Had a lovely Saturday night dinner here! The food was spectacular - truly fresh ingredients and…read morehigh quality, worth every cent. We had the squash bread with apple jam and the bone marrow + steak tartare as starters. Both were so good, especially the steak tartare that just tasted so clean and fresh, pairing nicely with the richness of the bone marrow. It came with these little potato slices that were scooped out to provide a perfect vehicle for the marrow/tartare. My partner had the carrot tart tartin, which he loved, and my scallops with morel mushrooms were perfectly cooked, with the hazelnuts providing such a nice texture. He enjoyed his phony negroni (they also had other NA options, including other mocktails, an NA beer, and an NA Riesling) and I really liked my Good Shepherd cocktail, their unique take on a dirty martini. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately. The service was great - attentive and friendly, but it felt like we were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed, even though the place was busy. It is definitely on the pricier side and I would recommend reservations as the place was pretty full, but I would absolutely recommend this spot for a delicious, quality meal in Rhinebeck!

The vibe here is if Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl designed a restaurant. The unairconditioned…read morebathroom looks like an interrogation cell and if you ever wanted to use the toilet while starring at yourself in the mirror this is your place. The hostess was disdainful of our presence. The general ambiance is weird and it's a small loud space. The food was bland. Our server was friendly. But over all a waste of time and money.

Thanks to a friend for the referral to La Deliziosa in the Little Italy section of Poughkeepsie…read more Back in the day, this area was busy and now it's not. We did sit outside after 5 and it got busy as folks drove in and walked up after work. So, for us..I told hubby he didn't need to buy anything because he already had sweets in the hotel room. However once he had a look at the cases, he just had to buy something! His favorite is the lobster tail and cannoli and I had to get the black and white cookie. We sat outside and since I had to be on a call, hubby went in for a strawberry ice. No chocolate until the weekend . A couple of bites of the black and white cookie for me right away. It's not overly make my teeth rattle sweet and the crumb is very much like a cake. I ate the rest after dinner and it quickly had hardened. Hubby LOVED the lobster tail. 5 out of 5. Hubby took a taste of the cannoli and gave it a thumbs up. He enjoyed the water ice more than Ralph's because it wasn't as icy. Local businesses are so important to the local community and it seems that La Deliziosa is holding its own. Regardless let's keep them going!

From mini desserts, cookies, cannolis, cakes, and fresh made italian ices, theres something for everyone. During their holidays, they make the cutest delectable themed treats too. I would highly recommend this place for any and all events and for no occasions at all. Its a small piece of heaven located in the little italy area of Poughkeepsie. A true gem!

This place was a pleasant surprise! It was packed and deservedly so! The cake pieces we ordered…read morewere delicious (carrot cake and banana cake). Yummy and not overwhelmingly sweet which seems to be the trend. But what stood out was their version of a Macchiato I got. It was strong, rich and not milky! It was on the smaller side, but the barista named Lauren, nailed it! She was quite friendly and pleasant as well. The other barista whom I did not catch her name was friendly and very nice. The both of them made for such a nice coffee break as I just had a beer prior. The ambiance was antique and modern with a cool poem stash on the bay window that gave a nice touch of reading pleasure and the seating which was intimate and close. Not a big place but organized well. Lighting was more natural lighting which was really nice. I love great coffee and if you are looking for a nice cup of some and some good cake to go along with it, this is where to go. Thank you for an awesome experience.

Incredible chocolate and coffee shop! I stopped by on a…read moreSaturday afternoon and there were a lot of people enjoying treats inside the shop and picking up some to go. I decided to try some of the different truffles they had, including the Raspberry Jelly, Tahini Lime, PB & J and Passionfruit Vanilla. I also ordered the Mocha Latte. Everything was incredible! The truffles were out of this world good and the flavors were spot on. The latte was also the perfect cross between espresso and hot chocolate. The service was fast and friendly, and the shop is so cute. I highly recommend ordering a drink and enjoying it in the shop!

The reviews are not exaggerating. This is the actual best bakery I've ever been to. We arrived…read morethere like 5 minutes before they closed, and everything looked great so I wound up buying two giant sea salt/chocolate chip cookies, a kitchen sink cookie, a sprinkle cookie, and a small yellow/vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. I regret not taking better photos, but at least I got a quick shot of the delightful cake. It was all absurdly good. I can't get over how fluffy the frosting is and how perfect the cookie textures are. The woman working was also really nice and, despite it being the end of the day, I didn't feel at all rushed or like she just wanted to close up. Here's how much we loved it: My husband and I went there yesterday while on a weekend trip. Today, we had to get back home fast to beat the snowstorm, and we seriously considered just risking it and driving out of our way to go back here. We didn't (safety first, etc) but we've decided to order our wedding cake from this place *and* our wedding favors. Seriously, everyone should go to this place. Everyone deserves this magic in their lives!

I thought the vegan gluten free cookies and magic bar was delicious. Everything looked great. Service was friendly. Overall I'd definitely recommend for treats when in the area!

On my first visit I purchased a slice of the equally delicious coconut and pineapple cheesecake along with a couple of creampuffs. See why I must never live nearby? On my second trip north I managed to stick with creampuffs. They are SO good. Luckily I can easily find a reason to drive north. Be aware they only accept cash.

Chocolate cream pie - flaky, light crust, with a great chocolate filing, almost bordering on dark chocolate - perhaps best chocolate cream pie I've had. Kids had the raspberry chocolate cheesecake which was rich with milder raspberry flavor, topped with a nice chocolate layer. I highly recommend this place - well worth the short drive from the highway, on your way up to the 'Dacks or the Capital Region. Cash Only.

Most recently got gifted some chocolate peeps which absolutely made my day. This is such a perfect store for gifts and sweet treats so I highly recommend stopping in. They have such high quality chocolates of all different flavors and assortments. It's such a gem in the town of Saugerties. I actually haven't gotten the chance to stop in myself so I look forward to doing that one day!

The chocolate here is creative, fabulous and delicious. I'm not sure if the products are made on…read morepremises, but whoever is making them has been around the block quite a few times before. My favorites are the dark chocolate "jelly ring" (although it's not a ring, but rather a cube), and the milk chocolate covered pretzels. Both items are simply off the charts good. They have plenty of options for children and adults alike. There is one huge problem though......After tasting a confectionery treat from here, you'll never want to go back to the commercialized garbage you find in most stores. Get here. Try some. Enjoy tremendously.
