A fantastic experience every time I go (which has been quite often). The food is incredible. I'd venture to say among the best in the area! The service is great, as is the ambiance and the wine list. Would recommend to anyone, especially for a nice date night.

Let me start out by saying the food was great and we tipped $30 on a $85 bill - mainly so $10+ can go into their propane tank fund/outdoor heating fund. The food was not worth sitting in the cold for. Maybe it was for my date (they got the veal). The tagliatelle got cold faster and I had to take half of it home.

Within 5 minutes of us sitting down our heater turned off - it was a 50 degree night and was getting colder/windier. We were told they had no more tanks and that s where the convo ended. I mean, my date was making customer service suggestions to me lol I should have tipped him. At the end of the day it felt like a heating con. The heater was off when we got there, then they turned it on for us and then in 10 minutes it went out. It s like the old salesperson trick, which I find trashy.

It would have been nice if they suggested anything to us; do u want to move? Do u want to leave? Do u want your food to go? Anything!

Other than that it was great, our waitress was great. But it is getting colder outside. Maybe if propane is in a shortage look at diversifying your heating solutions

My parents went here for their 49th Anniversary on August 29, 2018. They had nothing but amazing compliments about their experience. My mom had the Avocado & Hearts of Palm Salad and the Fettuccine & Short Ribs. My dad had the Grilled Calamari and Domestic Loin of Lamb. My dad has been a Chef for years and couldn't stop talking about his food.

The service was just as amazing. I'm happy to write this review for them because it is nice to see them so happy. Thank you Cafe Amarcord!

I went to Amacord today for lunch. The mushroom soup was excellent. Unfortunately the lunch course which was one of the special with shredded pheasant was too salty to eat. The server was very apologetic and it was taken off my bill. This is unusual since I have eaten ar this restaurant many times with rating it high w/only accolades and praise. I would still go back and have another meal...it had to have been a fluke..

For Italian food, this is my go to restaurant. Everything is prepared authentically and there are pleasant surprises on the menu. Before it was popular, their Burrata was unbelievable. It's in the middle of Main St. in Beacon, they have their own parking, and it's a great place for dinner with friends.

Wonderful place especially for dinner. I have tried twice their daily specials and both time I was really satisfied. We traveled to beacon from Queens JUST to have lunch or dinner at this place!

My partner and I have been here twice and both times experienced great service, food and drinks. What amazes me the most though, is the literal novel the servers memorize about the specials. It s like a 5 minute speech. Both times my partner and I clapped afterwards because we were so impressed, ha!

Everything about my experience at Cafe Amarcord was amazing. A friend and I were visiting the Beacon/Cold Spring area for hiking and this place came recommended by a friend. The tables were generously spaced out to follow COVID19 regulations which was great. Our waitress (sorry i forget your name!) was fantastic, great attention to detail but not overbearing. Every single thing we ate was so delicious, great use of different flavors. Highly recommend and can't wait to visit again!

My first time there with a friend...Relaxing but upbeat atmosphere the second you walk in. Was impressed by a very attentive staff who made our dinner most pleasurable. Both the presentation and the food was wonderful. Cannot wait to go back.

Our friend Dennis waxed lyrical over this pork chop at this restaurant in Beacon as we were planning for our trip to Storm King, so we HAD to come and try it for ourselves. Verdict? Pretty darn good.

The food didn't feel rushed and mindlessly prepared the way food in the city typically tastes. Is it because the ingredients come fresh from farms nearby in upstate New York? Is it because the chefs had time to put in extra care in preparing the meats and garnishes for the plate? Or is it because the peaceful surroundings created a nice enough ambience to put us in a better mood to enjoy the food? Perhaps all of the above.

The pork chop was tender and not over-cooked, and the apples and sweet potatoes conjured tastes of summer. It didn't blow my mind like the ones I had in New Orleans (see @restaurantrebirth and @emerils), but still pretty darn good. Steak was umami without being overly salty. The egg yolk dish was a perfect combination of some of my favorite things - creamy yolk, deep fried skinny potatoes, and juicy shrimp.

Definitely will be back to try other things on the menu if I'm ever back in Beacon. I was very satisfied.

