This was mine and my wife's first time at this restaurant. The staff were all very friendly, and we were sat even before our reservation time. The ambiance was a nice docile one, with not many people in the restaurant that night. Luckily my brother and sister-in-law frequent this restaurant so they were able to gives us the details of what they thought was good, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything here. For the table we ordered a large antipasto salad with the Wise Guys dressing, the garlic knots, the mozzarella moons, and the fried meatballs. The salad was SO DELICIOUS. All of the vegetable tasted fresh with just the right amount of meat and cheese mixed in. The Wise Guys dressing was the star of the show though. This dressing has such a nice balance of flavor, but also that zip that salads need. The garlic knots were also so delicious too! The knots themselves were crispy yet fluffy... and they had a generous heaping of butter and garlic atop them. The mozzarella moons and meatballs were good but not special like the other two. I got the sausage riggies for my main course... and it was so good. First off, they give you an absolute heaping portion. I have had some good riggies in the past, but I think this may have been my favorite. The sauce was a great blend of creamy with spice from the hot cherry peppers. The sausage was also so flavorful yet not too rich. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for some good Italian food in the area. read more

We were greeted by all the genuine caring staff upon our return this year. The food was it's usual amazing treat to the palate. We had scallops appetizer with an antipasto salad,which we shared along with the tortellini and sausage Aglio. It was so delicious and way too much food for two people! read more

Loved Wise Guys! The food (lasagna & Alfredo) was some of the best we have had in a long time. And don't get me started on the garlic knots!!!Decadent and so light and fluffy!! The server was delightful too and very welcoming. Only comment I have is not sure why we were seated in the bar area instead of the dining room? It was fine but maybe would like to have been given the choice. We made reservations so recommend. read more

Wise Guys Ristorante - In the lounge, a Birthday chocolate chip cookie! And huge sparkler! - Pizza Near Me - Chaumont, New York

This place is great! We went here for dinner with reservations and got right in. This place is huge! There were many different rooms with plenty of seating options. Our waitress was very friendly and offered her suggestions on favorites. We ordered three appetizers, one being the garlic knots. The garlic knots were my favorite appetizer although the amount of garlic was a little overwhelming, even for myself being a garlic lover. We also had an antipasto salad which was delicious, the dressing was so good we purchased a bottle before leaving. I ordered the chicken Parmesan for my meal. It was delicious, although the breading on it was not quite as crispy as I would have liked, the bottom was soggy. Overall, the food was flavorful, the staff was amazing, and the ambiance was the perfect setting for a dinner with family. read more

Well, it was Valentine's Day 2026 and we showed up 1 hour early. We were all dressed up & ready for a delicious romantic meal. And so, they found a nice, romantic table for us, in no time; despite the mix-up! We really appreciated this modification! Our server was timely and pleasant. I ordered Chicken Marsala (my favorite!) and it was tender & scrumptious! It was a large portion, so I took some home for lunch tomorrow. And my Italian Stallion ordered the Sausage Riggies, which I sampled and they were delicious, too! We enjoyed a perfect salad, some warm bread, and a bottle of wine. Our server never rushed us! And at the end, she presented a small box of chocolates, saying "Happy Valentines Day!", before we left! It was a most delicious and romantic evening! Thank you Wise Guys!! read more

This is by far the best Italian restaurant my husband and I have been to in years! The menu is fantastic, if you go online or social media, like instagram or facebook. The owners are super friendly and sweet. We highly recommend coming here. They have outdoor seating with gorgeous water view as well as indoors with water views too. read more

Food was a gastronomic extravaganza that exploded in our mouth Service by Beth- outstanding! Fast, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Recommended the right entrees for my wife and me. Very reasonable prices but white tablecloth service. I felt like I was dining at a grand ballroom overlooking the marina. People were lined up to get in. Make reservations because some people were disappointed that they could not just walk in. read more

An enigma in Northern NY. Not bad!! Decent Italian food --try the garlic knots. Pasta and sauces not bad--meatballs not bad. Ambiance is much like a funeral home!! Plastic chairs, big stark dining room. Loud. The BAR is a gem. Lovely, inviting. Service was ok...slow on this night. Place was packed. It's my GO-TO when here in the Watertown area. read more

Found this place as a recommendation on Facebook. Was excited to try it. I read they get very busy so definitely make a reservation. We went on a Saturday night around 6pm and made a reservation ahead of time. When we got there they were already busy packed. There was a good amount of parking spaces. There is two dining areas and a nice large wait area. The ambiance was nice. If you went during the day there is a nice view looking out to the water. For appetizers we got the Combo Chicken tenders, French fries, cheese sticks and onion rings, we really liked the cheese sticks and chicken tenders. The onion rings was okay. Everything was battered perfectly. For entrees I got the Chicken Parmesan Italian breaded chicken joined with cheese and savory tomato sauce with capellini. I thought it was very good, nice flavor and texture. My husband got Ravioli With cheeses and meatballs. He said it was a bit acidic the tomato sauce but over all everything was good. Our bill was around $70 with everything which is pretty reasonable. We would definitely come here again, good quality food. read more

Amazing food and service. Always a great meal and fun time !! We've celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions there! Great atmosphere ! read more

We were seated pretty promptly, although we had a reservation. It took a long time for our waitress Regina to come to our table, serving another table that came in after us.l"It took a long time to get our drinks, water, bread, and even longer for our meals. Our meals were over all pretty good, chicken parm, lasagna, and ravioli, although not warmish/hottish. My dish was light warm at best. Our server, Regina, did not check in to see how things were, did not clear our dishes before we got our bill. Our $37 bottle of wine cost $8 otherwise. Total robbery and shameful! Overall not happy spending 2 1/2 hours for dinner. read more

Food is always exceptional. Friendly service and beautiful facilities. My favorite place to go for special occasions.

