The waitstaff was exceptionally attentive without being overbearing. The bartender is a master drink maker.

One caution- the restaurant is rather noisy and the tables are fairly close so be prepared to potentially get friendly with the guests at the next table

We've tried stuffed shells, Mac and cheese balls (excellent), and a few types of pizza. They have slices available which is great for a quick weekday lunch. Pizza is excellent - crispy thin crust, some chew to the bite, tasty sauce and nice quality cheese.

Great wine list, great pizza, delicious entrees, great service and huge portions /good value for price point. The in house made "house" salad dressing is the bomb. It's a balsamic something. The cannolis are better than most anywhere and large. I've been on a cannoli kick over the last year or 2 and this was better than any, including from Italian bakeries that I've had recently. The wine list is expansive and at $11 a glass, with a great pour, is reasonable, as is the bottle prices. I've been many times for both eat in and pizza for take out AND attended a catered event here and they really get everything right all the time. See you there!

We looked up Italian food options, and while there weren't too many choices in the area, this place's pizza looked really good--so we decided to give it a try. You walk in and the space feels much larger than expected--high ceilings with some familiar décor I've seen in other Italian restaurants, like small statues, vines, and painted scenery. You could also tell that this is a popular local spot, since it seemed like the staff knew several of the guests personally. We ordered a medium Margherita pie and a Penne alla Vodka--both simple and safe choices. The pasta dish came with a side salad (choice of house or Caesar), which was perfect. Note: if you prefer a small amount of dressing, you may want to ask for it on the side. We did make that request, but unfortunately, the server seemed to have forgotten, and our salad came drenched. We didn't mention it, though, because we weren't that hungry and just ate what we could before moving on. That said, the pizza and penne were both excellent. The pizza had that great brick oven flavor, fresh mozzarella, and a robust tomato sauce. The Penne alla Vodka was also flavorful and nicely seasoned. If you're ever in the area and in the mood for Italian food, definitely check this place out.

Behind the entrance, two dining rooms plus outdoor seating. On a busy Saturday night, the crowd skewed older with a few young couples on dates.

Service: We had a reservation but waited 10 minutes, which was understandable; they were packed! Everyone was friendly, and our waiter was personable. TL;DR: Good food at a reasonable price, cute and simple interior, older crowd, cozy vibes.

They have several special offerings weekly like this for a great deal (meat loaf, chicken parm, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, etc.) you get a lot for your money; the ziti could have easily fed 8, which is great and you get a large Italian bread for $3 more. The whole meal was less than $30. Staff were very friendly at pickup. Although the food is really warm we reheated it in the oven to get that nice cheese melt again. The bread had a nice crispy crust and soft center, perfect with some butter and sauce. I really enjoyed the ziti and looking for to try something new on my next visit to the area.

We were seated immediately (with a reservation) and got water and drinks. We placed our orders quickly too but then nothing . . . We waited over 45 minutes for appetizers and bread. Had to ask twice. Felt like we were being ignored. People next to us got served first and had entered almost 15 minutes later. So that wasn't great - I don't like having to ask a server where our food is. When it came it was ok - not great. I am from Northern NJ and am Italian so am pretty picky about Italian food. It was fine but don't go expecting the best food. Perfectly acceptable although I didn't like my entree at all and sent it back. To their credit, they didn't charge me for it and brought me some pasta in about ten minutes. But the service definitely left a bad feeling and put a damper on our meal.

We saw many recommendations about having to check out Osteria Danny while in Saratoga Springs and…read morewe are always here for a good Italian meal! We enjoyed a delicious martini and the bread they put on the table. We are used to an olive oil mixture to accompany the bread but this came with a bean mixture, which was odd and we aren't the biggest bean fans so we avoided that. For our entrees, my mom got the Rigatoni with Chicken and Vodka Sauce. She said it was great but the sauce didn't look anything like Vodka sauce. I got the bolognese and my mom said the sauce in mine looked like vodka sauce. In any event the food was good. The place is pretty small, packed with lots of tables so it's bustling, it's loud (not a bad thing), and there's a lot going on. The one negative about it being a small place is that unfortunately we had to listen to a server complain to one of the managers for about 5 minutes about another co-worker and that was definitely not what we wanted as part of our experience. This place seems to care about presentation, as they are obviously a popular place to go in Saratoga Springs so this was definitely a little off-putting. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience by any means. Just a few little kinks to work out.
