"Not in a very long time have I ever tasted or experienced a great Italian restaurant like this one. We made reservations for 7:00 pm and got there a little early. place was packed like sardines)I put our names in to 'grandma ' she said, 'relax and have a drink, you are at grandmas, we are running just a little late but will seat you soon. ' I thought that was so adorable. We were seated and were met by the humor of our waiter, Nate! He was full of energy and very accommodating ! The food portions and taste were over the top! A sauce Sunday gravy) like no other! Calamari melts in your mouth! And the cheesecake was the size of a double decker cake! Get there and try all that they have to offer! Can 't wait to get back there! Definitely make reservations with grandma!"

"The shrimp fra diablo and the veal parmigiana were delicious. Our servers Sarah and Mike were exceptional, friendly and very attentive. This is our favorite restaurant in Schenectady. Great place to have a meal before a show and for a special occasion,"

Daley's On Yates

Fish • Soup • Pasta • Pizza

"In town for a show at Proctors. From out of state NJ. We had the special fish Halibut, fingerling potatoes, asparagus, lemon caper sauce. Lots of capers which was delightful. Halibut cooked to perfection absolutely delicious. Well done Chef. Priced just a wee bit high however the quality deemed this price acceptable for us. Not in Schenectady often however when in town next, will happily go to Daley's again want to try the French Onion Soup w/braised short rib (inside the soup I think) sounds wonderful. Our waiter David was polite, professional, and friendly very glad we took him up on the fish special suggestion and would take his recommendation again. Thank you!"

Sicilian Pizzeria

➤ 1505 Van Vranken Ave., Schenectady, NY 12308, United States

Fish • Meat • Pizza • Pizzeria

"OH. MY. YES. This pie is incredible! If you're craving a deep-dish pizza, this is the spot you absolutely need to visit—and it’s even husband-approved by a Chicagoan. The crust is fantastic: perfectly crispy and caramelized on the outside, with a slightly doughy and chewy texture on the inside. You can really tell that the pans they use have been well-loved over the years, which adds to the amazing flavor! We indulged in the pepperoni and pineapple topping, and it was loaded with cheesy goodness. Just a heads-up: don’t expect a traditional restaurant experience here. It’s more of a "pizza and good food, primarily for takeout" kind of place. They have three small tables and a cooler stocked with drinks, but the pizza is so hot that it will likely be just right by the time you get home. The owners and staff are friendly but efficient, and it’s no wonder why it stayed busy while we were there—this place is a gem!"

Peter Pause

➤ 535 Nott St, Schenectady, United States Of America, 12308

Pizza • French • Italian • American

"I wish I had thought to take pictures, because this place was absolutely phenomenal. Breakfast Platter, $14... three eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns, and a short stack of fairly huge pancakes. Everything was just about perfect, though I wish they could have gotten the hash browns a tiny bit crispier. For $8 they have a cinnamon bun French toast, which is this enormous fat cinnamon bun sliced into thirds and then prepared frenchtoast style. The omelettes are fairly large too. Only three real gripes. Number one, they do not have a gluten-free bread or toast option. It d/n affect me, but did affect a couple of other people in the group I was with. Number two, a side of corned beef hash was $8. Maybe that's a really huge side, but that's a pretty steep price, an entree price for a side. I ended up not getting it. I would imagine, that had I goten it, it would have been excellent like everything else was. Number three, there's syrup is just regular National brand quote unquote pancake syrup, and while they do offer real maple syrup, it is a $3 upcharge. But those were relatively minor gripes. The food is great, the service was fantastic, extremely friendly, extremely helpful, and very accommodating of special dietary needs (aside from tbe lack of GF toast) and food allergies, and willing to make reasonable substitutions were possible. A very good experience. Five people ate more or less like happy pigs for only $81."

Wasabi Asian Bistro

➤ 1671 Union St, 12309, Schenectady, United States

Soup • Sushi • Asian • Japanese

"This should be a 4 star restaurant in our opinion. We have eaten at most of the sushi and also Thai places in the area, and they are by far the best. Consistently fantastic quality, their service is great, and they are reasonably priced. I can't say enough good about them. I almost don't want to give out this tip, but if you are 21 or older and interested in Saki (which I am not usually a big fan of) do yourself a favor and try their black label in the small bottle. You have to buy what looks like a small wine bottle $20 and worth every penny. You can take it home after, if it's just you or u don't finish it. I don't even like saki but we loved that one. It didn't burn at all, and is made of all organic ingredients.. Don't usually get drinks w dinner there, but that was as good as their food. Top shelf"

Malcolm's-schenectady

➤ 617 Union St, 12305, Schenectady, United States

Steak • Noodles • American • Cocktail

"I just went to Malcolm's with a group of friends and it was incredible! I especially appreciated the creativity of the seasonal menu for this farm-to-table restaurant in January. Would be here all the time if I lived in the area! To start, we had a number of appetizers. Our favorites were the crispy brussel sprouts with bacon jam and the smoked ricotta with snap peas I had never had anything like it before but the ricotta was incredible, like a better version of hummus. The duck sope really stole the show though. It was so juicy with a handmade corn cake you could tell was freshly made. I loved the sope so much I ended up ordering the duck confit as my entree with a side of sweet potatoe puree, green beans, and beets and I am so happy I did. It was easily the best duck I have ever had, it just melted in your mouth. For dessert, we tried everything, the sticky toffee pudding, apple cobbler, and chocolate pot de creme, which honestly were all delicious. If I had to pick, I would say the vanilla ice cream on the toffee pudding was my absolute favorite. I heard they make it fresh on site. You have to check this place out!!"

