Popular Hudson Valley Italian Restaurant Celebrates Anniversary
"Milanese Italian Restaurant in Poughkeepsie celebrates 54th anniversary. Milanese located in Poughkeepsie, NY has been around for over 50 years, as it was established in 1971. Voted as one of the best spots to get pasta in the Hudson Valley, the Penne alla Vodka is said to be great! Penne pasta tossed with homemade tomato sauce, cream and a splash of vodka. Served with a house salad."
"The restaurant is located at 115 Main St, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601. It was opened in 1971 by Santino Milanese and his wife Rita. It remains a family-run establishment, with the next generation actively involved in the business. It's considered a landmark in what is sometimes called Poughkeepsie's "Little Italy" on Main Street. The menu features classic Italian-American fare: pasta dishes, veal and chicken entrees, seafood, and more."
"Consistency over decades: menu items and preparation have remained largely the same, giving patrons a sense of reliability. Generous portions and good value for money. Friendly service: many reviewers mention the staff and family-run nature adding to the charm. The decor is described as "old-school Italian" - cozy, family friendly, with a warm and familiar feel. It's also been praised as a place for celebrations - birthdays, communions, retirements. The space can accommodate large groups."
