Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Ithaca

We had an amazing dinner from start to finish. Jessie was our server and she was great. Very attentive. We (5 people) all loved our dishes…duck, scallops, steak and risotto. Dessert and drinks we wonderful as well!

There was actually seafood in their seafood chowder. All of our food and drinks were superb! We enjoyed great service and the recently rebuilt restaurant was beautiful with amazing Holiday decorations. The fireplace in our room made the ambiance complete. It was a five star experience.

Delicious food, festive occasion, bustling restaurant but we felt very private and happy in our table in a back corner. Attentive but not intrusive service. Food presented nicely, good variety of dishes, we all enjoyed our meals, whether seafood or Italian specialties. Not rushed through it, either; plenty of time to linger over our meals. We always enjoy our time at Gola!

1833 bar and restaurant in the Aurora Inn. We had the NY Strip and Halibut entrees. Excellent. Their fries are fantastic. Our dessert was a cranberry/ blueberry crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Blew us away! Service was impeccable!! We will be back!

a great place for a business meeting, or a friendly chat with an old friend.
