There are few places in the nation with a greater supply of authentic Italian food than the east coast, and the ultimate battle for pasta supremacy is undoubtedly still being fought between New York and New Jersey. For Poughkeepsie-area apartment-ites wishing to save themselves a drive, sticking close to home in native New York is a recommended tactic, especially when you've got high-class establishment such as Cosimo's.

While their brick

oven fired pizza is a huge draw among the regulars, Cosimo's is far from your typical pizza joint. The menu is sophisticated, the wine list extensive, the dress code flexible (but skip the jeans and stick to a collar), and the service perfecto. High windows, pale stucco and marbled stonework make the transformation into Little Italy complete, with plenty of soft light and candlework to help create an intimate environment perfect for both couples as well as families.

The menu is deeply rooted in the old world tradition, featuring seasoned beef and tantalizing seafood. The meats are cured in the Italian methods of old, while in-house roasted red peppers and handmade mozzarella cheese yield dishes as delectable as one would expect. From chicken penne pasta to calamari crisped to perfection, Cosimo's is an ideal night of Italian charm that most Poughkeepsie-area apartment-ites won't mind leaving the complex for.
