Our Story
A Catskills Institution Since 1952
The Phoenician Steakhouse has called the hamlet of Phoenicia home for over seven decades. What began as a modest roadside inn has grown into one of the Hudson Valley's most celebrated dining destinations.
Owner Mike Ricciardella purchased the restaurant in 2010, bringing with him a lifelong passion for Italian cooking and a commitment to sourcing only the finest ingredients. Under his stewardship, the kitchen has returned to its roots — everything made from scratch, every day.
