“I visit there about 4-5 times a month to grab a bite to eat, I usually get the lasagna dinner or their hot subs. Hands down the best in the area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. when in the area a must stop it won't disappoint!“
“I've lived here my entire life passed this place a thousand times and finally went in...one of life's regrets is not trying to sooner. Everything was perfect from the second you walk in.I had the Veal Luciana, hands down the best I've ever had. This is one of my top dish life time. You have to give them a try. The house salad was also out of this word, I could have got two of those and been satisfied with my meal. Simply delicious.Great service and quick food delivery. Everything and everyone was on point.Prices were right on with what you get for a meal. Excellent flavor.“
“I recently hosted an event at Villa di Como Ristorante through my job, and everything was absolute perfection -- the food, the drinks, their team, the atmosphere. Our guests complimented it all throughout the night. The staff was warm, welcoming, flexible, and collaborative. It was a memorable and enjoyable evening. Highly recommended!“
“Super Sbarro! Staff is laid back, like to talk and straight-up oven bakes and knocks out flavorful pizza, dough, salads, calzones, desserts, drinks, garlic knots. A meal (calzone, drink, 1 side) runs you $13. That's a steal considering when you go out to eat these days your entree has shrunk %65 and on top of that you're forced to subsidize wait staff's 'bizarro' life choices + college tuition!NOT AT SBARRO! Some days they have free samples. My calzone was a total success. Food establishments in 2023 are shrinking sizes, leaving out ingredients, serving expired foods and over-shelved beer nobody wants. Without me.I'm coming back to Sbarro in Colonie again this weekend: great deals, flavor-punches and delightful service by tough-as-nails New York pizzaiolos!Rebel review: 5++“
“My daughter and I had an outstanding dinner last night. We had the soup of the day and artichoke appetizer. We also had the ricotta gnocchi and pasta with clam sauce. Everything was delicious, fresh and served hot. Our server was excellent. She was was attentive and well versed in the menu options. We enjoyed talking with her as she had a wonderful, warm personality. We will absolutely go back. I would highly recommend MezzaNotte.“
“Came here with a few colleagues some days ago looking for a nice wine spot. This place is very nice, cozy and intimate. The wine and beers are great. Staff very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came out at some point to check on us and he was great :) On top of the drinks we also had the cheese plate and some spaghetti, both of which were absolutely wonderful. We are not from Albany but if I ever find myself here again I'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great service :)“
“I always come here for the duck and the panna cotta... The duck here is the best in the area and consist since they opened. The potato and leek soup was also very good. My hubby got the salad, pasta special and the amaretto cherry Gelato and said it was delicious as well. I recommend all the foods here but note the bolognese here has cardimon which throws me off and the only place I don't prefer bolognese... But the duck is my fav anyways. They are also attentive to my food allergy here.“
“I placed 2 large orders for work events in the last 2 weeks. The food is absolutely delicious. Everyone was raving about Rose’s antipasto salad. The ordering and delivery was easy, timely and convenient. I highly recommend. Food and customer service top notch!“
“Excellent food, great service. Interesting place, definitely with a vintage vibe. We are from out of town, visited on recommendation. We loved it! If back in area, will visit again. Definitely make reservations in advance. There is street parking, and restaurant states you can park in municipal lot next to restaurant. Lot has a sign stating $10, but not sure if money collected at night though. We parked pretty easily on the street.“
“Decided to stop here for lunch during a long drive and it was fabulous. The ciabatta is to die for (it’s big beware :)). The boar’s head meat and cheese just elevates the quality and the extra toppings offered made the sandwich perfect. We made our own but they have a wide selection of speciality sandwiches that looked divine“
“I was sceptical of the combination of food options but they pull it off. The food was excellent and the service was great as well. Ordered a variety of food for a takeout dinner and everything from the quesadillas to the Nutella calzone was delicious!“
“Excellent calzone and Greek salad to go for dinner last night. My husband and I went to college in Brooklyn and used to eat calzone all the time. We finally found one that measures up!!! Got it with sausage and olives and it was sooooo good. Got two but we couldn't finish one. Salad was huge too, and just perfect. Lots of feta and olives and good dressing. Man at the counter could not be nicer. Even held the door for me.“
