I write this with great sadness, what was my favorite Italian restaurant in Auburn has greatly disappointed me! Every Sunday I make my family a big Italian meal, with Mother’s Day they wanted to treat me to take out. I ordered Penna Alla Vodka for $19. What I received was a small black container (about half full) with Penne and almost No⬅️ sauce, looked like day-old pasta. I doubt that it was, it just had sat long enough to be completely dry, there was no sauce on the side, it did have bread but none of the dipping sauce. And of course their meals do not come with salads. I would say the total cost of my meal was a $1.50. ☹️ Bring back Guillermo
One of best restaurants in all of New York. The appetizers and wood fire pizzas are delicious. The raviolis are handmade and stuffed with a good sized portion. The entrees are rustic in plating style but the taste is excellent. Had the veal scallopini, marsala style. This entree had an exuberant amount of mushrooms overtop the veal, which is lightly breaded. The sauce is not overly sweet the key to a good marsala. It also came with a side of spaghetti with a traditional sauce, I love that the pasta was cooked al dente, wrapped that to go because I wanted dessert. Lastly, enjoyed a larger than any other restaurant portion, creme brulee; my favorite! You can sit outside when the weather is nice and enjoy some excellent Italian cuisines and also live music. GODERE!
Delicious Italian entrees, prepare to leave in a food coma!
This place has a great atmosphere. You can sit on the rooftop and enjoy the view. The food is incredible and the service is pleasant and quick.
Just had an amazing lunch. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.
Awesome. Food was just right - excellent. Service was great. Beverages - yum. Dessert was amazing. The owner was very happy to see us.
Gluten free pizza and pasta! Very elegant yet unassuming atmosphere - comfortable, nice, and good food. Perfect for a date night, when family is in town, or a night out with friends. The wine list is great and the desserts are excellent! I gave it 4 stars because the last time I was there my pizza had no flavor - like the sauce was flavorless. Ill stick with the gf pasta
This is a great restaurant! The menu is full of favorite Italian dishes. The wait staff were kind and attentive. Fair prices for the portions. And the tiramisu was awesome and definitely made there.
This is a very pleasant experience. The dishes are plentiful and seasoned perfectly.The soups homemade and the salads are also delicious.
The restaurant had alot of good features and a few not so good.My husbands lasagna was excellent, my specialty drink was excellent. Our table was located in the bar area, near the stairs, which was not a problem. But the issue was the adjacent bathroom door remained open when not being used and the toilet was on full display to the guests eating dinner. Yikes.Our waiter was very attentive and worked hard to satisfy. Thank you.
We enjoyed the Caesar salad with shrimp, the mixed greens and the mushroom pizza. The salads were wonderfully fresh and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The pizza was of the wood-fired variety and was also delicious. We rarely order dessert but since everything else was so good... we tried the tiramisu. It was also light and delicious. Top shelf place.
We had a very nice meal here the other night. I loved the shrimp francese with gluten free pasta. My husband enjoyed the cavatelli with sausage. My brother-in-law said the lasagna was very good. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. Our server was attentive. Their dessert selection was lacking. We will dine here again!
Ordered from Uber eats and the sauce tasted like it came from a can and food was very bland. Shrimp was clearly boiled or Steamed and not grilled.
Awesome service & the food was so delish
I only gave this one star because I had to in order to post. I understand we had a party of 10 but I have never had worse service. 30 min wait for a drink. Our reservations were for 530 it was 800 before we even got our food. Seafood was overcooked, anything fried was oil logged, pizza was cold and burnt, some people got there food a good 45 minutes before the rest of us. Never returning
This is my go-to restaurant. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and attentive.
Great food and service!
We found that at Osteria’s Restaurant sometimes there maybe a problem with service but they will correct it if they know of itIt’s hard to hire good people right now. That said the food IS ALWAYS 5 stars. The Salmon, the Veal Marcella, The Pizza to name a few and everything is always nice and hot. Can’t wait for our next visit 👏👍
Horrible over priced also gave me honey mustard with my Caesar salad and paid $24 for ravioli dish that only gave me 3 ravioli and a bunch of mushroom…don’t waste your money
Our first visit was outstanding and well definitely be back. Delicious food and excellent service.
Food always very marginal . Nix the lasagna and veal .Go for the wood-fired pizza and a salad . Service good and nice atmosphere.
