This is the best restaurant in Chemung County. The chef consistently hits it out of the park. The entire staff are masters of their craft. The owners are gracious and the ambiance is beyond charming. Do yourselves a favor and reserve a table this week. read more

Service and friendliness. Food is excellent and the place is very nice in a safe place. Everything was fresh

My daughter goes to Elmira College and each time we come up, this is a must-go dinner spot. Small and quaint family owned restaurant makes you feel at home in how they treat you and the quality food they provide. Pasta dishes are super fresh, Filet Mignon cooked to perfection and Salmon melts in your mouth. If you miss those places where you automatically get a side salad with your entree, then this is the place for you! Lastly, the owners do a fantastic job having seasonal cocktails on their menu that they create from scratch. You'll enjoy drinking the Grinch and walking out pleasantly happy read more

One of the best mom and pop style restaurants in the Elmira New York area. Excellent service with spectacular menu options. The menu does offer specials depending upon the season so the selection is never dull. The chef can specialize options to meet dietary needs. So not hesitate in experiencing this fine place. read more

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly server and owner. Easy parking. A local recommended since I was only in town for a few days.

Hidden gem in a residential area, recommended by our Airbnb host. Great food and friendly staff. Enjoyed our mojitos and Blackened atina and Eggplant Caprese. Both main dishes were wonderful. Would come again when in the area. read more

Unbelievably good food, extremely friendly and professional staff, and a cozy setting. read more

1157 North - Pasta and meat sauce. - Seafood Near Me - Elmira, New York

Solid Italian food price is on the higher side than some of it's competitors but the food is solid

Don't let the humble exterior fool you. This place has a beautiful interior with plush green seats and a warm glow. This should be your go-to spot for DESSERTS because they're all made IN-HOUSE. When I asked the waitress to compliment the chef for the amazing Bailey's cake, she told me the chef is an older lady who keeps the recipes a secret. read more

I love this place Lots of gluten free options too Drinks are also made well I'll be back again read more

We found 1157 North by accident. Located in a neighborhood. Comfortable seating. Server was so pleasant. House wine was fine to me, i am not a wine connoisseur by any means... if I taste it and like it, i don't care about the cost. Serving sizes enough for two meals. Bread was fresh and delish. Would def return if we lived closer. read more

What a disappointment. Went there for a birthday dinner in August. Wanted an upscale dinner for dad, reviews suggested this was a good spot in Elmira. Dad got the filet mignon - overcooked, not delicious. I should have known it was not going to be great when the server didn't ask how he'd like it cooked. I got the scallops with risotto. Scallops were mediocre, slightly overdone. The risotto was very disappointing, more like rice-a-roni. There was nothing risotto-y about this dish, none of the creaminess or silkiness you are looking for in risotto. I could have made everything we ordered better myself at home. Would not go there again. read more

Me and my children were in town for a college event. We found this place on Google and decided to give it a go. It's right in the middle of a residential neighborhood and at first I thought we had the wrong place. The inside was quaint with a retro 70's Italian restaurant vibe. Food was spectacular. The wings were breaded, which was surprising. But my daughter loved them. Our steak was perfectly cooked and tasty. The only thing I didn't really like was the pasta that came with my chicken. But other than that everything was great, and our waitress was sweet and did an awesome job. read more

It's a very dimly lit and tiny space inside and it sits in the middle of a residential neighborhood. We went on a Saturday evening, about 7pm, and there weren't many other customers. Inside is clean but very outdated, perhaps that is the intended ambience? Our waitress was extremely pleasant, nice, and checked on us often. Both my wife and I had an appetizer; chicken wings and spinach artichoke dip. Wings were just OK, only they were breaded so that threw me off a little. Extremely greasy though, dripping with oil. Spinach artichoke dip also very oily and bland. Ordered a flatbread margherita pizza and it literally looked and tasted like cardboard. Not good. First and only time we will go. read more

