Feast & Floret

About Feast & Floret

Feast & Floret sits at 13 South 3rd Street, just off Warren Street in downtown Hudson, in a 19th-century former blacksmith shop. The room opened in 2020 in the space that once held Zak Pelaccio's James Beard-winning Fish & Game, and reopened it as a warmer, regional-Italian table with a Tuscan accent. Chef Amelia Telč leads an all-female kitchen, making the pasta in house and sourcing heavily from Hudson Valley farms.

For Hudson's other tables, compare the Roman cooking at Via Cassia, the seasonal American kitchen at Swoon Kitchenbar or the global comfort food at Lil Deb's Oasis.

The Kitchen

Chef Amelia Telč cooks a seasonal, regionally Italian menu with all the pastas made in house. The dishes regulars return for include house-made tagliatelle with a slow Bolognese, a truffle-egg toast cloaked in melted fontina, bite-size arancini, inky squid-ink soprese with 'nduja, and a pan-seared steelhead trout from nearby Hudson Valley Fisheries. Sourcing leans on local purveyors — Kinderhook Farm, Blue Star Farm and others — and the cooking is comforting and produce-led rather than showy. Plates broadly run in the $25–40 range, with a focused Italian-leaning wine list alongside.

The Room

The room keeps the bones of the old blacksmith shop — exposed brick and beams — softened into a warm, candlelit dining room the owners describe as casual elegance. Service is relaxed and well-informed, the kind that suits a long dinner. It is an intimate, romantic-leaning space rather than a scene, comfortable for a couple at the bar or a small group over shared pasta, and a fixture of Hudson's Warren Street dining scene.
