I know it was only take-out but what an amazing experience! The online ordering through the restaurant website was really easy and it gave me a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $30. I was shocked at the 45 minute wait time for some chicken wings but, I saw how busy they were when I go there. I loved the atmosphere when I walked in. It was busy at the bar and restaurant but no one was waiting for a seat. That's a great sign. Immediately, I was asked if I had an order. I told the gentleman I could wait but he went back and put a rush on the wings. Within 10 minutes I had the wings, and an apology for how long it took. Although, it was well before my 45 minute pick up time. The parking lot is a bit cramped but there's not much room to expand. Besides, they have been there since I was a kid. The wings were so good. They came with blue cheese, celery, and carrots. Overall, this place is well above 5 stars. I can't wait to dine in and visit the bar side. Great service and I hope they stay open for another 40+ years. read more

An absolute must if you're passing through Whitney. Great food and reasonably priced. Definite 5 star for the waiter we had. Didn't catch his name but dyed blonde hair. Nice environment to sit down and have a great meal. read more

Aiello's is a gem of a restaurant! The food is delicious, service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly...we had a birthday party there on 2/7 for about 30 people, and it was a hit! The owner Vinny helped us set it up and was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions...everyone raved about the food and great service! There were some who had not eaten here before, but said they would definitely be back! We highly recommend Aiello's for sure! read more

Amazing stop while we were passing through town during vacation. It was a lucky find after we stopped somewhere else and their computer system was down. This was the former site of Hotel Griffin. Cool history, really cool ambience and was a huge hit for both my wife and I along with our three kids (ages 6-8). read more

we had a very nice waiter, but I wasn't mad about the food. It's good enough for where it is I suppose, but the dish I ordered had so much sauce on it that it was just sickening. The shrimp were obviously frozen because they were hard, the dish came cold, and I had to send it back to be made hot. The bread that was served before the meal was kind of nasty. it was cheaper then I would have expected to pay for what I got, but that just convinces me that the ingredients weren't first-rate. read more

Granted this is upstate NY - In general I find Italian food that is west of I-87 to be not very good. Aiello had a good crowd when we drove by on the way up the Finger Lakes and we were hungry when we drove back. Pizza was decent. Meatballs were excellent. Salads were decent. Sauce was ok. Pasta was too soggy. Not al dente. I had higher hopes but I would rate it a 3. Would I go back if I was in the area? Yes. Would I try something other than the linguine which was meh? Also yes. read more

I came by Aiello's when returning from a trip from upstate NY. I have to say that it was a perfect restaraunt stop. Upon arrival, I noticed the restaraunt was full with locals. To me, this is a great sign that this is a great restaraunt as locals don't go to bad restaurants. Service was very quick and we waited no more than 5 minutes for appetizers. We did need to wait for a bit longer for our main courses but it wasn't bad. I also really liked how waiters were always coming around and taking plates off the table as they became empty. The menu here is very accommodating and serves gluten free meals. There is also a wide variety of food available (pizza, pasta, fish, variety of meat, etc.). For the appetizers, I really liked the burrata and lobster bisque. The portions for the soup could be better, however. For the main courses, I had the veal parmesan. My son had the gluten free pasta. Both were very filling and delicious! Finally, the value here is 5/5. It is high quality food for a decent price. I had a great meal here that filled me up for another 4 hours for my ride home! A hidden gem in upstate! read more

We're not locals but come here annually on our way to Turin for a family ski vacation. It's like coming home every time: good food, friendly staff, old school Italian atmosphere. This place makes us wish we were locals! read more

I've been coming to Aiellos long before Yelp existed. Solid old school Italian food in an old time decor establishment. EXCELLENT pizza is only served in the bar area and the full menu in the dining room. A unique bit of class it is right off 81 make a stop for the kind of food usually found in larger cities read more

