I got the chicken riggies and it was watery sauce and bland with mushy noodles. No heavy cream it but i think they charge you an extra $1.50 to plash some in there. not alot of chicken to speek of eather. I got them mild but the spice was like it was hot sauce.The staff was friendly and it was really nice inside. $20 meal and it came with some garlic bread.

We had a fantastic dinner at the Speghetti Kettle last night. The service was exceptional, Megan and Kimmie were entertaining. I had chicken franchise and my husband had the seafood pasta, both were delicious!! Looking forward to our next visit.

Shrimp cocktail was decent, but it didn't come with crackers or nearly enough sauce. Also the sauce had a tobasco flavor to it. My husband ordered a well done burger. It was clearly a pre made patty burnt to a charcoal. My spaghetti was good, but it was a large bowl of pasta with a tablespoon of sauce on it. Offering a salad or soup with the meal would have made it a more enjoyable experience. Both meals were very overpriced. The broccoli francaise was really good and the only dish with enough sauce, which I used for my shrimp and pasta. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't worth the price.

I had a Saturday evening dinner here with my cousin, recently. I've never been before, and because I am Italian, didn't really expect too much. (Italians are notoriously firm in their opinions about how any dish should be prepared and served)! I was pleasantly surprised by the menu choices and found it difficult to make my dinner selection, so like many diners, I cheated and went with what my cousin ordered (she'd been here before). I'd not had anyone else's chicken riggies in years, so thought it would be fun to try this restaurant's version. You have several choices in the way they are served. I went with classic chicken riggies and rose sauce. First, the portions are truly enormous. Not big, not generous, ENORMOUS! I ate until I was full and still had enough left over for more than one additional meal! The riggies were delicious. The rigatoni were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was savory and without a hint of acid. The service was very attentive without being intrusive. The young woman server really knew her job and did it very well. The place is perfect for two cousins to catch up on life (haven't seen each other in years). I did not have a drink, but my cousin did and it was quite nice! So, if you want authentic (albeit more southern Italian style) Italian dishes, this is your place. Reasonably priced with good parking and comfortable seating. When next in NY, will definitely visit here again and try more of the menu selections!

Great food and service, priced right! Only change I would make would be, lose paper napkins. Drinks could be a little stronger but then again, I have issues!! Give them a try, definitely a spot to try.

We have been wanting to go here for a while. Moved to Oneida 3 years ago. Read the reviews and was hoping. It started off slow. Our waitress then picked up the pace and was very attentive and super friendly. I was a bit leary about the food from the mixed reviews. Let me tell you it was fantastic! I had probably the best eggplant parm I have ever had. The marinara sauce was great. The sausage I had was excellent. Wife had chicken francaise, which she said was very good. Our pasta was cooked perfectly. Not too al-dante or overcooked, perfect. Everything was just great. The atmosphere was a bit outdated, but it had character. I would highly recommend and we will go again.