My family and I went here over the weekend, for my sister’s birthday. We ate, and the food was alright. What wasn’t alright, however, was that, as soon as I left the table to pull up my car, not one, but two waiters (40+ years of age) proceeded to make romantic verbal advances to my fiancée. My fiancée and I are in our mid-twenties. It was apparent that we were together - we entered the restaurant together, held hands, and she has an engagement ring on. She told them that she had a fiancé and they both were visibly upset upon hearing this. One even went after her in order to offer her his hand and make more conversation. She told me all of this upon entering the car, saying that it was uncomfortable and weird, and I re-entered the restaurant, asking for the manager. I spoke to a couple of half-witted waiters who pretended to be oblivious, and told them that this was unacceptable; upon describing them to my fiancée later, she confirmed one of them was one of the harassers. All in all, incredibly unprofessional and wildly inappropriate for older waiters in what is supposed to be a decent establishment for families and relaxed nights out. We won’t be returning to this place, as long as they employ disgusting/pathetic waiters such as those previously mentioned.
Nice brick oven pizza!...great music
Excellent upscale Italian cuisine in a nice, modestly upscale environment. One of the top two most authentic Italian restaurants I have eaten in - more than one employee had a substantial Italian accent.My wife had a combo of little necks in the shell, mussels in the shell, calamari, and a half lobster. It was over pasta with an excellent earthy-seasoned sauce, unlike any Ive tasted before. I went with the far more straightforward lobster ravioli, which was equally good. The creme brulee was completely smooth and nicely flavored. This slightly pricey dinner was an unusual treat for us - but OMG well worth it!Bonus - They make one of the top 25 pizzas in NYS - which we had when we went back the next night! Obviously far less pricey for dinner - but equally well worth it!
Best Pollo Picata I’ve ever had. Outdoor dining, wonderful service! We will travel back to eat here.
My husband, children, and I, love going to Ostería Salinas. Good environment, great customer service. Food is good and price is reasonable. We go there very often. Very nice restaurant!
Always a good choice if you want a relaxing medium priced delicious meal. Probably my favorite Italian restaurant in the area.Excellent staff, portions, and atmosphere.Wood fired pizza oven, nice wine and beverage list.
We eat here regularly as the quality of the food and service is stand-out. The grilled calamari is incredible - my fiance is from the Mediterranean coast and our meal, the live music (on a Tues) and service reminded him of home.
The food and service here are absolutely incredible. We celebrated my mom’s birthday here tonight and they made us feel so special. Also my sister said their cannolis were better than the ones she had in Sicily. We truly felt like we were in Italy.
Great food including awesome woodfire pizza. Good service , good prices for the quality of Italian food
It wasn’t a welcome I received from the waiter. I didn’t bother to wait until he comes back to take my order. Other that then that the place looked quite authentic.
Nice menu. Good atmosphere.
Decent Italian cuisine. Our waiter was attentive but not aggravating. The cocktails were good, and the outdoor seating was perfect on a nice day.
Great authentic food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere, if there were more stars to give I would have
Bernardo is the best bartender on earth. Check them out and order something off the cocktail menu.
Fantastic food. Great service. Every time. A gem.
Amazing authentic delicious Italian food. Excellent customer service! 🙂👍 A+++
Had an absolutely amazing time with amazing food tonight. There were six of us girls and the staff could not have been more attentive! They made it a very special evening for us. Thank you!
The portions were plentiful, the food was good and the staff was attentive. I was looking for more authentic Southern Italian type cooking, as when i was in Italy. I have no complaint about the food, in fact the olive oil with spices served before the meal with bread was scrumptious. I felt some dishes could have used more garlic
Made a reservation for 5 people 2 hours ahead of time and got a table. Food is excellent and the atmosphere is great
Tasty steak. Great service
Excellent brusetta. But no canoli s.
Amazing food. Amazing service. What more needs to be said?
I only rate places I love. The Osteria has an elegant, big city, even cosmopolitan clientele and service in a small city. The Italian dishes are well and expertly prepared. Try linguini frutti di mare. More frutti di mare, moderate portions of pasta. Impeccable service. Awesome food. Good cocktails. Dig it. [Dating myself.] This is a really nice restaurant.
Place is excellent, Service was great very nice personal, food was very good hopefully someday we will return.
We had the perfect evening at Osteria last evening. Service was impeccable, food was amazing and the timing of serving different courses was wonderful. This is a restaurant that should not be missed.
The Osteria was open in early July when they clearly should not have been. The waitstaff were frustrated because the issues came from management (and, as usual, the waitstaff had to take the brunt of customer displeasure). The restaurant was not prepared for customers. It took forever to get our food; 1 order was 100% wrong (and fed pork to a vegetarian) and another involved uncooked ravioli. It was an absolute disaster.
