Dill Pickle Pizza
Salvatore B.

In town for baseball tourney, this place was recommended by locals at grocery store. The dill pickle pizza was pretty good. Kids loved the sheet pizza but it was heavy on cheese and soggy. Wings were greasy too. Some people in the group loved both the wings and pizza? To each their own.

Overall food was tasty. I was a little surprised bu the size of the pizza (although I ordered small) for the price it was smaller than I imagined. Also the salad left me wanting something more. Clam strips were good. Would order again.

Your classic pizza and wings backed by Roadkill's own Stubby Bob, another classic itself!
Thomas C.

We've eaten in and ordered take out, and never been disappointed. However, I do wish the garbage plate came with authentic Texas hot meat sauce rather than a tomato-based Italian meat sauce. But since I grew up in Rochester, home of the legendary garbage plate, I guess I'm a bit of a garbage plate snob. Whoa, is that any oxymoron?!?! GJP Pizza is among the best available in Oswego, not too thin, and not too thick, but rather just like Goldilocks. I always ask for our wings to be crispy with extra sauce, and they have gotten it right every single time. I've tried a few of their Italian dishes and they're all pretty good, but I haven't tried their subs yet.

Love this spot. Eclectic menu, great service. Today I enjoyed their wood fired pizza - Margarita!…read moreOlive oil base with cheese, tomatoes and basil. Guinness topped off the meal. Fun ambience- high ceilings and lots of art work hanging on the walls.

What to say about Red Sun that hasn't already been said- the restaurant is one of, if not, the best…read morethat Oswego has to offer. 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. From the appetizers to the main courses to the cocktails- Red Sun delivers. On our most recent outing I had the Pig and Swig pizza- fire roasted with pork sausage, broccoli, red onions, red pepper and mozzarella this was absolutely delicious! 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! It's an elevated experience that I truly hope will inspire other establishments to rise to!

Classic Upstate Italian. Family has been going there for years - super nice people:)…read more I think the business has made it to the next generation, and while they have simplified the menu, they have also lost a bit of attention to detail. Positives: Wedding soup is perfect! Salad with Italian & crumbly blue is excellent. Great steak and pasta choices Great bar & wine choices. Slight critiques: The bar is too high, basically difficult to eat at - plus it's not very attractive. Gone are the days of complimentary white garlic pizza at the bar:( The Sunday Vona's sauce is good, but something seems to have changed? Maybe a tad too much sugar? Not sure. The chicken Marsala came out in chunks, not pounded as it should be. A classic dish like this should not be reduced a "chicken riggy" (if you don't know what that is your not missing much in the culinary tradition of upstate NY) I understand veal is expensive and requires more culinary expertise - sad to see it go. Overall great place! But the lack of culinary detail to the classic Italian recipes that made this place great means that a 4 star review is generous - meaning I hope they improve because we love Vona's. Improvement could be as simple as staying true to original recipes or even finding better Italian recipes.

Not good and overrated. The chicken taste like the other place down the road. The breading is so…read morethick with a thin piece of chicken meat with the breast cut in half providing two pieces which makes the plate look plentiful, but the chicken meat is skimpy, and the breading is thick and nasty. Added the eggplant a top of it. I thought they used it as a sponge to wipe up all the oil. There's so much sauce you could take a bath in it not a traditional Italian place which means I don't have any of those classics, but I wouldn't come back to this place.