“I'll always have a soft spot for Navona. My dining experience is always great - food is spot on every time even when they're totally slammed. They stay busy but the service is timely and the servers check up frequently to ensure I have all I need. Regularly I dine alone but all friends I've brought with me have enjoyed it - especially the pizza. The inside is cute and the decorations are interesting. I enjoy the lighting as it's not too overpowering which I am sensitive to. The owner is friendly and can be seen chatting with people who are regulars which just goes to show it has the homey, family feel, very personalized. The servers know my order because I consistently get the same thing and dine there so often which is not necessary but sweet. You won't be disappointed - try the pizza and if that's not for you then the bruschetta or focaccia with ricotta, they're all delicious. For dessert I recommend the chocolate mousse - very sweet and rich but totally worth it!“
“My boyfie was kind enough to treat me to a celebratory dinner after I finished a big capstone project for my Master's program. While Rosanna's takes reservations, I don't think it's entirely necessary. On arrival, there were plenty of seats available, though we also DID come on a Thursday afternoon. Our service here was so delightful! I felt that our waitress was attentive enough, but also gave us space to enjoy a romantic date night out. Rosanna's menu does change seasonally, but when boyfie and I came the night we did, we shared the snapper with tagliatelle and seared scallops with cauliflower puree. While not necessarily my all-time favorite dishes, I was very impressed with the food we ordered. The snapper was grilled to perfection. The seared scallops paired beautifully with the cauliflower. And the tagliatelle, though slightly overcooked to my liking, came with a delicious tomato wine sauce. I really enjoyed Rosanna's, and I would love to come back here again for another special occasion to celebrate!“
“We had a meal last night and it was spectacular! The sauce was not too heavy. I have a lot of food restrictions. Sometimes when I go to a restaurant they make the meal so heavy that it is not digestible. The meal you made for me was fantastic! Thank you so much!!!“
“we ate here after a tough day for my family. we were able to sit right away since we had a reservation. the food came out at a good speed. the atmosphere is very calm and it was nice to sit down after standing all day. however, the waitresses didn't come over to us at all while we were eating. they didn't refill our water cups and since we were the only group in there, it was a little inconvenient. otherwise, the food was very very good.“
“I attended a fund raising event today.The staff was extraordinary!The food was in generous and delicious portions,and the pastry table prior to the event was luscious especially the cheese danish. Food was served experty.I had a wonderful time and thank all the staff for a job very well done!“
“Did not disappoint, been a long time that I paid good money for an actual good dinner an service and was happy with it will be back thank you Erin she was our waitress. She did a phenomenal job. Make sure you tip well guys got it !!!!! They deserve it don’t be cheep !“
“Awesome food! Just had Broccoli Rabe and mixed it with sausage and marinara. Loved it. Caprese salad was wonderful, really delicious balsamic vinaigrette. Tried their tomato basil soup and it is fantastic. It’s full of fresh basil. They also kindly include some of their baguettes which are great. They are very talented and their dishes/combinations are making my tastebuds happy!“
“Glad to have had the opportunity to visit this well known local spot while visiting the area. Unlike any pizza joint experience i’ve ever had. First we ordered at a counter before being escorted through the back of a narrow alley into a small garden seating area. nothing formal, all low key.The food came out quick and the service was friendly.the pizza itself was some of the best i’ve ever had. very doughy with unique flavor that almost melts in your mouth. there was a perfect amount of seasoning over fresh mozzarella cheese. I like the options of various doughs to try as well. We went with the standard dough to get the original flavor. Also tried the garlic bread and house made meatballs. The sauce for both was equally delicious. I hope to have the opportunity to re-visit this location to try some of the speciality pizza and pasta options. Very highly recommended ? ? ?“
“I only ever get D'Carlito's when I'm working night shifts, but it is SUCH. A. GODSEND. The warm vodka pasta at 1AM in the morning is creamy, filling, and honestly coma-inducing but it's so worth it. I can also imagine this being some top-tier drunk food! For some reason I keep forgetting the name of the place, so here I am writing a Yelp review to immortalize it for the next time I need a nighttime pick-me-up. Which honestly might be tomorrow night, now that I've written this review I'm getting some cravings again!“
“Recently had them provide food for a surprise party at a local bar. They were nice and went over how much food would be good for the party size which was perfect! I also expressed that delivery time was super important in order to not ruin the surprise and they made sure it was right on time!“
