Now for the food when trying a new restaurant that serves pizza and wings! You start with the basics pepperoni pizza Sicilian style and mild "buffalo " wings ( as a Buffalo WNY guy I hesitate to call them Buffalo wings) The pizza was doughy and the cheese pull was great ! The wings were sauced and tossed perfectly with a house made mild sauce that had a tang but not too much served with house made ranch that wasn't even needed because the sauce was perfect! I am sad only to the fact I passed by this place over a 1000 times in the last 12 years and I just discovered it! This place is exceptional!

My husband and I ate one lunch here. The owners and their employees provided very timely and friendly service. We bought a small pierogi pizza, a Turners iced tea, and a Nutty Buddy specialty sundae, and we rate everything as 4.5 to 5 stars. The total price was about $25 plus tip. Please note that the restaurant charges 3% for credit cards. A small seating area is located inside the restaurant and also outside the ice-cream shop.

I got to try their cheddar potato pierogies as well as a chocolate wafer, apricot drink, and kvas from the store part. The pierogies were great. Warm and fluffy on the inside. Filled to the brim with potato and cheese. A bit oily, though. Good amount of onion on top without being overwhelming, and a solid price for the portion. Definitely delicious. And, all the items from the store were great too. The wafer was pretty basic for the price, but still good. Great apricot drink, super refreshing. And the kvas...I missed this a lot.

You simply can't beat the food here, and you get a ton of it. Do not fill up on the bread before your entree arrives, because the portion sizes are HUGE. I got another full meal out of mine the next day, and it was just like raiding an Italian grandma's fridge. My wife got a two leftover meals from hers. I'm sure the apps and deserts are equally as good, but I can't see ordering one knowing that a giant plate of hot pasta is on the way. The wine list is very basic, and I honestly don't know what brand of red blend they brought me, but it was very good anyway. It's kind of quaint in the face of so many other places flexing huge lists while their food is boring. They also have a full bar and several specialty cocktails. My wife enjoyed her watermelon something-or-other. At the end of the meal they serve complimentary limoncello and the tiniest little almond cookies. Very nice. Okay, so why am I giving them a 4? Two reasons- location and service. If you don't already know where Cenacolo is located, good luck finding it. It's tucked away in the middle of a residential area in what looks like a mostly vacant mixed office and light industrial complex, and they share a long approach with a postal sorting facility. It's pretty well hidden, and GPS will have trouble getting you there. Once you do find it, the interior is very dated and well worn. It feels like a basement and could use a refresh. The second issue we had was slow service. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our drink order, but after that we spent a lot of time waiting for things and trying to get her attention. She also looked like she had just worked a double shift in the kitchen, with her all black outfit covered with stains and flour. It was a bit off-putting. Regardless, I'll be back again soon and often. This place is great, and the food far outweighs any negatives.

It's a cozy counter-style restaurant run by a friendly and cheerful owner who happens to be a working-class woman. She greeted us warmly and took our order with a smile. She even wore a cool shirt that read, "The Pizza of Your Dreams," which I wish they had displayed on the wall. While she was taking our order, her assistant was busy crafting pizzas and Stromboli in the background. The aroma of freshly rolled dough and sizzling toppings filled the air, making our mouths water. We ordered a 14-inch pizza with two sodas for a reasonable price of $17. After paying, she kindly informed us that there was limited seating and suggested we enjoy our meal outdoors, given the beautiful weather. As we waited, we noticed a steady stream of delivery drivers coming and going, indicating that this is a popular spot for takeout. After about 15 to 20 minutes, our pizza arrived, accompanied by a smile and some paper plates and plastic silverware. We eagerly opened the box and were greeted by a visually appealing creation. We opted for the sausage and pepper pizza, and it lived up to our expectations. The cheese was perfectly golden, and the crust was cooked to perfection. Each bite was a delightful combination of flavors, with a subtle spiciness that wasn't overpowering. The seasoning was spot on, and we could taste the fermentation of the dough from the yeast. While it's challenging to please everyone with pizza, Diddlebugs truly excels in using high-quality ingredients and paying meticulous attention to detail. The cheese and tomatoes were fresh and flavorful, free from the greasy residue of cheap cheese. If you're staying at the hotel down the highway or passing through, Diddlebugs is definitely worth a stop. We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza, but unfortunately, we only had the chance to try it once. I can only share our positive experience with you.

I would say in that time we have ordered just about everything on the menu. While we have moved half an hour away, we still make the trip for the food. That stops today. It took the waitress 25 mins to bring a salad and hot cheese balls. Firstly we thought they changed and were now a finger food establishment as we didn't get silverware. Then we noticed the cheese balls not only being room temp but also did not arrive w sauce. The waitress never came back for us to ask for sauce. The croutons on the salad were stale beyond belief. Inedible. Then the entrees arrived. What happened??? What did you do to the alfredo? There was no flavor and very little of it. We know what this sauce can taste like and that wasn't it. The broccoli was hard and seemed as if they just added it at the end, raw. The waitress never came back after dropping off the food. We never got refills. To say I am sad and disappointed would be the understatement of the year. I cannot stress enough how this failed all previous expectations. An hour and 15 mins for hot cheese balls, alfredo & a Stromboli is a bit much. Had this been the quality we know it can be, it wouldn't have mattered. No more road trips. Plenty of free parking on and off street. There is a ramp but I will warn you, it's long and a decently high grade. Inside there are booths and regular tables. Enough room to walk through the rooms or use a wheelchair, walker, scooter or cane. Noise level is low. You feel a part of the restaurant but not too close to those around you. Decor is simple and honestly what you might expect from an Italian restaurant. Kitchen is visible but you don't hear or see much from it.
