Coppola's Italian American Bistro

A classic American Italian restaurant. The potato gnocchi were spot on and I got exactly what I wanted. The seafood chowder that came with it was really good, too. The dessert was a total disappointment, the cheesecake didn't look or taste fresh, and it was too sweet with little flavor. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I'll definitely be back.

Went here for lunch today and tried the beef braciole. Super tasty, soft and meaty, 3 large balls of beef and some penne pasta to complement. Just the right amount without over doing it. Followed by a coffee which was good too. This place once hosted Richard Nixon for lunch. Spoke with the owner John who is friendly and passionate about the food and the business . His father came over from Naples to set it all up after the WW2. He’s now 92 and still comes to help cook daily. Some great stories shared by John about the family and food. Nicely laid out restaurant. Worth a visit when on the trail heading to Catskills!

We went for the lunch special. I had a really good beef stroganoff. The rice balls were to die for. Could have made a meal out of those. Our waitress was very attentive. It's a beautiful place. Definitely want to go back and try something for dinner. If you were up in the Hyde Park area, it's definitely a place you want to stop for a meal!

What started off as a sad and somber day with the funeral for my grandmother ended with a very high note: after the visiting hours we gathered at Cappola's Restaurant in Hyde Park. This is a spot my family has been going to for generations. Well, when I was a kid I got dragged to some family function 20 years ago that I was very bored at. I wound up scraping plates and working in the kitchen that day (I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time.) I latched onto John Cappola's arm and was given a full tour of the restaurant, $5 cash for helping out, and a life experience that I will never forget! John and I took some pictures that day, I asked him to autograph a menu for me, and I decided I wanted to go into the restaurant business. He talked me out of it, which I was quite glad he did becaus

Classic Italian-American well-known local's dining room. Booths & tables. Casual. Hidden bar nook & a private room. Maitre d' seats u. Down home friendly staff. Low key lighting. Had a great IPA tho plenty of decent. Nice portions. Small pizza feeds 2 & then some. Tangy BBQ chicken pizza had that artisan-style stone oven crust came out lookin beautiful. Spring salad with baby greens, candied walnuts, dries cranberries & goat cheese was generous & tasty. The real deal - Italian NY cheesecake - large slice. For 2 ppl easy. Creamy & heavenly eliciting a wow. Some say it's past its prime but locals love it & it certainly measured up for me. Gluten-free recommended if u tend to bloat. They use a robust flour. Secret tip: side menu includes a $5 slice of lasagna & their $4 eggplant rollatini, c
