Did you know that Chef Vinny Gilberti and team make all of our pastas from scratch, in house? Well they do! Starting April 8, it's time to dive into the comforting pleasure of pasta, sourced with the best of what's available in our region, every Monday night.

Pasta Night Mondays, a weekly dining event offering a 3-course prix fixe meal of antipasti, “bread” baked in house, and a plentiful family style salad; a choice of house-made fresh pastas; and dessert, for $45 per person and $25 for children (plus tax and gratuity). All pastas — from cavatelli to ravioli, tagliarini to tajarin — are made in-house by Italian American Executive Chef Vinny Gilberti and team using locally grown and milled grains from Wild Hive Farm in Clinton Corners, NY, and Hudson Valley sunflower flour, and combining seasonal ingredients, many sourced from our region.

Pasta Night at Troutbeck is an opportunity for Chef Vinny to embrace his Italian roots, his appreciation for making pasta from scratch, and a chance for community to gather at Troutbeck for an attractive price point on Mondays, when few restaurants in our area are open.
