Cosimo's is always amazing - Everything on the menu is great! During the Covid stay at home orders we ordered from here a bunch of times and I was so thoroughly impressed. It's like they went above and beyond to make sure that their take-out food was even better than usual. So looking forward to getting back to the restaurant as things continue to open up! read more

We got there early ahead of the rush and was pleasantly surprised to get right in. Looks and feels like a true Italian family place. The waitress was very pleasant and knew the menu so it made it easy. The pizza, a small one was one of the best I ever had. We ordered the chicken parm and honestly I like a thinner cutlet but this was really very tender. We were going to skip dessert but opted on the cannoli and a creme broulet. We walked out stuffed and happy. My only comment is, geeze they bring the food out fast. But even with that we left with a warm thankyou and goodbye by the Mgr and the hostess. Well worth my trip read more

My wife and I are regulars at Cosimo's in Woodbury. Rarely if ever have we had a bad meal or experience there. And yes consistency is the mark of a great restaurant or chain. Just ask McDonald's. Regrettably Cosimo's in Newburgh, at least on this occasion, fell far short. Especially the kitchen. An example. The chicken francese at Woodbury is an elegant two piece cutlet presented beautifully and seasoned nicely. At Newburgh it was one thick hunk of almost cooked through chicken breast. Not very appetizing and zero finesse. That line should have been my entire review. read more

Enjoyed dinner here with some colleagues recently. Had a little bit of difficulty finding the entrance - it's all the way around the restaurant and kind of in the back compared to the rest of the strip mall. Place was packed on a Tuesday night and doing a booming take out business as well. Luckily my colleague had made a reservation for us because I was hungry. Service was very friendly; what they lacked in efficiency they made up for in hospitality. I had the Quattro Stagioni pizza. It's supposed to have something different on each quarter; in this case ham, mushrooms, olives, and artichokes. The waiter explained that to me and asked me if I wanted it mixed. I replied that I want it traditionally made but the fact that he asked the question makes me think that some number of people must send it back because they didn't read the menu. Crust was crispy with just the right about of salt. Sauce and toppings were good and plentiful. I would have preferred it cut into 8 pieces, but that was easily done with my knife. I ate half of it in the restaurant and took the rest home. Was going to eat the rest for breakfast but the box wouldn't fit in the mini fridge in my room so I was forced to eat it when I got back to the hotel. read more

The food was good . I would say my strip steak was quite big. However we felt very rushed. My husband and I were on a little date with a much appreciated gift certificate at 3:15 in the afternoon, just wasn't very personal and felt awkward we were sitting so close to other people we couldn't really talk. The hostess and our waiter were very nice . read more

Big flavored pizza. Fresh ingredients. Busy place. Competent and pleasant wait staff. Not cheap, but in their case, you really get your money's worth. read more

I came in here for the pizza. I'm a sucker for brick oven pizza, and had been wanting to try this place. It wasn't quite what I had expected. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it was not what I expected from a place like this. I ordered a sausage, pepperoni and onion pizza. The sauce was very watery, which made the center of the pizza more like a soup. It was not possible to eat a slice of this pizza like you'd eat a slice of normal pizza. No matter what you did to pick it up, the crust would droop down like a wet rag, and all the sauce, cheese and toppings would fall in a puddle on my plate. I finally managed some kind of trick with the fork, and was able to eat it somewhat like a normal pizza, but it was still messy. The pizza tasted good. It was a little strong on the basil, but otherwise the taste was good, it was just the liquid consistency that was a downer. Once I got more to the perimeter of the pizza, it was delicious, and the crust acted like a pizza crust should act, supporting the toppings and all. Service was excellent once we were seated. read more

Cosimo's On Union - Sausage, pepperoni, caramelized onion pizza - Pizza Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. Food is consistently good, and service is always excellent. It's a friendly and fun atmosphere. I do not, as a rule - take the reviews for restaurants or business establishments under consideration before trying them out. I prefer to explore and experience for myself, before making a firm judgement. This stems from the idea that it may be an off night for a "server" or "chef"... So I like to give it a chance a few times, and then base my experience from that. When I read reviews that refer to staff members as "brain dead" or inattentive; and food as "greasy" by people who claim to be "fellow Yelpers" .. ( what does that really mean?) I have to laugh...and wonder about that person's attitude and disposition. Grain of salt time... Therefore, having dined many times at Cosimos's on Union, and enjoyed the service, staff and dining fare- I can say without hesitation that it is a truly wonderful restaurant with wonderful service. I highly recommend it. Especially, Becca - she is a delightful server. read more

