Via Cassia

What a gem! My husband and I absolutely loved our first time Via Cassia. Everything was incredible. We especially loved the Gran Selezione, Kale salad, and the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Peperoncino. Don’t skip these dishes!! The gran selezione meat and cheese board had some great local cheeses and meats from small producers. Nothing was left on the plate when we were done. The kale salad looks simple but it has truly the best salad dressing I’ve ever had. The owners chatted with throughout the meal, and mentioned they used to lived in Southern California (and New York and Italy)… so they know salads. The Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Peperoncino was the surprise star of the night. While this dish may seem simple, the spice was incredible and the method of preparation gave it a cheesy vibe. SO GOOD I also had a great glass of wine from their curated list. Overall we loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It felt comfortable and intimate. Definitely recommend for your next meal in Hudson

We went to Via Cassia after seeing a prominent gluten free blogger share how safe it was to eat here. The food was incredible! We got the prosciutto, 2 pasta dishes, and the vanilla gelato. The pasta was imported from Italy-- they shared the brand with us and it was 100% GF. The texture was fabulous and totally different than GF pasta made in the US. The gelato with olive oil and sea salt was so simple and so astounding. We really really loved eating here. No cross-contamination issues either. Service was spectacular too. Definitely made us feel at home with our talkative 5 year old and our 3 month old!

Celebrated my 22nd birthday here and everything was perfect. I called to let them know i ran into traffic and was late. They were incredibly understanding and the moment I walked in they greeted us without having to introduce ourselves. The wine was fabulous, the pasta tasted like we were in Italy, and the tiramisu for dessert was the best I’ve ever had. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, our party had cacio e pepe, triple p, the chianti ragu, their special pork chop, the strip, and their charcuterie board. All of it was delicious. When we left the owner came out to wish me a happy birthday and thank us for coming. The personal touches when we came in and when we left, accompanied by the food, and the cozy family feeling atmosphere made my birthday extra special. Truly a 5 star night, I am so happy there is such a wonderful place in Hudson I will definitely be returning. I can’t recommend it enough.

Pasta was pretty good, not exceptional though…I expected more to be honest. The torta caprese was great for dessert. The restaurant is beautiful. Great ambience. Impeccable service. However, I found it a bit awkward that the restaurant was super quiet…only 4 tables dining. Yet we were sat right in between 2 of those 4 tables. Meaning, everyone could fully hear every word we were saying and there was no privacy…it was super uncomfortable. Especially for a date night with my husband. Not sure why tables were not sat apart when it was so empty. I probably wouldn’t come back unless I knew it was busy bc it was so quiet in the restaurant you could literally hear a pin drop. 🤣

Loved the potatoes Did not like the greens (bitter) My pasta order got mixed up so I had to wait for remake (hence the 4 stars) Overall pasta was good, fairly light on the meat in the ragu sauce that was a notch disappointing too Overall nice restaurant would recommend and come back to

Via Cassia offers an exceptional dining experience with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I visited with my husband and a friend, and we were all impressed by the quality of the food. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, blending classic Italian flavors with a modern twist. Every dish we tried was flavorful and well-prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the ambiance made it perfect for a relaxed evening out. Overall, it’s a place I’d highly recommend for both casual and special occasions. Also, they were so lovely to our dog, they made him feel like he was family!! I can’t say enough good things!!

We first heard about Via Cassia while visiting Tuscany, and knowing we lived just an hour and an half away from a restaurant that we heard about from across the Atlantic, we had to come visit. We couldn’t have had a better experience! When the owners heard how we found them, they both made sure to come meet us. They were so kind and welcoming and took very good care of us! The food was absolutely incredible, and we got to enjoy the same wine we had while visiting Tuscany. Truly a 10/10 experience and we will absolutely be coming back.

The food and drinks were absolutely sublime!! We started with the meat and cheese charcuterie which was a generous size and so good — then had some pastas, including the ragu, which was delicious. Great dining experience overall, great vibes and an amazing addition to Hudson!

This is literally the best pasta I've ever had, including in Italy and NYC. Every single dish at this place is perfect, even simple salads. No notes.

ORIGIN: Chef Gaetano Arnone brings years of experience in both NYC and Italian kitchens, opening Via Cassia, the name of a major Tuscan thoroughfare, in early 2024 with his wife Meigan. LOCATION: The restaurant is located on the western side of Hudson's bustling Warren Street. CONCEPT: Via Cassia brings the authentic taste of Italy to the Hudson Valley. The is facilitated by the procurement and clever integration of a curated collection of Giusti vinegars and Calvin olive oils. SETTING: To enhance the sense that guests are in Italy, business partner Megan Arnone applied her interior design skills. Vintage artifacts of Italian cafes and kitchens, acquired during their years in Italy, adorn the dining room walls. SERVICE: Chef Arnone and wife Megan are very attentive to guests. During my visit Chef Arnone came out of the kitchen to interact with guests, and Meigan warmly greeted at the door. EXPERIENCE A favorite first course of Meigan, and many guests, is Chef Arnone's rendition of Cacio e Pepe. Each forkful of creamy, cheesy, kitchen-made Radiatori is dreamy! You'll also find desserts are elevated with the clever inclusion of the curated collection of imported Italian olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Extra virgin olive oil is drizzled on vanilla Gelato and syrupy balsamic vinegar glazes the strawberry sorbet. TIPS: The restaurant is open for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays, making it an ideal destination for a Hudson day trip.

