Essential Information

Poughkeepsie, NY

845-452-4700

Amici’s, a popular eatery near the railroad station in the city’s waterfront district, offers delicious Italian fare with a personal touch. On busy days, chef/owner Joel Trocino will step out of the kitchen to help serve — and even bus tables when needed. For a nifty twist, Trocino also offers a monthly “interactive chef” night: He sets up shop in the dining room and cooks a five-course Italian meal right there, chatting with customers about ingredients and answering their “burning” culinary questions. “It’s a lot of fun for everybody, myself included,” he says.