Love the good, service and ambiance. This has been one of my family's favorite spot for the past 4 years on our travels to Cornell University. We love the chicken parmigiana, the fettuccine Alfredo and the garlic knots. The owner treats us like gold. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Had high hopes for Aiello's based on most reviews. Our party of 4 had a reservation and were seated at a four top next to the kitchen and across from the bathrooms. Both doors opened and closed repeatedly and squeaked as if no one ever oiled the hinges ever. We asked to move and the restaurant did move us to a more decent location. Drink orders were placed - house Chianti is pretty flavorless but no one's fault I guess. We asked for bread and were told it was baking. Received our salads. Pretty bland general house salads- wrong dressing on one. Asked for bread again- still baking. Received a faulty decent fried calamari app- still no bread. The. The entrees came out. At this point not having been brought bread was just beyond ridiculous and the server said, when asked again... " oh let me get your bread" My dish was the Sicilian eggplant parm, thinking I should order a signature dish to see what makes this place special. Salt. Salt is what makes this place special. Absolutely inedible and when the server took our plates the fact that my dish was untouched should've led to follow up from the server. It didn't. My partner's prime rib was mostly fat. Terrible service and awful food. Never again. read more

I'd driven past this place so many times and finally got an opportunity to visit - I had called ahead only an hour for a Friday evening reservation and was surprised that they had tables open. Firstly, the food. I got a pasta dish that had an option for shrimp or scallops (with the scallops being quite a bit more expensive). I ended up receiving the scallops by mistake, and after some discussing with my server, they did end up giving me the shrimp price. However, I'm a little surprised that it took so long for them to comp me given that it was the server's mistake. With regards to the food itself, however, it was tasty and the portions were large. The bread that they provide is also tasty. One thing that I found to be troubling was how long the food took to take out- exceeding 30 minutes. We were hungry so that wasn't fun. Overall, I had a good experience but it was not anything special. The service was disappointing, but the food was good at least. read more

Awesome food very polite friendly staff and the owner is a very nice guy I highly recommend this restaurant

Stopped in for lunch and had the Sicilian slice and salad combo along with the meatballs and crostini. Both were excellent and the service super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

They have great food been going to them since I was a kid. Love them!! Always had good service and wonderful atmosphere

The fried mozzarella was good, unfortunately that was the only good thing. Ravioli and manicotti had watery sauces. The manicotti stuffing was definitely frozen and had a mealy texture. We got seated in the bar section at one of the high top tables and had to wait a very long time to get our order taken. The meal was not worth $90 and we won't be returning. read more

This is our go to restaurant! We are a Friday night pizza family and always order from here. Their specials menu both appetizers and entrees are always something I like to order. My husband's favorite is the Sicilian eggplant parm. The serving is enough for two meals. Both the service and the atmosphere is great. We almost always take out of town guest here if we go out to eat! read more

Their house sauce is great as is their fresh lobster and sweet broiled scallops. Wood fire grilled wings were pretty good. The vodka shrimp was great and the service was fine. Limoncello cake was fantastic! Ambiance is reminiscent of an old Italian home with nice relaxing music. I'm pretty sure I'll be back. I got an eggplant parmigiana to take home and will do a follow up on it. read more

Stopped in for lunch. The usual great Aiello's fare and service. Had a nice house salad with the house dressing along with the fried Mozzarella and gnocchi with meatballs. In the large dining room, a wine company representative was training the Aiello's staff on the different kinds of wines, how to present them and how to serve them. That was pretty neat to listen to as I had lunch. Top notch 5-star. This is my go-to whenever I pass through, when I have time and I want Italian food. read more

Classic old school Italian spot with good food and service . The pizza is hands down the best in the area ! Nothing even comes close .

This is a welcoming, family-friendly restaurant with a casual atmosphere. My son ordered pizza slices, but he found them to be just average. I tried the fettuccine Alfredo, which unfortunately missed the mark--the cheese hadn't fully melted into the sauce, leaving it with a somewhat grainy texture. The bread served at the table was crisp, though it wasn't garlic bread, which you might expect at many Italian restaurants. The salad was fresh and decent, but nothing stood out as particularly memorable. Overall, it was an okay dining experience, but not one that would draw me back. read more

Seriously I am a pizza connoisseur. I've been coming to Aiello's for 30 years and the margarita pizza never disappoints! My husband loves the Sicilian Eggplant and the specials are delicious. No matter your preference Aiello's is a favorite. Thank you to the family for keeping it going! read more

Went there last night with my family for my graduation dinner. We absolutely LOVED our waitress Crystal. Not only did she give us amazing service but she is absolutely hilarious. I had never been here before but had always heard good things and now I see why. My food was absolutely perfect and there were hardly any complaints from my family aswell! my drinks were super yummy and the creme brulee was absolutely delicious. i also just loved the ambiance of the restaurant. its super cozy and intimate while also being more fine dining compared to a lot of other restaurants in Binghamton. Im already planning my trip back here with my boyfriend !! I absolutely appreciate them making my grad dinner as special as it could be read more

