    Chicken Parmigiana ehhhh
    JJ G.

    Overrated. Your average modern Italian restaurant. There's a lot of loyal local customers. I found it to be blah. The chicken Parm cutlet is a chicken breast cut in half bread it as if it was fried chicken, the breading was so hard the crust and thick it overpowered the thinly pounded out Chicken meat. It was over sauce. I tried to peel off the bread which was sticking to the chicken like glue to only get nasty little bites of chicken so long story short it's more breading than chicken even though they give you two pieces of the chicken that they cut in half not a good experience Not good Italian food

    Shave steak sandwich. Stale bread. No condiments.
    Harrison G.

    Ordered a shaved steak sandwich and a pizza to be delivered to my house. I'll start with the positive. The food was delivered at the time promised and the delivery person could not have been nicer. Unfortunately, that's where the positive part of this review ends. The pizza crust was undercooked and doughy. Sad because their pizzas are usually very good. The shaved steak sandwich was even worse. The ingredients were basically thrown on two pieces of stale Italian bread and sent out. I'll include a photo and let you judge for yourself. If I worked there, I would be embarrassed to serve this. Especially for $14.00 and a $2.00 delivery fee. Food is always better when you eat it there, but they really need to try harder on the take out orders.

    So so good!

    this place is Absolutely amazing!, we've been here 3 times now and have LOVED EVERYTHING every single time! the tuscan chicken is phenomenal! Drinks are wonderful too! great place! With great staff! Definitely a 5 restaurant.

    food is rather boring and awfully expensive and if you ask, is there a Canale's on the premises there never is one.

    The food was not appetizing. Did not taste how it should've, was very disappointed. Only giving two stars because of the nice service.

    Riverwalk Pizza - BBQ Pizza (without the red onions)

    Simply put, I would not eat here again. The concept is great - think Chipotle pick-your-own…read moreingredients meets pizza. But on execution... there was a lot to be desired. All three pizzas were undercooked in our opinion - the cheese was sloppy and while the crust was nicely cooked, each felt messy - wet, if you will. And the "roasted garlic" on the Arugula Pizza was actually *raw* garlic, and WAY too much of it. My pizza was nearly inedible; I had to deconstruct it to take much of the garlic off so I could eat a few slices. We took the cheese pizza home and finished cooking it in our own oven the next day, but it kind of defeated the point of going out to eat if we had to finish cooking it.

    We have tried Riverwalk Pizza a few times- the first go was pretty good. The pizzas are relatively…read moresmall and if you order delivery as with most pizza places you are most assuredly going to receive a luke warm pie. Meat lovers is my go to. The most recent order was disappointing- I ordered a meat pizza with onion and the onion arrived raw. Def didn't make it into the oven. Oddly enough trying to call the establishment is difficult so the next day I drove down to ask- is raw onion something new? The rather young team at the time looked at me collectively dumbfounded and one young lady apologized and that was about it. Pizza for the most part and in my opinion, is an art. Really good pizza is really good pizza and consistency is everything. Will give Riverwalk a rest for a while and stick with Pizza Villa!

    We have tried most pizza joints in Oswego- and none of them quite hit the mark. Cold upon arrival-…read moreraw onion tossed on the pizza prior to arrival (oops we meant to cook it) or just crappy pizza! So we decided to try Pizza Villa and we are pretty happy with the pizza. It is on the thicker side which presents a small issue that I will address- but the flavor was great, toppings abundant and the baked wings were delicious. Heading home from Liverpool we called and placed a pickup order. Meat pizza with onions and an order of plain wings- crispy. Staff that answered the phone were great and informative and after a "give us about 30 min" I hung up the phone and headed their way. Arrived to lots of smiles and happy staff making pizzas and wings and told them we had not had great experiences with other places in Oswego- and they said "well we hope you love ours" Got home and dug in. The pizza and sauce (just the right amount) is delicious. I had asked for it to be well done as we generally prefer thin crust, theirs is pretty thick, and they obliged. The wings were really great and fell off the bone. The only criticism I have is that due to the thickness of the crust, it wasn't cooked through and was doughy. They seem to cook the pizza in a pan in the oven and it doesn't have direct contact with the oven (that is what I saw) so perhaps the pan is keeping the crust from cooking through? Not sure- but it was the only draw back. It wasn't horribly undercooked just enough that it was noticeable. Other than that- great taste, great experience and we will be back!!

Fresh ingredients, delightful flavors, a curated menu and freshly made deserts! We have frequented this restaurant each time we are in town and truly. It never disappoints.

We shared the fire roasted wings too which were amazing! I had a cocktail- which sadly I cannot remember the name of but I do know that it has my favorite gin- Empress. Red Sun is one of the very few restaurants in Oswego to carry this delightful brand- and it makes me super happy! Laurie the owner, has been in business for quite a while in Oswego and also owns the delightful Port City Cafe right next door as well as the new and exciting Lorbird in Fulton- another amazing experience. We were so fortunate to meet and spend time chatting with her and let me say- this lady knows her stuff. Most inspiring is that she knows her customers and their tastes and she knows how to be successful! Red Sun is an absolute must when visiting Oswego- you won't be disappointed!
