“This place blows carols, and labella pizza out of the water! Carols makes me sick everytime. Labella is way overpriced and not the best pizza. If you want real NY style great tasting thin crust pizza that doesn't make you feel poorly after eating it. This is it! Sauce is very well done, perfect amount of cheese, and perfect undercarriage on every pie I've ordered. Will never order from any other local place ever again. This pizza is approx 8/10. And the wings are 9/10. You won't find better pizza in this area. Great job to the family running this place! Thanks for always delivering great pizza, wings and dinners. “

“My wife recently had to go gluten free, and we have been trying to find a good place to easily get breakfast for a date. We happened to find Birch Baked with a Google search and checked it out. We were not disappointed! We each got a breakfast sandwich and a sweet treat (she got a cookie and I got a cider donut). The food was awesome!! If I didn't know everything was gluten free, I would have had no idea. We are definitely coming back to try out other things like their pizza, hot and cold sandwiches, and the owner told us they are starting a dinner night Thursdays and Fridays with lots of great options. Top notch place filling a big need in the area.“

“We ordered a vegetarian 12" pizza. Came well packed and with a fair helping of all the necessary ingredients that make for a good pizza, plus the fact I had ordered an extra helping of black olives which went down very well. Wish they had included some ketchup too.“

“I recently hosted an event at Villa di Como Ristorante through my job, and everything was absolute perfection -- the food, the drinks, their team, the atmosphere. Our guests complimented it all throughout the night. The staff was warm, welcoming, flexible, and collaborative. It was a memorable and enjoyable evening. Highly recommended!“

“My family, friends, and I are constantly pleased with Nic's! The restaurant itself is immaculate. No exaggeration, probably the cleanest restaurant I have ever eaten in. I have dined at Nic's probably around 20 times, and I have never had a bad meal. All food is fresh and prepared daily right in the kitchen. We are fortunate to have a place like Nic's here in East Greenbush. The owners are hands-on, and it shows in every aspect of the business. Thanks again for a great meal.“

“Very nice small place to enjoy a fabulous pizza. The staff working that day very polite. Pizza was very good. Nothing like woodfire baked pizza. To bad the dining area is little small. Has room for about four different parties of 2 to 4 people to sit at.“

“Love this quirky yet cozy and super-cool spot. A great thing about Troy is the old buildings there have cool nook-like spaces such as this. The wood fired wings were really good - not straight down the middle typical Buffalo wings, but very good (with top notch bleu cheese.). “Medium” had just the right amount of heat for us. Pizza was very good too. Look forward to going back. Recommend.“

“This place is a gem. I know it’s not in the best part of downtown Albany. But the staff are amazing. Three waitresses are all great. The have ZERO attitude and just want to make sure you enjoy your drink and or food. There is no better place in the heart of downtown Albany serving drinks, food and smiles . This is a great atmosphere with even better people .“

“Their chicken parm is so good!! I LOVE their pizza... so does my church..though there are pizzerias nearby. I brought a 24-cut supreme pizza to last year's superbowl party and everyone still raves about it. 8 people said I can't come unless I bring that pizza..... it's that good!“

“The place is small and the food is great, which makes it often really busy. If you plan to come in peak-hours, plan for a wait.However, for me, the wait was well worth it!The chicken wings I ordered were perfect. Well-sourced, not too fatty, not dry, and cooked to perfection. The ranch was delicious (not the watery-grocery-store-kind). Plenty of carrots and celery to bite on in between the wings! The side of fries that I ordered was served is a cute cast iron mini-pot!Parking: If you're going there for the first time, take a note of the extra parking lot they offer, as there's very limited parking available right by the restaurant.“

“Me and my boyfriend found this place over the summer and have been frequents of circle pizza ever since. The food prices are very fair and all the food is amazing every time. The staff is supper friendly and we never have an issue with the order. We have 4 kids and this place is very afordable. Our fave dish from them is the chicken over rice it’s always so fresh and so delicious. Today my son got an Oreo pie piece and that also was amazing. You can’t go wrong here. Between the food the prices and the staff it really is top notch.“