Ordered via DoorDash. Blackened Steak Salad is pathetic. So sorry to have ordered this. Everyone else had a great meal but as you can see by the photo the salad had an over-cooked disagreeable crusty brown end piece of some unidentifiable brown meat. Ugh. Never again. read more

In town on a quick business trip and wanted some Italian food since I am in NY. Searched Yelp and the reviews were just ok but this place was close and had decent reviews. I sat at the bar and took the order to go. They have some decent wines by the glass. I had a Super Tuscan that was delish while I waited for my food. The place was like Cheers. Everyone knew each other, except me. The bartender was great! She was taking care of everyone and giving back attitude when needed in a nice NY way. I ordered a custom pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. I also ordered the pesto chicken pasta because that's how I roll. Wow! Both were fantastic! But the pizza was so good! I love pizza with good sauce and they nailed it. You could taste the tomatoes and garlic. And the mushrooms! Yum! The pesto chicken was delish too! The pesto was a little light and that's how I like it with decent pasta. Great food and a great experience! I will definitely be back the next time I am in town. Cheers! read more

I don't know if it was me, but the bartender when I went in "Chris" was extremely standoffish. To the point where I felt uncomfortable even asking her for a drink. I noticed that the locals were all taken care of and bantered with, but she actively avoided my gaze and when I asked for things, she turned away like she didn't hear. Other patrons noticed too - giving me sympathetic looks. One time and the one time was too much. Food, however was actually wonderful. read more

My wife and I were out shopping on Thursday in Newburgh and we stopped at Cosimo's on Union for the first time for lunch and our server Stefanie was amazing ! Her food and wine suggestions were on point and she was so sweet and friendly. We will definitely come back again because of her. read more

The SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO supplies an ample helping of sauteed Shrimp, Calamari, Clams, Pappardelle Pasta (thick 1/2" noodle), in a Fiery Plum Tomato Sauce. The shrimp and calamari were tender and not over cooked. The fresh basil was excellent way to add that "garden" taste. read more

I was very hesitant to eat here for dinner because I thought it was a typical chain restaurant...I was wrong! The food was delicious.

worst service. Sat there 20 minutes, no service, not even drinks. meanwhile table next us ordered, got food and 2nd round of drinks... terrible experience read more

Very nice decor, free parking, and the staff is friendly. When crowded, the seating process with text messages is efficient. Outdoor seating is comfortable. Food is very good, and reasonably priced. Swordfish is good, and so is the chicken francaise. read more

Food and service is always great! Last year, we had a big party for a birthday in their wine room. The service we received was terrific. We didn't have to wait long for food or drinks. They really made sure that our experience was great. read more

In town for a baseball tourney and wanted Italian. Their flatbread pizzas sounded appealing and didn't disappoint. Cool to see the wood oven working when we walked in. Attentive staff welcomed us and we had called ahead so we had a table in 5 minutes. Our server Angelina was superb From start to finish the food was delicious and servings were just right!!! Calamari was spot on. Gently fried and flavorful. I enjoyed the cucumber cocktail... so refreshing on this hot day. The boys split a spicy New York flatbread and I enjoyed their sea bass special with a scrumptious house salad ( dressing on point!). Then... creme brûlée.... lit at the table and so amazing! Start to finish a great meal. Only complaint... a bit noisy but.. the foods good it's going to be busy! read more

See all

Electric vehicle owner's paradise. The spots for electric vehicles are borderline obnoxious. They would be better served as car side spots. The food is solid. read more

Wish I could give Cosimo's the 5 stars it deserves but the seating we were given was appalling. Given the only table for two, you think would be a delight, but what a nightmare. Located at the prep and silverware station with a short lattice fence in your face. Waitstaff talking loudly inches away, wrapping silverware clashing next to your face, we could barely hold a conversation without trying to overtalk the waitresses and trainer with the new employee. A simple glass or solid barrier to avoid hearing and seeing this spectacle would have made our romantic dinner out as special as we had hoped for. Not to be ....... wish I had insisted on being placed in different seating before our meals came out as there were only 2 other tables occupied. read more

