Aroma Osteria - Hughsonville

I was in town for work and looking for a yummy dish. I came across this place with the help of Google. I called my order in for takeout because I felt severely underdressed and did not want to dine alone. The gentleman (assuming it was the owner and/or manager) who picked up and took my order was extremely pleasant! It was audibly busy and he informed me it might take a little extra time and asked if that was ok. Already impressed, I informed him it was no issue and went on to butcher the name of the dish Farfalle Deliziose, his response was Mama Mia! and corrected me. It was funny and lighthearted. He was not kidding, I was able to secure the 1 spot left in the lot! The interior of this place was beautiful! I was greeted by the bartender who was also pleasant! I did arrive a bit early so I sat and waited just a few minutes. Within that time the owner (dressed to impress) came over and greeted me. He was very warm and funny. We had a refreshing interaction! He even double checked to make sure I needed utensils as I was staying at a nearby hotel. The food was made with love and packed with integrity!!!! The portion was generous as well! Even with reheating the next day, it still tasted amazing! The balance of flavors was unforgettable! A small/quick review does not suffice here. Overall phenomenal, definitely need to check this GEM out!

Our home town eat. Alex always takes care of us. Food is always great. Wait staff are excellent. If you are eating in the Mid-Hudson Valley, this is a must do.

This is our absolute favorite Italian restaurant for many, many years. I love how we get greeted so warmly by Alex when we arrive. So many reasons we love it here… the scrumptious food, the atmosphere and the incredible staff. Two very big thumbs up to Francesco, our sever last night. You can tell he loves what he does and it only made us enjoy our special night more.

I used to eat at this restaurant all the time in the early 2000! I took my wife for her birthday to my favorite restaurant and the food was a quarter of the portions! I had this Italian kid for a waiter who just over talked you and would follow the owner around every where! I had crumbs on my table which to me is nothing but your paying for the experience! Anyway I had a middle aged blond come over and make a remark about my waiter and when he saw this he ran back to our table to say thank you to her and off he was again! The portions were terrible and the food was par! It obviously is under new ownership and trust me when I tell you it’s a waste of time! I took my wife to Outback Steakhouse and left full and happy! Why give a local business your money when they could care less if you were happy?

This is the Italian restaurant you have been looking for! After moving upstate from Westchester county, I found it difficult to find an authentic Italian restaurant. From the moment you walk in, it's a friendly reminder of trips to Italy. From the incredible Arancini, the freshly made Gnocchi to the Chicken Parmesan, everything was incredible. Our waiter Francesco made the experience and I highly suggest asking for him. We can't wait to go back!