This place was great! I found it on Yelp, and made a trip to check it out. It was a bit odd finding its location as it was in a residential neighborhood. I wasn't sure I had the correct directions. This place was small, and intimate, with a nice little bar area. The staff was awesome and the food was good. Service was excellent. I had the Thursday Special which was a turkey, cranberry, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green beans TG Day type meal with outstanding creme brule for dessert. Definitely give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

After a long day of travel my husband and I found this gem of a restaurant! We both had the Delmonico steak dinner which was cooked to perfection. Mine was served with green beans and spaghetti squash and my husband had green beans and risotto. We shared a bottle of the house Pinot Grigio which was very refreshing. The service was outstanding. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. Thank you for a great evening! read more

Superior service, OK food, outdated decor I highly recommend the bruschetta appetizer. It was topped with mazzorella cheese. My husband ordered the vegetable flatbread appetizer and said my bruschetta was better. The salad was OK. The homemade berry pie was weird; the crust didn't seem right, like as if someone mis-measured the ingredients. The berry filling was good. I ate the filling and left the crust. Not impressive for a restaurant that brags about its homemade pies. I enjoyed the live music on Friday night which was in the second of three rooms. Different decor and room temperature in each of the rooms. Street parking. Residential neighborhood. read more

The food was fresh and amazing. The service team were all polite and welcoming. I strongly recommend this place for anyone local or just visiting the town like my wife and I were. read more

This restaurant is throwback to the 1970s in so many ways. Quite the time machine in that regard. That said, we had excellent, friendly, and efficient service--couldn't be improved upon really. Both of us enjoyed our dinner, filet mignon for me and scallops with pesto spinach risotto for my partner. I would eat here again in a heartbeat. read more

Great portion sized meals and amazing cocktails. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Crab Rangoons are the best I've ever had! They make a great mojito too! read more

Stopped by on a getaway and had an amazing meal. Great portions great food great service

Excellent food, great service...fish fry was delicious as was the creole shrimp and haddock..dinner salad was fresh with warm bread and oil/spices. Great wine and cocktail menu. This is a gem in Elmira. read more

We came here on Friday night for dinner. The service is great. Food is not great though. Bacon wrapped scallops is the only dish that is tasty. Garlic parmesan chicken wings is okay. We also ordered meatballs in marinara sauce. The meatballs are so dry and hard to eat. Salmon entree is also dry and blackened a little too much, it has the taste of charcoal. read more

Amazing selection of food and phenomenal service. It's a hidden treasure. Very reasonably priced as well.

Average food. Had chicken Parmesan and the breading was soggy and the chicken was rubbery in some parts like it was premade and microwaved. Homemade pasta was mushy. Sauce was ok as was the overall flavor. Wife had a filet that was cooked to temp was tender flavor again was ok. Sides were an afterthought. The slice of cake we shared for dessert was delicious. Over all for the price it should be better. Service was prompt and friendly no issues with the wait staff. read more

Fantastic Italian restaurant, easy parking in a neighborhood, excellent food and service. Ask for Lisa to be your server. Highly recommend! read more

See all

Absolutely love this restaurant, always homemade pasta with your meal . Since Morettis closed this is our go to place . If last minute or you want to make reservations they are always accommodating. The servers are always top notch and dinners and deserts are outstanding . It's a 5 star for my wife and I . Recommend this place to everyone. Can't say enough you need to try this restaurant!! read more

Good food and nice size drinks, the staff was polite and friendly. Definitely a place that I recommend and will visit when I Elmira. Locally owned so the food isn't microwaved the chain places! Give it try, you will like it!! read more