The food here rates 4.5 stars, but the service takes it down a notch. Overall this is a great restaurant worthy of a return visit. They do 'call ahead' seating. Despite calling ahead and arrived at the agreed upon time, we stood waiting for 20 minutes to get a table. This was a bad start and is poor service for such a longstanding restaurant. Once seated, we were happy with our table. The waitstaff was overworked. I couldn't tell, but it appeared that our server had over 10 tables. We ordered a bottle of wine to start and waited over 15 minutes for it to arrive. Service continued to be slow throughout the night. Again, this place is stretching their servers thin most likely so the owners can keep payroll costs low. Who knows, maybe a server was out sick. The menu is expansive and diverse. It was a hard choice. Everyone at our table was happy with their choices. The portabella ravioli dish was the winner! We will return. However, we will try to come on a week night so we can avoid the wait and the slow service. read more

This past Saturday evening, my husand and I joined two other couples for dinner. We had made reservations for 6 persons and our table was ready and waiting on time. We found the service to be pretty good. The restaurant was really busy. Generally, they do a good business and are usually packed on the weekend nights. I've dined here before with my husband on two separate occasions for dinner, and then once I attended a private party at Cosimo's during a holiday celebration that was hosted by my husband's company. I have always been satisfied with Cosimos on Union. NOT the one in Poughkeepsie- a VERY rude, young, snippy waitress attended (if that's what you call it) to our party of four last time in Poughkeepsie. I WON'T ever go there again!! BUT, the one in Newburgh is managed much more efficiently and the staff tends to be more professional while dealing with the diners. Most in our party either ordered soup (Italian Wedding or Pasta e. fagioli) or Ceasar salads for appetizers (got mine with anchovies- yum!!) but one of our friends ordered the fried calamari, which I sampled and found to be excellent! We all enjoyed our appetizers. Dinners varied from various wood-fired pizzas, the Spicy Chicken Fusilli, The Chicken Stack and the Slow Roasted Pork. Everyone in our party, including myself, really enjoyed their main dish. My Broccoli (pizza) Pie was absolutely delicious, with the roasted garlic cloves on top...Mmmmm. The ambiance is very nice - kind of high-end and the cocktails are really great, also. There are lots of great alcohol-based concoctions to be had by the very thirsty and adventureous!! Thumbs up for Cosimos on Union (but NOT the one in Poughkeepsie!) read more

How do I start....... A group of 3 walked in, got a table for 4 because we had another friend joining us later..... The waitress walks up asks us what we want to drink and then disappears!!!!! she comes back LATER and then says will you be waiting for your fourth or are you going to order..... Not knowing that was our plan all along, we know what time they close and we knew what our friend wanted to order... So we placed the order for all 4 of us..... The waitress does not come back. bus boy gives us our food....... I had to drink the 4th parties water because I couldn't find anyone to ask for more. Finally she comes back I, yes, I had to ask her for the dessert Menu- she didn't offer. I almost didn't want to order because of her attitude but I really wanted dessert. My first time there and its such a shame to have an experience so cold. I don't know if she was having a bad day or because it was close to closing, But the only thing that stopped this place from getting a 2 was for the fact that the food was actually pretty tasty- not perfect but good. Its a shame the food choices are limited around here- which probably means I may end up going back there even if not by choice..... Ill try to order to go! read more

Fantastic Food, service and atmosphere. We stopped in on a whim for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. It's was not crowded at all we were seated immediately and our waiter was with us moments later. He had several tables but was attentive and courteous. We each got a pizza - the grilled chicken pizza with artichoke spinach and olives was superb and the stationing- another great choice. We took half of each "personal" size pizza home and the leftovers were gone within hours. We were so pleased and will be back! Couldn't have been more pleased. read more

Wood fired pizza was good but not great. The crust was fantastic and really made an impression. This is definitely more of a being seen there type of place. read more

This very decent restaurant is part of a chain that has locations in Middletown and Poughkeepsie. I've reviewed the Middletown location and I have to say that the Newburgh location is not only much nicer but serves better food. Cosimo's on Union is more of an adult/date night sort of restaurant than its sister location in Middletown, which is more of a families-with-kids joint. Cosimo's on Union is a casual place, but it exudes a nice ambiance and a grown-up feel. I've eaten at this restaurant several times and have always enjoyed myself. The staff is attentive, the service is prompt, and the menu is a solid selection of tasty, if not necessarily authentic, Italian favorites. I always order the sun-dried tomatoes ala vodka, and each and every time I've gotten this dish it has been well-prepared and flavorful. The one time I deviated from this selection was when I ordered the gnocchi. The gnocchi here was quite filling, although I prefer the sun-dried tomatoes ala vodka - the sauce is more interesting and adventurous. If the weather is nice then I recommend sitting outside. The outdoor seating features an arbor strung with fake grapes that look realistic and surprisingly non-cheesy. You aren't overwhelmed by traffic noise from Route 300 either, and as twilight comes on the waiters bring around small votive candles to each table. It can get a bit buggy once the sun goes down, but all in all the outdoor dining option is nice. I do recommend Cosimo's on Union. It's a nice casual restaurant where you can have a good meal with someone special, and that's always a good thing. read more

