Delicious pasta! Better than Thompson and Bleecker and perhaps my favorite restaurant in Ithaca!…read more We tried the eggplant roll appetizer which was warm and very cheesy. The anchovy salad was also good (I prefer the white anchovies which they used). The salad was also quite generous with the cheese. I enjoyed dipping the warm bread in the leftover eggplant cheese/sauce. For mains we tried the chicken, black spaghetti, and the pappardelle. I love mushrooms, so the pappardelle was my favorite. A rather simple buttery sauce which allowed the flavor of the mushrooms to really come through. Delicious! I don't usually like to re-order the same dish when returning to restaurants, but this was so good when I come back I will definitely be getting this again! Black spaghetti and chicken were also good- no complaints here. For dessert we tried the panna cotta which was a tiny bit on the runny side though I am just being picky. It was very tasty and not too sweet. The tiramisu was also good (on the boozier side). The desserts were rather small but the mains were all quite hefty portion sizes. Reservations were rather inconvenient to snag though definitely not too hard. Overall, I really enjoyed Gola Osteria and will have to return to try more of their pastas!

Visited BG Budas for lunch with a couple friends. Server was nice enough, but service itself was…read moremuch slower than expected (especially because there were very few people there at the time). Server also didn't write down our orders, and then brought out one of the orders incorrectly... which, unfortunately, my friend didn't feel like she could send back because everything was taking so long. Food itself was okay... but could use more flavor. For example, a friend and I split the lobster corn fritters (fresh Maine lobster, sweet corn, asiago, cilantro, honey mustard, and sriracha). The fritters were almost entirely corn, and I tasted no hint of asiago or the cilantro (and I like cilantro, so I tend to pick up on the taste pretty easily... but there was nothing). The pizza I ordered for my main dish was fine... if perhaps a bit undercooked. One of my friends ordered a pizza with tomatoes on it, and it came out with large, rectangle chunks of tomato covering the pizza (red and yellow tomatoes). At first, she though the yellow tomatoes were pineapple chunks because of the size. She figured out they were tomatoes, but the amount of them on the pizza itself made it a bit awkward to eat. Ambiance was interesting. It feels welcoming enough, but the door to the outside patio was open and there were numerous flies that would seemingly dive-bomb my friends and I during our meal. Because the door was open, it was also a bit muggy inside the restaurant itself. Anyway... would I/we rush back? Probably not. And I certainly wouldn't grab lunch here again just because of how much time it took.

They remember my order, never forget my extra pickles, and always make sure I get plenty of their amazing house-made BBQ sauce (seriously, please keep it forever!). I'm especially grateful this was added as a lunch option on campus during the summer when so many other places are closed. It's made finding a reliable, delicious lunch so much easier. Great food, wonderful people, and outstanding service. I highly recommend stopping by for their lunch menu before the summer ends !!

We stayed at the Statler Hotel for work and enjoyed dinner here both nights.

I personally wasn't a fan of the fried polenta, but also did not try it with the sauce. The first night I tried their lavender lemonade (non alcoholic), which I thought was good, but fell in with the Lemon Tree cocktail the second night. Both nights I ordered the "burger of the month" which was a pesto burger. I added bacon and asked for a Caesar salad instead of fries. We ordered two of the chicken bites so the group could try both sauces, but since I'm not a fan of spicy, I only tried the honey truffle one and loved it. Our servers were very nice and patient (we were a group of about 10), and if I'm ever back in town, I'll be sure to try some of the other entrees!

He realised he'd made a mistake and texted my friend afterwards, but the whole experience was really upsetting. I've never been accused of being drunk just because of my accent. I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you're not American.

