Maestri’s Prime Italian Steakhouse – Authentic Fine Dining & Italian Steak in Saugerties, NY

My family had a wonderful time here. Everyone who served us was very kind and helpful. The portions were gigantic, and everything tasted great. Unfortunately the carrots were undercooked, but besides that, everything was perfect. I will be back, hopefully with room for dessert and a cocktail as well!

Excellent meal from Start to finish and the service was wonderful. This was literally the best French onion soup I’ve ever had.

We had the best time here. We sat at the bar for appetizers and a few glasses of wine. There’s no shortage of wine choices even though Gabe the owner is known throughout the region for his amazing espresso martini (we went out too late to start with those). The bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had - could’ve been a meal in itself with prosciutto and melted mozz. The meatballs are real solid delicious meatballs topped with fresh creamy ricotta. A bar neighbor had the seafood martini and just from the looks of it I know what I’m getting next time. Gabe, the owner and bartender, is a hustler and clearly does a ton of work in the background when he’s not behind the bar to make sure the place serves only the best prepared dishes. The town is lucky to have such a sterling place to go for delicious food and happy, easygoing atmosphere. A special shoutout to Scott who wasn’t our waiter but added to the fun atmosphere when he was behind the bar.

The Wait staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. Drinks were well made and tasty. The food is where things start to get weird. The fried calamari was good but the French onion soup was too salty and took too much away from the flavor of the soup. The Nona Sunday special was decent but again too salty. The lobster tail stuff with crab: the lobster was way overcooked and rubbery. The crab filling was decent though, but would have been better with a properly cooked lobster, especially for 65$. Will go back again to try again and see how other plates are, but was a little let down by the quality of the food handling.

I had a great time here for the first time, recommended by my teacher at work. I took my girl here for her birthday. It was very intimate and set up nicely. It looks like you’re entering a house, the mood is nice, our waiter was amazing and funny, very on point with our drink recommendations. We dressed nice which seemed perfect for the occasion and I placed a reservation to be sure that we’d have a spot when we got there. Needless to say, it was an amazing time and vibe. Not too pricey either, right within my budget.

First time eating at Maestris tonight was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious but a little pricey.. Couldn’t make up our mind on what to have everything looked good :) But, Thanks to our server Heather she was wonderful and very helpful..

Great service and food. Gio was awesome and never disappointed. Lobster bisque was none the less perfect, then topped it off with delmonico 24oz steak and ate half and had to bring the rest home. Great portions great service delicious food worth the price! Wife enjoyed her filet also!

Service was wonderful - our server/waitress, Rebecca, is a true professional - friendly/funny and always checking in. We were very excited to try this restaurant as the menu looks amazing! Rye Manhattan was excellent! Started with seafood cocktails and they were great. Crab meat and shrimp were perfect but lobster a little overcooked. The sauce served with the rack of lamb is delicious and the lamb was perfectly cooked (med rare). The lamb meat was good but lacked a bit of flavor/seasoning. Same for the potatoes and green beans. LOVED that the entrees came with sides though. BEST espresso martini!!! The banana foster cheesecake was good. Of note - the cheesecake is Italian style (not NY). We wished that there was more banana with the dessert.