Excellent food! Prices are what I consider normal these days. Never rushed and excellent service.

Great food and great people. I love the chicken cordon Bleu. The view out the Window of the bay is very nice

Where the elite/upwardly mobile from Watertown go to be seen (which is humorous in itself). Beautiful location.. a big gaudy building that would make an Eyetalian joint on Staten Island blush a bit. The food is so-so...a lot of red saucey stuff but not really remarkable. Pete's in Watertown is kind of the gold standard up in the area... Wise Guys is probably a 5.5/10 in New Haven CT or Providence RI. The lake view is really nice though. I would go again for a drink and an app...but if you grew up in Watertown and haven't traveled this is probably upscale dining. read more

Always great!! Food and service top notch We love going there with family .Great selection of food also read more

Food was good but the plates they put the pasta in was not good was a bowl that the fork wouldn't even stay kept falling out portion was small The service we had was terrible had to wait to get drinks take our orders never came back to see if we needed anything when we asked for more bread with our meal we got it just before we were finished Ambiance is always good read more

Over priced. Ambiance is better than most of the restaurants in the Jefferson County area. Service is impeccable but unfortunately I have never had a meal there that tasted good to me. It isn't bad, it's just not enjoyable for me. We don't go there unless it is selected by someone else in our party. Not recommended. read more

Always good food and service. One of our favorite restaurants. Garlic knots and pizza !! The chicken dishes are great too.

In the middle of nowhere, this place is fantastic, wonderful food, service, view,4 of us ate there, and we got 4 different shaped plates for the meal,jus really lovely, and we came a very long way as we heard it was so good, hope they can keep it up,a 5 star to be sure ! read more

Every time we have had dinner, everyone is very nice and friendly. Food is always excellent and the staff is very friendly and helpful, they go out their way to make sure it is right. The view of the bay and patio area make it a very enjoyable evening. read more

Pizza is the best in town. Go on Wednesday nights they offer $8 bottles of wine and I recommend sitting out on the patio.

Never disappointment Andy and staff aim to please thanks to all it's not easy to run a successful business

Food, atmosphere, service are always fantastic!! Beautiful bar and dining room! Always a First Class experience!!

Amazing food and amazing service. And of course you must get the funnel fries with the raspberry sauce

Atmosphere is very very nice, people are very nice and friendly. Well dressed but still family friendly and relaxed, pizza is easily the most affordable option on the menu. About 25- 30 dollars for a large 3 topping pizza, the fresh spring onions are delicious. Would highly recommend, the view over the water is incredible. I would not recommend taking kids unless you get pizza, the pasta dishes are like 20- 25 bucks a person. read more

Not good for gluten-free, but everyone else enjoys this place. I took my chances, knowing that awareness around gluten-free is low in this part of the state, and got a GF pizza and Caesar salad. Something was definitely contaminated and I got sick. The GF pizza was very mediocre (I've had better store-bought). And it is advertised as 12" but is actually around 9-10". So yeah, 5 stars if you aren't celiac/gluten-intolerant, but I am, so 2 stars. read more

Finally came back here after they moved to their bigger location and to try some of their other Italian dishes besides pizza and salad. Sad to say we will not be returning as the food was not that great! The antipasto salad was still very good and the house dressing is also amazing! The bread that comes at the start of the meal is fresh and warm. For entrees my husband and I split the chicken Parmesan and the sausage Riggies. The chicken was good but the sauce is not flavorful at all. I have had better jarred sauce. The riggies was just salty and that was the only flavor. I have had riggies at many places and this was the worst. My mom got the chicken Marsala and they did not mention it was a cream based Marsala but this was the best dish out of the group. Lots of mushrooms which was nice. The other dish was the trio perfecto and this Alfredo sauce was also just salty and no flavor. Service was okay, but will not be back. read more

Great spot! I got the sausage riggies and they were phenomenal. We made a reservation and were seated fast. We sat inside so no views of the water, but they looked nice from the outside. read more

Our neighbors made us reservations and this would be my 3rd time going to this place. The first and second time going were great, however this time was not. We were seated right away and greeted by our waitress Jen, who was fabulous. She stated what the specials were and right off the bat no scallops! Ugh! Was in the mood for scallops. However you may substitute shrimp or chicken in the meal. Four main dishes on the menu has scallops. We were served with a small loaf of bread with butter and wise guys dressing was an option. I went with the lasagna with sausage and hubby went with Wise Guys Sauce with cappellini with meatballs. The Lasagna lacked cheeses in between layers. A lot of sauce covered the evidence. My hubby cappellini dish he stated the sauce was way too acidic and meatballs so dry. We were very disappointed this time. We usually order there pizza which is always delish! The atmosphere was elegant. There was outdoor seating but I guess it was not being used at that time. It would hav been nice to sit outside since the weather that evening was very nice. My hubby was the only one who ordered dessert key lime cheesecake which he stated was fabulous. I guess we'll give this place one more try on a different day, crossing my fingers they will have scallops. read more