It's ok. The food was edible but not great. I got the vodka sauce. It tasted about as good as jarred vodka sauce. My sister ordered a gin and tonic with lime.... It didn't come with a lime... my brother in law reminded the waitress for the lime... the waitress mentioned three times "oh yeah you need your lime" and we never got the lime. The room smells musty, the design is dated, and you hear the plastic covered ceiling blowing in the AC nonstop. The cheesecake and the fried mozzarella was at least good. We have gone a few times and grow more and more disappointed each time, so we don't plan to go back. read more

The service and ambiance were pretty nice. We waited about 15 minutes for a table on a Friday. The food however was wayyyy too salty. We ordered the del Monico steaks which is one of the pricier items on the menu. The presentation was lackluster and there was just an obscene amount of salt! We only ate a third of the steak before we couldn't anymore. For the price of the food I expected a little more. read more

We had a group of six, reservations for 630, got there,seated within 5 mins. We all had appetizers,my wife and I had the calamari,with 2 dipping sauces, regular pasta sauce,and a sweet chili sauce, the calamari was cooked perfectly off to a great start, the others ordered the squash donuts ,said they were very good.Entrees were good ,wife ordered shrimp with vodka sauce,was good but on no way shape or form was it a vodka sauce, like I said it was good anyway.. I had the stuffed fish with seafood in a creamy garlic sauce, was very good just a little to salty... portions are good size for the price! All in all we were all satisfied with our dinning experience! read more

I was really excited to try Aiello's and was disappointed. we were seated in the bar. our table wasn't even clean when we sat down. they were cleaning it while we sat there. it was very loud. we waited over an hour for our food and others that sat down after us got their food first. our waiter was very inattentive. didn't offer us water, didn't take our empty plates from the appetizers. my husband got the prime rib the seasoning wasn't good and it was a lot of fat for $44. the waiter said he would bring bread with our salad that never happened and my husband asked for no sour cream and the waiter brought it out anyway. I felt we paid a lot of money for not a great experience. read more

We stopped in for lunch today. Aiello's did not disappoint. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sub - wow! It was out of this world. Delicious fried chicken with buffalo sauce served on the most amazing sub roll with a blue cheese dressing and lettuce. It came in 2 generous 6-8" sub "halves" This was a gourmet sub! My husband had Lasagna... one of the best he's ever had. Can't wait to return read more

Good Italian food and wonderful atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient. It was worth the drive.

Limoncello cake will keep me coming back. Ordered the eggplant parmigiana and it was pretty good and the service was quick. Nice ambiance.

We stopped in for lunch at 1pm on a Saturday. (2 adults and 2 teenagers) The food was nothing impressive, bland and basic. Clearly could tell it was frozen and they threw it into a microwave and sauce from a jar. The salads were from a bag and most of the lettuce was brown. The waitress, was nice but couldn't get it together. Dropping stuff, brought the wrong drinks, said she'd bring lemon for a seafood dish, never got it. My kids ate with the pasta spoon because we never saw the waitress after getting the food until she was in our face to pay the bill. Decor very outdated, I imagine it was the original decor when they opened in the early 80's. The positive was the owner(s) were present and welcoming. said hello to everyone coming through the door. Even saw one of them walking around talking to the guests. Overall, will not go here again. read more

A Friday evening outing with our daughter and son-in-law at their favorite Italian Restaurant, seemed appropriate. It was a 6 pm reservation, and we were immediately seated in their large dining room. The waitstaff were polite, efficient, and very competitent. Our every wish was taken care of immediately, though the place was packed. Our food came perfectly suited to each of our tastes. I had Chicken Marsala, Meg had Linguine with clams and white wine sauce. Squisito! Our dinner companions enjoyed a marvelous fish dinner and Chicken Parmesian respectively, and proclaimed both perfect. I was the only one to have a dessert. I was stuffed after the meal so I took 2 of their amazing Canolis home. You must have dessert at Aiello's, because everything on their list is made there and is delicious. (It's a restraunt I have freuently frequented, so I speak from experience.) The cocktails exceeded everyone's expectations, by the way. I definitely recommend Aiello's. You will almost certainly be very pleased. I always am. read more
