    Rice balls
    Audrey R.

    This was our first time here after being recommended and I am so glad that we came. Service was great from the very beginning to the very end of our visit. Our waitress Nicole was phenomenal. Everything from the appetizers to the entrées to the bread with oil at the table was delicious. We were there with two other couples had a variety of different entrées all of which were phenomenal. I would definitely recommend coming here.

    Burrata

    Vulajio's is Nonna approved! We started off with the burrata and Sicilian rice balls. The burrata is served with prosciutto, which was fresh, tomatoes, and roasted red peppers. The chicken scarpariello was tangy, spicy, and delicious! My mom said the sliced chicken cutlet in her salad was nice and juicy. We wrapped up our meal with cappuccinos, a single shot of espresso for Nonna, and a tartufo to share. The owner, Joe, was so kind. It was apparent how much he loves what he does and wants to make sure his patrons are happy with his service. There is plenty of parking, as it is located in a shopping center. Conveniently located a couple minutes off of the Taconic exit. Vulajio's also has a private room for events or parties.

    Kids pasta and meatball

    We decided to come back to Vulajio's because our first visit was very positive. This time we were very disappointed. We ordered a shrimp bacon wrapped appetizer that was on a special menu. When the appetizer came in and we bit into the shrimp, it was raw inside. I immediately spat it out (gross, I know) and told my kids not to touch it. My mom said the shrimp was raw and cold on the inside. The waitress apologized and offered another appetizer on the house which we declined because our food was coming out soon. The rest of the dinner was delicious. However, I don't think I can bring myself to come back after being served undercooked seafood. When the bill came they took off the cost of the appetizer ($22 BTW!) but wouldn't offer any additional discounts on the dinner or desserts.

    Chicken piccata

    This was our first time here. I've been hearing great things about it so it was on my list of places to go. We went for lunch. I had the chicken piccata and it was delicious! The lunch time portions were perfect. We also enjoyed a nice glass of montepulciano. The waitress was kind, attentive, and polite. We enjoyed our meal here and look forward to visiting again soon

    While visiting family in the area we decided to have dinner here. Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall you will find a very contemporary decorated in black & gray Italian eatery. We had made reservations but at 5:00 pm it wasn't crowded. By 6:00 pm more patrons were strolling in. The restaurant was clean & the waitstaff along with the owner(s) were extremely attentive throughout our meal. Everyone aimed to please. We ordered two appetizers, the special of the day grilled calamari & shrimp & the mainstay Burrata appetizer. Although I'm not a calamari fan, my dinner companions said it was excellent. The Burrata was very good as well. I had a glass of the Moscato & my companions had some cocktails & house red wine. All were perfectly made. Our entrees were the Filet Mignon with creamed spinach, Zuppa di pesche fra diavlo & chicken franchese. The beef was perfectly cooked to medium rare as ordered & could have been cut with a butter knife. The Zuppa was all seafood over pasta. No skimping on the seafood. My chicken was tender in a delectable lemon butter sauce. All came with a side salad. We ordered a slice of cheesecake to share & decaffeinated cappuccino's. All presented well. My only qualm was the $10.29 "operating" fee. They really should state up front that this will be added if you use a credit card. You'll find this notation at the bottom of your bill stating "pay by cash & save!" Had I known this I could have brought cash. Our meals for 3 were over $200.00 & the $10.29 operating fee wasn't going to break us. It was just the principle of the thing. We will visit again with cash.

However they do deserve a five star rating because they are offering something different compared to any other place in Catskill. The place is called "The salad bar" however their sandwiches are just as good if not better than the salad. The ingredients are always fresh and I've never been disappointed. Prices are fair considering the quality and overall we need more places that are different and unique like this in the village. They have small cozy area for you to chill and enjoy your meal and the service is always quick and friendly. Many of the towns in the Hudson Valley have been revitalizing their downtown areas with great success but Catskill Village seems to be moving a lot slower compared to those other areas. The salad bar is one of those places that's helping it move forward.

    Update: We went back almost immediately because we couldn't stop talking about the first meal, and…read moresomehow it was every bit as amazing. The lamb shank was absurdly tender, the baba ganoush was smoky and rich, and yes, the ezme, beets, and pita remain mandatory ordering. But what really sets this place apart is the heart behind it. On a hard night for our family, a simple unexpected dessert brought genuine comfort and a smile when we needed it most. They don't just feed your stomach here. They feed your soul. I would go to war for this restaurant. An absolute gem, genuinely some of the best food I've had in the area!! I don't write glowing reviews lightly, but this place absolutely earned one. From the moment the food hit the table, it was obvious this was something special. Every single thing we ordered, from the mezze sampler to the drinks to dessert, felt like the best version of itself it could possibly be. Not one weak note. Even the pita bread was memorable. Warm, soft, fresh, lightly charred, and worthy of praise in a meal FULL of standout dishes. The mezze sampler was EXTRAORDINARY. The beet and goat cheese was one of those bites that makes you stop mid-conversation. The goat cheese was fresh, creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced by roasted beets that were unbelievably sweet and luscious. Honestly, they were almost candy-like. I don't know what they did to prepare them, but they were incredible. The spicy vegetable dip, Esme, was bright, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Fresh, zippy, and balanced with just enough heat. The eggplant dip was equally impressive, with a silky texture, subtle tartness, mellow tomato notes, and that gentle pleasant bitterness that makes eggplant so satisfying when it's done well. The hummus was ridiculously creamy and rich with tahini, giving it a deep nutty flavor that made it one of the best hummus dishes I've personally had. We also ordered the Turkish manti, and they were fantastic. Little handmade parcels topped with cool yogurt and warm spiced oil that brought everything together beautifully. We didn't even manage to take a picture because by that point we were so completely absorbed in the meal that all manners disappeared and we just devoured them immediately. No photo. No pause. Just instinct. That might be the strongest endorsement I can give. The mint lemonade was perfect for a warm day. Bright, refreshing, tart, cooling, and mint-forward without being overly sweet. It tasted clean, balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Dessert completely sealed the deal. The Turkish revani was unbelievably soft, soaked through with milk, and had that luscious almost tres leches quality that makes every bite melt away. The fresh berries and raspberry sauce gave it just enough brightness and acidity to balance the sweetness beautifully. I had a cup of black tea with it, and the combination of cake, berries, and tea was one of those simple little moments that feels kind of magical. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Tasteful decor, warm atmosphere, and thoughtful design that feels welcoming without trying too hard. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuine. More than anything, the whole place feels like a labor of love. What blows my mind most is that this restaurant has apparently been here for over two years, and we somehow only just discovered it. We were legitimately mad at ourselves thinking about how many meals we could have had here already. Now we're just trying to make up for lost time!! For roughly $80 for two before tip, the value was outstanding. At first glance, the menu might look a little upscale, but once the food arrives, it makes perfect sense. The quality more than justifies the price. I've had good Mediterranean food before. This is operating on a completely different level. Without question, this is some of the best Mediterranean food I've had anywhere in the area, and I can't wait to go back.
