Serve a couple of those or go buy bread!! Have Walmart deliver fresh rolls! Anything! Improvise! It should have been a great meal and it ended up just being okay. The meal & a bottle soda cost $23.66. Pass on the chicken & just order riggies.

This is a great place to come for a meal. The menu is quite varied and there are also some daily specials. I must say that with our large group, no one complained about their meal. The meatball subs were devoured and a few people got the Ruben's all of which came with either regular fries or sweet potato fries. I ordered an antipasto salad, which was so big that I can only eat half and have the other half for dinner. It was served in a takeout container so they knew full well that I wouldn't be able to finish it. Service is friendly and upbeat.

The service was impeccable. Our server was great, but the star of the evening was Ava. There was an initial problem with our arrangements, but Ava went out of her way to handle it seamlessly--so much so that the rest of our party didn't even realize there had been a glitch until we joked about it on our way out. Service like that is rare and deeply refreshing. Every dish hit the mark: Flank Steak Crostini: Super tender and beautifully marinated. Calamari Fritti: An unexpected delight--pan-fried and seasoned rather than heavily breaded. Margherita Pizza: A generous, delicious personal pie. Mafaldine Bolognese: Perfectly al dente pasta with rich sauce. Frutta di Mare Fra Diavolo: The house-made fettuccine paired beautifully with fresh seafood. The ambiance is relaxed yet upscale compared to most Cooperstown spots. We will definitely return.

I was shocked at the 45 minute wait time for some chicken wings but, I saw how busy they were when I go there. I loved the atmosphere when I walked in. It was busy at the bar and restaurant but no one was waiting for a seat. That's a great sign. Immediately, I was asked if I had an order. I told the gentleman I could wait but he went back and put a rush on the wings. Within 10 minutes I had the wings, and an apology for how long it took. Although, it was well before my 45 minute pick up time. The parking lot is a bit cramped but there's not much room to expand. Besides, they have been there since I was a kid. The wings were so good. They came with blue cheese, celery, and carrots. Overall, this place is well above 5 stars. I can't wait to dine in and visit the bar side. Great service and I hope they stay open for another 40+ years.

I ordered Sausage Parm - local Basilo's Sausage with onions, sauce & mozzarella Cheese $ 7.99. Sub Bread was home made and tasted great which added to the taste of my sandwich which was also very large. Friend ordered their Italian Trio - Salami, Capicola, & Loads of Fresh Ham $8.99, All Quality cold cuts and extremely large. My next order for lunch. Even though mine was good, I was Jealous We both brought home half our subs. Nice Draft Beer - Craft selection. Tried their meatballs personally everyone has different taste for their meatballs - 6.5 out of 10. So in summary for lunch this could be a 'HOT' Hidden Gem in Canastota. For dinner if you are looking for Pizza, Subs, but want Beer, wine etc. Try them. Entrees are limited.

Giving it 4 stars because of the pizza. I read all the reviews on here and had higher expectations…read moreof this place. Let me start out by first saying the pizza was great. I had 3 slices, a pepperoni, a chicken bacon ranch and a Buffalo chicken slice. The pepperoni was decent. The chicken bacon ranch was definitely pretty tasty but I was blown away by the Buffalo chicken slice, it definitely out did the others. Would rate the slices a 4.5/5. I've never been a huge buffalo chicken slice fan because I hate loads of grease dripping off my slice and the flavor has never been there for me, but whatever these guys are doing with this works, so this is something I would order again. I also ordered a large Turkey sub with American, LTO and Mayo... definitely sub par for sure (pun intended). All lettuce and not a lot of meat...was very surprised as it was roughly $15 and probably 2 slices of Turkey all the way through, so probably a total of 6-7 smaller sized slices for a large sub. Would rate the sub a 2.5/5. I will definitely be back for the pizza! Hoping they see this and throw a little more meat on their subs next time especially for the price. All in all Chittenango Pizza loads their slices up with toppings which I appreciate. Who wants a skimpy slice of pie? Service was great, ambiance was comfortable, I appreciate that it's the old Pizza Hut, kind of nostalgic and decorated with wizard of oz knick knacks etc which is typical for the town :-)

I now know that this unassuming restaurant has some of the friendliest staff and best prepared food in the Utica area. I can't wait to go back. With a full roster of reservations scheduled for their dining room, the four of us walked in and slotted up at the bar for dinner with front row seats to the action in the kitchen. First up: spicy and flavorful Utica greens covered in a healthy sprinkling of cheese. Would order again. After chatting with the owner, we ordered two scallop pasta dishes, a steak sandwich, and chicken Parm (which they were kind enough to make with fra diavolo sauce for my spice lord husband). EVERYTHING was impeccable, and I was honestly tempted to pick up my plate and lick it clean - that's how good the seared scallops over linguine were. Pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was light, well seasoned and well balanced (and not actually on their menu, so bonus points for being willing and able to pull that out on the fly!). In and out in about an hour, though we never felt rushed. We're looking forward to trying more apps and staying for an espresso and dessert next time!

I started my meal with a Macallan 12-Year-Old Scotch, which I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good Scotch. For appetizers, I tried the chicken pastina soup and the stuffed mushrooms. The soup was delicious and full of flavor. While I generally enjoy mushrooms, the stuffing combination just wasn't to my taste. For my entrée, I ordered the Veal Parmigiana. The veal cutlet was generously sized, lightly breaded, and cooked perfectly without being over-fried. The sauce complemented the dish well, with a balanced flavor that wasn't overly acidic. My dining companion ordered the Tortellini Carbonara and said it was very good, although quite rich. She enjoyed it but could only finish about half of the portion. The restaurant is easy to access and offers ample parking in a well-lit lot. Inside, the dining room is attractive and tastefully appointed. The lighting is dim enough to create a pleasant atmosphere without making it difficult to see your meal. Our server was excellent: attentive, professional, and friendly without being overly intrusive. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Syracuse area.

The waitress said no problem, just give me a minute. She had us seated in just a few minutes. Five stars for just that. Our party ordered the Meat Sauce Spaghetti, Chicken Marsala, Lasagna and The Ravioli. Fresh hot bread with the house dipping sauce was brought to the table just prior to the salads. The bread was fresh and delicious. The salad dressing is made in house and was amazing. The entrees were huge and didn't disappoint. Everything was so fresh and made with love and respect. We were looking for an Italian meal and we left throughly pleased. The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood. Parking is not the best, but the restaurant has almost a family style appeal. As you enter, there is a bar area with several tables and on toward the restaurant is a drop down area which is another dining area. There is also an outdoor area, but not sure when it would be used. All in all, I would highly recommend. Great Service, Great Food and Memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Again!!!

We were served drinks quickly and brought a delicious loaf of Italian bread. The wine and cocktails were fine. Our salads followed shortly with only 2 choices of dressing, a strong balsamic or ranch dressing. The salad was ok. Some mixed greens and a couple cherry tomatoes. Then we waited and waited and waited. It took well over an hour for our entrees to arrive. We were not checked on during the long wait. When we finally got our food it was mixed reviews. I ordered the scallops and was surprised that was all I got. No side pasta or vegetable at all. It looked pretty with dual sauces but the taste was just ok. I tried some one else's side of pasta with marinara and it was acidic for my taste. Two of my sons enjoyed their dishes. One a mushroom cream pasta and one a chicken riggie pasta. Both were good. My niece tasted too much condensed milk in her Alfredo but enjoyed the shrimp that came with it. The cod that my sister in law got had a good texture and taste. My aunt didn't like her pasta Juliano dish. My Uncle loved his meal. This place is a bit too pricey for what you get and they definitely need to improve the service time.
