Ivana’s Cucini

Good food but employees and owners are very rude. They need to work on their customer service because we have many other Italian restaurant in New Windsor that provide great food with exceptional customer service and would love our business. Therefore, revise your hospitality atmosphere or loose business.

We came here tonight because a good friend recommended it highly. Most of us were disappointed. My calamari was overlooked and the red sauce was fairly bland like it could have come out of a can. Another had a pizza which she said was not done enough on top. Another ordered manicotti and said it was very plain and ordinary. Veal Marsala also was very plain.

I absolutely love Ivana’s. This is the best Italian food I ever had and everything is made fresh! The service is excellent and they are always willing to please you. Definitely my favorite restaurant!

Poor service. Decided to go here on a date with my boyfriend. There was only one table available but it needed to be bussed. The waitress said she’d be with us in just a moment, they just needed to bus the table. She went into the back and stood there chatting with other workers. We stood there for a while while everyone stared at us, including all of the workers. (Yes stood, there was no where to sit even while we waited) You would think that at least one worker would do their job and try to quickly get the table ready.

Wife and I live up the road but for some reason we never tried it. We decided to give them a shot for their pizza and wings and it became my go-​to place for pizza and wings immediately! We promised ourselves to go back and have a proper meal but until then, I am impressed.

Best Italian charming restaurant in New Windsor, Newburgh, Vails Gate, Cornwall… you get the picture :-) I was visiting from California and my sister who lives up the street from Ivana’s recommended this place. It was perfect!!! It was so refreshing to see such a charming little place with wonderful delicious authentic fresh Italian food!!! The portions are HUGE and the service was right on! Thanks Heather!!! Modern, clean and inviting!!! Next time I come back to visit the family I will be asking to have dinner at Ivana’s. It was awesome. Highly recommend this place!

Second time here and no doubt this is my favorite place to eat in 50 miles. Just left with my wife and daughter and we’re all in love. I know everyone makes fried calamari but not like Ivana. We also ordered a pear and fig salad a large apizza and stuffed shrimp over rice. All to die for! Oh I almost forgot the beef barley soup that was so good I almost took a bowl home. Both times we’ve eaten here we had no room for dessert but next time I will make sure I do. Really!!! This place is fantastic!!!

I’ve eaten here a number of times and I have picked up food to go. Also have lunch here often enough to say that all of the previous reviews are right on the money. Ivana cooks good fresh Italian food that will not disappoint. The Panini selection is great and once you get to know them, it becomes hard to decide because they’re all great. Good portion sizes, reasonable prices. The pizza is also a hit.
She always offers up some great specials on the blackboard and the price is also listed. Her escarole and beans is just outstanding. That dish alone and some warm bread are heaven.
Good mention on the dining room by a previous post. It is one large room but it’s comfortable and it’s like eating with family (the side of the family that you actually like).
Great salad selection also. This is a great place for lunch or dinner.

Best authentic Italian food for miles.
Great staff, fresh food prepared to order by people who really care.

New Windsor’s best kept secret. Absolutely the best Italian food north of the city.

This place has the best authentic homemade Italian. It’s always FRESH prepared to order. Large serving sizes very reasonable prices. We love the eggplant parm– I think her eggplant is the best around. Her chicken Francese is always the best flavors combined with the most tender and fresh chicken, always a delight. My wife and I also love her salads, lots of interesting and different combinations. For example the Fiesta salad is barbequed chicken over greens with black beans, avocado, pepperchinos and onions with a blu cheese dressing. Pizza is great too but this place is much more than a pizza place. Don’t be fooled by the strip mall location, this place is beautiful!
