We arrived for our 6:00 p.m. reservation and were seated immediately. However, it took over 40 minutes for our appetizer to arrive, and our entrées didn't come out until after 7:30, which was an excessive wait. To make matters worse, one of our orders was incorrect--we received white sauce and angel hair pasta instead of the red sauce pasta we had ordered, clearly someone else's custom order. When I brought this to our server's attention, the only solution offered was to remake the dish, which would take additional time. Given how long we had already waited, this was disappointing and unacceptable. It's a real shame, as the food itself was something I genuinely enjoyed

Giuseppe's in Lake George is a reminder that while the food scene in the Village has come a long…read moreway in recent years, it still isn't exactly a food lover's paradise. I'll admit that living near Trenton has made me a little spoiled when it comes to pizza, but even with that in mind, this was not great by any stretch of the national imagination. The main appeal was convenience. Giuseppe's was only a few steps from our hotel, and the idea of eating pizza on the balcony overlooking the lake at sunset sounded too good to pass up. The order was ready quickly, less than thirty minutes, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, despite asking for utensils and plates both on the phone and again in person, they forgot them entirely. A short walk back to the shop solved the problem, and to their credit, the staff handed them over without any fuss. The pizza itself was the kind of food that serves a purpose but not a memory. The crust was too thick and doughy, the sauce had very little character, and the cheese existed mostly to keep everything from falling apart. It was utility-grade food sold at premium tourist-town prices. We knew we were paying that tax going in, but even so, it felt steep for what we got. Still, it did the job. Our family had a meal, the sunset over the lake was beautiful, and we went from phone call to first bite in under forty minutes on a Saturday night. For that, I'll give some credit. But for the pizza itself, there's not much to recommend. Three stars for speed and convenience, not for flavor.

I'd say Mario's is decent, basic Italian food. We were driving through Lake George, got to the end…read moreof the main strip and decided to make a left into Mario's. It was still early for dinner, so it wasn't busy and we were seated right away. Definitely an old school Italian restaurant vibe. The menu is not overwhelming but has plenty of options for varied preferences. Believe it or not, two of my favorite things were the crusty, hot bread (which accompanied the dip that we ordered as an appetizer) and the pile of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the table. I had the stuffed sole with a side of pasta. I chose penne with oil and garlic and a "just right" side portion was served in a small bowl. I added some of that Parmesan from the table and was a happy camper. The sole was flaky and tasty-not fishy....it reminded me of the stuffed sole we would get from our local fish store in NYC when I was a kid. Clams casino were a good appetizer....but it's not really my jam. I prefer just regular stuffed clams (which are not on the menu). The sausage and peppers: a very generous portion that got solid reviews. Lots of pasta and enough leftover for a couple of days. We shared a cannoli to finish the meal...next time I'll try the tiramisu. By the time we left, it was quite busy. Our server was a hoot; I hope she's there next time.

Wine was not chilled, but we will go with the flow. Started with a Caesar salad and my entree was lasagna and we ordered bread which didn't come complimentary and asked that it come with our entree. We waited really long for our salads and our bread arrived at the same time. Grrrr The Caesar was huge and could have easily fed 2 people. Of course, after maybe 6 bites our entree arrived. I just knew this was going to happen and it's exactly what we asked the server to not happen. A different server brought the entrees and when we commented on them being brought out way too early, his response was at least they were hot. Who trains these people???? My lasagna was ok. The sauce was more a tomato sauce than I prefer. Overall, what could have been great was mediocre.

But I'm far and away from the NY-Jersey area at the moment. So based on using Yelp as my search engine, I found this humble joint. At first, it was slow like there are 2 group of customers; an elderly couple and of course, me! I simply love the laid back and homey/comfy atmosphere. And the waitress was attentive and very approachable! Minutes before I left, it got packed! So much so, I feel bad for the waitress who served my food afterwards! The food? OMFG! Very simple and no BS! Their spaghetti & meatballs are to die for! The pasta has the perfect firm texture, mild marinara taste, and very fullfilling meatballs! Their white pizza does not stand out, it was more of a confort food above all else! It has that right amount of crunchiness yet not too oily either! You can really tell that they bake their own bread! During my stint at Americade & DirtDaze, I've visited this place not once, not twice, but THREE FREAKING TIMES!!! I just can't get enough of this place! Awesome service and awesome food! Awesone 1st time pizza joint in Upstate NY area!!

This was my first time visiting Lake George, and Boyfriend had been talking about this restaurant for years, every time we brought up coming here one day. Was a bit worried seeing many other reviews mentioning this place was dirty, but although everything looked super old, it was clean. Some stuff is "good old" - like the decor, cool light fixtures, jukebox etc; other old things such as the AC units and outdated bathrooms, should be upgraded. Pizza was fine! Boyfriend had a pepperoni slice and raved about it... I'm just glad he was so happy :) I had a plain cheese pizza slice, it was fine - very good thin crust but not enough cheese for my taste. At $14 for two slices and two sprites this was the cheapest meal out we've had in a very long time too, lol.

Their hand-tossed pizzas are delicious. I always remember watching the chef kneading and tossing fresh dough from the front window, visiting here always takes me back. After enjoying the day at Oktoberfest we wanted to grab a slice of pizza before heading home. We were able to grab a table right away as most customers were taking their orders to go. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is a bit dated but I do like that they left the old CD juke boxes at the tables, once again, reminiscing about the old days. One downside is the restaurant and restrooms are not very clean. I'm sure there is a lot of people traffic here but they definitely need to improve in this area. We ordered the meat lovers ($27.43) with pepperoni only on one side. Our pie was out in about 20 minutes and was delicious. The large gets you 8 slices, we had four so it worked out to 2 slices each. The pizza was loaded with ingredients and the crust had just the right crispiness and chew. All-in-all, I had a great experience here and recommend them to anyone looking for a great slice of pizza in the Lake George area.

I spoke to hotel employee who told me the place was open, so I sat at one of about 8 tables with my two daughters. After a few minutes a server arrived with menus. We were optimistic. Ordered sampler platter of appetizers, chicken fingers and a pizza. Very specifically told server to put in order of all good at once and bring it out as it was ready. After 15 minutes we were informed that the pilot light for fryer wasn't on, apps were taking a bit longer. Fine. Pizza should be out soon. Shortly after another couple who came in and ordered after us got their pizza. I asked server about that and was informed that pizza hadn't gone into oven yet, they were waiting til appetizers were served. !!!! Had many words with server who acknowledged I said put in entire order at once, but she didn't do it (hello, Orchard Tavern, same thing). Why is this so hard? 45 minutes til any good arrived.
