First time here. Very busy on pasta night but Lydia, our waitress, and other staff stayed on top of service. Lydia was friendly & positive despite also working the bar. The atmosphere was cozy. LOVED the rolls with fresh roasted garlic!! Also enjoyed our chicken pamesean and lobster ravioli. Will definitely be back!

The waitress Juanita was wonderful! We had spinach lasagna and a glass of wine each. The moscato was extremely good and I kind of wish I had a second glass. Portions were good for the price we paid and don’t get me started on the awesome bread service.

Delicious food clean excellent service. My husband and I spent the weekend in Penn yan NY and this resturant was minutes away from our Motel. When we arrived the hostess explained they were understaffed. You would never have known!! The service we received was the best I ever have had. The resturant was crowded. But... no waiting! All the serves were working as a team so we had more then one server as did everyone. The food was delicious I recommend the chicken Riggies and you have a choice of spicy or non spicy. I chose spicy and it was the right amount of spice. I had a lemon drop cocktail. I highly recommend. The house salad was delicious and once again your choice of greens. I recommend the baby greens nice and tender. We ordered teramusu to bring back to the motel.(sorry no pic) which was the real Italian teramusu. The right amount of coffee and cream and a nice big serving.

We went to celebrate my son’s 30th birthday and had an amazing experience from the minute we walked through the door. With the stone walls and old wood features it took me back some of the small restaurants from my trip to Italy. OMG! The garlic bread!! Roasted garlic cloves to spread on top! The chicken piccata was to die for! My son and his wife are vegetarians and had plenty of choices. They had the Bianca pizza and the Kale, garlic and cherry pepper pasta. We also had the Spicy Chicken Riggies, and the Italiano pizza. All were very, very good. And as you can see from the dessert photo, we didn’t enjoy it at all! All were decadent!! Thanks to Heather, Ashley and the entire staff for making this such a great experience!

Italian American classics worth every calorie. The garlic bread was TO DIE FOR. Clams with white wine and garlic were incredible. Fresh Caesar wedge. The fra diavolo was quite devilish with a KICK. Super yummy and friendly service.

The food was fantastic. Drink selection superb. Kids' menu items were on point for the little ones in our group. The atmosphere was cozy, but it definitely got loud at times, and it got hard to hear across the table if you had a large group like we did. **Reservations definitely recommended**

I was looking for a restaurant while traveling through Penn Yan, and I found Union Block. The reviews say it all. The food is fantastic as well as the service. We enjoyed Lobster Mac and Cheese and Chicken Parm. I had a hard time selecting with so many great options on the menu. They serve excellent garlic bread with whole garlic and olive oil, all covered with parmesan cheese. Delicious. They also have excellent wine and beer choices. Our server Ashley was great. We did not have a reservation for our party of 6, but they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday. Night. I would come back again. Loved it!
