This place was perfect. Catered to a larger group of people. We all had a great meal and drinks. Didn’t mind us hanging out afterwards and chit chatting. Food was excellent and you will have leftovers. Thank you for a great evening.

It's a classic place, and the staff is friendly. Pizzas are delicious and freshly made. They have specials and are pocket friendly. The ambiance is cozy, and they have a huge variety and options to offer as toppings.

I only dropped service to 4 stars because of the wait at the table. They may have needed the extra time to cook the food which was amazing! First time trying red snapper and their wings and onion rings were a catch as well!

Excellent food. Over from Ithaca for a tournament. Meatball parmisain, steak special, spaghetti, ravioli. Very good including the canoli. Prices 9-13 but filled us up. Very friendly staff and clean

My family and I have been coming here for years whenever we are in town visiting. It's a spot that we always love coming too and enjoying lunch or dinner. Service is always wonderful and friendly. Food comes out in a good time. Food has always been delicious when we've gone. Today was my first time trying the cannoli and to my surprise the shell was nice and crisp a nice crunch. I was worried that it was going to be soft and stale. The cannoli was fully filled. I'm not too sure if they made them there or get it from a local bakery. I'm actually meant to ask but forgot. From pizza, pasta, sandwiches, calzones, wings just about everything is always fabulous.

I got the special veggie and sausage penne, so good. My friend got the fish with fries. The food looked dark because of dark oil. We've worked in restaurants for years, so we know. Friend said it was fine, but not great. Service was pretty good, considering how busy they were. We ate on the bar side so we could enjoy the band.