Fresh, delicious food, great service. It was like a visit to Italy. Sidewalk seating.
Great margherita pizza and other stuff.
Fabulous lunch! The food is delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was perfect! Thank you Milton!! You were wonderful!
Great food and service. Friendly staff. Great place for a special occasion.
Great food, came out and sang to our birthday twins
Came here for my birthday and the staff was so incredibly nice. Awesome experience and great food!
The food was excellent! Service was good but not all dinners were served at the same time so we waited to eat until everyone had their dinner which made us uncomfortable. We had a table by the door which is not good in the winter time!
Worst Italian food I’ve ever had I got chicken Marcella that was extremely runny and the chicken was very slimy we got a fire roasted pizza that tasted like it was out of a box no flavor absolutely horrible The only good thing that we had was the free bread would never go here again for people that are truly Italian their food definitely does not show it And furthermore I googled the name and it showed up they were the same Italian restaurant that was in Destiny USA that me and my husband went to on our anniversary they ended up paying for our bill because the food was so disgusting and we were there for three hours worst experience ever I think this guy really needs to quit trying to serve food because it is clearly not his specialty!! Do not waste your time or money go to Santangelo‘s min Liverpool!!!They are amazing in their Italian food was on points best Italian food I’ve ever had in my life!!!!!
Food and service always excellent
Take out and still made me feel at home offered me some wine on the house while I wait. Wonderful atmosphere music and the smell of the entire building was amazing!!
Having wedding reception here..good food service....
Food is amazing. The service is a at a level I thought had been lost. Keep up the great work here. We will be back!
Delicious food! Service was excellent and we were given ample attention by our server. Highly recommend Sunday dinner since its easier to be seated even without reservations.
Excellent food and service! The environment was very relaxing and enjoyable! Highly recommend
Food and service was very good. When bartender gives back your change he seems to like keeping the coins and only give back bills.
Love it. Food is better than NYC. Wait staff superb. Prices in line with great food & selection.
Extremely pleased with experience and food. Attentive staff and delicious fresh food.
Poor service. Horrible tasting, sloppy food. Only thing good is the location.
Great experience, nice atmosphere, good food. Great place for a mid range family/friends dinner. Recommended by locals. Loved it
I LOVE THERE FOOD, great prices, and Service.
Excellent food! Great service! Authentic Italian dining experience! We will definitely be going back!
The coffee and biscotti here are excellent in the cafe section, which I visit on occasion. Nice atmosphere with a helpful & friendly staff. I took my fiancee here for a full dinner and was overwhelmed by the quality of the food, the friendliness of the service and the atmosphere. The bathroom was clean. Delicious Italian entrees. Very pleased with this restaurant.
Great food and service, !!!
Poor service. The food was very sub par. Not horrible, however my steak was basically something from waffle house but cost 3x more.I do not recommend at all.I understand covid with poor service but the food was terrible especially for the price they want.
Always a great dining experience
Amazing food and customer service. My Wife and I had a very romantic evening there. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who appreciates great food. Keep up the good work!!!
Great food great service. Kitchen a little slow so we were there longer than expected. Still a great experience.
We had an excellent meal that even impressed our out-of-town family. The service was very good, the portions were generous without being obscene, and the visit, overall, was quite pleasant. Defo no Italy recommend giving it a try.
Excellent food. My family had lobster ravioli, veal parm, and mushroom ravioli. Everyone was very satisfied.
Nice place for Auburn. Way better than the SYSCO slop they serve @ parkers owned by a guy that hates Auburn
Food was pretty good. Excellent service.
OMG! Food and service excellent! Lovely outdoor dining. So good to get back to eating at a restaurant again after being shut in for so long.
Nice atmosphere. Lots of good choices on menu and delicious food! Good service. One of our go-to places for dinner
Horrible service. Worst in history. Cant imagine how they have gotten so many good reviews when my friends and family have been disappointed by the service to an extreme on several occasions. Have even had neighboring tables express their disbelief at the horrifyingly slow and terrible service. Bad bad service. If your okay with a 2-3 hour dining experience with little to no attention from the wait staff the food is semi-decent.
