My husband and I went to Taverna Banfi to celebrate his 30th birthday and had a lovely experience. We enjoyed the brunch buffet with breakfast, lunch, and desserts. The ambience was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly warm and attentive.
We mentioned the birthday during reservation, and they surprised us with a big cupcake that said “Happy Birthday,” which was such a thoughtful touch! The food was good, but the overall experience was excellent. The brunch buffet costs $35 per person plus tax and is totally worth it.

First off, the bread given to us was so fresh and tasty. We ordered the octopus appetizer, the fried chicken entree (which I added potato puree to), and the salmon entree, and they were all delicious!! We also ordered a cheesecake for dessert, which tasted great. Most notable of our great experience was the wonderful staff and service. Our server was Kevin, who was so kind and patient. We had inquiries about breakfast the next day at dinner. He does not normally serve at breakfast, but he helped us by asking the staff and gave us good advice! I have a sensitive stomach, and Kevin, bless his soul, went back to the kitchen 5 times to refill my hot water. He was very accommodating and attentive! Would 100% return; thank you Kevin!

A spectacular restaurant that is housed in the Cornell hotel management school, and it is clear that they live up to the expectations being in such a nice hotel. The service is always top tier, the food is delicious, and their dishes are creative. I highly recommend the salmon, as it is cooked to perfection and comes with a spectacular sauce. Overall, for the ambiance, quality, and price, this place is an excellent place for a fun fresh dinner in the Cornell area.

Great food, great ambience, great service, nice campus views. Fantastic location in the heart of Cornell campus. We shared the housemade Mozzarella & Brooklyn ricotta as appetizers among 4 of us, both were delicious. For entree our party had the salmon, duck, gnocchi a la vodka sauce & porcini Campanella, all excellent. Definitely recommend. The complimentary focaccia & the mocktails we ordered (cayuga sunset & hibiscus refresher) were also very good.

Brunch was great. They have all your classic breakfast selections, such as bacon, sausage, eggs, and more. They also had freshly cooked crepes available. The lunch selection was wonderful. From a salad and soup bar to pasta, shrimp, roast beef and so on! Their dessert were fresh with a wide variety to select from.

We were staying at the Statler and came here for breakfast. Both avocado toast and egg Benedict were really good. The server was very nice but the service was bit slow. Pretty good enjoyable spot.

They serve a very good brunch, however we have had better. The service was excellent. Some items were fantastic, like the penne pasta and the banana/nutella crepes. Most dishes were good, but not great. But there is only so much you can do with breakfast. It is the best brunch in Ithaca, and the hotel is spectacular, as is the setting.

One of the reasons I stay at the Statler Hotel at Cornell University is because I love the food at this restaurant, and the customer service is great- students are actually been trained to run restaurants and hotels and guess what, while been watched by a preceptor and possibly graded. So you can be rest assured service will be great
Like I stated, food is great and fresh; well plated , also atmosphere and seating is relaxing.

Greatt brunch! Buffet style but it feels like a fancy wedding version. It is chilly in there during the summer, bring a sweater inside.
And we just went there for dinner last week and the food was phenomenal. Even better than brunch. A sit down dining experience with a small menu that was divine. Highly recommend for a fancy dining experience. Free valet for 3 hours too.