“Had a friend recommend this place a while back and I've been a repeat customer ever since. Delivery time is always reasonable, and the food is always amazing. I usually go for just pizza and wings, but anytime I've branched out and tried something new I've never been disappointed. 5/5 definitely recommend!!“
“We spent three glorious days at June Farms. We occupied a Wellness Hut, which was absolutely exquisite in design, comfort, and beautiful privacy amongst the rolling hills and trees. It was much larger than we ever expected with at least 16ft. ceilings. We cooked each meal ourselves, took luxurious saunas, and enjoyed the perfect tub and open shower with amazing views of the snow kissed trees. I can go on further, but I will stop here to leave room for the amazing staff who were all absolutely lovely to us and obviously very very good at what they do. Sarah was outstanding, and knowledgeable and brought us so close to the cows and horses, and I will not soon forget her kindness. Also thanks to Joe who guided us on our sheep walk with a smile, and welcoming demeanor on our first day. Thank you to Michele, our Concierge, and Joshua. Great People. Magnificently clean, happy animals. It feels like a dream, we are blessed to have experienced together. We will be back.“

“This is the best pizza in Troy. Hands down. Yeah you will hear other people say this place is better, that place is better...this is the best. I have been coming here for over 25 years and have never had a slice of pizza that wasn't good. I remember when it was a pizza and a soft drink for $1.50. Still not expensive and relatively decent prices in 2024.“

“From the moment I called Al to discuss catering for an event I was planning I was impressed. He is extremely personable, answered all of my questions and had the quote over to me via text immediately after we spoke the first time and again when I later added mini cannolis to my order. He personally delivered the food to the venue and set up the chafing dishes. It was completely stress free. I returned them the next morning and he came out and got them from my car. Everyone raved about the food. I ordered chicken piccata, stuffed eggplant, rigatoni with sausage, roasted potatoes and green beans, along with delicious warm rolls with butter and of course the to die for cannolis. Multiple people asked where I got the delicious food. I was delighted to tell them to call Al Patricelli. It’s great food for a reasonable price. The big plus is the service! You can instantly tell that he cares about making your event special. It was a huge weight off my shoulders. Thanks so much to Al and his staff! Keep up the great work!“

“I have gone here twice now for lunch. First time I got chicken bacon ranch pizza with garlic knots and the second time was the same but I got a beef patty instead of garlic knots. Everything has tasted amazing and the staff is friendly. My favorite place to go to lunch on my breaks.“
“My dad used to work in downtown Albany and would bring home the most amazing rolls from Nino's Bakery when I was young. My husband and I recently went to find those same rolls that would stand up to meatball subs, Philly cheesesteaks, and such.. Found them and I will be going back every time I need a sturdy, chewy, soft, delicious roll! Oh and I have to go back because she mentioned they fill their cannolis fresh when you order!“

“The strategy to winning a case in court is to follow this simple procedure: 1-Tell the jury what you are going to do. 2. Do it. 3. Summarize and tell them how you did it. This same formula works to perfection at what has been called "Troy's best kept secret." Proudly displayed on the shirts that several of the staff and chef's wear two vital commitments are proclaimed. "Comfort Food" and "Famiglia.".So there is no pretense here. This is no place for nouvelle cuisine with its miniscule portions and esoteric dishes. Rather it is an embracing, warm establishment where the care and love that are emblematic of the southern Italian culture are continually in evidence. You would expect than the storied favorites to be served up in impressive portions where flavors are married into a tasteful delight. At Testo's you have come to the right place. Elsewhere on Yelp another reviewer will state that Testo's and Verdile's are equals, with strong proponents for each. I couldn't disagree more. In fact that is like saying "I can't quite choose between a 1974 Chevy Vega and a 1973 Porsche 911 for sale at the same price. HAH! Testo's blows their supposed rival right out of the water in terms of atmosphere, service, portion size, menu choices, TASTE of the food, dedication to quality, and diner satisfaction. One time there some months ago and I will never return to the Chevy Vega. One time at the Porsche 911 and I had to return the very next day for the Friday special, having been delighted with the Thursday special of lasagna. And oh, the sauce! No wonder they bottle and sell it right there at this friendly neighborhood restaurant. It is like my Father's and maternal Grandmother's, nurtured on either sides of Mt. Etna in Sicily. A great sauce is known by its texture and a taste that is a medley of flavors that let the tomatoes sing. I have had so many mediocre to terrible red sauces served at supposed Italian restaurants that I could scream, or cry, or give up on trying to recapture what MY "famiglia" did so well and so consistently. Thank God I at last discovered this treasure still imbedded in memories of the Sunday gatherings of Italian-Americans with one foot still in the old country. These are glorious, boisterous affairs of up to twenty or more relatives. Dino Martino (Dean Martin to non-Italians) singing the songs of Naples (I shed a silent tear at "Return to me oh my darling"), or that early sixties' favorite "Volare." Now to the food, the star of all great restaurants. The lasagna was as well prepared as the sauce, creamy and stuffed with the joy of high quality ricotta (I swear some Jersey Diners use cottage cheese--an "infamnia")! Having seen a photograph of a layered apple dessert on their website, I took courage in hand (because the lasagna portion was indeed generous). A brilliant move on my part. It came warm and beautiful with real whipped cream and several healthy scoops of vanilla ice cream to the side. Even the coffee is top notch, always fresh and deeply flavored. I can't leave out the wonderful staff that enhances the dining experience. From the sweetest and kindness young woman you are like to meet these days, Daisha, to Testo's own Talia Shire/Connie (from 'Godfather II era, please) Lisa who guides her young servers with impeccable knowledge and a steady hand of encouragement. Unlike Verdile's bored ancients doing a "Stepin Fetchit" routine (look it up), this crew throws themselves into their responsibilities with enthusiasm and efficiency., guaranteeing that their service will be the equal to the very fine cuisine. Prices are fair and in keeping with the investment in nothing but the best ingredients. "Skimping" is simply not in the vocabulary of the two sons who make their founding father proud. My friends, this is an immersive experience in the best of classic Italian-American food and culture. You will be like family, comforted by food and feeli“