Add this Osteria to your exploration of Italian cuisine in Upstate New York and the Finger Lakes. I dropped in for lunch and cant imagine why I would continue to the library. I cant ask for a cappuccino at the library. Nor would I expect to be cheered by a fire burning in the pizza oven. The library has a gorgeous, mammoth fireplace, but it has been fitted with an electric fire. Toulouse and the Paris Soccer Club compete on the big screen above the bar, sound off. Italian love songs remind me that Valentines Day approaches. The family who run the restaurant take a quick lunch together before real customers arrive. Put the Osteria on a list with Gustos and Morros Table when thinking about downtown Auburn Italian dining.
Delicious food and great ambiance. Had the Mushroom Ravioli and one of their wood-fired pizza. Both were excellent. I look forward to returning and further exploring the menu.
Would give this place a negative 5 star review if I could. We have had 3 horrible experiences here. why we decided to keep going back is that the food is decent. Buy never ever again. We have talked to other people that were also waiting there and have had the same experience as us before. We also just had a group of people try it and said they would NEVER go back again. One couple waited for 15 mins just to get menus. We waited 30 minutes to get our drinks. INSANE! so if you have 2-3 hours to burn on dinner go here. otherwise try another place. OH, this is my first ever review on google. But I am trying to save others the wasted time. Piss poor management coming from a large corporate business owner myself. We have many other 1 star reviews coming for this place for the other 9 people that have tried it and had the same experience.
We have dined there several times and never been disappointed. An extensive menu, well prepared dishes, good service and an ambient sound level that allows casual conversation. A very fine restaurant.
Nice people awesome service
First time i ordered wood fired pizzas, I had to wait 15 minutes past the pick up time I told them I would be there. This time, they burned my fig pizza. I am done with this place. Will look elsewhere.tried it again and it seems they realize the more servers the better had a great meal and very good service
One of the most authentic Italian restaurants I haver ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Great food and excellent service. I would go there just to watch the bar tender entertain the customers.
Just stopped in after being next door, reviews confirmed... The food was fantastic! We were the first ones in and the owner? Was very very kind and gracious as we ordered and ate at the bar. Great decor and the meatball sauce was amazing. Really liked my tortellini soup and the lady had a gluten free penne with meat sauce, cooked perfectly. Will recommend to any and everyone we know who is in the area. Bravo!
The Milanese Salad is a great way to start. The pasta specials are great!
Our table got wine, Cesar salads, white.wine mussels, lobster ravioli, tortellini Bolognese, and GLUTEN FREE pasta with vodka sauce. Everything was delicious and out server, Lauren, was excellent. They have a good selection of regular menu options offering gluten free pasta and pizza on request. They also have daily specials that sounded delicious when we were there. The prices were also very reasonable!
Awesome food and the staff is polite and attentive. Highly recommend.
We were Not disappointed....This restaurant came highly recommended....From the front to the back of the house....a Well oiled machine...and it shows....Everything was on point....Thank you....We had a Great Datenite😊
We ordered the filet mignon, lobster ravioli with scallops and lobster added on extra, meat lasgna, and the chicken special. The food was good the service was ok. We arrived at 5 pm so it wasnt very busy.
Great service, delicious food. The atmosphere is beautiful as well.
Nice little place,the food just wasnt for us.
My girlfriend and I love this place and we have introduced many friends and family to it the service is always friendly, quick and professional. The food is the best part, their specials, pastas, raw bar and even pizza are well made and full of flavor. Their homemade ravioli is unreal, get the lobster or mushroom.This place actually has the best pizza Ive had in Syracuse. Homemade riccota, fresh mozzarella, quality meat, great crust and delicious sauce, you should give these guys a try.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, great server. I cant praise this place enough. Absolutely delicious.
Wonderful atmosphere and very well done Italian food. The drinks were also very well made and the Bernardo is a nice unique cocktail that was a pleasant surprise.
Absolutely fantastic Sicilian style food. Everything cooked fresh from scratch, so there may be a wait, but so worth it. They definately know what theyre doing!
Food was fantastic, service was outstanding. Cant wait to come back.
I had the opportunity to enjoy this new restaurant in Auburn (Where Spirits once was). I had a few messages of How was it and figured I would post my review.The Look - 100% completely remodeled (tasteful, classy with exposed brick charm).The Food - Lots of great dishes with a light healthier feel.The Drink - Plenty of wines, Imported beer list is limited.The Light - Perfect warm level of lighting (Not dark, but not bright).The Space - There is plenty of tables but some of the couples tables seem too close.The Cost - I think the prices were decent. When I walked in, I expected the prices.Comparisons - A larger Bambinos Bistro (Same owners) with a slight increase in quality.Greatest Feature - I noticed they installed full faced french doors across the front. I see their space extending to outdoors seating in the summer. I think this is awesome placement on a Brick street feel. Reminds me of many great restaurants in Italy.Overall - I enjoyed it and thought the place was done very well. The Wood Fire Pizza was a nice touch and added to the look. I would suggest you try it at least once.Negatives - Not kid friendly (Sorta Expected).
