Truly authentic regional Italian cuisine prepared by CIA students under the instruction of world-class faculty takes center stage at Ristorante Caterina de’ Medici, a sophisticated dining room overlooking a stunning herb and rose garden. Dining at this grand Tuscan-style villa is a culinary escape to another world along the banks of the Hudson River.

    Menu was superb! Lots of very different options to choose from; quite eclectic. Food was expertly prepared and beautifully displayed. Our waiter seemed to have a few issues with how to attend to our table, but there were additional wait staff to back him up when necessary and everything went very smoothly. A very enjoyable dining experience!

    The food was outstanding. Wife has keto needs and they served them well with truly yummy food. We did the 3-course menu which was great value and more than enough to eat - too much really - but we managed. Kudos to the students.

    We joined 2 other couples who had never been to the CIA and they really loved the experience. My husband and I have been to the Culinary several times previously and this time was just as awesome! The choice of food in each category was vast and diverse. I am a vegan and my husband is gluten free. I enjoyed the shredded Brussel sprout salad with lemony vinegrette and the vegetables with farro & mushroom entree. My husband loved the roasted potatoes and roasted chix with gluten free pumpkin cake for dessert. My only suggestion for the future is to offer a vegan option for dessert.
