Absolutely the best chicken sandwich ever. Bartender recommended I have the chicken Angelina as a sandwich. I will order this every time. The chicken was so moist and juicy. The roll was perfectly crisped. I got light sauce and it was perfect. We drive 45 minutes to come here and it’s worth every minute. Paul is our favorite bartender, always making great drinks with good conversation.

I had a half order of chef spaghetti. I am not a small person, however, a half order is plenty to eat. It comes with a garden salad. The chef spaghetti has restaurant made pasta fresh that day. The sauce is well balanced, they definitely do not add corn syrup in it however, I do not know if they add a pinch of sugar or just use vine ripened sweet tomatoes. There is a lot of meat in the sauce as well as a meatball one sausage, several mushroom shoulder, sliced up, however, I believe the mushrooms were canned not fresh. I could be wrong with that. The three people I were with one had a special order hamburger and a baked potato, drowning, and butter because they asked for it to be drowning in butter. The hamburger was cooked exactly the way they wanted. The second person had ribeye. I may be a little old-fashioned, but the ribeye look to be between six and 8 ounces. It was cooked the way a rib I should, on the rare side. They ate all of it. The third person had some type of fish. As I remember them saying the fish was delicious, not overcooked. We were seated at a table. Which means all of the sound from the other 15 or so tables interfered with our conversation. I have eaten there at least 20 times and we typically get a booth which keeps most of the noise out. We always eat on a Saturday and make reservations. Those people that don’t make reservations can usually wait 45 minutes or more to get seated. There is a zero step entrance so it is handicap accessible. There are two doors to get in through so someone will have to help you open the doors. It is mostly an Italian menu, so there are not very many vegetarian dishes available. I am not certain that the sauce is meat sauce so ask

Great Italian meal with a wide range of choices. Excellent pork, chicken, fish and beef selection. We really enjoyed our meal. We also enjoyed sitting in the lounge section of the restaurant.

Got the chicken cutlet parmigiana dinner to go, with the soup of the day and the pasta side. All of it was fantastic – the sauce is the right side of tart for what I typically enjoy for tomato sauces. The tomato bisque was great as well.

Went here for moms 75th birthday. First time there. OMG so delicious. From the homemade French dressing to the awesome bread served at the table. Super yummy homemade mozzarella sticks. Everything is so delicious there. Server was awesome. Never had an empty drink or an empty bread basket.

Just recently went to this local restaurant for the very first time. I have lived in the area most of my life and never had the chance to visit. I probably will not go back. The service was good the atmosphere was nice. I was not impressed with the food for the price. I could have done the same in my own kitchen. For a $25 cordon blue I expected at least a homemade chicken cutlet with the traditional filling. I got a frozen processed thing. It looked like a on a plate. It was over cooked and the only reason I ate it was I was just hungry. My daughter got a wrap and her chicken was also VERY over cooked almost burnt.
I am not the type of person to complain. In fact I usually just suck it up. This time I really could not. I felt I needed to speak up.

Although I did eat my entire Veal Marsala entree without much complaint, I do think they added too much sherry vinager? at the end of preparation. Please be adroit with that particular application chefs. Remember, it’s vinager! and a fine line between elevating the dish and ruining it. But I ate it all without much complaint because I was very hungry.

Very crowded so tried to be patient. Service was slow. Appetizers were okay but the entrees were not. My Prime rib was gray after being dunked in au jus and that’s all I could taste. Another in our party had veal dish which was very chewy. Chicken marsala was served in some kind of a brown garlic gravy. Just a bad meal. Couldn’t hear the server clearly. Couldn’t wait to pay the 200.+ bill and get out of there. Will not be back anytime soon.

This restaurant was recommended to me while in Binghamton on business due to its long legacy in town. Food was delicious and sitting on the patio was extra nice. Nicely landscaped and lots of flowering plants. I was happy to discover the sauce wasn’t a sweet sauce, and had great flavor. The house Italian dressing was a hit for me because it had a nice zing of vinegar. Clams were tender and prepared perfectly.
