A grand Tuscan-style villa on the campus of The Culinary Institute of America features truly authentic regional Italian dishes. The sophisticated dining room overlooks a stunning herb and rose garden, and the Hudson River. Or enjoy wood oven pizza and simple rustic dishes in the more casual Al Forno Trattoria.
My thoughts are squarely on spring—much warmer days, the return of farmers markets and a greater variety of local produce, and of course, Hudson Valley Restaurant Week!