Today was a very surprising day regarding our CTP order. We've ordered from there 2 times before…read morevia Grub Hub once they popped up as serving our address. The first time they delivered normally, and the food was very good, the second time we ordered our order was canceled right away as there was no driver available. That's totally understandable no issue there. Then a few days ago we called and ordered an extra-large baked ziti pie to pick up on the way home and that was also excellent. This order however was one of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had in my life. About 90 minutes after our order was placed we received a call from CTP telling us that their delivery driver walked out once they saw the order was going to Brooktondale. And that they don't deliver to our area / have been having trouble with Grub Hub showing that they do. But they're going to have the owner or manager on duty deliver our food personally and not to worry because it has been under a heat lamp, so it'll still be hot. At this point I'm wondering why they didn't just cancel our order right off the bat, I mean if you don't want to deliver to where we are then don't do it. Take responsibility for your business and take care of the issue with Grub Hub while canceling orders out side of your delivery area. Without fail the food comes and the pizza is barely luke warm, basically cold and not very appealing. The sides we ordered however were fine, so we called Grub Hub hoping to either get our pizza replaced or get a refund so that we could order from somewhere else. The Grub Hub rep calls CTP and is told by a manager named John that they won't issue a refund for something they can't see but they offered to send out a driver with a new pizza and pick up the old one. I asked if there would be some kind of time estimate / guarantee that this wouldn't happen again since they don't deliver to our area but are now willing to re-deliver to our area??? The Grub Hub rep talked to John and came back with the following options that all required us to call CTP directly to set up a replacement. 1. Schedule a replacement / pickup delivery with no time guarantee because it's a busy Friday night. 2. Drive the pizza back to CTP ourselves and pick up a refund for the pizza and a new pizza. We decided to go with option two, so we got off the phone with Grub Hub and called CTP only to be told that John wasn't there and there's not going to be a manager available until Wednesday. When I asked if there was anyone else to talk to we were told no that we needed to call back on Wednesday. I asked how we were supposed to get our pie replaced and if I was supposed to keep it until Wednesday and I was put on hold and then hung up on. Not wanting to give up without checking on all options we called the number back that had called us earlier to tell us why our order was so late. Immediately I was met with someone yelling at me about how I was told to never call them again which isn't true. I then tried to ask about what I'm supposed to do with the pizza and the man yelled that "They know where we live" so I need to stop calling them back. When I said "What?" the man repeated himself that we need to stop calling because "They know where we live". At this point after clearly being threatened I got off the phone and called the Tompkins county Sherriff and described the situation. They dispatched a trooper to our house for my wife and I to give them a statement as I wanted to make sure this was documented in case this individual wound up doing something crazy. After the trooper left we then called Grub Hub back and due to the new circumstances, they refunded our pizza and the tip. It's important to note that I only wanted to be refunded for the pie and now tip because of the complete lack of service and being threatened. We still paid for the sides because we're not greedy or bad people just trying to get a free meal. If I could give this place negative stars I would, suffice to say we will never be going back to this place again and I will tell anyone that will listen about the terrible experience that we had tonight. If you value your family's safety I'd recommend not ordering from this establishment.

Pronto Craft Pizza & Artful Salads is a fairly new eatery in the Collegetown area of Ithaca -…read morehaving only opened back in October 2020. I haven't been in Collegetown for months and months due to COVID-19, but I've been trying to support restaurants and employees in Ithaca by ordering takeout and delivery... so Pronto seemed like a fun option to try. I ordered two pizzas - a White Mushroom Pizza (thin crust with added sausage), and a Cilantro Corn Pizza (which I *thought* I only noted to say "minimal jalapenos" in terms of customization... but apparently, I checked a box on the ordering system to say "No Corn & Jalapeños", which was my mistake... and I had to double-check my receipt to see what the issue was, because I was originally taken aback when opening the pizza box... but no, that issue was on me). I also ordered a Blackberry Goat Cheese Salad with added sunflower seeds and golden raisins (and ciabatta bread)... dressing on the side. Originally, my order was scheduled to be delivered at 12:19pm... but it actually was delivered ~40 minutes later at 1pm, and the pizza definitely seemed like it had been sitting around for a while or something, as both pizzas were very, very cold. The presentation for the white mushroom pizza wasn't great, as it came with just giant globs of ricotta on top and just generally didn't look great (it looked VERY dry, and had honestly little to no flavor at all)... I expected something much more thoughtfully put together. The cilantro and corn pizza itself isn't one I can really review, considering I messed up ordering that one. Both pizzas were smaller than expected. All in all, this was a fairly "meh" experience. I'm not holding my ordering mishap against Pronto, but the white mushroom pizza was pretty lacking (in flavor and presentation), delivery took longer than expected, and my food arrived very cold. I still want to order and support local around the Rochester / Ithaca / Syracuse areas... but with so many other restaurants deserving support, I don't expect to order from Pronto again in the near future.

Another closed place and a late review--better late than never, right? Enzo's Pizzeria was such an…read moreinteresting experience, to say the least. It was hands down the weirdest thing I've ever encountered in Ithaca. I decided to try their Chicken Gyro Entree, and it was an eye-watering $28 (what!). As a native New Yorker, I was desperately missing the halal food carts that I used to have access to in the city. Now, in Ithaca, I was craving that familiar taste of home, so I figured--why not give their gyro a try? I looked past the steep price point in hopes of finding something that reminded me of those beloved street carts. Unfortunately, it did the exact opposite. The gyro didn't taste anything like the authentic New York City street food. It was like a knockoff version where nothing tasted quite right. It was so off yet it looked similar, I couldn't believe it. Seriously, if you're ever in Ithaca and get a hankering for a gyro that reminds you of the Big Apple, steer clear of Enzo's. This experience was just plain weirddddddddddd. So, lesson learned: sometimes, it's better to stick with what you know and love from home!