Service was terrible. We were one of two tables and after waiting for a half hour, I had to speak up and ask for someone to take our order. After we finished, we had to put our card on the edge of the table for the waiter to see, because he was busy flirting with the hostess. Food was good otherwise.
Employees very rude to doordash drivers 👎🏻
Had a pizza at the bar. Food was excellent. Bartender was very polite. Good atmosphere
The service was top notch. We loved all 4 of our dishes and got a complimentary cannoli! Definitely will go back.
Osteria staff always friendly, professional. We had steak and shrimp on this visit, perfectly prepared. Desserts are great
Excellent food
Very nice. All aspects of dining experience was spot on.. Great young man as server...
Good service, good portion size, good tasting food and decent pricing.
This was my 2nd experience, the first one being wonderful.I was anticipating another great meal but was terribly disappointed. The service was good, the food horrible. I ordered the veal special which had artichokes, sun dried tomatoes and asparagus. Sounds good BUT the sun dried tomatoes were overwhelming and the sauce tasted like water.Im not sure that I will try it again
The consistent outstanding food and service is truly the finest Ive ever experienced. I drive an hour out of my way to get there whenever possible!
Great environment, not only for a couples, but family and friends as well, with friendly staff, clean bathrooms and dining areas with very good authentic Italian food. Highly recommend anyone to try it out!
Waited 1 hr for entrees which were just warm at best. Taste ok. Dont order seafood platter for 25.00 lobster was not good. Wont go back.
Great dinner w/a great friend. Warm & inviting place. Had linguini w/meatballs. It was delicious!
Super friendly staff, great food, and some fancy drinks, all in a nice setting.
The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. We cant wait to return!
We cant wait to go back. We had a wonderful server, Lauro. Couldnt do enough for us. The food is outstanding.
Extremely friendly and passionate staff. Beyond pleased with everything from service, food quality and even plating!
Fantastic Italian restaurant. Impressed you had broccoli rabe. Perfection!
Atmosphere seemed a little bland (though probably above average for Auburn, NY). Appetizers were just okay. Entrees were great. Was there for a work outing so we had a very large party on a weeknight. A few entrees were sold out. 4 stars because its in Auburn. If it were in a larger city with more competition, I might have rated it at only 3 stars.
The food is fresh and very favorable. The staff is very understanding and helpful.
The amazing food and fantastic service. Most highly recommend!
The food is excellent. Best Italian within a 50 mile radius or more. I was amazed.
The food was good. The waiter Marc was inattentive, lackadaisical, and worst of all rude. Took him over 15 minutes to bring us our drinks. The poor service brought down the whole experience. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
Wonderful food! Servers here are top notch.
Horrible horrible.. I have come here now 4 times and this being my last service is rude horrific ..takes forever to get your food ..and poir excuse for Italian cuisine..do yourself a favor and try lacas
Very disappointed, 3 items on daily special menu - not available @ 5pm seating. No kidding, waiters had No Clue.Raw bar - Not open as advertised
Favorite place in Auburn-fantastic atmosphere and decor. Food and drinks are delicious-try a Bernardo - a delicious drink created by Bernardo, the bartender.
Very good with the exception of an overcooked veal chop. Staff was wonderful
I have been to this restaurant many times. And while the food is good and the drinks are sometimes great. The service is often horrible. Last night was an exceptionally bad representation of that. My group of 6 was left outside for well over an hour without anyone ever taking our order or checking on us. The people next to us were complaining about the service and how long their food was taking. And considering nobody had even taken our order at this point we decided getting food was not an option (how disappointing) as it would take too long if it ever came at all. We spoke to the table next to us and they said the service there is always horrible. But when I finally got up and went inside to pay for the one round of drinks we got in the nearly 1.5 hour wait. There was not a single patron in the restaurant and the wait staff was simply standing around. It was clear they had no intention to service our table. Pathetic. We will not be back and we will warn all our friends. Do not eat at this place unless you have a ton of patience and time to kill.
Amazing food ! Great Atmosphere!
Absolutely horrendous service. Marc incredibly rude, scattered brained and didnt seem to care very much. Good food though! Good job to the cooks.
Happy with the service and the meal was delicious. Also the atmosphere was inside was very warm.
