Many people have been turning their heads as they have been passing the once abandoned restaurant building off Route 9 right by the intersection of where St. Andrews meets Albany Post Road. A lot of movement has been going on around the building, and many folks are questioning what might be coming in.

What is Rose E. Ricotta in Hyde Park, New York?

New signs have gone up on the restaurant building that resides next to the plaza in Hyde Park with Darby O'Gills, Park Beverage, Giggles, and Subway. The building was once Cocoa's Italian Restaurant. Prior to that, it was famously known as Easy Street Café.

At first glance, Rose E. Ricotta looks like a knock off of Chuck E. Cheese, which the Hudson Valley already has in Poughkeepsie. When you Google "Rose E. Ricotta," nothing comes up besides ricotta cheese recipes. So is this a brand new start-up company?

Some Hyde Park residents haven't been too happy to see this. Several have said on Facebook that Hyde Park doesn't need another Italian restaurant - especially a chain restaurant - and that people should support what's already here. Others were saying it looks tacky, and it gives off Five Nights and Freddy's vibes. So, what even is going on?
