Vesuvio's Ristorante

So we have seen a lot of amazing reviews and mentions of this place for a couple years. The other night we were in town and even though it says reservations recommended it was 7:00 pm and figured why not try a table for two. 10 minutes later we had a table. The service was on point. From the appetizer to the main course of the food was amazing. I had enough of my meal for two sittings. You go here and you won’t be disappointed.

This was my first visit to Vesuvios. I heard about it for years but never made it there until today. Reservations are recommended. The atmosphere is quite nice and has the perfect ambiance (in my opinion). Service was timely and courteous. We started our venture with drink specials (Limoncello Martini, Pinot Grigio and Spiced Pear Martini). Excellent on all accounts. Appetizers were Butternut Squash soup (seasonal) and fried Calimari. Vesuvius Calimari is one of the best. Crispy crust and tender pieces perfectly seasoned with plenty of marinara sauce. Entrees come with a salad, which was very good, and just the right amount of dressing. We had shrimp scampi, and two specials. Specials were a very unique gnocchi dish called pumpkin spice gnocci (seasonal) and a 14 ounce pork chop. All dishes were really good. The gnocci dish was very interesting. Being a first-generation Italian-American, I know gnocchi. So I was initially suspect of the fused flavors. Much to my surprise it was quite good. All the flavors are blended perfectly with no single flavor overpowering. I never had cranberries with an gnocci dish before. Honestly, I would order this again. Especially if you want something different. Too bad it is a seasonal dish. For desert, I had a double espresso and a Rum Spiced Bread Pudding. Also very good. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. I will return.

I went last night after touring some wineries with family & friends, this restaurant was recommended by a Bar tender & it did not disappoint. The service was extraordinary, the food was absolutely delicious! The portions are big and fairly priced, 3 family members had one of last nights seafood pasta special, my friends had the skirt steak special & chicken Alfredo tortellini, I had chicken Francese, since it was my Birthday dinner our waiter brought me Tiramisu🥳. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're around this area, not only for the great service but the delicious food!

My mom brought me here for lunch as this used to be her favorite spot while growing up in Newburgh. It did not disappoint. The sauce is the best part. I got the Penne Alla Vodka and was incredibly impressed as this was one of the best that I have ever had. Used the garlic bread to dip in the sauce and was in heaven. It was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend bringing family and enjoying some classic Italian food.
