The food is absolutely delicious, and the servings are huge. Bonnie (the waitress) was extremely wonderful and attentive without being overbearing. The cook, Alaric, is fantastic and quick, crafting exceptional plates of food. I will be back every time I'm in the area! read more

Do I recommend this business? Absolutely ! This is an adorable little local restaurant. It was busy but we were pretty much seated very quickly. Our waitress had one speed, super sonic speed! I believe her name was Bonny, she was such a happy and pleasant young lady with a smile that never left her face. She was hopping from table to table working non stop. The young lady that was cleaning table also did an amazing job. The food, was served quick and hot and delicious. Would stop again if in town. read more

Our experience here was great! We had a group of 7 and we were able to sit right away, however they only have 1 table for groups 6 and over so it could be hit or miss (we were there at 10:30am on a Saturday in Nov). The food was great, service was nice, would highly recommend if you're looking for a diner style breakfast near the lake. read more

Very small, crowded with no room. They seated us under a low ceiling furnace. I'm 6.2" and hit my head more than once so I had to tilt my head down when getting out of the booth. Door was average at best. Takes a while to get and not hot. There's better places to go for a good breakfast. read more

Great food. Friendly and relaxing environment Service is fast. Very clean establishment.

Stopped here for lunch while working in Geneva. I was so impressed by the taste and quality of food we received at this little place. The Philly cheeses teak sandwich was delicious and surprisingly not greasy - which is very difficult to achieve. The machine salad was good, and my coworker enjoyed her wrap. I would come here again if I was in the area! read more

Went on a girls trip to Finger Lakes. Leaving on Sunday and wanted a good breakfast. Looked up some places and Tucci's was highly rated. So we tried. It's a little place right on the road. Parking is at a premium. So be ready. It's a cute place. Seats around 30 maybe a bit more of if I had to guess. We all got something different. Mostly everyone got eggs, potatoes, and bacon or sausage. It was very good. Prices were good and the food was good as well. The owner asked if we were happy. I always appreciate that. Our server was attentive and helpful overall good experience. read more

Food was great. Service was excellent. Love the fact that they ask how you want your bacon done. A hidden gem in Waterloo.

Everything went well my dad lives in Geneva now and we stumbled upon this place. It was handicap accessible and we were greeted with joy! The burgers were out of this world best in WNY If you ask me!! We felt like coming home to old family being from Italian family. This place is not to be passed up ! Everything was fresh quality and the service was outstanding! Everyone had great choices and I hear they are very kid friendly! What a pleasant experience we shall be back again and again read more

We are back living in upstate NY. There are so many reasons why I'm glad to be back here and yesterday we discovered another reason so LOVE the Finger Lake region!!! If you're in the area and want a superb breakfast, delicious lunch or hearty dinner this IS the PLACE to stop at!!! My husband and I came in and were greeted by a very friendly staff and found a very comfy booth. The whole place is really bright, clean and comfortable. Good music playing in the background always a plus. We both ordered the Mighty Seneca. Everything was cooked to perfection, but the pancakes were the best!!!! We came back the next day for lunch. We both had the fish fry and again cooked just right with a light breading that made for flaky and delicious fish. We have heard their burgers are really good so we will be back!!! Don't miss this wonderful place! read more

First time here for the Friday Fish Fry. Nice ambience, friendly waitress Bonnie took our order. Food was well prepared and delicious! Both the fries and onion rings were crisp and fresh. The carrot cake dessert was tasty. Highly recommend for dinner, or breakfast from 8-9, they recommend. read more

Best place in Geneva. You can tell that they actually care about the food they are serving you, like your mom or a good friend made it for you. It's family friendly, legit coffee, amazing service and great prices. I really can't say enough great things. The burgers are awesome. We come with our 2 little kids and Nic is so kind, making them laugh and feel important by conversing with them. Seriously this place is a total gem. I hope they expand somehow to make more seatings or get more locations. I recommend 100%. Doesn't get better than Tuccis! read more

This is a nice, small family restaurant. I thought the tots were phenomenal, highly recommend. The tuna melt and blooming burger left something to be desired. I asked for lettuce and tomato on my tuna melt and they charged me an extra $0.75, not upset just good knowledge to spread. read more

Wow, what a gem! The outside of the building is "under reno" but the inside is bright, modern and very comfortable. In the area for a few days with three other men on a reunion trip needing breakfast. Found Tucci's Family Diner on Yelp. Great selection of breakfast offerings and super good coffee. We had a selection of Texas French toast, large and sweet, corn beef hash that was homemade a tasty. There was an omelet in our group as well as an order of scrambled eggs all accompanied by delicious home fries and an order of hash browns. The side of sausage was wonderfully seasoned. Nic (Robertucci) the owner was very friendly and outgoing along with a skeleton staff. Definitely on the keeper list and will visit again, highly recommended. read more

Service is just like you would expect from a small town in Waterloo just awesome ... hamburgers are awesome they blend 3 types of local farm raised meats to come up with the best burgers you will ever ever eat!! read more

We called for 2 orders to go. Very friendly and prompt. The country benny and the breakfast plate were both excellent!!