Marino's Pizza

➤ 12304 Schenectady, United States

Pizza • Italian • Sandwiches • Delivery Services

"My family and I have been dining at Marino's for over 25 years, and we've loved every meal! The staff is friendly and efficient. The food is served hot and is absolutely delicious, with the pizza being among the best in the area! My personal favorite is the spaghetti with mushrooms; the portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The owners have stuck to a simple philosophy over the years: if you serve good food, people will come. And they certainly do—just the other night, the dining room was packed! Whether you choose to dine in or take out, just remember to bring cash since they don’t accept credit cards, and come with a healthy appetite!"

M Cafe

➤ 1754 State St, 12304, Schenectady, United States

Cafe • Asian • Chinese • Catering

"If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered from Uber eats a whole breakfast for 3 and the food was very bland, nasty and old, bacon was not bacon it was prepared bacon, the eggs was blan and my home fries was over cooked and the potatoes wasn’t even cooked and how could someone even think about messing up on hot coco but they did And my strawberry smoothie. The only thing that was good was the fruit bowl and again you can’t mess that up. Very disappointed and for the people lying about how good they food is, I know very well ya can see what’s wrong with it. Tell these folks the truth."

Dairy Circus

➤ Dairy Circus, 178 Sacandaga Rd,NY 12302, United States, Schenectady

Cheese • Burgers • Desserts • American

"This place is a gem. We went here when the line at Jumpin Jacks was winding through the parking lot. The food here was reasonably priced. We got a deluxe cheeseburger (delicious), a fish fry platter (husband LOVED it), and chicken fingers. The platter came with an entire bowl of coleslaw, which was a pleasant surprise. After dinner we got a push pop, small cone and medium cone. All in all we spent less than $40 for 3 people to have dinner and dessert. We will be going here lots over the summer. There was plenty of seating inside. A line did form after we sat down, but it wasn't out the door. The staff was super friendly. It was a great experience. Highly recommend."

Turf Tavern

➤ 40 Mohawk Ave, 12302, Schenectady, United States

Food • Grill • Burgers • American

"We ordered the Cherry Smash cocktail, which seemed to just have one muddled cherry in it and tasted more like whiskey on the rocks than a proper whiskey smash. I also ordered a cosmopolitan, which was priced the same as the craft cocktails, but I should have asked what their well vodka is. Nevertheless, it was well-balanced and nicely made. The bacon-wrapped dates were mostly filled with more than just a few dates, but they were overall tasty. I really enjoyed the French onion soup—it was definitely a highlight. For our specials, the homemade cranberry walnut dressing on the salad was sweet but had an unusual texture. I had the Maple Bacon Salmon, which unfortunately tasted primarily of watered-down sugar. The salmon itself seemed unseasoned before the glaze was added, and it could have been cooked just a bit longer for more searing and crust. The accompanying rice was quite bland as well. My husband’s special was the Veal and Shrimp served over pasta with a tomato sauce. While the pasta was cooked well, the dish lacked flavor overall. It seemed as though the sauce was added without draining the pasta first, which diluted the taste. The shrimp was unexpectedly breaded, but it was chewy and lacked seasoning. The veal was equally bland, and the side of cauliflower was dry and flavorless. Given the prices of the dishes, we expected them to be flavorful and creative, but we were very disappointed. I genuinely enjoy supporting local businesses, but I’m confused by the numerous great reviews this place has received regarding its food, especially since our experience was so different. I wonder if they cater to an older clientele that prefers less seasoning, or if it was simply an off day for the chef. We did complete the survey attached to the receipt but chose not to address our concerns with the waitress or request any compensation; we just wanted to share our overall disappointment."

"**Meal Type:** Lunch **Price Range:** $10–20 **Food Rating:** 4/5 **Service Rating:** 4/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 4/5 **Recommended Dish:** Prik-Pao Fried Rice I enjoyed a pleasant lunch at this restaurant, where the overall experience was quite satisfying. The food earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars; the standout dish for me was the Prik-Pao Fried Rice, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Both the service and the atmosphere also received a rating of 4, contributing to a welcoming environment that made my dining experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place for a tasty and enjoyable lunch!"

Point Cafe

Cafe • Coffee • American • North American

"Most excellent food and service. I came in for lunch, this was my first time. I was taken to a socially distanced table that was clean and had plenty of space to eat. The menu had plenty of options and contained both sandwiches and dinner plates. I chose the enchilada plate with beans and rice. It was fantastic with more than I could eat in one setting. I was offered a to-go container and it was just as good for dinner. I would like to thank the owner and her staff for a fantastic meal that was served hot and very timely. Thank you again."