“We went to dinner for our son's birthday. Everything was wonderful, food, service and the atmosphere. We had two young grandchildren with us. Our waiter really helped make the children's time fun. We will definitely return.Parking: The parking was behind the restaurant. It was shared with other businesses. It was dark so it was somewhat of a challenge for my wife. It was also our first time going. Next time we would know the area better.“

“Very good food depending on when you order and who is working. I’ve gotten food that’s incredible (which tells me how good they can do when they try) and then food that’s just ok but not what it should be. Their subs are always great, very good for the price.“
“I ordered garlic, Parmesan wings from Dutch's Place for lunch today. The wings were even more tender than any other place I have tasted them. And the garlic and Parmesan permeated the wings as well. The only thing missing was the blue cheese sauce. I called Dutch's and they said that I didn't have it listed on my order. I then checked my phone, saw that it was indeed on my order and called GrubHub to confirm it, indeed it was on the order they had. It would've been an extra boost to the wings, which needed no additional support, but would've kicked things up a lot . GrubHub gave me $3.24 off of the bill because of this which was pretty nice. Minus that though, everything was pretty good.“

“the Elvis caught me off-guard because there is nothing on the outside that warns you of the sheer amount of memorabilia, they also sell vernors-which is as far as I know-very rare outside of Michigan. I think they should extend their opening hours though.“

“I ordered a gluten free dairy free vegetable pizza . It was a personnel size 12 inch pizza. It was very good I ate 1/2 of it. It’s so hard to find a really good pizza when you’re Gf & DF but this place Pizza My Love was fantastic. Also had the chicken wings. They were so very nice and crispy they way I like them. Thank you Pizza My Love. Love the name?❤️??“

“Stopped by today for opening. Pizza is the best around. Must be if I drive from Pittsfield 45 min drive. Was a little disappointed in the wings. A little dry for me. I like more sauce. Last yr they were perfect. Maybe I should have ordered a little more sauce on the side.“

“Best. Favorite. Restaurant. Ever. Anytime we make a trip to Albany we go to Lanie's. Their drinks don't compete with anywhere else and don't get me STARTED on their food. Their coconut shrimp is the best hands down and their sauce for it is rich with coconut and pineapple chunks. If you're ever in the area - it's a MUST go. It does get busy and they don't take reservations, but do have a waitlist. Service is great, never had a bad experience here.“

“Glad to have had the opportunity to visit this well known local spot while visiting the area. Unlike any pizza joint experience i’ve ever had. First we ordered at a counter before being escorted through the back of a narrow alley into a small garden seating area. nothing formal, all low key.The food came out quick and the service was friendly.the pizza itself was some of the best i’ve ever had. very doughy with unique flavor that almost melts in your mouth. there was a perfect amount of seasoning over fresh mozzarella cheese. I like the options of various doughs to try as well. We went with the standard dough to get the original flavor. Also tried the garlic bread and house made meatballs. The sauce for both was equally delicious. I hope to have the opportunity to re-visit this location to try some of the speciality pizza and pasta options. Very highly recommended ? ? ?“

“We rented the upstairs dining room for my partner's birthday - 20 people. Maeve was great helping plan (and putting up with our shifting guest list and dietary needs), Chef Jake put together an excellent tasting menu and executed it so well.

