"We sat down to our table and the servers must share … we had two and neither person introduced themselves. Just made us feel rushed when clearly we had some older individuals in our party that hadn’t even sat down yet. We ordered the antipasti which was two versions of super dry (sitting out old tasting) Parmesan and a few other things; and very hard cracker like accompaniment. It was not very good but we paid for it so we ate it. We had five people in our party, each ordered something different; and every single item was over cooked and poorly seasoned. The dish with prosciutto, I confirmed would be crisped; the prosciutto was thick sliced (which is not how prosciutto should ever be sliced) and flabby. The chicken on two dishes were dry, even with sauce and the walleye was so overcooked it was inedible. We’ve not eaten at Notos in over ten years because the prices do not match the food, ambiance or prices; but it’s still in business so we gave it another shot … certainly things can change in ten years. We were wrong. We are not big complainers, or wasteful people, and none of us had eaten all day; so we did eat our meals. However, we will never go back."

"My hubby and I stumbled on this place in 2015 when we were dating. In 2016, he took me here after he proposed to me. In 2017, before our wedding, he brought all his friends who had traveled down to enjoy dinner before the event. It has been a part of ourmost beautiful memories. The portions are beyond generous, and delectable!!! I?m also gluten-free, and there are so manydelicious options. I also highly suggest the gluten-free garlic bread dipped in the olive oil mix, it?s divine!! They can be alittle cheeky if you show up before they open. Even 5 min before they open. They know they?re good and can do that lol. But onceinside, the service and food is well worth the wait. From our family to yours, thank you La Famiglia! Until next time."

"We held a baby shower here recently and it was a wonderful event. The Inn is so beautiful, and our guests were very pleased with the delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. The staff were accommodating and kind so very helpful. We were a good size crowd with several babies in the mix, and the chef surprised us with mac and cheese for the little ones. The adult menu was able to be gluten free which was a must for our group. We had home made ice cream sundaes for dessert which were amazing! The fact that a group of almost 40 could have an entire wing to ourselves made the party a smashing success. Of all the facilities I toured for this event, EFI was the most reasonably priced AND the most beautiful setting."

"Villari’s Lakeside has always been a fantastic place for fine dining. Food is always delicious and the service is always excellent as well. Our entrées were prepared perfectly and nicely flavored. we enjoyed the filet Oscar and the short rib Ragu with pasta. Our server was quite attentive and make sure our table was well served. We highly recommend dining at Villari’s as you’ll be sure to get a delicious meal to enjoy."

"I have been to Biagio's many many many times and love the ambiance, the food, the employees, etc. That is why when I saw Biagio's now has a Brunch on SundayI and my friends were very very excited. What a big disappointment their Brunch was. Brunch wouldn't be complete without its breakfast roots. You can expect to find classic morning dishes like eggs Benedict, fluffy pancakes, waffles, and French toast. These breakfast favorites are perfect for those who crave the comforting flavors of maple syrup, melted butter, and a hint of nostalgia. Brunch is usually like A buffet Style or chief manning an egg station. Biagios brunch was nothing that this. I would go back for drinks at the bar, dinner with friends but absolutely not Brunch and I would not recommend Biagios for a Brunch"

"Love the small restaurant feel. Always enjoy the food. My friend had eggplant parmigiana which she said was superb. Large portions, we both took some home. D was our server, he essentially is a one man show and is very friendly and provided excellent attentive service. We did not have dessert but it is good. Try a cannaloni or tiramisu, it wonât disappoint."

"This is not the same restaurant I came to back in October or even prior to Had the Chicken Carbonara and it was less quality. What happened to the spaghetti pasta and the fresh sauce (egg and cheese mixture they used to prepare right at the table) and pancetta? Even the sweet potato side wasn't the same. The service is not quite up to par either. Our waitress was nice and helpful but why do I have to tell anyone we need to clear off dishes at our table? The server comes out with the appetizer and is looking at us to rearrange?? Then again with our main course. No one even asked if we were finished with our oysters when we were and have this big plate on the table with no room for our main course. Either get bigger tables or the staff should be aware to remove dishes when there is obviously no room. Don't look to your customers to figure it out. I had to scramble to find room myself. This used to be one of my top places to dine. I will have second thoughts next time"

"This is the first time my wife and I have ever walked out of a restaurant. Party of 2, arrived at 6pm for a 6:30pm reservation. My wife and I enjoyed a drink at the bar, which was excellent. We were then seated outside at 6:30, and things went downhill. We saw 2-3 servers/staff stop and look at us but no one, no one, said anything to us, let alone greet us. It was a gorgeous night and we were chatting so we didn't pay much mind. After a bit, however, it was ridiculous. My wife went to the hostess stand. We were quickly given some bread and waters. It was 7:05pm. We were told the manager and a server would be over in a minute. At this point we were done. At 7:08pm we had it and left, opting to walk a short distance to Lib's Grill. On the walk over I called the restaurant to ask why we were ignored and spoke with the manager. While pleasant and apologetic out night out was compromised. She said they were short staffed and had several large parties that needed attention. We were very much looking forward to a good night and what looked and smelled to be great food. The manager asked us to come back and she would give us a $25 gift certificate. I said we were there for 38 minutes at a table, in the front to boot, and were completely ignored. Why would we walk back? In this day and age, completely unacceptable. Shame on Galliano, thank you Lib's Grill for a terrific meal and outstanding service!"