1. Berkshire Pork Chop (mashed sweet potatoes and whiskey flambeed granny smith apples)
2. Prime Bone In Ribeye (dry porcini mushroom seasoning, roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts with cranberry & bacon)
3. Egg Yolk Carpaccio (sauteed herbed shrimp, shoe string potatoes)
4. Grilled Calamari (red wine vinaigrette: lemon, garlic, shallot & diced tomato)
5. Complimentary bread with crushed tomato and olive oil

My date and I had a wonderful dinner at Amacord. We both had a leek and potato soup with white truffle oil that was fantastic. She had mushroom raviolis and I have a rediculous veal chop that was probably 2.5 - 3 inches thick. The wait staff is attentive and courteous. Great wine and a cozy romantic atmosphere where make this a place I will go back to.

Last night was a great Valentine's dinner. The atmosphere was wonderful. We arrived early and were able to sit at their bar for a few drinks before being seated. On top of their regular menu they had over a dozen specials. Our food was cooked to perfection an the presentation was on point. Service was good as well. All in all it was a lil spendy, but well worth every penny. My wife and I had a great time.
We'll definitely be going back there in the future.

Not a good meal, bread was budget deli style, not enticing. To start we had burrata with persimmons and pomegranate, underwhelming and persimmons were not flavourful. The duck ragu was distinctly lazy and one dimensional. The whole branzino tasted as if had been previously frozen. We did not indluge in any dessert, hard to say why. The service was good on the other hand. Sad and disappointing restaurant.

Came here at suggestion from out relative who lives in NYC. We had a gift certificate and got to enjoy a very nice meal together. Great wine selection and some delicious menu options that will expand the palate of any adventurous taster! Delizioso!

Absolutely fantastic! So far, I have not had anything I don t like. The cantaloupe, prosciutto and burrata is amazing! The Ricotta Ravioli with Truffle & Mushroom, the Fettuccine & Short Ribs, the Garganelli Duck Ragu, the Prime Bone In Ribeye are all too good to describe.

Really, really fine Italian-American restaurant where the emphasis is on fine blends of European seasonings rather than commonly known items. I prefer butter to dipping bread in a small bowl of olive oil. But this bowl had pressed olives, strawberries and tomatoes which I finished off with a spoon. The gravy on the whipped potatoes tasted sweet because the main ingredient was simmered cognac. The medium-well rib-eye was exquisite, with a peppercorn braise that accented it's natural flavor. The waitress was the most knowledgeable I've ever encountered, capable of explaining what we were eating and how it was prepared. The cheesecake dessert was disappointing in that it was tasty, but very small.

This is a high quality spot on Main Street. I went on a Wednesday evening and it was mostly empty. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. The staff was great. All of the dishes ordered by my party (two appetizers & three entrees) were seafood with the exception of my entree, which was the bone in ribeye. In general, everything was good, and some were great. The scallops appetizer and the seafood stew and tuna entrees were excellent. The mussels appetizer and the lobster mac and cheese were good. My steak was cooked perfectly and was a delicious cut of meat. The fingerling potatoes that came as a side were really spectacular.

I didn't get a chance to try any of their pastas, but I honestly wanted every one of them. Nothing boring, but nothing reaching too far in terms of being different either. I look forward to returning for pasta.

All in all, a great experience. I did not get a look at the wine list as one of my party was a non-drinker so we elected to not have drinks with dinner, but I certainly will next time. The bill was about $135 for three people with no drinks or dessert.

We went to Amacord for New Years Eve 2019 and had a great experience. The bar, drinks, service and food were all excellent. Although I have never been there before I will be sure to return and look forward to it. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Really has a great Mother's Day dinner here! I had the tuna as a main dish and it was amazing! My son and boyfriend had filet mignon and porterhouse steak and they we're both cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

Fantastic dinner tonight. First visit for me, repeat for my friend. Great from entrance to exit. We were given seating choices. Our server was knowledgeable and personable, and he capably walked the fine line between attentive and intrusive. We were not rushed, enjoying a leisurely 2+ dining experience. (Others came and went so service was not slow.) The food was absolutely delicious - the starters, the entrees, and the dessert. Pleased they have a parking lot. I intend to dine here again. Strongly recommended!

Fantastic. Went here for an anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. Great food quality and great flavor. The specials were also delicious sounding and there were many. The Pork Chop and Sweet Potato with whiskey baked apples was PERFECT. Wine selection was well balanced. The service was perfect. Not too obtrusive but always available. Our waitress was a true professional, every dish memorized and an experienced knowledge of the menu. The noise level was perfect even with a full house. The design and lighting is relaxing without being sleepy. This is one of the few restaurants that I took time to look at the art before leaving. The collection was really impressive. For the quality, service, and ambiance it is worth every penny.
