No complaints, but I was hankering for their amazing lasagna. It was....you guessed it, amazing! Frank's food, service, prices, and atmosphere all encourage you to keep coming back.

First of all the restaurant was gorgeous. I loved the Christmas lights outside. The food was…read moredelicious. We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer and it was very good. For an entree my wife ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce and a side order of shrimp. It was terrific. I ordered the ribeye. It was pretty good. I would say average. I think the onions could have been sautéed a little more but that is just nitpicking. It was a very good steak. We had the blueberry cheesecake for desert and it was great. The service was absolutely second to none. Our server was tremendous. Really elevated the dinner. Our only complaint was that it was a little close seating and there was a very loud gentleman sitting next to us who was swearing and being lewd. Normally doesn't bother me any but didn't like it during my anniversary dinner (and in front of my wife). We will definitely be back.

What a hidden gem! As good an Italian meal as I've had in a long time. How after 33 years we never…read moreknew about this place is beyond me. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is that they were out of a couple of things (didn't affect our menu decisions).

This is our local pizza/bar/music joint for the past 15 years. So I'll rate it on the local…read morepizza/bar/music scale. Food first, pretty good if you avoid the frozen crap like fried shrimp, fried cheese stuff. The prepared dishes that they make are pretty good. Every once in a blue moon they do a pastrami sandwich special and that is phenomenal! Katz deli kinda of phenomenal. The pizza is fairly meh. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it mushy with 1/2 cooked dough but usually it's ok. The bar scene is pleasant but the mixed drinks are small. They have a decent selection of beers. The decor is standard for a local pizza/bar/music establishment and the staff has always be attentive in my experience. The manager is a great guy. They usually have a band or group on Fridays ranging from local talent to some pretty serious high quality acts. Always fun and it's not an expensive nite out so thumbs up for that.

Downtown Owego doesn't have a ton of options but this is on the bottom of my list…read more To be clear this is not supposed to be a classy restaurant with fresh food. It's just a local pizza place with dated ambiance. Using that as perspective, the food used to be decent (1-2 years ago) but now the quality has decreased and the last time I ordered... and it will be the last time... the sub par food was barely warm. The wait staff hangs out by the register area drinking sodas and refused to make eye contact with me when I went up to pay the bill. Hello??? Customer with cash here!!!! Can I please pay??? Please??? I understand businesses needing to cut down to save money but maybe that's just me trying to make an excuse for them. What I don't understand is poor service on top of poor food in a dismal atmosphere. It's like they just gave up.

So, I was invited to a wedding shower at the Sons of Italy in Binghamton, NY. I was absolutely…read moreunder the assumption that we would be heading to an Italian restaurant but! The Sons of Italy is similar to a VFW or American Legion. It's a very non-descript banquet hall with a kitchen in the back and a bar. It also looked like it had a downstairs but I didn't go down there. The staff couldn't have been friendlier an the food was absolutely top notch and served family style. There were three courses: pasta with pork, salad with oil and vinegar dressing and green beans cooked with garlic, potatoes with rosemary, and chicken Marsala. Dessert was provided by the hosting party. The hall comfortably sat about 80 people and there was a lot more room to be had!

I know it was only take-out but what an amazing experience!…read more The online ordering through the restaurant website was really easy and it gave me a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $30. I was shocked at the 45 minute wait time for some chicken wings but, I saw how busy they were when I go there. I loved the atmosphere when I walked in. It was busy at the bar and restaurant but no one was waiting for a seat. That's a great sign. Immediately, I was asked if I had an order. I told the gentleman I could wait but he went back and put a rush on the wings. Within 10 minutes I had the wings, and an apology for how long it took. Although, it was well before my 45 minute pick up time. The parking lot is a bit cramped but there's not much room to expand. Besides, they have been there since I was a kid. The wings were so good. They came with blue cheese, celery, and carrots. Overall, this place is well above 5 stars. I can't wait to dine in and visit the bar side. Great service and I hope they stay open for another 40+ years.

We were seated right away by the friendly staff, and our drink orders were quickly fulfilled. The Italian menu is extensive and from our choices, delicious.
