Stopped here for dinner on a Friday night after 3 days of cycling the Erie Canal Trail. It was a…read moreshort walk from my hotel. It seemed that most of the business was take out - there was only one other party in the dining room. Menu options were nice and service was attentive. Beer selection was a bit limited for me, but I'm probably an outlier in that regard. My pasta with chicken was delicious!

Traveling through Little Falls for work and stopped in to Italian Feast to grab a bite to…read moreeat....and what a feast it was!! I ordered the Hats & broccoli and the dish was enormous! Came out piping hot with enough food for at least two people! I couldn't even finish it. It was preceded with a salad and garlic knots, which were lite and fluffy; but had I known how large the meal was going to be, I would have forgone polishing off the two garlic knots. Service was friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. It was a Sunday nite; one of the few places open in Little Falls; and there were a few families in there

This is a hidden little secret we found in Little Falls. It's apparently just opened and has the…read morebones to be a great pizza joint. It was very warm inside, I'm sure the oven doesn't help, but not an issue they shouldn't be able to overcome. Also to be picky, why do restaurants insist on tacky planted half dead plants all around??? Ok, but pickyness over, the food. I had a figgy piggy pizza, delicious!! My husband had a calzone, his criticism was less ricotta, more mozzarella, as well as a side of sauce for dipping. (Which when we asked, they did provide). I really loved their dough!! All in all we will definitely recommend and return.

We made it to Mangia on Canal days looking for a bit of yummy lunch. This is a regular stop for…read moreHometown Pizza before at least one of our houses. It's under new ownership, but actually has gotten even better than we already thought it was. People were friendly, even though it was a busy time with the festival right outside. You really can smell the Woodfire oven bringing so much to the space along with the clean cut seating. We got our pizza and decided to sit outside. The garlic pizza we got was very yummy and being able to choose a couple toppings ourselves made it feel very personal. If you are there during the regular menu, you have to try the figgy piggy.

In the area for a few months helping out family, they suggested Ripepi's for a birthday dinner…read more Reservations are preferred since it is a small place with few staff. Very friendly staff, however, and nice ambience (old-school but comfortable). Had so much food-the fried zucchini were absolutely delicious, baked lasagna was huge (and came with soup and salad), special of the day was lemon parsley haddock with lots of side options, and a birthday treat of cannolis and strawberry rhubarb pie. Be aware they are a cash only place. Will go again, have to work through the menu!

It was my first time visiting Bella Vista. They serve Italian food, and I believe during lunch…read morehours, they serve burgers and fries. During Xmas month, they serve a drink called Tom and Jerry, which consists of eggnog batter, Rum, and Brandy. That drink was delicious. I had the Seafood Linguine, and that was pretty good, but I've had better. I would order something else on the menu next time. My coworker ordered a Delmonico steak, and it came with a baked potato. She said the steak was cooked right and very tender. All dinners came with roasted peppers, bread, and salad. The salad was mediocre (Iceberg lettuce, black olives, onions, tomatoes). In my opinion, I do think their dishes are overpriced compared to other good Italian restaurants in the area. The service was good. If you're in a hurry, it is not the place for you because our food took an hour or longer to come out. They have a big dining area and a tiny bar area. It is cute with the Xmas decorations, but overall, I think they should update their dining areas. They also should have a well-lit parking lot for safety reasons.

First off, I love pizza. Good pizza especially, but I can tolerate almost any pizza. This is…read moreliterally the worst pizza in the area. I couldn't eat it. Threw it in the garbage after giving the dogs the cheese. If Ed's and Mangia are a 5 star (which they are) then this is a negative one star, literally below the pizza at the Walmart in Herkimer. The dough is crap. Why can't they use a good 00 pizza flour like Ed's uses? The cheese - that has to be the driest cheese I've ever tried to eat. The toppings we bad. The sausage - we also got a sausage grinder. No way thats real meat. Freeze dried crumples ARE NOT Italian sausage. How is this place even in business? Are the patrons people who've never had pizza in NYC, Chicago, Detroit, New Haven, or Italy? Just horrible. Save your money. Buy a Totinos for 2 bucks at Hannaford before you try to choke down this excuse for pizza.

But I purchased since no salad came with dinner. I received a spoon full for $2 . A box cost .88. We also purchased olives and cheese. Very salty. Was given free bread, very good Sauce was a sweet sauce. I personally do not like. But chicken parm was good. My husband ordered frog legs. He loved them but only got 4. I knew he was still hungry so I gave him the rest of my chicken parm. I was not taking home anyway. The ambiance was nice. The white curtains on main window with yellow water stains were not pleasant. Glad we tried the place but will not return.

This is regarding the owner's new Ristorante Maya on Seneca Turnpike in New Hartford. It was…read morerecommended we make reservations so we did for a Thursday evening. Food is quite good, but I think they are still working out a lot of kinks in managing the dining room. We arrived early but waited to go in until reservation time. Parking was not available so another patron had parked on the grass and we parked next to them. Once winter arrives, I think ppl will end up have to park down Seneca Turnpike and walk back. The paved area isn't sufficient for a full dining room. It is a very modest bar, and a small dining room. There were ppl in front of us who were walk-ins. They mentioned one staff member told them it would be 20 minutes and another said two hours for walk-in. We figured it wouldn't be long for our 2 person reservation. Hmmm. I don't think anyone in particular is greeting patrons or managing reservations. The wait staff seemed to be pitching in as they could. The walk-ins (in front of us in line) were seated at a 2 person booth 20 minutes after our reservation. We objected as the other part of my party had been seated on a Saturday evening, very close to reservation time. The staff member said the walk-ins were waiting longer than those with reservations. As they should. We were seated after an hour past reservation time. Larger parties were seated on time after us, they had reservations 30 min after ours. Those tables had previously been pushed together for a party earlier, and staff didn't separate them for smaller parties that had earlier reservations. We were seated at a small table in front of the kitchen door. Food was quite good. We ordered wine as we arrived to the table as well as the meatball appetizer. Eventually someone stopped with menus. We ordered when someone else stopped at the table. About 50 min later, the entrees arrived. We did get our water glasses refilled. I had ordered haddock and it was fresh and very good. My friend ordered a fresh pasta dish, which was good, although not exactly as they ordered it. During our last hour there, (the owner) Christian Maya's father stopped to speak to us and he had checked in with us a couple times after the entrees were delivered. We really appreciated that attentiveness. So I took a star off for the reservation issues. I took a star off for gaps in service. I'm sure they will be able to improve on these things. For now, I recommend that you wait to go there unless you don't mind a considerable wait for a reservation.
