I’ll say this…the food is very good. Being that I share my life with a person raised by Italian immigrants, I feel he knows good authentic Italian cuisine…so I’m comfortable saying the food is good. I have been a few times, pictures display clams and linguine, and oxtail bolognese.

This was EASILY one of the top meals we’ve ever had! The swordfish was delicate and fell apart in a cacophony of flavor! The Veal Saltimboca wrapped in prosciutto served over pasta was deceptively packed with an explosion of flavor in every bite. For such a classic dish, it was clearly prepared by experts, bravo!

There are many mixed reviews here and I’m going to add to them. We are local and came to celebrate an anniversary. Based on the prices, we expected a high end experience. The first three things I noted were dirty glass on the entrance door, dead flowers on the hostess stand and open kitchen doors right where you come in. (No thanks, kills the ambiance) As per other comments: Our server was great, the AC was pumping and we had no trouble with parking or the timing of food coming out. The food was really good but very overpriced for some things. We got the arugula salad which was good, but not $15 good. The black spaghetti was excellent and the portion matched the price. The table next to us got lasagna, which also looked plentiful. Our tiramisu dessert was plenty to split. My big hang up was the chicken picatta. $29 for a tiny chicken breast on a plate with two artichokes and way too much sauce and nothing to eat it with. Thankful I paid an additional $8!!! for pasta to go with it. The dish was good (though basic) and had the pasta been included for $29, I’d have given more stars.

Two hour wait for dinner even with an advance reservation. Explanation? Open Table filled overcapacity and we suffered. Food was excellent but it will be a long time before we return. embarrassed since we brought guests to a very good restaurant that is difficult to get into. Shocked when wait staff asked me why I would not likely return! Many other tables suffered also. Ruined the experience. Not the wait staff fault but No manager came to offer something as apology. Sorry but I will spend money somewhere else.

After getting rave reviews from a couple of friends, this place seemed a must-go. The service was fantastic. The food was mediocre Italian. The navigability was laughably difficult.

Decent food, polite service, excellent ambience. I can’t say the food is amazingly creative, bit the quality was always solid. A bit pricey for what you get, but considering the location, this is one of the best restaurants in Ithaca.

While a little pricey, this small Italian restaurant tucked away in this apartment building features great ambiance, food, and service. Especially recommend for celebrations like graduation or birthdays! Be careful about parking though as this does seem to be limited.

Todd is the best server in the world – I greatly appreciate his kindness, knowledge, overall demeanor, and willingness to correct my failure to ask if there was meat in my pasta!

Met with Kim Updike to do a tasting as we gathered early catering info for our wedding. The food was delicious!!! And their team is great – Kim was so knowledgeable and the chef is great, especially with people’s allergies. Would highly recommend working with Kim & the Gola team for catering.
