21 Best Italian Restaurants near Apalachin

“Stopped here for dinner while on vacation in the area, First thing is our waitress was super nice and friendly great personality perfect waitress. I ordered the NY Strip steak and it was cooked perfectly temperature wise, a little too much charred flavor for my liking but overall a well cooked steak. Got broccoli as a side it just came steamed not sautéed or anything. The other thing is they are cash only didn’t realize that till the end of dinner so good thing they have an ATM in the restaurant. I would try this place again if I was in the area for sure. If you are near by give it a try it’s worth the stop. NY Style cheesecake with strawberries was good.“

“AMAZING PRIME RIB AND AU JUS. So tender and cooked perfectly. The pan seared scallops were overcooked by a mile, definitely a waste of $20. Never have not eaten scallops at a restaurant before, just very chewy and no flavor even when dipped in lemon butter. Our server Andrew was very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was very laid back nothing fancy or upscale. Reasonable prices for big portions. Will be returning for more prime rib!“

“I got the frozen chicken parm dinner for a very generous price, brought it home and warmed it up. And it was absolutely amazing. Some of the best chicken parm I’ve ever had. I have also had there Italian sub and mac and cheese and they were delicious as well. Also the owner is very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 small “

“I go to Mario's or have them deliver about once a month over the past 16 years so I'll base this review on my approximately 192 experiences with Mario's. Always a top notch 100% authentic New York thin crust pizza baked to perfection! Every single time! Now here's where they shine: if you put veggies on your pizza like onions, peppers, olives etc, it's hard not to get a soggy pizza. Not at Mario's, the crust is always crispy, never soggy and in the 200 times I've ordered their pizza, it's perfectly cooked. I probably should have written a review years ago, guess I took this place for granted but man they are a class act. I've eaten inside a few times and the service has always been friendly and prompt. The ambiance is quintessential local pizza joint--wonderful. My employer is about 3 miles away and we always go to Mario's for special lunch events or order for on-site visitors. It's just a well rounded perfect pizza joint and the price is super affordable. Love this place!“

“It's a dreary cool, damp day in mid April. Clouds are doing the usual thing in Broome County. Since I needed a spring sheering I decided to stop at Franks on The Avenue for a cut. Lucky I went as they are beginning a major reconstruction on The Avenue. Well I got my hairs cut and since it was close to lunch I decided to check out The Original Italian Pizza just a few doors down from Franks. I go in the back door and was immediately greeted. Since I was going to take my order home I asked, "How fast can you finish up a cheese and pepperoni?" The answer was "7 minutes." OK ! Outstanding! Anyway the pizza is finished, I pay, load it into the car and head home. A few minutes later I open the box and theres this beautiful pizza begging to be eaten....and I did. This pizza took me back to a great NY pizza. Thin crust, just crispy enough. The sauce, uniform, tasty, not sweet, not watery. The cheese to die for with great stretch. Now onto the fold...a work of art. This is by far one of the great pizzas in the area. Great flavor and reasonably priced. They're open Mondays thru Friday 10 to 10. They have a nice size dining area and have a nice menu including stromboli, calzone, salads, spaghetti and subs. Now as I waited I noticed a kind of silent conversation taking place as orders were being taken and modified then delivered to waiting customers with everything to perfection. Not only does that speak of repeat customers but a caring staff that knows their customers and thats a great thing. I don't know why I didn't stop by sooner but it's definitely worth it.“

“1st visit, but not the last! To start, their bread w/ herb olive oil dip was so delicious. I chose Italian dressing for my salad, which had a bold & tangy flavor that delighted my palate. My Chicken Marsala was perfectly cooked w/ a tasty sauce and loaded with mushrooms. So yummy! And the Utica Greens...I could eat every day of my life!? Our waitress was the epitome of hospitality and, despite the place being jammed, very efficient. (I'd name her, but my memory?) This place is a gem on every level and we're so looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Oaks Inn, we'll see you again soon!?“

“So, I was invited to a wedding shower at the Sons of Italy in Binghamton, NY. I was absolutely under the assumption that we would be heading to an Italian restaurant but! The Sons of Italy is similar to a VFW or American Legion. It's a very non-descript banquet hall with a kitchen in the back and a bar. It also looked like it had a downstairs but I didn't go down there. The staff couldn't have been friendlier an the food was absolutely top notch and served family style. There were three courses: pasta with pork, salad with oil and vinegar dressing and green beans cooked with garlic, potatoes with rosemary, and chicken Marsala. Dessert was provided by the hosting party. The hall comfortably sat about 80 people and there was a lot more room to be had!“

“This place isn't just a pizza joint , it's an absolute delicious italian restaurant !!! I had the veal Marsala with a "side" of pasta and my mom had ravioli .. comes with homemade garlic knots, cooked warm and fresh and a nice dinner salad.. the waitress was amazingly friendly and helpful.. I've eaten here about 15 times which isn't nearly enough !! Love love this olc“

