pork dish. Both were flavorful and beautifully presented. The drink specials were terrific too! I was so full on that wonderful bread that I took home my entree and dessert, a fantastic chocolate mousse cake. Light and perfect! read more

My husband and I just left. We arrived a little past 6pm. We didn't see a servers for the first 20 mins. Then we were able to order drinks which took another 40. We had three tables arrive after us and all 3 finished before our entrees were finally delivered. My husband's dinner was delivered under cooked. In over 2 hours we left hungry and annoyed. The manager or owner didn't bother stopping by when we voiced our frustration and complaint. We had a party of 20 here a few weeks ago and we were all served and done in the same time. Not sure what's going on but we will not be returning. Overall upsetting and disappointing. read more

Visited this place during the summer season after a hike. I can say, I have had the best pizza ever. The crust was so good. I could have eaten 2-3 pizzas in a go if I had that appetite. I wanted to have some sweet drink and the they customized the mojito. And the final course, chocolava cake. Even though I did not have the space left in my stomach, I ate the whole cake. It was soo delicious. I would love to revisit this place. read more

Came here for the first time with family as a group of 6, the day after Christmas for dinner. Most of us got pizza and one got salmon. They were all delicious. We also got a bottle of wine for the table and desserts in the end. Everything was very good and it was a nice environment. Waiter was great and the prices were very reasonable. Great experience! read more

Totally mismanaged.

Disappointed to say the least. However, great great restaurant for takeout! read more

Great service. Yummy food. Tried appetizer, pasta, wine and martinis and dessert. Sat a the bar on a Saturday night after 8p..

Excellent food and ambiance! Fantastic brunch. Great place for anyone visiting the area.

Delicious, impressive, and lovey sum up my experience at AMA Wood Fired Kitchen. Dined here on 7/7/2020 for an early dinner and we sat at the bar. Although I mostly focus on the food when both choosing and reviewing restaurants, I was so highly impressed by both the ambiance and service I have to mention it. Our bartender was perfectly attentive , informative , and pleasant. The bar was beautiful, well spaced out (covid19) and the view of both the wood fire oven and kitchen gave it that special ambiance. We ordered cocktails to start and my strawberry basil Moscow muel was very well made. Now for the important part: the FOOD. Everything we ordered was creative, fresh, and delicious. Their website claims that most of their ingredients are sourced from Naples Italy, and as someone who is extremely picky when it comes to Italian food they certainly seemed to deliver on that statement. We ordered the "Maialino Tonnato" appetizer, the Prosciutto & Rucola pizza, and the "Spaghetti Granchio" Primi Maialino Tonnato--a thinly sliced pork tenderloin with "tuna sauce". The meat melted in my mouth and the sauce (made of mayo, capers, lemon, and olive oil) complemented it perfectly adding some brightness without overpowering the flavor of the meat itself. Highly recommend for a light yet unique appetizer. Pizza--Can't really go too wrong with a pizza topped with prosciutto, arugula, and mozzarella. Except when the pizza itself is just not a good pizza, which is usually the result of bad dough/crust and bad sauce. Thankfully that was not the case here!! This dish was simple but perfectly executed, dough just the right thickness and crispy without being over done and the tomato sauce tasted as any good sauce should. Ingredients were fresh: it was hard to stop eating it as to not fill up before the main dish! Spaghetti Granchio-- We has a hard time deciding on which pasta dish to try, but ended up going with this one consisting of crabmeat, olive oil, onion, brandy, tomato, and crushed red pepper. I asked to have the red pepper on the side as I can not handle spice very well but my dad loves it. The spaghetti came out beautifully presented and cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was creamy and smooth, and most impressively did not overpower the flavor of the crab. There was no need to even add any Parmesan cheese or salt as I usually do to pasta dishes! Overall I have nothing negative to say about my experience at this establishment and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great foodie spot in the area. read more

Had a delicious pizza on the dog friendly patio last night. Excellent service, fresh ingredients, and a nice drink menu.

