Walked into Rossi & Sons after an event at Marist University earlier in the day. Had a Marist…read morealumni tell me I need to go to Rossi & Sons. I was told to order the #4 or the Vodka Chicken Parm hero. Ended up walking out with over $350 worth of food because I was so blown away. I'm not really sure where to begin: first of all as an Italian, walking into the restaurant already felt like home. I was blown away from the fresh made pasta's, various sauces I could take home, Arancini's (rice balls), and then how could I say no to the desserts. I was in heaven. I had a great conversation with the fabulous ladies behind the counter. I'm pretty sure everyone behind me picking up orders were like "can this guy leave already?". But I just had to continue chatting with everyone. The ladies helped me get everything from around the store that my heart desired. And then I remembered, I was supposed to come in and get a sandwhich. They showed me the screens mounted on the walls which clearly had a custom ordering template built out from the store with all the modification elements to add/remove toppings as needed. Blown away again. I'm a technology salesperson and that part hit a different satisfaction for me as they had this down - and quite honestly the Italian market/pork store is not where I'm expected the highest level of technology lol. Just blown away. Lastly, I told them about my fiancée and how her family owns DelFiore's pork store down on Long Island. At that point they grabbed Fabio, the owner, and we had an amazing conversation as I learned he knew exactly what DelFiore's was and even offered to help give us advice if we ever want to get into the family business. I was supposed to go in and get a rocking $25-$30 sandwhich and I walked out with $350 worth of food because I was being assisted by some of the nicest people I've ever met in the food industry. Just the most genuine caring people. Mind you, I had to schlep all of this back to Brooklyn NY in a Suburu Outback rental. And if you are wondering if everything stayed in the trunk on that drive back, fughetaboutit. I'm popping arancini's like candy on the Taconic home (no small feet with those turns). These people are in the food business because they care about making people's days and giving them the best possible food. Protect these people at all costs. This is a Mecca for quality Italian provisions. I'll be grabbing my fiancée and heading back up so we can continue chatting with everyone and not holding the lines up. 11/10 experience I'm blown away if you couldn't already tell. Just take my money, I can't pay enough for such enjoyable days. That drive home sucked at rush hour, but they all made it worth it. I like to think I gave them all a little enjoyment as well :).

While exploring the Hudson Valley and prepping for a full day of walking and hiking, I was on the…read morehunt for a truly authentic Italian sandwich spot--something local, no frills, just real. This place came recommended by the host at our bed and breakfast, and let me tell you, it completely delivered. Food: 5/5 I went with the #4: chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella on focaccia , and wow. First of all, it was massive--no way I could finish it solo, so I split it with my husband and we were both blown away. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the mozzarella was so fresh, and the focaccia was fresh and perfectly chewy. It's honestly one of the best chicken cutlet sandwiches I've had--like, up there with the Red Hook Italian delis in Brooklyn. This sandwich had weight, flavor, and heart. Chef's kiss. My husband also ordered a side of meatballs, which admittedly took a bit longer, but he was obsessed with them, so no real complaints. I get it--the hot items take a little more time than the sandwiches. Service: 5/5 This isn't a sit-down spot--they've got a couple of chairs, but it's really more grab-and-go. That said, service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Our sandwiches came out in about 10-15 minutes, and the staff was great about keeping the line moving even when it got a little busy. Overall: This place is a gem. Total cost for both of us? Around $30, and it felt like a luxury lunch without the price tag. Generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and that classic deli charm. If you're anywhere near the Hudson Valley, do yourself a favor and stop here. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

There is no parking so you have to do street parking. I lucky parked in the front. The outside of the building is dated and a bit hard to see among the other store fronts. Inside, I noticed the place feels like it's from the past. But it was inviting. The waitress told me grad a seat and she asked if I wanted coffee. After she took my order and took it to throne cook in the restaurant. I noticed a TV on the back wall playing modern music, it was great. After, my meal came and I started to eat. The home fries were different. They used a mix of vegetables I've never seen on home fries, but it worked. I was disappointed the ketchup on my table was empty and when they replaced it, it definitely was not Heinz. The egg was not as big as I thought. They used white cheese and that was fine. It just left me wanting more. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere, but the food didn't move the needle for me. I enjoyed the music, staff, and atmosphere, so those are wins.

After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.