“Had been asking around for a while what some good pizza spots are down here near Binghamton. Got referred to Nicks more than once! Got a pizza later at night was actually the last one of the night. Super nice inside area. The pizza was great! The dough was nicely done and flavored well. There weren't any dry spots, sauces both done nicely. An 8/10 pie wish the chicken was a little bigger, and the garlic had a little more cheese. One of the best I've had down here in the Binghamton area. We will BE BACK! Also excited to try their other Italian food sometime.“

“From the very first step into Concordia,is very inviting, beautiful entry way, causing me to want to see more! Just a few steps down I entered into a very warm and inviting atmosphere. The beautiful oil paintings on the walls were truly breathtaking. The dining experience was really exceptional , the food was cooked to my perfection and to top it off was the dessert! I am looking forward to going again, and again! Thank you for opening such a beautiful and enjoyable place to relax and unwind! ❤️“

“Weds-Sun full order spaghetti & meatball is on special for $7. It's a generous helping for the price. Mash the meatballs to make an excellent meat sause.sauce. The blue cheese salad dressing is very good. The onions rings are fair. Service is unexcelled especially if busy.“

“I was road tripping with my friends yesterday from Ottawa to NYC. Maine, NY, was one of our stops and got introduced to Frank’s Restaurant. The food was amazing, I had a grilled salmon over risotto and the atmosphere was great. We met this incredible host, he offered us to sit at the bar and have some drinks until our table got ready, and surprisingly it was quick. Would definitely stop by on my way back to Ottawa.“

“Good Italian food.2-6-2024: We enjoyed our meal tonight.I had the Chicken Spiedie Salad, which was quite good. Another person had the Chicken Marsala which was unfortunately heavily breaded. The third person had a dinner salad and slice of pizza, which she enjoyed.“

“If you know you know. Best pizza around. I’ve moved out of state over 15 years ago but Jim Romas pizza will forever be my favorite. The way that cheese melts into a gooey goodness is something that needs to be studied and recorded for future generations. Subs are the real deal, cookies and fresh bread is a cut above.“

“Food was delicious, service was excellent. We got a pizza and they are generous with the size at 16 inches. The style is thin and crispy bar style pizza. It's a rowdy atmosphere with a large bar and booths on one side with a few tables in the middle. It was a nice old school kind of tavern vibe. The calamari we ordered for appetizers were great and the wine was reasonably priced.“

“Dell'Arco was very nice. The atmosphere was very cozy. The food was excellent. I had veal parm and the portions were very big. The bread was fantastic it was soft and tasted great. I also had calamari for an appetizer, and I think it was the best I've had in the area so far! The drinks were good. I had an old-fashioned and my girlfriend had wine. The waitress was great and very accommodating! If you are looking for good Italian food, this would be a great choice. It does have a smaller dining area, so I would suggest getting there early as it does seem to fill up quickly!“

“I asked the waitress if the chicken parm was fresh fried...she said yes. It wasn't. Pre-cooked and pounded out so thin it had no flavor! Also..the sauce was bland. Not like Tony's sauce at all. It was busy on a Thursday night. People are drawn in to a beautiful restaurant only to be served sub-par food. Oh! But the salad was excellent! But the bread was cold. I like my bread warmed up. It doesn't take much to do that..but they get away with it. I've had plenty of experience eating in Italian restaurants in this area. This one is a fake. Sorry for the negative review...but I call it like I see it!“

“Most of the time the quality is great. And most of the time the pizza is the best ever. Taft is definitely the best location. Like many other Broome County natives. I grew up on Nirchis sheet pizzas and although I travel far and wide, there is no pizza that compares. Nirchis could really become a national franchise. I only recently heard that the dough recipe comes from Battaglini? I lived next to that bakery for a time and the baking bread smell.....both Nirchis and Battaglini are 2 of the best to ever do what they do.“

“It’s always special at McCoy’s! Personable, attentive staff and delectable food!Vegetarian options: It’s a bit tricky to navigate vegetarian options, but there are some yummy appetizers and salads.Parking: Although only a few spots for parking on the street in front of, more parking is around back of the building.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a little snug, but manageable.“

“Great service with nice staff that is willing to make your food correctly and give it to you in a timely manner. The Chicken Sofia is the best of the dishes with the others being the pizzas, wings (Chef Shawn’s Carolina Gold mostly), Grandma G’s Chocolate Cake, and The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. If you haven’t stopped in to eat yet in your lifetime please do.Kid-friendliness: Servers work very well with kids“

“It was one of the best experiences I've had in a restaurant locally. The staff was great, the waitress was a pleasure to have and very attentive to us. Fast service and excellent food. The atmosphere was great. We could hear each other talk without having to raise our voices to be heard. There were six of us, and nobody left hungry! Prices are very reasonable. It was a pleasurable and fun family dining experience. Almost forgot! You have to try the chocolate brownie lasagna desert, It's awsome !Parking: Plenty of parking for the time of day 11:00 am. Handicap ♿️ parking near front entrance. Mostly level parking lot with slight incline in the rear parking area affording easy walking for all ages..“