Fantastic and well worth the drive. Best Italian food in the Syracuse environs.
The service was excellent! The food was out-of-this-world delicious fantastic!!
Bianca Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, Ricotta, Dried Figs & Fresh Basil is the best pizza I’ve ever had
Service..service..ssrvice...Good food wth some different twist on certain items..lots of vegetables in recipes..nice portions...busy place but attentive to customers.
Top notch service & atmosphere! Food is amazing! A gem in Auburn, NY.
🖒 Service was great. Great food Ive been here several times and every time its been a pleasure.
Ordered Pizza and ravioli both were good. Ambience is good as well.
Good food, great service, tip well its worth it
Great good great service great atmosphere everything we have tried here is excellent authentic Italian food and delicious we had a wood cooked pizza last night awesome
Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Another addition to the renaissance of downtown Auburn.
The best penne with vodka sauce, period. Awesome staff too.
We were in Auburn for our granddaughters softball tournament and had our Great Dane with us. Wanted a pet friendly restaurant so our daughter found Osteria Salina through Bring Fido. Great call.Nice outdoor dining in a trendy block.The food was amazing. I had the lobster ravioli. My wife had the polenta with mushroom appetizer for her dinner. The others had penne a la vodka, chicken Francais and chicken parm. Large portions of delicious food. Cocktails were great too. And our 110 pound puppy was treated like a member of our party. He got excited every time the young man came by with water.
Excellent Italian dining! Low key, high quality
We went to eat at Osteria last night. The service was AWFUL!!! We had reservations 2 hours in advance, and there was no booth set aside like we requested. The waitress NEVER smiled, it took an hour to get our food, and by my standards, as an Italian, a nice Italian restaurant should at the very least have parmesan on the table, if not directly offered to have it grated over your food for you. It took so long for them to bring us our check after whisking our food away, that we had to flag down a busboy to have it brought to us, and then we still had to walk it up front because the waitress never came to retrieve it. Although the food was good, the portion sizes were small and dinner didnt come with salad or sides. We VERY disappointed! I have never written a restaurant review, but felt it was necessary to warn other consumers!
The food was okay quality. Luke warm considering how long it took for it to come out.Service was extremely slow for a Wednesday afternoon with only 2 tables occupied. Server would regularly disappeared to the point that I would have to look for her.Fiest time customer probably wont give it another try.
Delicious! Appetizers, entrées, and dessert were unbelievable. Staff was courteous and attentive. The lobster ravioli and the tiramasu were personal favorites!
If youre looking for dinner in Auburn dont pass this place. Authentic Italian homemade food like no place else
My huaband & I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary last night there. Superb Italian restaurant! The food, cocktails, staff and atmosphere was excellent! A hidden gem in Auburn NY. Bone appetit
What a wonderful restaurant, definitely a foavorite!
A different and exquisite flavor 😊
Yummy pizza and salads for lunch. Want to go back for dinner.
Delicious, big portions ! Delicious red sauce !
Food and service are awesome!
Great food, atmosphere and excellent service. We will be back.
Family atmosphere. The best Italian restaurant around.
Pizza is great. Sat outside.
Excellent food, amazing service, a fabulous authentic Italian restaurant in the gateway to the Finger Lakes!
Rooftop seating.....great service.
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE ! I just wanted a crepe, so I went into the crepe enterance and sat there for 20 mins...no one came and asked us what we wanted. A waiter came in for coffee and did not ask us what we wanted or acknowledge us at all. There was a room of screaming children running in and out of the restaurant into this area. We finally walk over to the restaurant and ask the hostess for assistance and she says “I’m in not sure we are making crepes right now....” after making a face at her, she went to find the magical unicorn that knows how to make a crepe. The bartender FINALLY came over to take our order. So frustrating. I would have dramatically left, but crepes are life so I had to stick it out. Not planning on returning unless these crepes taste like unicorn tears. We shall see.
The food was okay but the atmosphere, drinks and kind gesture from our server made the night wonderful!
Great food superior service
Wonderful Italian Cuisine and atmosphere.

Atmosphere incredible...Fine dining
Great atmosphere and food!
Food is four stars. Lost two stars for service by Lauren.
Very nice place, food great!
Service was really bad. Very unfriendly wait staff and no one came to take our order for a long time or ever check-in. Left a damper on the meal. Food was just ok.
Love everything about this place.
Always Fantastic! Our new favorite!
Overpriced. Spent 80 bucks on dinner for 2. Went home hungry