Sigh. I wish I could provide a 5-star review and say I love this place, but I simply cannot. I've dined here twice over the past two months and love the ambiance, but that is the only thing I can say was enjoyable. The first experience I had a special of the day which was focaccia. One component was truffle oil which you could sense, but they definitely used a very minimal amount for it being the feature of the dish. I also ordered cacio e pepe, which is not on many local menus and as someone who has lived in Italy I am always excited to see it on a menu around the 845. It was, well, very pepper-y, but tolerable. Cacio e pepe is usually strong, but it was a bit overhanded with the pepper. I also ordered a cocktail [and I never met a cocktail that I didn't like], but there was something off-setting about it. Not terrible, but not great. My main issue with this first visit was the overall vibe. The waiter was kind and educated on the menu, but there was another woman present who was clearly not a waitress, but maybe a manager? There was also another worker around the bar area. I was there during lunch time and it was completely empty. There were a few moments where I caught the woman and this worker near the bar whispering and looking over at my table. Of course not being able to hear I cannot confirm if what they were saying was in bad spirits or not. It just was not a comfortable feeling to see two people eyeing you and then slightly giggling. I am not sure what the issue could have been as it was just my mother and I dining, but it made us feel unsettled. Now onto the second visit. We came again with another friend to give the place another go. The same "chuckling" manager from last time was there and a different waitress. I gave the cacio e pepe another go and this time it had even MORE pepper. Oh my goodness it was spicy and burning my mouth because of the amount of pepper. Like an insane amount of pepper and I love pepper. It was essentially 20% cacio and 80% pepe. Definitely not like Italy. As if that wasn't enough, we sat at a table with a perfect view of the kitchen. With that being said, the chef was staring at me the whole time. At first I was unfazed and figured he was just glancing around, but after awhile it just became overly creepy where every time I looked over he was just staring. I found it so disrespectful and uncomfortable. There's a big difference between casually and naturally looking at someone versus giving predator vibes. Maybe that explains all the pepper in the food. I doubt you can cook properly when your eyes are fixated on someone for majority of the time. I am always holding small events and do a bit of influencer work, so I love finding great places in the area and usually have little to no complaints, but I was truly disappointed both times. It's one of the few modern looking restaurants in the area, but the food and hospitality is not up to par. read more

We are local-ish and came across AMA after a quick yelp search for something new. We were greeted by a very friendly Jens upon entering. The ambiance is chic but comfortable and the menu is large enough to accommodate but not be overwhelming. We were given delicious bread sticks and dip while we ordered our drinks and the ordered a margherita pizza. We realized we would be a last-minute 4-top and Jens and our waitress Ashley handled it without a pause and held our entrees. The pizza was good, probably a 6.5/10. The crust was the best part but the sauce could have used a little oomph. Next time we would order a specialty pie for sure. Once our friends arrived we all ordered different entrees: the salmon, the Lebanese burger, pork medallions and Scoglio. Everything was brought out at once and everyone raved about their meals. Despite the full bellies we were promised that the dessert donut was delicious and we weren't disappointed but the chocolate soufflé really stole the show. I would however pass on the espresso as it is guaranteed to keep you up for a week or more. Also, shout out the Darlene for the great drinks and banter. The whole staff enhanced the experience which is something we- as self-proclaimed foodies- look for in a great restaurant. Thank you to Ashley, Jens and Darlene for making us feel at home!! read more

I've been looking for a great wood fired brick oven pizza in the Mid Hudson Valley for a while now and I think I've finally found my spot. The Margherita was excellent!

Went for dinner with friends tonight', the waitress was very nice, unfortunately the food was below standard. Three of us had the special, red snapper, the fish was overcooked, dry and had no taste. The other person had the eggplant parm and it was not good. Overpriced and poor food, never going back. read more

I had no idea this place opened up in Fishkill last August! The atmosphere was relaxing, and the ambience was really relaxing and modern. For drinks, we got a bottle of wine- Californian Cabernet. For appetizer we got the eggplant and it was delicious. Essentially, it was eggplant Parm. Very flavorful. We got the pesto pizza and the margarita pizza, and both were flavorful. I wish the pizza was a tad bit hotter, but overall taste was great. We wanted to dip the pizza in something, so I ordered vodka sauce on the side (to dip the pizza in) and it was out of this world. Last was my favorite part of the meal, the tiramisu! It was so delicious, very fresh, not too sweet, and wasn't too soaked. The staff was kind and attentive. Overall, a great experience. read more
