Albany Restaurants

We recently visited Josie’s Table and started with the hummus appetizer. While the presentation was colorful, the platter felt a bit overloaded with raw veggies, and the hummus itself lacked flavor. The truffle parmesan fries were a highlight in terms of taste—crispy and savory—but unfortunately lost their texture quickly from being served in a metal cup, which made them soggy. I ordered the mushroom pappardelle with a fried egg on top. While it was generous with mushrooms, the dish was surprisingly bland and under-seasoned, and the egg was barely cooked. I had high hopes going in, but overall, the meal didn’t quite live up to expectations and wasn’t particularly memorable.

Really great place if you’re ever stuck in Albany. So good I’d make it a destination stop if I was on my way to someplace else and Albany was in the way(no offense Albany). Took my sons, had sausage and rabe(portion was a bit small) and meatballs to start. Taste was good although sausage didn’t taste like Italian sausage I’m used to, rabe needs to be steamed in chicken broth before it’s sautéed, this wasn’t so, though tasty, it was tough. Meatballs were pretty good too.I had the stuffed chicken Amalfi and my sons had the pork chop and ravioli. All 3 entrees were good. I also had an espresso martini, two actually, and both were excellent. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Also, I liked the feel of the venue. It’s kind of a neighborhood Italian with a bohemian flair. All good.

Really excellent food. Loved our waitress and pacing was excellent. Loved the new orange rose.

Very attentive and detailed service. Jon our server was very knowledgeable and thorough. He made great recommendations. We had the hanger steak and the sea bass which were both exceptional.

The service is always exceptional. The food is delicious. Me and my wife love coming to Black and Blu!
