Lauro's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria in Canastota, NY for lunch today and we are both glad we…read moregave it a try Service was friendly, very good and the food was also good. 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.

Brought me extra napkins, condiments on the side and s small bag of ice in case I needed it! A step above what most places would do. The loaded steak sandwich & fries were amazing! I would highly recommend this place.

Just a few barflies sitting in the front room, so we went into the dining room which was empty. Our server/bartender was very attentive and great. Guinness was properly poured too. We ordered the steak tips main and the chicken riggies main. Each came with a salad and a small loaf of bread for the whole table to share. Salads were fresh and crunchy. Bread was fresh and soft. Portions were massive and the riggies were a bit hit. The steak was overdone, but ok. The gravy on top however was an odd color and texture without much flavor other than a slight sour tang. The dish would have been better served without the gravy. In any case, we were too full for dessert.

Location was 15 minutes from the fitness center I was at which was perfect. Mind you this is nothing special to look at but the food was amazing !!! I went in with low expectations and hope given that divey places have some of the best food and it did not disappoint. The other plus was this restaurant did have tables for eat in dining. Food was brought out piping hot by the sweetest young woman. Prices were reasonable and portion sizes were huge. I ordered a small order and ended up with left overs to bring home . I f you are looking for linen table clothes and napkins this isn't the place for you but if you are looking for amazing chinese food, clean restaurant, and warm and friendly staff this is the place to go. This comes highly recommended and if I could give more stars I would. I will definitely be back.

The pasta was hot & delicious. The chicken was not. It's that pre-formed chicken with the fake grill marks & air bubbles. Lord, why? Why lower the standard of your food?

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.

Cute little Diner that looks like a patchwork cabin on the outside but an expanse of coziness and…read moresize on the inside. Food was insanely quick, i would go so far as saying fastest prime rib ive ever gotten. Mac Salad had tuna in it (not a complaint in fact i liked it more but not everyone will like that so just a heads up). Mashed and gravy was really good. Whipped and the beef gravy was so savory. The prime rib came with au jus on the side but itself was not very flavorful, the gravy and au jus helped. The service was pleasant but decently spaced out time wise for drink refills. Overall really good and would go back to try other things. $50 for 2 meals, tax, and tip. Not bad.

Being unfamiliar with the area, we were looking for a place to grab a quick bite for lunch. Our…read moreadult daughter found this diner on Google. We should have known by the outside appearance/condition of the building that we were making a BIG mistake. The exterior is in different states of damage and disrepair, the door at the entrance with the handicap ramp only opens 2/3rds of the way, then it gets stuck on the handicap ramp. Once inside, the decor hasn't been updated since 1955 by the looks of things, especially the FILTHY and disgusting carpeting that was ripped and dirty. The bathroom floor was uneven, and stuck to your shoes. The menu is a couple of sheets of paper, with a row of staples down their edge, to hold it together. The food was sub-par, especially the french fries that were grossly under cooked. We sent the first batch of them back, and the waiter brought us a fresh batch that wasn't much better than the first ones. He said they couldn't cook them any more or they would "burn"...They were still under cooked on the inside. I had a "crispy chicken sandwich ($11.99), that was like a frozen patty. If you wanted ANY toppings, like pickles, lettuce, tomato, EACH item cost an extra .75, and there's NO sauce or ANY type of condiment that comes on or with the sandwich. Our daughter ordered the "Sampler platter", which consisted of onion rings, two small chicken tenders (first bite was nasty, couldn'teat that "tender"), and a couple mozzarella sticks. That plate came with a small dish of marinara sauce, and a small plastic cup of an unidentifiable orange colored sauce. My wife had a basic hamburger. The girls drank water, I ordered a root beer. Even the soda was tasteless when it arrived! The bill came to $54.32, before the tip. Definitely would NOT go back there when we're in that area again.

I'm going 4.5 stars here. For those that have older reviews, try this place again…read more A little hole in the wall place in Canastota Ny. My buddy and I walked in to a rather empty bar with a very nice bartender who greeted us. Started with a Sierra Nevada Hazy IPA which was cold and in a chilled glass. They had 50 cent wings so we ordered up a dozen hot. They came out, looked pretty good but were not hot. Temp wise they were great but not hot so I asked what other sauces they had. They bought out: Hot sauce Gojuchang Pineapple jalapeño vodka hot sauce Mango habanero tequila hot sauce I tried all the sauces but kept going back to a combo of the mango habanero and gojuchang, it was addictive. These were so good that we got another dozen and I ordered a switchback ale to wash it down. The bartender and her mom the owner did everything to thoroughly show us a great time and we appreciated their good company and some great beer and wings. Try this place if you haven't, try it again if you have. If the wings were hotter (spicier), I could see myself going 5 stars, they did a great job

Calling it a diner may not be fair, but based on the prices and the food, I would say it is closer to diner fare than anything else. This is not to say it is not good. The garlic bread served before dinner was excellent, and was refilled with no problem. I tried the haddock dinner. The fish was meh and served with a side of pre-packaged tartar. Everyone else at my table had some variant of italian: chicken parm, stuffed shells, and ravioli. The chicken parm was basically chicken fingers covered in a red sauce with some mozzarella cheese...not very inspired. The cheese ravioli and stuffed shells looked and tasted very good. Two of my compadres ordered dessert - french silk pie and apple dumpling some thing or another - both looked good. For 4 of us, with 2 beers, a round of sodas, and 4 meals (including salads), and 2 desserts it came to $67 - not bad. If you're looking for a hole in the wall in Canastota (not known for fine dining anyway), the Three Pines will suit you just well.