I recently filled in a major gap in my CNY dining résumé with a visit to Rosalie's Cucina. I had…read morebeen reluctant to try it because most places that are hyped as much as Rosalie's has been over the past 30 years tend to disappoint, in my experience. Nope, not this time. Rosalie's is the rare exception that lives up to the hype and more. We arrived early for our reservation to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. From my brother's well-made Manhattan to my perfectly balanced Sidecar, the barmaid had some serious chops. And the impossibly long, thin, and crunchy breadsticks were unlike any I'd ever had. Addicting. Although it bills itself as an "Authentic Tuscan dining" restaurant (which the décor lives up to), the menu at Rosalie's is more Tuscan-influenced or maybe Tuscan-adjacent than strictly authentic Tuscan cuisine. There were grilled polenta and grilled, prosciutto-wrapped shrimp panzanella appetizers (which my sister-in-law ordered for her entrée; see below), but no baccalà or cacciucco or polpo. There was veal piccata, but also Sicily's veal Marsala and Southern Italian/Italian-American staples like manicotti and pizza margherita. I mention this to inform prospective diners, however, not to warn them off. The food at Rosalie's is amazing. One word to the wise: the serving portions are enormous. We were a party of three and ordered the carpaccio and grilled polenta appetizers and the antipasto affetati e formaggio as starters. That could have been our entire meal and we would have been very happily well-fed. We literally had trouble fitting all three on the table. The carpaccio was a huge portion and came on a gigantic plate. It was amongst the best I've ever had. The polenta had a perfectly char-grilled crust, yet remained nicely moist inside. But the antipasto easily stole the show. It came on a giant board that took up a quarter of the table and had enough "nibbles" to feed a family of five. Everything was superb, from the cured meats to the aged and fresh cheeses to the massive mound of shelled pistachios, but the little jar of honey was exceptional, especially when slathered on a hunk of the oven-fresh loaf of bread that was brought to the table as soon as we sat down. For the primi piatti we skipped the insalata and went with the zuppa del giorno, a deliciously rich cream of wild mushroom. The funghi were puréed, not whole, and the layers of flavor (was that a hint of sherry?) were sublime. That soup could easily do double duty as a sauce for game dishes, like venison or wild boar. For the secondi piatti, my brother and I went with the Maiale alla Milanese (pan-fried pork loin, roasted fingerling potatoes, wilted spinach, prosciutto, oven cured tomatoes, green beans, with a Dijon crab cream sauce), whilst my sister-in-law chose the Gamberi Grigliati di Panzanella appetizer (three grilled prosciutto-wrapped shrimp, panzanella salad with tomatoes, onions, olives, anchovy croutons, feta cheese, basil, lemon vinaigrette) mentioned above, which was easily an entrée-sized serving at most restaurants. The pork cutlets were served hot and had a perfect crispy crust while remaining juicy and tender inside, which is hard to pull off with cutlets hammered to a centimeter thick. My sister-in-law reported that, like the polenta, the shrimp had a nice char from the grill, but remained tender and succulent. My brother and I are notoriously big eaters, but we had already been served so much food that we needed to take home half our entrées if we were to have dessert. And you MUST save room for dessert! Alas, although we originally intended to try a selection of desserts, like the rest of the dishes, the portions were ginormous, so the three of us split a banana budino...and ended up taking half of it home! A word about the budino: although I was accustomed to budino being a cross between a soufflé and a lava cake (with lemon curd or gooey chocolate filling) cooked in a Bain Marie, this dessert was more akin to a mousse. Described as a house-made cinnamon-sugar phyllo shell filled with layers of fresh bananas, banana cream pudding and almond cookies, finished with caramel sauce and almond cookie garnish, the best word for this is decadent. The best word to describe the ambiance at Rosalie's is vitality. While some people think it is "loud," I think that's overstating it. The restaurant is small and is bustling with life. There were couples dining alone and two large, multi-generational families filling long tables set for ten and fourteen, respectively. Between the décor, the exceptional service (thank you, Eric!), and the other diners, I felt like I was back in Northern Italy for a few hours. This was one of the best meals I've had in my life and I strongly recommend you go out of your way to dine at Rosalie's.

Not sure what happened but the water tasted terrible. It smelled and tasted like chlorine…read more Absolutely disgusting water. They honored our reservation and the Service was very good. I loved the Christmas decor. There is a parking lot with ample parking. The writings on the wall are of people that dined there over the years. We ordered the brick oven pizza and it was tasteless. Not as good as tiktok said it was, I would not recommend.

The restaurant is also available to get to by boat as the site also hosts a marina with slips for both transient boats and seasonal slip rentals. My wife was given a gift card for Skippers for her birthday, and over the weekend, we decided to go use it. It's situated somewhat in a residential neighborhood with a few parking spaces in front of the restaurant. We were sat right away. It was an early dinner for us, around 4PM. There were a couple other tables sat, but the restaurant was mostly open. We asked for an outdoor seat and were brought right back. The inside of the restaurant is large with 2 floors and was very dark inside. We were given our menus. Took a bit for our server to get to us, but no big deal. I ordered the risotto with chicken and a virgin pina colada while my wife got the lobster stuffed haddock with a drink special. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I always appreciate a restaurant that offers mocktails. Again, not a ton of tables sat, but it took a bit for us to get our food. Luckily, it was a beautiful day to just sit and look out onto the water. Our food was brought over and we got to it. Portions were large, but we both felt the food was just okay. My risotto had very little flavor, and the chicken was completely unseasoned. My wife said her food was fine, but the onion rings were the stand out of her meal. Our gift card was for $80 and our 2 meals and drinks came to $86. Our server was very friendly, but the service was slow for the amount of people there. Beautiful view on the outside patio, but for us, that was the best part of the experience.