Mohawk Taproom Grill

➤ 153 Mohawk Ave, 12302, Schenectady, United States

Pubs • Grill • Burgers • American

"Food was really good. I mean really good. Was not like most eat out places wear food is good but kind of generic. This was like home made from scratch type of good food. I had the a-aron and the chicken was super crispy and super tender Inside. I usually don't do fried foods but I'm glad I did here. The fried string beans were really good as well. My cousin loved her Mac and cheese and her husband liked his Reuben. Drinks were good and service was great. Our waiter was very accommodating and attentive. Service was quick and everything came out perfect. Definitely going back next time I'm in the area. Vegetarian options: There are a few items on the menu for vegetarians including their seitian wings which are meatless according to their website but are not labeled as that on their menu which they should be. Kid-friendliness: There was two separate parties there that had children. So I would say they are child friendly"

Wagon Train Bbq

➤ 671 Mariaville Road, Town Of Rotterdam, 12306, United States Of America, Schenectady

French • Barbecue • American • North American

"Wagon Train catered our wedding up in Lake George, and they did amazing! We had around 120 guests, and they provided all the appetizers and food. The buffet barbecue had the same high level of quality that a sit down meal in their restaurant has. So many of our guests complemented the food and wanted to go eat at Wagon Train. They were very accommodating--even providing accommodation for last-minute changes to our wedding. They provided so much food that our guests were able to take a lot home, and we had several Wagon Train meals the week after our wedding. Staff were very friendly, and they were even able to bus tables after the buffet was done. We would highly recommend Wagon Train to anyone looking for a great meal, or for anyone wanting a large event catered!"

Nikki P's

➤ 1045 Community Rd, 12303, Schenectady, US, United States

Pizza • Italian • Delivery Services • Sicilian Cheese Pizza

"What a great lunch spot just off the Schenectady thruway exit! Portions were large, prices reasonable, and food was delicious. We tried a fresh slice of BBQ chicken pizza, the broccoli salad, 3 layer turkey club on homemade bread, and curly fries. Everything was great, and I have a feeling that everything Nikki P’s offers would be! Fresh pizzas sold by the slice were coming out every couple minutes, and there were several varieties available while we were there on a Saturday afternoon. We grabbed some delicious looking desserts to go, and can’t wait to try those once we get home. Friendly service too! Highly recommend."

Canali's

➤ 126 Mariaville Rd, Schenectady I-12306-1429, United States

Pasta • Italian • American • Vegetarian

"My husband and I were on a date night while our daughter was at a kids night out event for a couple of hours. At first I wasn’t sure how the night was going to work out because the wait in between being sat down, ordering and having our meal served was quite extended. Our meal came out about an hour after ordering and it was well worth the wait because it was delicious and the portions allowed for us to enjoy it for two more meals the next day. If the meal had come out any later we would have had asked to pack it to go but from it’s taste it was made fresh and it was homemade. It all worked out perfectly and we recommend Canali’s to anyone who loves wonderful Italian food!!!!"

Sake Bon Ii

➤ 1702 Chrisler Ave, 12303, Schenectady, United States

Sushi • Asian • Fusion • Japanese

"My fiance and I had a late night dinner here last night and it was AMAZING! By far beats any other Japanese restaurant that I have ever been too. There is one in Latham that is very similar that we usually go to before this one opened, but this place beats that one by far! I had the filet mignon and chicken, my fiance got the filet mignon and lobster. The filet mignon was delicious and the chicken was out of this world! My fiance said the same about his lobster. Also, the broth and the salad that we started with was insanely good!! Lol. The salad dressing was so good that I literally drink what was left in the bowl after I finished the salad. I would love to be able to buy the dressing (not sure if they sell it or not). Our waitress was great,and so was the other waitresses that helped out. We went at 10 at night so it was just us and 1 other table so we had more than one waitress helping. And despite the fact that we went just an hour before closing, the food was still fresh as can be. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Very comfortable and relaxing. We will definitely be returning, especially since we live just a short 10 minutes away!! Soooo happy that they opened and I wish them the best of luck! I have no doubts at all that they will be very successful!! Highly recommended!!"

Ambition Coffee Eatery, Inc

➤ 154 Jay St, Schenectady, NY 12305, United States

Soup • Coffee • Breakfast • Ice Cream

"Absolutely fantastic! First of all, Ally is one of the best servers I’ve ever encountered. Her personality is truly infectious; I aspire to be like her in my everyday life. Now, onto the food! Breakfast was simply amazing. The quality was top-notch—seriously, the best pancakes I’ve had outside my own home. I even joked about calling them "Berry Manilow" (by the way, I’m a big fan of Barry Manilow too!). The bacon was cooked perfectly, the real maple syrup was delightful, and the coffee was excellent. There’s no doubt about it—this is my new favorite place for breakfast!"

John Riccitello's

➤ 1687 Foster Avenue, City Of Schenectady, 12308, United States Of America

"I was initially surprised when we arrived at this restaurant, but the locals quickly filled us in on what a fantastic place it is—operating for over 50 years! The service was prompt, the waitstaff were lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious, especially the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. We will definitely be back! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