“I frequent this establishment and I love the staff and food here. I usually order for pick up and the timing is always right. If he say 15 minutes it will be ready in 15 minutes. I never have to wait for my food when I arrive. The sauce on the pizza is never to sweet, and the crust is always perfect. It's not too crowded, and there is seating available also.Parking: Huge parking lot.Kid-friendliness: No loud/offensive music.Wheelchair accessibility: More than enough space for wheelchair accessibility.“

“I'm giving a somewhat grudging 4 stars tonight. Great pizza, frustrating service.Waited outside for 25 minutes for the order to show as ready but it never did, so if you pick up just go inside and ask about it. The pizza itself was wonderful once I heated it back up.“

“As an Albany resident, I take no pleasure in giving such a good review to a restaurant outside of Albany. But good pizza is good pizza. It is what it is.This establishment understands the art of the sauce ratio. So many times you have a pizza and they barely put any sauce. It is the blend of the sweetness of sauce and sharpness of the cheese that makes the pizza.I will have to give up another one of my subscriptions, because I have to work Cugino’s into my budget.I was told the owner also ran PJs pizza, which was in Albany. it is a very short drive over the bridge from where we live so this is my spot moving forward.“

“Ordered wings on a busy football night. Absolutely fantastic. The quality of the chicken was the best, and sauce was so delicious. I ordered mild. Blue cheese dressing also not run of the mill. Side veg very very fresh. Just appreciate the level here as it's getting hard to find. No need to look further!“

“One of my favorite comfort foods. Can't beat the prices. Not to mention. These guys are usually up and delivering earlier as well as later than most. With everything that you expect of a sub /pizza shop. I like that I can order online but don't have to choose to pay electronically. I can still finalize my order and choose to pay cash on delivery. I can't tell you how many times I will have cash on me but hate to place orders over the phone, I'm someone who has to look at the menu as I'm ordering. Or I'll forget what sounded good.Kid-friendliness: They understand picky eaters and always have a perfect solution for my kids.“

“Good pizza for a good price. I got 4 slices and 2 drinks for $16 (including tax). The pizza crust was really good (thin crust). The staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself is small but nice, it was clean and had some fun arcade games and a TV. Overall I would recommend it, I stopped here for lunch while I was in the area and I wasn't disappointed.“

“Excellent calzone and Greek salad to go for dinner last night. My husband and I went to college in Brooklyn and used to eat calzone all the time. We finally found one that measures up!!! Got it with sausage and olives and it was sooooo good. Got two but we couldn't finish one. Salad was huge too, and just perfect. Lots of feta and olives and good dressing. Man at the counter could not be nicer. Even held the door for me.“

“Forts Ferry Farm (FFF) is hard to define. It changes from season to season and as a farm, that seems befitting. For Fun Foods, now shuttered, used to offer prepared and frozen foods on site. There was also a selection of produce from the farm and pantry items like extra virgin olive oil sold in their store. Issues with the town of Colonie put an end to that venture. Not to worry, FFF, has a presence at both the Delmar and Troy Farmers' Markets for retail. They also have farmers' market pop ups at the farm on occasion. They seem to have a burgeoning wholesale market with several restaurants in the area. The wholesale market is open to everyone using the fortsferryfarmwholesale.… website. I believe they have plans to open a retail store in Hudson. I once emailed a question through their website about mycology (watching too much The Last of Us) and one of the owners, Emma Hearst, replied almost immediately to my question. Both she and her husband, John Barker, are chefs. I believe their restaurant's name in NYC was Sorella. They moved back upstate to grow food and share it with their community, both fellow chefs and consumers. The produce grown on the farm is top notch. I remember eating different heirloom tomatoes from the farm. It was simply cut, drizzled with a little olive oil, and sprinkled with a pinch of salt. The taste of those tomatoes defines summer. Another discover for me was honeynut squash. It has a thinner skin which is edible and the flesh seems much sweeter than butternut squash. The salad mixes are generous and bagged for convenience. The ginger they're growing seems to be a different varietal. They offer the tried and true classics but also venture out to offer different options to their patrons. The brand of Forts Ferry Farm is managed very well. They have both designers and farmers on staff. Check out the photos created by the staff on this site, they're gorgeous. I believe their cookbook will also be out for sale soon. Whatever Forts Ferry Farm grows into, I'm sure it will be innovative yet also founded on cultivating "goodness".By the way, if you ever have the opportunity to get one of their salted chocolate chip cookies, do not hesitate. Honestly, it's probably the best I've ever had.“

“Ive been going to Labella’s for years know and the food has been consistently good and they service as well. After having a little hiccup in my food order I called to inform them of the issue not expecting anything to be done . They were very nice and professional about the issue and took care of it right away. This and the fact that you will get a good meal at a good price served by friendly servers is the reason I will recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Labella’s for hearing me out and fixing the issue.“
