We had a family event at Aloy's today. They have a beautiful private room for catering. The pizza hors d'oeuvres were delicious, the food was fantastic, and the service even more so. We had the penne a la vodka, the roasted rosemary chicken with potatoes, Italian meatballs, and sausage & peppers. Thank you Aloy's for making our event go so smoothly.
This is one of the more difficult reviews I've written. Despite living in/around Poughkeepsie for 50+ years, I've never been to Aloys. I've heard their pizza is legendary, and the food is fantastic, unfortunately that was not my experience but I'm going to go back and give it another try. For now, all I can give it is 3 stars.On the plus side the staff is friendly and attentive. Although the atmosphere is nothing special and somewhat dated, there's also something appealing about it - it just feels 'comfortable'. As you come in there's a bar to the right and the dining area is to the left. Past the dining area is a large room for parties.As far as the food goes, we had their pizza. It took a very long time to arrive. My dining partner has had their pizza many times before and loves it. Me, not so much. It's thin crust (which I do like) and we had half cheese and half pepperoni. The cheese only pie was better as it was much less oily with a crispy crust. I could easily pick it up and eat it. The pepperoni was very oily, thin crust also but far too 'floppy' to pick up. The taste for both was just ok. There are a lot of reviews that speak highly of the pizza, so perhaps it's just me because I'm just not tasting it.The next time I go back I will try something other than the pizza and hopefully be able to rate it higher.
After thinking about going to Alloy's for years...we finally got a chance to have dinner there...Wow! Best waitress...amazing side salad...fast service and the best Italian dinner I've had outside of Manhattan!
Food was good. The wait for our dinner took over an hour and there were only 6 people in the restaurant at the time we ordered.
Good unique eats served by knowledgeable and professional staff.
We had a reservation and our table was set and ready when we arrived. Several of us had their awesome pizza and others tried the dinner specials. ALL of the food and beverage was excellent. HOLLY our Waitress was awesome and attentive on a Very Busy night.
What a nice place. I wish I had discovered it sooner. Great Italian food. Lovely ambiance. The desserts were impressive (that brownie topped cheesecake wow!). My friend and I had a really lovely evening and look forward to coming back.
Best thin crust pizza and old school Italian food. Our favorite local family restaurant. Just had sons baptism party here. Everyone loved it.
Food and staff was excellent. We have been going to Aloys for over 30 years
Old school Italian restaurant where you can still get bread and a salad included with your meal. Great food and very cozy.