I didn't expect this place to be as upscale as it was but as I pulled in and saw Tesla charging stations I should've figured it out. Walking in I almost felt like I should've dressed nicer (don't get me wrong, I was in clean jeans and a nice causal button up shirt) but we were welcomed right in and felt comfortable. You pass the kitchen on the way in featuring the wood fire pizza oven. I had the 4 cheese calzone and it was huge! It was very tasty and since I also got a house side salad I took half of it home for lunch tomorrow. They had large wine list and I had the house Cabernet sauvignon which I liked. Prices were not outrageous. Three meals and one glass of wine cost me $54 (not including tip). I thought it was going to be more. If I'm in the area I will definitely try it again. Enjoy! read more

I really like this restaurant. Have been going to Middletown and Newburgh location with family and friends for many years. I would give it 5 stars but went yesterday to Newburgh and was disappointed. They revised their menu. I only had one day left in town and I insisted I had to go there for dinner. Our favorite appetizer was the crispy polenta which, to my dismay, was dropped from the menu. Also, what did you do to the fusilli? They are much bigger and IMO, no thank you. I still say it's a great restaurant but I won't rush to go next time I'm in town. read more

This restaurant in my humble opinion is the most consistantly excellent dining establishments in orange county. The staff is truely concerned about your full satisfaction. The food is aways solid, a good value. A special menu that includes local produce and products from small local farms and artisans. The skirt steak and the tuscan rib eye are by far the best steaks in the area, sorry neil. My family as well as myself make Cosimnos on Union our regular restaurant. Dining here at least twice a week. We are on a middle class income and find good value here. We get busy with the kids and school stuff and eating out allows us time to relax and catch up on whats going on with each other in a positive atmostphere with great food and people. We even do homework or test review there, its like home to us. Cosimo, im sure is proud!! read more

Had a great dinner here last night. Surprised there were so many tesla charging stations when we 1st pulled up. Seems like a big waste of space, 1 or 2 I can understand but there's like 5?? It's well designed and intimate inside and we received a warm welcome upon entering. The food was excellent. Not a huge fan of the bread or oil that was given at 1st though. They also have Pepsi products and I'm a Coke guy myself. That may seem like nitpicking but you just don't understand lol. Calamari and motzarella sticks were really good as a starter. I had a seafood pasta in a wine sauce that was DELICIOUS. It had shrimp, clams, and calamari on top of thick noodles. The service was a little off but she did mention it's been a long day. Overall it was a good experience and I'll return when back in NY! read more

Cosimos is a pretty decent Italian restaurant with multiple locations in the Poughkeepsie/Newburgh area. Admittedly the only times I've been here have been for work related dinner meetings. They typically have us sit downstairs in a larger meeting room with a projector screen for PowerPoint presentations. Service has always been excellent and I have no complaints about that. The food itself is average at best. We are usually presented with a limited menu and on this occasion I opted for a pork dish with a side of spinach and vegetables. It definitely lacked some flavor and could have been spiced up a little or covered with some sort of sauce or glaze. I'm a bigger fan of their appetizers (calamari, portobello mushrooms, etc). In terms of overall quality, there are far better options locally but Cosimos is still worth a try. There's been nothing bad about it, just not a place I'd go to on my own Coolest thing is that they have Tesla power stations outside of the restaurant in the parking lot. Not sure why they chose there of all places to place them, but if I get a Tesla one day I will know where to go read more

Cosimo's On Union - Private downstairs meeting room - Pizza Near Me - Newburgh, New York

It's a 4* review, but they get a bonus star for Tesla parking. Yes, I'm serious. The more I can do to encourage more chargers, the better! Very much in line with e.g. Bertucci's but a more home-made feel, semi-chain. Service well above normal: highly welcoming all round, perfect level of attention, glasses rapidly refilled, unblemished. First visit, so only a couple of food items, but I liked that their pizza was heterogenous: scattered clumps of sauce rather than a thin layer; high quality toppings. The prosciutto flatbread was especially tasty and fresh. Very solid; very glad to have such a place to stop off while charging. read more
