Just recently went to this local restaurant for the very first time. I have lived in the area most of my life and never had the chance to visit. I probably will not go back. The service was good the atmosphere was nice. I was not impressed with the food for the price. I could have done the same in my own kitchen. For a $25 cordon blue I expected at least a homemade chicken cutlet with the traditional filling. I got a frozen processed thing. It looked like a 💩 on a plate. It was over cooked and the only reason I ate it was I was just hungry. My daughter got a wrap and her chicken was also VERY over cooked almost burnt.
I am not the type of person to complain. In fact I usually just suck it up. This time I really could not. I felt I needed to speak up.

Got the chicken cutlet parmigiana dinner to go, with the soup of the day and the pasta side. All of it was fantastic - the sauce is the right side of tart for what I typically enjoy for tomato sauces. The tomato bisque was great as well.

I had a half order of chef spaghetti. I am not a small person, however, a half order is plenty to eat. It comes with a garden salad. The chef spaghetti has restaurant made pasta fresh that day. The sauce is well balanced, they definitely do not add corn syrup in it however, I do not know if they add a pinch of sugar or just use vine ripened sweet tomatoes. There is a lot of meat in the sauce as well as a meatball one sausage, several mushroom shoulder, sliced up, however, I believe the mushrooms were canned not fresh. I could be wrong with that. The three people I were with one had a special order hamburger and a baked potato, drowning, and butter because they asked for it to be drowning in butter. The hamburger was cooked exactly the way they wanted. The second person had ribeye. I may be a little old-fashioned, but the ribeye look to be between six and 8 ounces. It was cooked the way a rib I should, on the rare side. They ate all of it. The third person had some type of fish. As I remember them saying the fish was delicious, not overcooked. We were seated at a table. Which means all of the sound from the other 15 or so tables interfered with our conversation. I have eaten there at least 20 times and we typically get a booth which keeps most of the noise out. We always eat on a Saturday and make reservations. Those people that don’t make reservations can usually wait 45 minutes or more to get seated. There is a zero step entrance so it is handicap accessible. There are two doors to get in through so someone will have to help you open the doors. It is mostly an Italian menu, so there are not very many vegetarian dishes available. I am not certain that the sauce is meat sauce so ask

For the most part, we had a fantastic meal. Our Prime Rib was a little undercooked so we had to send it back and then it was perfect. Everything we ate was delicious. Whenever we come to Binghamton we always go here. The menu is huge and there is something for everyone.

Great Italian meal with a wide range of choices. Excellent pork, chicken, fish and beef selection. We really enjoyed our meal. We also enjoyed sitting in the lounge section of the restaurant.
