Top Rated Restaurants & Cafes in Albany

Caffe Italia

This little mom-and-pop family restaurant specializes in plates from the Calabria and Campania regions of Italy. On the menu, diners will find Linguini Buccaniera, Veal Luciana, Chicken Marsala and the house favorite, Penne Puttanesca alongside plenty of wines from the 'Boot'. The prices are a bit on the higher side, yet this is because each dish is made by scratch and to-order, this includes the pasta and bread. Overall, Caffe Italia is a great place to eat authentic homemade Italian food while in the neighborhood of Pine Hills.

Athos Restaurant

Athos is one of the very few restaurants in the Capital District that serves authentic Greek cuisine. The restaurant prides itself on providing the very best of Greek hospitality or Philoxonia in the native tongue, with an amiable staff and warm interior design. As many diners already know, Greek food is one of the healthiest and most delectable on the planet, with appetizers like Dolmathakia (stuffed grape leaves), skordalia (potatoes, almonds and garlic) and of course, spanakopita (spinach, leeks and feta in phylo), it's no wonder the Mediterranean diet is so highly revered. The owners provide vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and prix-fixe menus as well.

The Hollow Bar + Kitchen

Hollow Bar fills the perfect niche in downtown Albany, it has great food and live music and it stays open very late on weekends. The menu lifts pub-grub to a higher standard, with artisan burgers and sandwiches alongside massive mains like Grilled Mahi-Mahi, House Pesto Steak or Wild Salmon over Quinoa. The craft beers behind the bar also feature quality pints to pair with some of the innovative plates on the menu. Entertainment features almost every type of local music on stage, from rockabilly and funk to hip-hop and metal; downtown Albany never had it so good.

C. H. Evans Brewing Company at the Albany Pump Station

The Evans family has been brewing beer for more than two centuries and it happily continues to do so. The brewery inside the former Albany Pump Station aptly evokes nostalgic charm in this massive space. In fact, it is impossible to miss the two enormous cranes that remain as vestiges of the station's water pumping days right in the middle of the pub. Most people come for the brews, all of which are homemade and the food menu consists of classic American dishes like burgers, sandwiches, wings and salads alongside full entrees such as rib-eye steak, meatloaf and ribs. Some of the beers have a high ABV (alcohol by volume) content, such as the Victorian Porter and Black and Tan, yet there are other accessible ones like the WIPA or Cream Ale at 4.4% and 4.5%, respectively.

Jack's Oyster House

Not quite the oldest dining establishment in Albany, but one of the oldest, Jack's Oyster House has been serving patrons since 1913. It has remained in the same family since its inception as well, from grandpa to grandson, the kitchen has always been busy with the Rosenstein family. Its classic steak/seafood menu and proximity to the Capital Building make it a popular lunch and dinner spot for the city's politicians and power-elites. The menu changes often, however some of the delectable dishes that remain in rotation include the Filet Mignon, the NY Strip and the Baked Stuffed Lobster Tail. As with most steakhouses, the prices are commensurate with the size of these USDA Prime quality cuts and other treats from the sea.

Umana Restaurant & Wine Bar

Wine and food in their simplest form is what Umana specializes in, where the knowledgeable staff can help pair one of their great wines with an equally amazing meal. It's open for lunch and dinner along with a popular Sunday brunch. The wine list is innovative and features varietals from all across the world. Overall, a nice addition to the Washington Park dining district.
