Soni's, I discovered on my first visit there with the Wife for lunch, is pretty much always busy…read morefor a very good reason. The food is made, just, exactly, right. I got veal piccata over angel hair. It was great. (no bread brought to table, which wasn't the kitchen's fault) The caper sauce was very good. I like veal piccata every now and then when I go out for Italian. It's really more of a fusion dish from the 1300's, when Italy (which didn't exist yet) was on all trade routes. Veal piccata pre-dates the intro of tomatoes to Europe by a few hundred years, it's really a culinary window back in time, Italian food-wise. Anyways, loved the veal piccata. Linda got a burger with fries. In the future, I'm thinking I'm getting anything at Soni's that comes with French fries. Soni's fries were so much better than any fries I have ever gotten, anywhere, that other than just saying, "the fries were the crunchiest, crispiest, internal texture bestest, that I have eaten in my life French fries!", anything more is futile. I CANNOT tell you how great these fries were. IANK! (I am not kidding) Overall, I will be back at Soni's sooner rather than later. I want to try the artichoke dip for one thing. And the interior of Soni's is beautiful. They don't rush you. The waitress really was great, just overall, a place to "...sit back and enjoy a long, slow, Italian lunch." As my friend Vince Dinsio used to say. I know Mr. V would have loved Soni's too. Linda, the wife loves Soni's. I can't imagine NOT loving Soni's.

One of the most amazing dinners I've had the pleasure of having in Youngstown (which is hard to…read moresay!). The drinks were phenomenal, the appetizers were amazing (especially the star of the show, the sweet ricotta board). The salad was incredible and tasted so fresh. And the pasta was to die for. I had the carbonara, which was so creamy and delicious, with an incredible flavor profile. The spicy rigatoni alla vodka was one of the most amazing sauces I'd ever taste. The slightest spice from the calabrian chilis really made the dish. I loved how perfectly coursed each plate was, I never felt overwhelmed with the amount of food in front of me. Our server was absolutely fantastic, I can't remember his name but he was taller with dark hair and glasses. The hostesses were also so friendly, and they were able to sit us an hour before our reserved time so we didn't have to wait at the bar! This place had the BEST people watching! It wasn't too loud, or too bright, and all of the old photos on the walls were so cool to look at (as well as the vespa above the kitchen)! I would highly, highly recommend this place. One of the best experiences I've had in Youngstown.

About 5 minutes later the waiter came out of the back room and went to the table of 4 next to us and told them they weren't taking no more tables. Then he came and told us the same thing. He said they had 30 people coming in in a little bit and couldn't wait on anybody else. And this was at 6pm. It appears that the restaurant has only one, stressed out male server that takes care of the whole restaurant. I guess I'll never know how good their food is.

Same with our waitress. We could hear the people arriving right after us receiving info on specials... so I don't think it was timing. We both ordered ribeye... my husband's was blackened. It was bland and had no spice or crust whatsoever. Mine was Covered in blue cheese and balsamic glaze. Those two elements overpowered the meal... because my steak was also bland with seemingly no seasoning whatsoever. Neither steak was cooked to our order, the quality was poor. Very fatty.

What a find! Went with my good friends and their 4‑month‑old and had a fantastic meal…read more The complimentary pizza bread and warm bread were divine--the pizza crust was perfectly crispy outside, chewy inside--with a clearly homemade sauce that had the perfect spice balance. Entrees come with a choice of soup or salad; one friend had the wedding soup, while the other two of us upgraded to the Caesar for $2--well worth it. Generous portion, fresh crunchy lettuce, and both shaved and grated Parmesan.The dressing came on the side. Service was impeccable: water glasses never ran dry and empty plates/bread baskets were cleared before we noticed. The restaurant was busy, so food wasn't instant, but everything arrived hot and delicious with no complaints. The staff definitely deserve a shout out for anticipating our needs and taking such good care of us. The menu looks extensive (we didn't order drinks), and there's a separate seasonal drinks list with cocktails and mocktails. Seating includes a large dining room and booths that easily fit big family groups; the vibe was lively and welcoming. Portions are generous--many people including all three of us left with takeout boxes with leftovers. A couple of tips: make a reservation if you can--we arrived at 5:00 and luckily were seated right away, but there was a wait by the time we left 90 minutes later. Also, the place is very family‑friendly: they offered us a car‑seat carrier for the baby, which made the visit stress‑free. Highly recommend for great Italian food, solid portions, and warm service in Cortland.

Well, everyone loved their food, and the service was exceptional. I got the chicken francaise with angel hair pasta instead of rice -- I expected this to be great but it very much exceeded my expectations. Service was quick, thorough, friendly... I really can't say enough. The cherry on top was when they unexpectedly brought out a few small ice cream dishes for the three children we had at the table. Down to every detail, they created a wonderful experience. Will be back next trip :)
