Excellent fresh seafood

Oct 2023 • family

If you want fresh fresh fresh seafood in a casual atmosphere, this is the place for you. It's window service but they will bring the food out to you in their small dining room if you eat in. The food is well made and the choice of fish is large because the other side of the restaurant is a fish market. Worth a stop every time.

Excellent casual fish restaurant

Jan 2024 • family

This unassuming fish restaurant is attached to a fish market. It is counter service and they do a lot of takeout. They have a small dining room and will bring you your food after you order. There is an abundance of fabulous fresh fish options. The sides and soups are excellent too. This is a local favorite..

You've got to love fresh seafood

Aug 2021 • none

I grew up in the Caribbean and know the difference between fresh and not-so-fresh seafood.....and I was impressed by Gadaleto's. The atmosphere is informal and far from fancy. You get the impression that this is a place to do some serious seafood eating....and it is. The business is a top shelf seafood market which serves what it sells. Go in and turn left at the door to access the market and you will see the freshness and quality of their goods. The restaurant is in a separate ambiance to the right. You order at the counter and the very friendly staff will deliver to your table. We had terrific fried calamari and some very yummy oysters which were paired with a couple of frigid Stellas. Without doubt, this is one of the best seafood restaurants in the area....it's a keeper.

Dinners need work

Jul 2022 • none

Stopped for a meal last night in their "restaurant" section. I ordered the stuffed trout for $25. I should have asked what it was stuffed with as I assumed it would be bread stuffing or crabmeat. It came out stuffed with 5 lemon slices! Further, it came with a cup of drawn butter, which would be fine if I had ordered lobster. Silverware for the table was all in a metal tray for anyone to stick their fingers in and had but 3 forks (one with bent tines)! Further, their credit card machine asks for a tip when you pay and before you get your food. Not a good experience!

Nice Place, Calamari not so great.

Apr 2024 • couples

My wife and I stopped i the afternoon for a light lunch. They have a very nice menu, and they were very friendly and helpful. It's kind of a take-out place that sells a lot of seafood, and they also supply a lot of local restaurants. They have a nice room on the side with windows toward Main Street, that you can bring your food and dine near the windows. Since we were eating light, we decided on Popcorn Shrimp and Crispy Calamari, with a glass of Pinot Grigio. The Popcorn Shrimp were very good and the thai-chile sauce went really well. Unfortunately, the Crispy Calamari were were not crispy, and were like rubber. We were unable to break them down with our teeth. Assuming that since they were not crispy, I thought maybe they were not done enough and had them cook them a little longer. The breading got a little crispier, but they were still not really edible, so I still don't know if they were overcooked or undercooked. We may go there again, because it was a comfortable place with good prices and a good selection, but I will probably not try the Calamari again...

Fresh Fish, one of our Regular Restaurants

Jan 2020 • none

Oysters, Fresh Fish, and quality have been the reasons we are frequent visitors to this restaurant. We like to bring friends to share the menu. The restaurant is not “romantic “, unless you put real value of food quality over view. This is the real deal in quality fish prepared with knowledgeable chief.

Inedible SALTY SALTY SALTY CLAMS!

Dec 2019 • solo

Really wanted to make clams and linguini for our New Year's Eve dinner and was so disappointed with the VERY SALTY clams I got from Gadaleto's. It was entirely inedible. I had to throw away the entire meal. Such a disappointment to put so much time, effort, and money into a meal that ended up in the garbage. And embarrassing to have to explain to my guests.

The seafood place to go to

Dec 2020 • none

I don't know why we'd never tried at Gadaleto's before COVID. Since we stopped eating out at our regular places in March 2020, we decided to expand our horizon, and order out from new venues. Since we've discovered Gadaleto's, we just can't get enough of their takeout cooked food. Prime quality seafood, cooked simply and deliciously. Can't wait for them to get back after the holiday break! Yummm...

Can’t get fresher fish!

Oct 2019 • none

Four of us for dinner. Crab cakes were fresh and delicious! Entree salads were very large with good size portion of your choice of fish from the board cooked to your liking. All around a delightful experience. Excellent service too. Will be back!

Fantastic small seafood restaurant

Sep 2019 • couples

The restaurant is 12 tables next to the market. The food is amazing. The fish is always fresh. The fried oysters are great and we just discovered the amazing apple fritter desert. Love this place!

Where to begin? Visited 8/2/19

Aug 2019 • couples

Place is small as others noted. If one has to wait it gets crowded and you get hit with the entrance door in the back. No objection having to enter through the store and see all the fish. Actually interesting. While living in New Paltz for 14 years only visited the place twice and now again to check if my initial evaluation still is valid. Unfortunately it is. Place is expensive and for the price the amount of fish one gets on a plate is more like an appetizer. Had steamed mussels and grilled salmon with 2 sides. I will give it that it is very fresh and tastes very good. Steamed mussels would have been better in a different broth (was wine) and maybe should be boiled in that broth. Not their fault, it's their style to offer, just not my taste in mussels. As for service there is only one knowledgeable person (Friendly, curly tall guy, who can't keep up with everything) , who can inform you about the type of the fish, what it tastes like and make recommendations. There is a fish board, one has to get up for to read what is fresh/latest catch. Just how difficult would it be to type up a sheet on the computer , print it out and put it into the menu for the day? Our waitress was attentive and friendly, but had none of the main guy's skills. In summary, not enough value for the money AND needs attention to detail. Again, to be fair the fish tasted excellent, so did Cole slaw and salad (was not asked for kind of dressing we would like) but at these prices one has to overlook a lot to give it more stars than I did.

Delectable!! SO GOOD

Jun 2019 • couples

We had such a good meal here. We shared a not-so-simple salad (with beets, nuts and other good stuff) and lemon sole with garlic cream sauce, sweet potato fries and sautéed garlic snow peas. It was all perfectly prepared.