"I'm a return customer for a reason. I've had chance to try many of the meals and all of the desserts. Everything is prepared perfectly and is a top tier dining experience. We tend to sit in the dining room, so cannot address the amenities of the sports bar side of the house. The menu selection is always eclectic, from the elegant simplicity of a perfectly executed burger to the exquisitely prepared braised lamb shank. The cocktail and spirit selection provides a variety to suit any palate. Any one of the desserts would bolster your mood and energy and allow you to go on a mighty quest to save Middle-Earth (or your local community). The service is always well executed, allowing ample time to finish multiple courses. The staff is pleasant, prompt, knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend the experience."

"We used to love Libertores has been disappointing last few times- last night prompted me to write this. Keep in mind we consider ourselves regulars- however the owner has got to recognize us since we recognize him- yet treated like strangers every time. That's the start- drinks....we got our bar drinks( wine and a beer) glass of water- never once did the server come check to see if we needed a refill- until we were ready for the check-Bread- is this a new rule? No refills just 4 slices for 2 people- we are Italian- bread is a huge part of the meal. Sauce- since we are repeat customers- we know that the side of pasta is always dry- so we asked for a little extra sauce- got 2 tablespoons full....and was up-charged $2.00!!!! TWO DOLLARS FOR TWO TABLESPOONS!!! No even a ladel full... BTW- we were there at 4- only patrons in the place- to say disappointed is an understatement- during this time where people chose to spend their hard earned money and get a value meal- you may be better off cooking at home- cheaper and more delicious. just saying."

"We recently dined at Gola for the first time. The food was fine (the fresh pasta is great), but the value wasn’t there—a single medium-sized piece of veal with no sides or accompaniments was $36. To add a bit of pasta to the plate is an additional $8 — hardly a great value. The food could have done with some more flavor development or seasoning; the flavors were all fairly simple. If you’re looking for elevated Italian in Ithaca, I’d recommend Taverna Banfi over Gola. If you’re looking for more basic (and potentially overpriced) Italian food in a nice environment, Gola fits the bill."

"I had a fantastic brunch experience overall, rating it a 4.5 out of 5. Jamie, our server, deserves a perfect score of 5 out of 5 – he was outstanding. The restaurant has an a la carte menu, which is not my favorite style, but the prices are very reasonable. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes, potatoes, and sausage, and the portion sizes were just right for me – enough to satisfy me without overeating. The potatoes were absolutely delicious, the best I've ever had. I don't know what they seasoned them with, but I almost wanted to order more. However, I managed to resist the temptation! For brunch drinks, I tried the pear bellini and mimosa, which were a bit bland but did the trick. It seemed like the drinks were pre-mixed and served from a pitcher. Besides the amazing food, Jamie really stood out during our meal. He was quietly attentive, able to gauge the mood of our table and provide service at just the right times. When my friend and I were having a private conversation, he respected our space and did not interrupt. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great brunch experience."

"This place was a real find. The decor is warm and inviting, like being part of a family. The food was a distinct cut above the usual North Jersey Italian fare, and the portions were generous. The wait staff couldn't have been nicer. We're definitely going back--and bringing friends."

"Our servers were very attentive. This was an anniversary and I noted it when the reservation was made. I think my husbands fish dish was overpriced $51. He said the taste was ok. As a vegetarian, I tried one of the few options, mushroom ravioli. Definitely not fresh pasta as the dough was a bit thick. Ok flavor. I had the chefs special salad which was greens with beets and slivers of almonds, some goat cheese, and a vinaigrette.. it was nothing spectacular. The greens were drenched and therefore really limp. But I decided not to do anything. Something was lacking in it. I remember this restaurant differently from in the past. I felt like this time it was a little more generic and just something was missing. I can’t place it. I’m not sure that it would be our first choice to come here next time. I think there’s probably better places where we can spend $400. I think you should try it because everyone’s taste is different. Perhaps there’s other things you’ll find on the menu that’s suitable to your taste, but the staff was great. I have no complaints of the staff. I do wish that there was a few more vegetarian items on the menu especially because that area seems to be an area where many vegetarians live and I have a feeling they avoid this restaurant."

"Atés del dia Era el 60 aniversari del meu pare i vam decidir celebrar-lo en aquest restaurant. La veritat és que va ser una gran elecció. Cada plat que vam provar estava deliciós i el servei era impecable. Ens van fer sentir com a casa i van fer que la nit fos inoblidable. També ens van sorprendre amb una postre especial per al meu pare, el qual va estar encantat amb tota l'experiència. Sens dubte tornarem aviat. Molt recomanable!"

"We have been to Fratellos twice in the last 2 months. Service was good , food was average. I ordered the same meal both times and the second time it had probably half the amount of eggplant on it. While it can be a great local establishment, at this point the facility could definitely use some updating. Its dark and dingy and could be so much better."
