Canali's Italian & American Restaurant

We have been here several times. The linguine with clams, chicken parm, eggplant parm are wonderful. The braciole, I wouldn't get again

We've been coming to Canalis for probably 30 years. As long as I can remember the Chicken Alfredo was the best we've ever had anywhere we have been from the Capital District down to Atlanta where we lived for 8 years. The sauce was thick, creamy and full of flavor. Since moving back to Niskayuna a couple years ago we went back again on Friday night for our anniversary dinner.

What a huge disappointment. First of all the Chicken Alfredo meal went from $24.99 to $35.99. I'm fine paying premium prices for premium food (which the Alfredo has always been). However this meal the sauce was essentially non existent. Thin, light and flavorless. I've had this specific meal every time since I was in High School at Schalmont almost 30 years ago and it was always amazing.

To top it off (or not), our $15 Martinis were always topped off to the brim. This time they were 3/4 filled, which was another big disappointment. I don't know if minor cutbacks are taking place or it was a really really bad night, but it was enough for us to say not again at those prices. Very disappointed that Canalis isn't what it use to be for my wife and I.

Unfortunately when we get a bad meal, we don't feel comfortable complaining and sending our food back due to what may or may not happen behind closed doors.

Amazing! Best chicken marsala i had in a while.

I had my daughter’s baptism celebration at Canalis and I truly want to thank them for going above and beyond for our daughter’s special day. We rented out the banquet room and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Canalis. I highly recommend for any future event.

Across the board great classic Italian. Zero chance you finish your entree because they are huge. But they are delicious. From the bread they start you with, to fresh salad and at a beyond reasonable price. Must go if you haven't been

Local classic. Can’t count how many school banquets and family parties we’ve had here over the years. Also catering. Everyone loves the chicken Marsala, green beans and the roasted chicken.

I usually love this place. Tonight, not so much. The calamari had too much pepper in the batter, and the fettuccine alfredo wasn't what we were accustomed to from here.

If I could give it a 6, I would. This place is great. You get an absolute ton of food.

Wow, Canali's was a truly phenomenal experience. My buddy Logan and I felt so lucky to get Juliana as our waitress. She was an absolute class act and went above & beyond to make our experience excellent. Everything we tried was incredible and we were both genuinely disappointed we didn't have more time or stomach capacity. I can't recommend this place enough, and will definitely visit again.
