“After reading quite a few negative reviews, I wanted to chime in about our experience here on Thanksgiving. Believe it or not,I had never eaten at Donoli’s even though I’ve lived here my entire life. After seeing they were open Thanksgiving, my friend and I decided to give them a try. We have eaten at McCoy’s Chop House for the last several years, but their price point had gotten very high and we were ready for a change and we both felt like Prime Rib. Walking into Donoli’s, I could tell this was a much more casual dining establishment. Older decor throughout, but certainly not awful. More pub like, than fine dining. They were very busy, perhaps busier than they anticipated. We were seated quickly and ordered a cocktail. My Bourbon Old Fashioned was delicious and very reasonably priced at $9. My friend ordered a Gin Gimlet with lavender gin & lime. She loved it. Again $9. The waitress told us they run out of Prime Rib earlier, but had some now so she suggested we place our order now. We did. My friend ordered their Thanksgiving special which was a 12 oz. Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, baby carrots & a salad. I opted for the 16 oz. Prime Rib with baked potato and a salad. Both came sided with au jus and we asked for creamy and regular horseradish on the side. Both of us ordered our beef rare. The salad came out first. Small bowl, but just the right amount. I had their homemade Ranch & it was delicious. My friend had their homemade Italian and said it was good as well. The entrees came and were spot on! Generous portions, Prime Rib cooked perfectly. In addition, I ordered a glass of Cabernet wine to enjoy with my meal. We had lots of leftovers and they offered nice to go containers ears, even for the sides. The waitress said they were crazy busy today and I could they were. Yes, there were a few shortcomings. No water was offered. We asked for bread with our salad and it never came. But we actually didn’t need those extra calories and didn’t really miss it. The bill was only $95 (with a cash discount) and I tipped very generously as that staff was working their tails off. The owner stopped by our table to see how we were doing. You rarely see that and it was appreciated. We will come back! I’ll dress far more casually than we did, but I could see this as a nice spot for a good meal at a good price. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving dinner a nice experience.“

“so first of all don’t let that one ⭐️ review from 2 months ago stop you from going here! First of all we are not in Italy this is an old school Italian American corner. deli it’s as North side of endicott as you can get “little Italy 🇮🇹 .”
the woman working I think was one of the owners was very nice it was my birthday and was looking for tiramisu they did not have any but had a lot of other stuff I ended up getting Reggiano and some fettuccine for my birthday dinner, she directed me to another place up the street where I could find it.
as for other customers there was a cute husband and wife having lunch and her birthday was the day before, we had a but lovely banter about our birthdays.
if your looking for old school deli charm this little corner deli has it!
you can tell that years of love and hard work have gone in to this place.
the sad truth is during shut down a lot of these awesome mom and pops did not survive,
wich speaks volumes igor the ones that did during those trying times.
I don’t know if it is just me but I think they deserve all the credit!
as for not real Italian bred you can’t get more Italian American then Romas bread it is a house hold staple in most of endicott.
if you like near old Italian American Deli’s you should check this one out.“

“We love the friendly staff from the girl who answers the phone, the owner and we always get speedy delivery. Our food is always hot when delivered! Great specials. Pizza and bread is so good. This is a family favorite for take out or delivery!“

“Our large family group was given a private room for our dinner. Our server was Morgan and she was magnificent! She was efficient and professional, helpful and friendly. Our meals were delicious! Besides all of this, we were given separate checks. CopperTop is wonderful!“

“literally the best pizza and wings we have had in awhile!!! pizza was perfect, wings were perfect. service was great. and price was Def right!!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful meal! Went in for the limited time portobello mushroom ravioli. They used to have this as a regular item but have since removed it. It was sooooo good! It will only be around for a short time so get it while you can! Bring back stuffed mushrooms! Was great service and atmosphere!“

“We got a large take-out order today and it did not disappoint. The pizza was top notch with their quality ingredients...it was absolutely delicious! We also got 2 flavors of the wings (BBQ & Med Hot 🔥) both types were very tasty as well. Thank you for our meal...we will definitely return soon!“

“Went to Rossis in JC last night and had the best turkey sub. It was so fresh and delicious...best sub I have had in a long time. The lady that made my sub deserves a high five!!!!“

“If you are a proud Italian- American and wish to preserve our culture, consider joining our lodge that is part of the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America.“

“Love the bread, pastries, and pretty much everything they sell here. Pizza's are amazing, and the absolute best white chicken spiedie pizza ever made, is sold here!“

“I got a half sheet 6/5/25 at 11am. One of the best chicken wing and half white broccoli pizzas from here to date. Whoever made it did the crust a little thicker and the entire pizza covered in toppings. I get pizza here a few times a month and the last 2x were great. My family goes to the vestal parkway nirchis and has been disappointed last couple times with there pizza. I tried there's and they definitely changed up the wings sauce 1 out of the last 2 wing pizzas. My family goes to Canada to visit family and always brings a couple sheets of wing pizza per there request. I always recommend Taft Aves. 👌“

“Conveniently located, great tasting food that you can trust. It's a taste you can count on that for generations families have grown up eating and enjoying around here. The staff are always friendly and smiling. There is no substitute for this local flavor! Eat in or order to go and enjoy it anywhere.“