Not being from the area I had to call to see what was included with the fish fry. When I talked to Nancy the lady who answered the phone I knew this was the place to go. Not a far drive from our hotel and just a small little place in residential area. It really reminded me of a local place back at home called Mulberries that was on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. We walked in and Nancy greeted us from beside the bar with a kind hello. From start to finish the service was awesome. We had a fantabulously server Lisa! She had a great laugh awesome personality and one sexy smile. The homemade bread and dips with their accoutrements were top notch! I started with the clam chowder which was the best clam chowder I've ever had. Sometimes I find it too thick or not enough flavor this was the best, I felt like I was in New England. My main dish was the fish fry which came out piping hot with some homemade tartar sauce, fresh coleslaw, a lemon slice and the spinach pesto risotto. Being from Western New York, in my lifetime I've had a lot of fish fries but this is right up there as number one. The batter was Crispy with a great taste. They was a guy playing guitar, not to loud, with a great voice. ! Took dessert back to the room to eat in bed. It doesn't get any better then this! A+ 1157 North read more

Love the place. We didn't have reservations but they still welcomed us to a table. The food was superb and the atmosphere is super cute. We felt like we were having dinner in an episode of Mad Men or other of the era show. The staff all are so pleasant and friendly. It struck us as odd that it is in a residential neighborhood, but the drinks and food were awesome. We plan to work on becoming regulars. read more

We drove here after a long drive from Lake Placid...this is a small restaurant in middle of this residential neighborhood..you will be pleasantly surprised at how good the food is here..we had the shrimp scampi, pork chop special and Delmonico steak..all were perfectly cooked and very tasty..well worth stopping here if ur anywhere close...don't waste ur time with any other place read more

The food was amazing. We tried the calamari (one of the best I have tried), the pinchos, the chicken marsala with fresh pasta and the tuna. Everything was flavorful and cooked right. Kudos to the chef. Service was excellent too. We were happily surprised by the quality of the food as you will not know it from the outside. read more

Quick and very friendly service! We got the calamari to start which was fantastic. I got the shrimp scampi. Though most other shrimp scampi I've had was served with pasta instead of risotto, the risotto was delicious. It was a bit strange to me that they did not serve croutons with their Caesar salads. read more

Truly a neighborhood restaurant, as in the midst of a neighborhood with kids playing outside. Good food in a 1960's setting -- leatherette banquettes and all -- served by a cheerful waitress with a bouffant 'do. Decent wine list and a full bar, with locals at every seat. Stay with the Italian specialties. The homemade pasta with meat sauce, a meatball and sausage was perfect. The scallops were overdone; but they were not my first choice, I'd ordered the eggplant parm but they ran out, alas. An enjoyable dinner in a city with surprisingly few options. Oh -- they're open til 9 pm weekdays, 10 weekends, Yelp has it wrong. read more

Excellent food. Nice atmosphere and great wine selection. Came here twice with my boyfriend. This is a romantic atmosphere, especially when it's not busy. read more

I've been here twice and this is one of the best restaurants in the area. First visit was on a weekend. Our server was so friendly..... Edit: I have been meaning to post this for a very long time. I love going here. It's a small unique little spot that makes homemade pasta. For those of you in the back...HOMEMADE PASTA. If that isnt enough, they have fantastic appetizers and bread service. The service is beyond anything you will find in the area...and on the weekends, you'll be serenaded by the piano singer. It's like a beautiful little step back in time. The food is nothing crazy or exotic. I dont know if it's the atmosphere or somewhat dated menu...but if you close your eyes, it tastes homemade. Like something your mom would cook....and I mean that it the most complimentary way (I'd imagine not everyone's parents are as good of a cook as my mom is). I love going here. It isnt incredibly loud, the food is delicious, and the service is super personable. You cant go wrong here...I wish they were closer to my house!!! read more

Fantastic meal and reasonably priced - bread was soft and came with herbed butter, raspberry mojito was tart and sweet and very fresh (only $7!), lots of mussels with melted butter, home made pasta noodles were chewy and tasty. Don't miss the pesto and balsamic bruschetta (fresh cherry tomatoes!) and the amazing choice of desserts - we had key lime cake and chocolate bourbon cake. Excellent service - quick, friendly and informative. Thank you 1157 North! read more

Best calamari I have ever had! And service was excellent! Wine wasted bad either! Would go again for sure.
