Outside of Pizza, don't care much for spaghetti, or meatballs, or Lasagna or Penne A La Whatever. But, these guys? Just set the standard and made me a fan of Italian food at the ripe age of 54. The Spaghetti Ai Frutti Di Mare, good gosh, unlike anything that I have ever tasted before. Absolutely amazing is all I can say. My wife I believe had haddock, gave me a bite, melts in your mouth. My step daughter has the chicken marsalla, another knock out. The atmosphere was decent, family oriented, nice lighting, I'd say 7 out of 10. Parking lot gets full quick around dinner time (understandable truthfully). But the food??? 15 out of 10. I wanted to order another Spaghetti Ai Frutti Di Mare to go, but my wife protested and said for me to stop being greedy.

I do miss the white bean dip with focaccia but the bread and accoutrements were delicious anyway. Two of us got the shrimp scampi, another the eggplant parm, and another the salmon. Their tomato sauce is thick and a bit sweet, just the way I like. Joe was an excellent server and knowledgeable of the menu. We appreciated how he made us feel welcome and was attentive throughout our meal. We would definitely ask for him again when we return! It was an excellent visit (both times) to Concordia and we can't wait to return!

This restaurant is like stepping back in time and I wouldn't change that. The customers appreciate the pictures on the walls and the decorating of the times.

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.

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!

Hope this place stays open a long while, and will save drinking to the wine menu next we visit