Near Seneca lake. Stopped here after a stay at the 41 Lakefront Hotel. The cozy place has a great vibe. The coffee is good. The mug has a thick diner rim for a great mouth feel. I love a spot with a counter! The menu was plenty full. The staff is friendly, service was fast, efficient. I observed the same for other patrons. The food was prompt & exactly how we ordered it! A must visit for belly satisfaction in the morning. They do lunch but we only had breakfast! 10/10 would come again. read more

Great personality of the servers and owners! Oh, and the good is very tasty and they use locally sourced ingredients when ever possible. It's small but comfortable. read more

Service was slow and breakfast was just okay although food was locally sourced which was appreciated. Friday fish fry was very popular and fish was delicious. Fries were nothing special. Restaurant appeared to be very clean and the owner was very nice. read more

A short drive from downtown Geneva lives Tucci's aka the best brunch spot in the area. They offer everything: great food, huge portions, excellent service, and very good prices. It's a small and cozy diner but the menu is huge and offers something for everyone. The best items were: garbage plate, corned beef hash, pancakes, and French toast. These were so filling, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Don't be fooled by the unassuming outside as the inside is full of yummy eats. This will be the go-to brunch spot for sure when I'm in the area. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite during my stay in the finger lakes, and this is definitely a hidden gem. This is a old school diner, simple homemade food. The owners were working the dinner shift, it was nice having a conversation with him about the area and how they were handling covid. The food was diner food, simple, quick and good. If you have a chance to stop by , you should. read more

Nice portions on breakfast, nice to have a pace that can take our breakfast order to our liking! Mine well to dark and hubby leans toward light to slightly under cooked. They did both orders prefect! Small place, clean, newly opened. We have only had breakfast but I want to try there sloppy Joes. Not many picture yet I will share more as I revisit. Note it is onthe main road but it is small so you may pass right by it. Look for there open flag and there sign. Like a small home single story. read more

All I can say is WOW! My husband and I are from the Capital Region and were in Seneca Falls for the "it's a wonderful life" weekend. We didn't want to have to manage the Sunday brunch crowd in Seneca Falls, so I did a yelp search and discovered Tucci's. We decided to go there because of the name, we absolutely love Stanley Tucci and thought it was a funny little coincidence. I have to admit, when we pulled up, I didn't have high hopes. It's a little hole in the wall building. But when we walked in, it was so cute and clean and little like a blast from the past. There are about 20 tables total and it is obvious this is the place where the local people go. I had Chocolate Cream Pie (dessert before breakfast!), egg nog French toast, and scrambled eggs well done. Everything was cooked perfectly and the French toast was so good. However the absolute best part of our visit is that the owner, Nick, continually checked in on all the tables and was ready to pitch in whenever he was needed. We spoke to him afterwards and told him how amazing his diner is. He was genuinely so appreciative and kind, as was our waitress and even the cooks. We truly loved our breakfast and mostly the charm of this diner and the kindness of the staff. We travel to Seneca a few times a year and will definitely be making this a regular stop! read more

We have eaten there multiple times. Breakfast is always good without hesitation. We have also gone for their Friday night fish fry's which is also always good. I recommend getting their tater tots regardless of the time of day. Ha. Staff and owners are very friendly and always accommodating. read more

We went in for breakfast on Christmas Eve. It is a small family run breakfast place. We do not go out to breakfast often in Geneva so this is a welcome addition to what's available in town. The menu is great, good kid's menu. Typical diner style, people coming and going, counter service, some booths, some tables. We will gladly venture out to have another meal here as a family. read more

Went for the fish fry. Best fish taste since I've been in the area and trying out different spots. This place is a tiny old fashioned feeling diner but I loved the vibe! Fish is not beer battered, it's dredged with corn meal and/or breadcrumbs, and I do prefer the beer battered type, but that's a minor quibble. The tartar sauce was too sweet for my taste (I'm starting to understand that using sweet pickle relish is the norm here, where I've come from the pickle was dill-much more savory). The owner also came by and said that they were making the sauce on the fly cuz so many people were getting extra for their fish so maybe it was a little off on the usual-but for me, too sweet in any case. Other people may LOVE it, cuz the FISH is the star here for sure! I will be back to try their other food though, I was enchanted by the old school feel. read more

It was myself and my aunt and mom's first time going today it was amazing the service was amazing and the food was amazing !!!!! I am handicapped and it was very easy to get around definitely will be back anyone who hasn't gone please go please read more

So we saw this on yelp. It did not disappoint. We had a party of 7 and they did a great job with service and food. The pumpkin pancake was a fresh hit. Was not expecting it to be so good. It's a very small place but great service. I highly recommend it if you are in the area. read more

Assume little diner! Excellent food, nice menu with lots of options. Omelets are too big for one person. Fish fry on Fridays is very good. For me, it would be better if you arrive after 9:00 PM. read more

Food is EXCELLENT with service to match. My co-worker recommended this place and I have to say....I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!!
