  Honestly this place was awful.  My expectations were not high, but living in Poestenkill you don't have a lot of options.  I love the views out here and privacy, but you aren't eating at 5 start places (or even 3 star).  However this place was truly one of the worst I have been too.  54 minute wait to get a hamburger was bad enough, but I ordered it medium rare and there was no red or even the slightest pink available.  I mean straight up brown well done over booked cheap hamburger.  When I told the lady I wasn't eating because of this she said it wasn't their fault and it has to be cooked to a certain temp.  So why ask how you want it cooked if all meat must be over-cooked to the point of dog food?  What if I would have ordered it well done?  Ouch.  Anyway after having a crazy long wait, and a horrible sandwich that was prepared wrong, the waitress still charged full price.  Even though we couldn't even eat it.  We spoke up and she declined to remove it.  Just fail in every possible way.

  anyone who thinks this is anything close to acceptable dining has probably just been released from prison. The ambiance is akin to a bingo parlor or a VFW hall. The spaghetti was completely overcooked. The waitress who was probably just 18 tried and i have no complaints. I guess im more disappointed because i expected more after reading reviews. No price was worth this junk although i would characterize the prices as moderate. Overall stay away even for a pizza u can do better

  I didn't have pizza. I had wings and antipasto.  
  
  I expect very little from Buffalo Wings that are not from The Ruck.  We got an order of both mild and hot (they do not have medium Buffalo sauce here).  The mild looked really buttery so I didn't have any.  The hot were reasonably spicy but the sauce was gloppy and tasted and felt like it had flour in it.  
  
  The antipasto (for two) was really weak on the veggies and was mostly orange colored bread wedges, 2 pieces of garlic bread, and cold cuts.  The balsamic vinaigrette was just balsamic vinegar (forgot to shake the bottle?).  It needed more leafy stuff.  
  
  It was between "meh" and "ok" and I don't know if I would seek it out (actually the only reason we went there was because the Red Front is closed on Mondays)

  This used to be my go-to place for pizza. Loved this place  Though I went back once after the renovation, and the service was terrible, the pizza had way too much sauce and had a burnt crust. Thinking it was a fluke, I tried again a few weeks later and got the exact same crappy service and subpar, burnt pie. I suppose I should give it one last try before totally writing it off.  Wonder if there's a new manager or something?

  The pizza here has some things going for it, it's huge and pretty easy to handle, they top it with sliced sausage, but they don't put a lot on. Sauce is tasty enough, though I imagine they have the sauce the upscale places are missing on their pasta. Chicken wings have a nice orangy sauce, but it's odd, one minute it tastes on the sweet side, the next your lips are burning. I always trust Ian's tastes and would like to try the entrees. My favorite za is still Paesan's, but I wouldn't turn this place down.

  Very popular place for dinner, especially on the weekends (there could be a short wait for a table). Formerly a bus garage, LaBella serves appetizers, pizza, salads, burgers, sandwiches, Italian dinners, soft drinks and beer. The prices here are very reasonable (many dinners under $10). LaBella's was expanded and newly renovated recently. The main dining room has a long row of booths, tables, flat panel TV on the wall, and framed printed art on the walls.
  
  The food here is pretty good. The Baked Ziti ($8.49) and Lasagna ($8.79) each served with a garden salad & garlic bread are my favorite dinners. LaBella also has good deep dish pizza and great calzones!! The service in the dining room and the takeout counter are pretty good too!!!
  
  The calzones ($4.99) are filled with ricotta, mozzarella, & parmigiano cheeses, each additional topping is $0.89 and baked into a large pizza dough and served with a side of marinara sauce. Very tasty and very filling!!
  
  I now live in New Hampshire and the vast majority of the pizza places I've been to over there do not add ricotta cheese to their so-called "calzones" which is a crying shame!! Having a "real calzone" at LaBella's is definitely a nice treat.
