Ambience and Decor was pleasant. Plenty of parking and easy location with little traffic. However, the food was less than stellar. It's an Italian restaurant and the food quality was subpar. My husband got the Godfather platter and I got soup and firecracker shrimp. The soup had little flavor. My husband's pasta dish was a large portion of 4 different pasta/sauce selections: lasagna, manicotti, chicken parm and spaghetti/meatballs. I asked if the portion was big enough to share (which it was) and the waitress said that would be an extra $5 to share!!!! What??? The sauce was NOT tasty. The homemade dough for the manicotti was thick, doughy and not fully cooked. I suggest you just skip this place and seek out the Italian restaurant on Court Street. read more

Food, People, and Atmosphere where all Amazing. We miss having you in Windsor, but our loss is Binghamton's Gain!

What a wonderful little restaurant! I went here for the first time about a week ago with coworkers. I was so impressed I returned two days later with my wife. The Puttanesca pasta was spicy and flavorful. It came with a complimentary salad that while small, was very fresh. Decent bread as well. I can't remember what my wife ordered. Only that it was delicious. The service was fast, attentive and friendly. The prices were very reasonable. We live about 45 minutes away, but the food is worth the drive. read more

The quiet, quaint decor and vibe were inviting upon arriving. Be advised - it's highly recommended to make reservations. We met the owner/chef briefly after a busy dinner rush. Our sever was accommodating and very personal. The very best and most important part of all were the amazingly delicious dinners the three of us enjoyed. A great place to cozy into for a relaxing and soft landing when a dinner out is much needed !!' read more

Going tomorrow for dinner with Dad. I'll let you know how it went... The food was not that good, especially for the expensive price tag very disappointed, will not be returning. read more

Fabulous food! Very nice staff. Nice ambiance. Had the lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo .

Had a great birthday dinner here! Everything was wonderful. Good food and service. Nice ambiance.

The pandemic has kept us away for months, but we finally got to A Tavolo in our round of patronizing local eateries during this difficult time. I encourage everyone who reads this to be sure to add this place to your take-out or outdoor dining experience. Our orders of spaghetti with sausage, and the lasagna were both magnificent. The salada that accompanied were fresh and interesting with their dried cranberries, nuts, and crumbles of cheese. I was especially pleased with the oil to enhance the Italian bread slices. You don't often get that with take-out. In short, A Tavolo made our dinner on our own deck feel very much like having a meal in the restaurant. That's a big bill to fill. Well done! read more

A Tavolo - NYE dinner at A Tavolo. - Italian Near Me - Binghamton, New York

I had a nice enjoyable dinner here. Spent the night at a local hotel on my way back from Cooperstown and decided to check this place out and glad I did. The Good! Pasta is homemade and delicious. Prices are very reasonable. I had great service from a young guy I believe his name was Cameron. Their deck is covered and comfortable. (Although could use a coat of paint) If you get their pasta with the arrabbiata sauce be sure to specify how spicy you like your sauce. This one has some kick to it. The Italian sausage was delicious. The place is in an older home made into a restaurant, I drove by it the first time and had to double back. They have some nice background music playing and the deck is nicely decorated but then they serve beer and water in plastic cups....it's a little unique in that they seem to want to be upscale but then the plastic cups and chairs on the deck, different from my experiences but it didn't take away from the meal at all. They have some decent wines and a good beer selection as well. I'd definitely go back if ever in the area again. read more

Tried to dine in and noticed multiple tables to the left empty. Waitress barely acknowledged us and when she came back around told us they had no seating because one of the tables inside was reserved for some of the patrons that were dining outside since it was going to rain...they have canopies outside. It was just very obvious that she didn't want us there, perhaps it was covert racism with her questioning if we're traveling or laziness. read more

Wonderful food and a nice atmosphere! I had the filet mignon which was cooked to a wonderful medium. Fantastic flavors and excellent for a 6 oz. size (although I certainly could have eaten more!) In such a small size, great service is expected, and it is most certainly delivered. The pasta sauce is seasoned wonderfully, and is not sweet! (I personally can't stand a sweet sauce, so I enjoyed this, but that's just dependent on the person!) Overall, we had an excellent experience here and look forward to our next visit for a family meal! read more

UPDATE: We (wife and I) came here very early one evening to sit and eat at the bar. They have an L shaped bar with 6 seats in front, then the waitress access station are at the bend, then one more lone seat (7) after the bend. Seats #1 and #2 at the end were already taken. Seat #3 was empty. Seat #4 and #5 were "reserved". Seat #6 was also empty. Now it seems unusual when restaurants reserve bar seats, but be that as it is, when we asked if we could move the reserved two seats over by one place so we could sit together the bartender said the couple who sit there are very particular and we may not. Effectively, those reserved seats cause empty seats #3 and #6 to be single seats, preventing any other couple from sitting at the bar. I'm sure that 90% of the patrons in this cozy Italian restaurant are in parties of 2 or more people. I hope the "reserved seats" patrons are big spenders, because they effectively take up 4 seats at the bar. We took our money somewhere else. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Great Italian food in a cozy little restaurant and bar. Super friendly service. Huge portions. A couple regional craft beers by the bottle. Reasonable pricing. Good for a date or for a family visit. read more