I visited at 5pm Friday night and sat at the bar. The restaurant has a neutral warm color palate , dim lighting and thoughtful artwork depicting Italian culture. The small lamps on top of the bar are a lovely color pop. My cacio e pepe was perfect. Each bite of pasta was creamy with just enough pepper and grated cheese. The foccacia bread was light with a wonderful crispy top and rosemary. The olive oil also delicious, bright with a lemon tang. The service was well paced and I was fully finished with my service in less than 30 minutes.

Called in to-go order recently; ( will be back for dinner !) all of the staff are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant decor is lovely with well spaced tables and ambiance; Our two pasta orders were excellent as well as the radicchio salad ( well balanced with the almonds) the bread was very good also! Will be back for a dine in experience

We were little early for fall colors but we found this marvelous Italian restaurant. We were a party of five that sampled the black Tuscan Kale salad and the Gran Seleizone. We then had gnocchi that had recommended by our server. It was my favorite dish of the evening . We also had rigatoni with pork ,quail and Halibut. Everyone enjoyed everything we shared and we had great service .

The service and ambiance were amazing! My boyfriend and I care here for our anniversary and they gave us a glass of Prosecco on the house! The food was phenomenal! Even the three cheese platter was delicious! They put these amazing balsamic caramelized shallots on the goat cheese that were earthy and packed with umami. The Tre P pasta was amazing too. The pomodoro sauce was fresh and the pasta was perfectly al dente. The "little pumpkins" were phenomenal as well. The lightly herbed sauce paired perfectly with the mushrooms! I ended the meal off with the best tiramisu I've ever had!

Great restaurant! Loved everything! The quail and everything from beginning to end was amazing. Fine dining quality food in a relaxed atmosphere.

The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service was very good. While the offerings on the menu are limited, the pastas we had were delicious and the portions were plentiful without being enormous. We will return.

Color me extremely impressed. My wife and I snuck in near close on a whim and the pasta was the best i've had short of a 3 month wait list. The Aglio e olio and cacio e pepe was perfectly al dente and correctly portioned. The fragrant olive oil in the aglio was a particular stand out and showcased simple ingredients executed well with a finely balanced heat from the calabrian chilis. Texbook authentic italian will definitely make this place a habit.

We visited two nights for dinner. The atmosphere, the service and the food is exceptional! Over the two nights, our table tried all the salads, the fabulous Italian meat platter, most of the pastas, the quail, halibut and skirt steak. Everything was delicious, fresh, nice size portions.... Delicious! All wines were Italian, even the gin for the gin and tonic was from Italy. Wonderful dessert options! Panna Cotta with grapa soaked cherries, affogato and the chocolate budino, were the perfect finale. We will be back.. soon! Sadly we were too busy eating to take photos. MUST TRY !

Delicious, fresh pastas in a beautiful space. Had tastes of the olio, bucatini, and the ragu. All were different and delicious. You can't go wrong!

One star for the excellent service and a second star for the bread, which was delicious. The rest of the meal was disappointing. The radicchio salad was very pretty, but the insipid, almost tasteless dressing did nothing to highlight or contrast the salad greens themselves. My husband's pork belly ragu had no pork or other meat in sight & the pasta was far too al dente. Ditto for my agile e olio -the pasta was underdone even for al dente pasta and the sauce itself was gluey; I couldn't eat even half my meal. The wines were generously poured, but ordinary. We didn't bother with dessert.

Food and service were fantastic, we were able to taste a few different wines and loved our entrees. The owner was very friendly.

My husband and I lunched at Via Cassia on Sunday and were thrilled with the experience. Fresh, well executed dishes paired with great wine (we were a bit skeptical about the chilled red but, WOW, it was fantastic and perfect with our pasta dishes on a warm day). The vibe was friendly and the owners are charming. Thanks for the lovely afternoon, Via Cassia!

Last night we had a completely wonderful meal - kale salad, radicchio salad, sea bass on a bed of pureed fava beans and skirt steak with fingerling potatoes, vanilla gelato with EV olive oil, good bread, and lovely wines. This is the third or fourth time we've eaten here, and the food prep is marked by simple, fresh ingredients, and a light hand wherein nothing is overwhelmed by a particular spice or flavor. Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating and friendly competent service. Nice background music which is not intrusive. This is a fairly new establishment and it's nice to see a chef/owner and spouse also helping to wait tables and still finding time for a brief chat. The menu is still expanding, having started with only pasta dishes with pasta made in house and delicious. Portions are perfectly sized. Try it, you'll like it!
