    Great venu
    Joel H.

    I had the pleasure of coming DeSalvo's for a meeting / lunch. This is just a delightful little shop (not too little). Easy to find and plenty of street parking which made it really easy to park (right across the street.) The group I was with had the upstairs which was perfect for our meeting that turned into lunch. The downstair had a seating area along with the bar. Upstairs did not have windows but had plenty of light. Cool rustic setting which I'm noticing at a lot of the upstate restaurants. We had our meeting first then went into our buffet style lunch which worked out very nicely. Salad, sausage and peppers, eggplant and ziti. Everything was hot, tasty, fresh and plentiful. I'm always concerned about the dried out or soon to be mushy food from buffets, that was definitely not the case here. The staff here was wonderful. Even though is was buffet style we had a waitress following up with us for drinks and anything else we needed. I am glad that I had the opportunity to come here and appreciate all the hard work done by everyone. KUDOs to the team at DeSalvos.

    Few choices of Italian in Rome NY - picked this one on a whim while staying here for USPHL HOCKEY NATIONALS. Lovely greeting and recommendations from Margaret our waitress- forgot to take photo of gigantic meatball and salads that we had for appetizers. Enjoyed house wines with friendly service. Solid dishes at a local Italian joint. They have 28 beers on tap. I say try it for yourself and definitely ask "what would you recommend?" Chicken Sinatra was the winner of the two dishes both were very tasty!

    For the good: great service. Thought our waitress was awesome and pleasant personality. Very attentive. Also good is their beer selection. I recommend the Georgia peach. The house salad with the balsamic vinegarette was also great. Great ambience inside with cool decor and nice music playing outside when you walk in. For the bad: unfortunately the main course which is what we came for just was subpar. Lacked Italian flavor. I had this dish that was chicken parm with peppers and onions with potatoes. I didn't think the sauce was flavorful... honesty It was bland. The chicken had a weird chewy texture that honestly I've never ever had in my life. Almost thought it was raw but it wasn't. But felt like it when biting into it. For that I have to give two stars. Had high hopes but hey at least the beer and salad was good.

    I only had an appetizer but it was very good and was something I've never had before: ***loaded tater tots*** Ambience is nice. Nice decor. Very good tap selection. Has the feel of a local joint.

    When in Rome hit this place up. Staff is great and a nice draft beer selection. Food is well done. Rome has a few Italian places and they are right up there. My dad loves the eggplant and portions are a nice size.

    Nice small Italian restaurant. Staff are friendly. Stopped here on the way back from the Adirondacks and needed to get fish Friday. Fish is great.

    I'm only in town for the weekend and happened upon this place last night. We walked in and didn't realize they were closing but they still served us with no issue. The food was AMAZING and very authentic. Actually, I couldn't be less Italian so I have no idea if it was authentic, but it was still really good. I highly recommend the meatballs and fried ravioli.

    I only had pizza here. Judging solely on that. The crust was burnt and when i picked up a slice all the cheese immediately fell off. After i scraped the pizza back up and placed the mess on my plate... It was surprisingly tasty. Definitely a knife and fork affair.

    Delicious Shrimp Scampi dish!

    I love the Frank Sinatra music they play outside, it keeps the rip rap away and adds a lot of class

    First time to this Rome original. Rather unassuming exterior and relatively standard bar interior…read more Plenty of space and seating areas, an outdoor patio awaits for the warmer months. Prompt greeting by restaurant staff, and fast service. Pretty impressive, as waitstaff aren't so plentiful in the new normal. The food - so, I went purely by my coworker's recommendations- and that's how we played it. Started with the peppers and cheese - hot Hungarian longs with an oil and chili paste from what I could taste, served with several slices of provolone and thin sliced Italian bread. This was spectacular! Word to the wise, the oil can squirt out of the peppers pretty hot! For the main event, I went for the "World Famous Burger". A 1/2 lb burger on a luscious sesame seed bun. The burger was grilled to perfection and perfectly medium rare - the only thing that I would note is that it could have had more seasoning to the burger itself. Served with Terrell's ridged chips - no deep fryer availability for fries apparently.

Could definitely see it as a go to spot for locals to come watch some games with friends over drinks. Staff interactions we had were friendly enough. The space for the party was nice enough with plenty of room for the size of party we had plus more if it were larger. Food wise there was salad, chicken tenders, pasta and pizzas. I tried all of it expect the salad. Nothing was outright awful that had me not finishing it. At the same time though I would not have classified any of it as good or worth going out of your way to try it. I preferred the chicken over the pizza if I had to pick. A spot where the food is likely better after some drinking.

Word of caution restaurant is not handicapped or limited mobility accessible. This was a big issue for me as I was recovering from my second ankle surgery due to a fracture. There was a slightly unexpected raised elevation to get into restaurant and I tripped which caused me to injury my ankle which I had surgery on. Restaurant had several changes in elevation not to mention no handicapped bathroom. This would make it difficult for those who have limited mobility. And not all changes are marked or highlighted it makes it a major hazard. Wings were crispy but were overcooked and dry. Given the cost of wings this was very disappointing. Pizza was good but there are a lot of great Pizzerias in the area so, the bar was set very high. Wait Staff were attentive but food to me was mediocre and given issues getting around restaurant probably would not attempt to go back until I have fully healed.