The review will probably be removed as our friends were, but I hope it helps someone before it is removed! Here are the points: 1) Make a reservation or you will receive an attitude if you show up without one. After all I have read about business demeanor and reservation scandals, I was a bit nervous making mj 2) Be on time or - "No soup for you" 3) service is pretty good but a little inexperienced and some things WILL get lost in translation. 4) food is "ok" - I'm a bit picky on Italian foods but I really wanted to like it! I had the seafood fra diabalo, my wife had the chicken Saltemboca dish. The bread was served prior and was really small and ok, kinda reminded me of a small dinner roll warmed up and sliced thin! The seafood dish was below average. Small shrimp, 2-3 clams and muscles I asked to be left off. My wife's chicken dish was even worse than my plate. It's hard to compete with Oaks Inn (Endicott, NY) on this dish though. So keeping perspective, my wife thought it was "ok". 5) Drinks - Expensive and lame pours. I asked for a single malt scotch and got one, it was literally a micro shot in a tiny liqueur glass fixture. I was like what is this? $13 for a micro drink from a bottle that costs $24 down the street. Weird!! Wine was "ok" but $$ by the glass. Idk.... All in all, I thought it was a dinner not worth the $120. From read more

Good food, great service. Wonderful ambiance. We had a wonderful meal, moderately priced.

Very good food and excellent service. We sat on the covered deck - a perfect setting. I ordered the fish special which was in parchment paper with potatoes, asparagus, clams & shrimp. It was delicately seasoned with fresh dill. Excellent. My husband ordered the stuffed pork chop special and unfortunately is was overcooked and tough. They have an full bar with a nice variety of cocktails, wine and beer. We will go back sometime and try some of the other menu items. read more

A Tavolo - Smoked Manhattan - Italian Near Me - Binghamton, New York

See all

Just enjoyed A Tavulo's Friday night specials...fish and chips and shrimp and fries. Both meals were absolutely excellent! Lightly battered shrimp and fish served with home made French fries and coleslaw. Large portions of fish and huge shrimp cooked to perfection. If you have a hankering for a seafood dinner....call A Tavolo and you won't be disappointed! read more

This is a great little restaurant ! My family has lived in the Binghamton area for over 50 years and I never knew about this place. It has great food the ambiance is so quaint and the staff is gold!! They could not have been more accommodating. Don't pass on a great night and not being rushed. It's a gem! read more

This was our 3rd time at A Tavolo and maybe our last. While my dish of chicken cacciatore was really tasty, my simple request of no mushrooms and pasta boxed to go was ignored. It's difficult to pick mushrooms off a dish like this. My husband ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and revived fettuccine with meat sauce that was extremely bland and tasteless. No real concern that our orders were not correct. For the prices just not worth the lack of attention. read more

Well... I really would like to like it; but it's just ok. Service was lovely, good portion size, decent selection and quaint setting. The food was mixed, from ok to good and normally we would try again. But honestly- the woman/bartender was so ill mannered, rough and rude; it ruined our evening. She'll be the demise of the place. It's like the staff is afraid of her; they have to run everything by her before they do their job or go above and beyond for a customer. The owner/chef came out after the meal and asked us how everything was and we learned that the staff lied to us regarding a simple request we had. We even offered to pay a difference in price, if necessary (although no other restaurant in town would charge for it). Really? The chef never received the simple request- the woman intercepted it and had the staff lie to us that "it couldn't be done because they customize every order." How is that for tacky? The chef implied that our request was simple (as we thought) and would not have been an issue at all. Not the type of customer centric atmosphere I prefer to spend my money on. Too many good restaurants closer to town without the evil attitude. Not worth the effort to drive out there for average and obnoxious. One and done. read more

Highly recommend this off-the-beaten path restaurant. Nice menu, service and atmosphere on their lovely outdoor deck. Good wine menu and interesting menu selections. We'll be back! read more

Quaint old house turned into a restaurant. Nice bar and nice ambience. The wait staff is prompt and continuously checks on your table. That part is all excellent, but let's talk about the food. The spaghetti sauce was almost plain tomato sauce. The spaghetti as a side to the chicken marsala and the chicken parmesan was cold. The meatballs with the spaghetti seemed like the bread crumbs weren't well mixed into the meat. It seemed like you'd get chunks of bread crumbs as you were chewing the meatballs. The Alfredo sauce on the fettuccini Alfredo dish was very bland. It was very creamy but lacked the cheese flavor you'd expect from an Alfredo sauce. The chicken in the chicken parmesan was over done and very dry. On another positive, the portion sizes were very good and at a fair price. The quality and taste of the food needs some work, though. read more

Pasta was way over cooked, sauce was meh, bread was stale. Definitely off my list of Italian places. Why spend the money when you can do way better yourself at home? read more

Passing through Binghamton on a Friday night in late August. Very fortunate to see this restaurant listed on my phone. Stopped in and got an outdoor table immediately. Very friendly staff and delicious dinner. I believe it was the owner making her way around the tables, more than once. She was very attentive and helpful. Turned out to be a lovely evening. Would definitely recommend eating here. read more

This place was extremely accommodating for our 3 families which included 6 kids! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful!

Attentive staff and top notch meals. I had seafood diavalo, my wife, the chicken parm, with alfredo side. Both meals were amazing. We look forward to returning to try more items on the menu. It was a difficult decision. Thank you. read more

A bit upscale, cloth napkins, good service, friendly folks. Sauce is a bit tangy, prefer it a bit sweeter.

What a great place. My husband and I went there for our anniversary. I had ravioli and he had egg plant parmigiana. They were both very good. The service was excellent. We definitely will be back. read more

They have a weekly menu along with their regular menu. We have the meat ravioli which was excellent. Atmosphere is good service was good overall would recommend to go there for a fine meal at a reasonable price. read more
