    The pizza itself. Super tasty and fresh.
    Chris M.

    I was in Binghamton last weekend and was feeling like pizza. Cortese was the immediate choice. Fresh dough, quality toppings and cheese. It's a no brainer. Cortese restaurant is a unique place to eat. The pizza isn't round but rectangular. The pepperoni is under the mozzarella cheese. Everything is fresh. The sauce is unique to the restaurant. A little tomatoey and a little garlicky. Definitely a place to try if you have never been. The vibe inside is friendly and welcoming. Visiting the Southern Tier of NY? definitely worth a visit.

    Really tender super good

    Seriously so delicious. The sampler app was so so but the the entire rest of meal was absolutely fabulous. All the dressings for salads were made fresh and delish. The marinara and Alfredo and pesto sauces all delicious. The veal parm and chicken pesto Alfredo fettuccine were tantalizing go the tastebuds and the pizza was just as great. Great atmosphere and the service from Nancy was top notch 5 stars.

    We went to Frank's again last night. We dined there on NYE 2026, but I had to enjoy Frank's…read moreperfect Filet Mignon, because lasagna wasn't on the NYE menu. No complaints, but I was hankering for their amazing lasagna. It was....you guessed it, amazing! Frank's food, service, prices, and atmosphere all encourage you to keep coming back. The bonus is that everyone gets to meet Frank as he goes table to table greeting each customer. Love this place! Recommed it for eveyone who eats. That includes you.

    First of all the restaurant was gorgeous. I loved the Christmas lights outside. The food was…read moredelicious. We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer and it was very good. For an entree my wife ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce and a side order of shrimp. It was terrific. I ordered the ribeye. It was pretty good. I would say average. I think the onions could have been sautéed a little more but that is just nitpicking. It was a very good steak. We had the blueberry cheesecake for desert and it was great. The service was absolutely second to none. Our server was tremendous. Really elevated the dinner. Our only complaint was that it was a little close seating and there was a very loud gentleman sitting next to us who was swearing and being lewd. Normally doesn't bother me any but didn't like it during my anniversary dinner (and in front of my wife). We will definitely be back.
