    What a great find in Binghamton. Tucked away in an unsuspecting parking lot, Caffe del Corso is a surprisingly chic and relaxing lounge. The moment you enter, the atmosphere shifts; the interior is filled with plants, creating a very calm and comfortable vibe. They feature a very well-stocked bar with a wide selection of liquor and craft drinks. I had the espresso martini (which was fantastic), and we also shared a vegetarian pizza. The pizza was decent, but the drinks and ambiance were the real highlights. I would definitely consider popping in again when I'm in the area. It's a perfect spot to unwind. My only wish is that they had a few more items on the food menu!

    Came here with friends for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is tucked away in Olum's shopping center. The decor is simple and clean. The service was adequate but could have been a bit more attentive. It took awhile for someone to take our orders, although it was very nice that the owner eventually came over and did that. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend the veal Milanese although everyone enjoyed their dishes and for the most part cleaned their plates. The appetizer special was delicious. It was a burrata with peaches, arugula, and candied walnuts. The only complaint anyone had was regarding the steak, which my husband ordered rare but it was medium well. The taste was good, but it wasn't cooked to his liking so that was disappointing. The desserts were good but the slices of cake could have been accompanied by some whipped cream. As for cost, between drinks (3 people had alcoholic drinks) appetizers, dinner and dessert it came out to $500 for 6 people (which includes a generous tip). The dinner prices are on the higher side for the area, but life is short so why not so treat yourself once in a while! All in all it was a very lovely dining experience. If I could give 4.5 stars I would.

    Beef carpaccio. Sooo good

    Finally getting around to reviewing this phenomenal place. Hands down one of the best meals I've had! Everything was perfect from the apps to the wine to the main course. Can't wait to get back again.

    Really enjoyed this place. They were sadly out of the pizza but the panini, fries, desserts and frappe were all really good. So glad they have a place like this open. Will be back again. The seating area inside isn't that big so if you're a large party I'd check in with them in advance. Its chic decor and the Nutella donut with orange zest was a hit!

    Tried the dinner service with my family. We were the only customers there for a while (I think this probably had something to do with it being the week between Christmas and New Year with the university on break) and the atmosphere felt a little awkward due to it being just us in this dimly lit place and our waitress being very soft-spoken, and it was also a long wait for our food, or maybe it just felt like that due to the dead atmosphere. The food, when it came, was amazing and worth the wait. I got the spinach ravioli with garlic chive funghi cream sauce and tried a little bit of the spaghetti al frutti di mare. The sauce in my dish had a great flavour and the mushrooms were cooked to just the perfect tenderness. My taste of the frutti di mare was also delicious. I was underwhelmed by the portion size of my dish (5 medium-large ravioli), but the other two pasta dishes were heaping piles of pasta. Dessert was fantastic as always. I would come again for dinner or lunch. I've been back for lunch since my first visit and also stopped by once to grab a dessert to go, and the lunch experience was again enjoyable and a welcome change from other places you can get a quick lunch in Vestal. The dinner experience with sit-down dining service is very different, but I would endure the slight awkwardness again for the good food.

    The food I've had here ranges from 3-5 stars. The salads feel a little basic but some of the other dishes I had were extraordinary (e.g., roasted duck polenta special). Therefore, I'd say the food is generally good here, so you probably can't go wrong, but perhaps not everything is a knock-out. I also really enjoy their selection of drinks. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but their lavender lemonade and smoothies are delicious. No tea, though. The service is fine, but the experience is a little bit awkward. You order at the counter and check out immediately, then sit down and wait your food to come out. This works in a fast casual restaurant, but for a sit-down restaurant it causes a couple of issues. First, you have to input a tip in the PoS before getting served, so the customer is forced to figure out a polite rate without the service being given yet (or pay in cash later, if you have cash). Although it wasn't my experience, other reviewers mention that they paid for food and never got served, so this also hurts accountability for the server. They should have a separate process for dine-in if the food isn't being served at a fast casual pace so orders aren't lost. The main thing that brought my review down a star are the prices and the menu. First of all, some dishes are quite expensive for what you get and specials usually don't indicate price, so I ordered an appetizer special thinking it couldn't be that much, only to be surprised it was $20. Similarly, the item names are in Italian, which is not unexpected, but if you don't speak Italian, you'll be wasting a lot of time trying to Google the name of every dish just to figure out what to eat. By adding a short description or translated name in the menu, that confusion could be eliminated. Overall, it's a place I wouldn't mind visiting again.

    If you're looking for a slice of Binghamton history served with a side of old-school Italian charm,…read moreCortese Restaurant is essentially a local landmark. Since it first opened its doors in 1947, it has been a staple of the community, maintaining a vibe that feels like a step back into a more classic era of dining. Here is a breakdown of what makes this "East Side Institution" a must-visit: The Atmosphere & History Founded by Angeline Cortese and her sons, the restaurant has remained in the family for nearly 80 years. It's the kind of place where the booths are cozy, the lighting is dim, and the service is professional yet warm--making it just as suitable for a milestone anniversary as it is for a casual Friday night pizza. Menu Highlights The Homemade Sauce: This is the heart of the kitchen. Reviewers often describe the sauce as perfectly balanced--tangy with a hint of garlic and a natural sweetness from vine-ripened tomatoes. It's rich without being heavy, and it coats their fresh, homemade pasta beautifully. Veal and Peppers: A standout for fans of traditional Italian comfort food. The veal is tender, and the sautéed peppers add a sweetness that complements the savory notes of the dish. It's a hearty, authentic choice that showcases their "from-scratch" philosophy. Mozzarella Sticks: Forget the frozen variety; these are a fan favorite. They are hand-breaded and golden-fried, often served on a sampler platter or as a standalone starter. They are exactly what you want: a satisfying crunch followed by a perfect cheese pull. Baked Clams: Prepared in the classic "Oreganata" style, these are a sophisticated way to start your meal. They come topped with seasoned breadcrumbs and a touch of lemon and white wine, capturing that seaside Italian flavor. Tiramisu Cake: No trip to Cortese is complete without dessert. Their Tiramisu is light, airy, and layered with the right amount of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone. It's the perfect, not-too-sweet finish to a heavy meal. Pro Tips for Your Visit The "Hot Pie" Pizza: Cortese is famous for its unique rectangular pizza. The sauce is tangy, and the pepperoni is tucked under the cheese, which prevents it from getting greasy and keeps the flavor locked in.

    Don't sleep on this place. The name fits, because I consider myself a foodie and I'm picky about…read morewhat I call good food. If you're sick and tired of chain restaurants and fast food and always hoping something unique will pop up that actually tastes amazing -- this is it. Take your time when you come here. If the chef has a moment, talk with him and listen to how he describes each dish and where he learned to make it. He lights up when he talks about his food, and you can tell he's proud of the awards he's earned. I wish I were in town longer. I ate every bite as slowly as I could, then ordered another dish to go because there are so many great options. I had the Rahm Schnitzel and the Pasta Carbonara -- you can't go wrong. Everything is made from scratch, so it takes a little time, but it's more than worth it. I even tried to tip him and he wouldn't let me -- in today's economy! What a genuine guy.
