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.

Okay so I know I've left a review from this place before however I don't see it on the list and the…read moreYelp is prompting me to do it again.. possibly because a few months ago the ownership changed. This restaurant is known all over the area for having the best prime rib and I'm assuming it still is as good as like I said there's new ownership and I don't believe they changed a whole lot on the menu but until I've actually tried it again I can't say for sure. My wife has always enjoyed the lobster ravioli however a couple weeks ago when we were there she had it and it does taste different. Now I do have sort of an inside track on this because my daughter works there now however she didn't know for sure if any recipes were changed or not. Now don't get me wrong the lobster are we only still tasted great but it wasn't what my wife expected because something was different. She still finished it and was happy. I went with a broiled fish option which was also tasty and the place was as usual clean and appeared to be a very nice atmosphere. This was the last time I was there a couple weeks ago, I also visited on Easter this last April, and that experience wasn't quite as nice. And the only reason I say that is because they had a buffet and there's nothing against the buffet at this restaurant it was done very well and everything was presented beautifully however in my opinion buffets just don't seem to taste as good as when you get a fresh plate from the kitchen. Now coincidentally, my birthday was a couple days ago and this weekend I will be going back here to have dinner with my in-laws and with that being said the possibility does exist I might come back and add to this review. I'm fully expecting it to be another nice dining experience so I might not revisit this perhaps only if something really outstanding or horribly tragic happens. I did give this particular review four stars instead of five five partially because of that lobster ravioli tasting different and partially because I'm not quite yet convinced about the new ownership not affecting the overall quality. We will see how this weekend goes and like I said perhaps revisit this then

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.

I did take pictures but had eaten a bit of it first so sorry about that. Let me say the portions were large and everything was hot and delicious!! My mom had a 20oz ground round with pepper and onion and she said it was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and delicious! The salad (though simple) was delicious with their Italian dressing. I had the Feast consisting of braciole, sausage, meatball (homemade!) and homemade pasta with the main meat of Veal Parmesan. It came with a salad and soup choice. My options were minestrone or pasta fagioli. (We also ordered chicken wings for my husband to go) our bill was so insanely low, I was shocked! Service was amazing and she clearly loved working there since she provided me with some details about the place making it a wonderful experience! Definitely worth the trip! The space is large enough that you aren't on top of other tables and they have a beautiful bar in one room with tables as well as 2 additional rooms for large groups. Upstairs is additional space for bigger parties.

Think overdone, pasta, hard meatballs, sliced white bread with garlic spread as garlic bread. The Cesar salad was chopped iceberg lettuce with lots of goopy dressing and a few store-bought croutons. Like everywhere around here, prices are fairly low. On the other hand, they seem to push the extra dollar, even charge three dollars for soda water from their fountain. Unless you want a throwback in history, there are better Italian restaurants in the area.

While we decided to stop in the Binghamton area, we looked at various pizzas online and found this restaurant whose Pizza appeared to be the closest to the New York City style. We ordered a medium pepperoni, the guy working in the counter seemed friendly and made us a fresh one while we sat and watched. When the pizza was done, he showed us what it looked like and whether we wanted it cooked more. He did warn us that he can always cook it more, but he can't uncook it. We asked him to cook it more, and he did a good job. We then sat in the car and ate this delicious pizza. I definitely ate way more than I was planning to, because it was just that good. In hindsight, I wish we ordered a large. The medium pepperoni pizza was roughly $20. They also have and all you can eat buffet, though neither of us can eat more than two slices of pizza to make it worth it. But if this is your thing, that would be another reason to visit here.
