Il Cenacolo

We’ve been coming here for the past 20 years at least. It’s easily the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been too. I just came back from a 2 week tour all over Italy and nothing, I mean nothing even came close to the food here. Save yourself a journey and just come to Newburgh for the best Italian food around. This place has always been spot on. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much at all over the years, but it’s nice, the service staff is very attentive and knowledgeable, and the food options are always wonderful. I tend to always get the Papardelle and it’s amazing without fail. I suggest you try the same.

Walking into IL Cenacolo feels like stepping into a warm Italian family home—inviting, cozy, and full of charm. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I've wanted to eat here since I was a kid, and it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything is made in-house with the freshest ingredients, and you can truly taste the quality in every bite. I don’t usually eat eggplant, but I tried the eggplant appetizer with ricotta and sauce—and I can’t stop thinking about it. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, the ricotta was silky and flavorful, and the sauce was just perfection (which is rare to find). Unique menu, amazing food, great service. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere was nice. There were different instruments, pictures and other things hanging up. Where I was, was dim little but not too dim. The staff were great

The service was outstanding, our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations based on our preferences. It’s clear that the staff here truly cares about creating a memorable experience for every guest. Now, the food… absolutely phenomenal!!! Every dish was beautifully presented and it was a lot of food. They have so many dessert it was hard to choose I try the coconut and the lava cake it was delicious😍🥰

Fantastic, authentic Italian food. Slow cooking style, every dish fired freshly by course. The service is always impeccable, patient and accommodating. Truly outstanding, and hard to find this level of restaurant these days. We are always happy to return. Our favorites: the antipasto, the rigatoni buttera, and the osso bucco.