“we ate here after a tough day for my family. we were able to sit right away since we had a reservation. the food came out at a good speed. the atmosphere is very calm and it was nice to sit down after standing all day. however, the waitresses didn't come over to us at all while we were eating. they didn't refill our water cups and since we were the only group in there, it was a little inconvenient. otherwise, the food was very very good.“
“Our new place to go. We did the family meal takeout. It was delicious, everything was great. We even added meatballs and sausage, plus canoli's for dessert. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of food. Top notch all the way!!!“
“Every time I come in, I am always greeted with the biggest smile from Megan and Kayla. I never know what to order, and they are always very informative and helpful on the items they offer. I always order what they tell/recommend to me and it is beyond delicious. I look forward to seeing them when I come back , and trying something new. Their energy is always so welcoming , and I have never had an issue with them. These ladies are the best!“
“Quiet little dinner with a lovely atmosphere, polite staff, and delicous food. My pancakes were fluffy and delicous, bacon was fresh and chewy with some crunch. My partners eggs and home fries were fresh and tasty, we both enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. A real rare dinner, not many hole in the wall dinners left around the area that have this level of service, and quality. Highly recommend.“
“We made a reservation for The Fountain Restaurant on Fri 1/13/23 for 5:30pm.This place is always busy. And has been a neighborhood go to for many years. The Romano family has won their customers' loyalty with great service & consistently good pizza. We were early and there were two seats open at the bar. So the bartender Tony moved our reservation to there. The bar works nicely for us here. Thanks Tony. We ordered a wine ($7) & a local craft beer,Jack's Abbey on draft ($9) while we looked over the menu. The Fountain makes great pizza, but tonight just wasn't a pizza night for us. My bride had a small Caesar salad w/ chicken ($10) right size for her. The large is not an exaggeration. I had the caprese sandwich-Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, Basil, EVOO & Balsamic Glaze on Ciabatta bread ($11) Note: you can add chicken breast or eggplant for $4. more. Very good sandwich. In my opinion, this sandwich would be even better w/ some pesto spread on the ciabatta. Still a very good dining experience. Hours: Tues-Thurs 11:30AM-10:30PM (Kitchen Closes) Fri-Sat 11:30AM-11PM (Kitchen Closes) Sunday 12:00PM-10PM (Kitchen Closes) Closed Monday Street parking is at a premium but there is public parking behind the restaurant. Thanks again to Tony & all for another great visit. Nick Parisi & Liz Farrell, Albany, NY“
“I have only been a few times while visiting a friend, never disappointed. Delicious bruschetta, amazing bread, pizza, chicken parm, caesar salad..it was all excellent. Will definitely stop by again for dinner on my next visit. You should too!“
“It’s all about that fried chicken! Fried, hot, zinger, whatever your jam. Also, really exceptional Indian fare. The vegetable samosa was authentically great. The lamb over rice plate equally superb. *keep an eye on your surroundings, use caution in area.“
“We’ve been going to Ralph’s for years! my dad goes atleast once a week. They have great food- the pizza and wings is best in town! its a smaller place so make sure to make reservations if you’re going at peak hours. OH and they don’t have high chairs so make sure you bring your own or put baby in “
“Their food is excellent! There's a small casual dining room in the back where you can eat in or do take out. I highly recommend them, especially their Italian food! The owners are from Italy. They are there now and I think they reopen within the next two weeks“
“Create your own bowls are my favorite here. I always try something new and the toppings and add-ins are great! Lots of choices for all different diets, wants, needs, etc. they also have select menu items you can order instead of create your own and to be honest those are amazing too! I visit whenever I’m in a rush but need a delicious, hot (or cold) meal on the go with lots of choices! From pasta, to greens and beans, to lettuce… they have it all! Not to mention, they’ve never gotten a single order wrong even with how busy it can be! Love it here !“
“I love this place my friends & family have been having brunch here for years! The food is always good the place is always clean,prestine and smells nice outside the aromas of the food! Drinks A+ service top notch. I never have had a complaint about this establishment and I recommend to many!!!“
“The pizza is very good, the cheese is melt in your mouth, the service is good, the atmosphere is so so depending on days and such. Highly recommend for dine in, take out, or delivery, their side menu is very good as well, good desert options and “
“Picked this spot for my girlfriend’s birthday dinner and was our first time there and it was amazing, everything was delicious and the service was excellent. I took one hell of a gamble going somewhere for her birthday where neither of us have been and they helped me come through. They were really busy but attended everyone well. We decided to set reservations again for dinner this weekend.“
