Cafe Pitti Review

Riverfront tables under a mandarin-orange canopy make for a relaxed meal at this small eatery, perfect for lunch, dinner, or just dessert in warm weather. When the air is nippy, head inside to the slightly cramped but warm space. The chairs are rickety and the service can be slow, but all is forgiven upon the arrival of the authentic Italian fare. Try a warm panini with Brie, arugula, and truffle oil, or a thin-crusted, prosciutto-topped pizzetta from the wood-burning oven. Tiramisu and cappuccino cake pair well with a selection of dessert wines and ports.

    Cafe Pitti Review

    I am a magazine editor in NYC where I hardly experience racism. But, as beautiful as the Hudson Valley is, this place is atrocious. The manager at the time I visited went double duty as my party's server and is as racist as they come. We ordered items on the menu and were told they were unavailable, only to see a Caucasian party seated right next to us get the items we attempted to order. When we confronted the manager, she told us plainly, "I preferred not to serve you that." Our neighbors joked that if they'd known we'd have such a hard time getting the same service they got, they'd have ordered for us. Most of the patrons walked out with us that day. It was disheartening and upsetting.
