Without a doubt a must stop when passing through the Albany area. Also one at Clifton Park. You can’t get a better steal at that price. Try the Utica Greens undoubtedly one of my favorites. Calamari melted in your mouth.

Have been here before. Very dissatisfied in the service. Told the waitress it was my bday and ignored. Several tables around us had bday celebrations and desserts. Mine was not acknowledged. My baked potato was burned - inedible - and my bfs veal was also burned. Will not return after this experience.

What a find in Albany, NY. So happy I got to try this spot out. First off, the interior was very unique and unlike most Italian restaurants. It just felt authentic and overall original. The garlic bread was completely different than any other bread I have eaten at an Italian restaurant and the garlic butter made a huge difference as well. The food here was just GREAT! It felt like it was the recipe of someone’s grandmother and they continued the tradition into their restaurant. I honestly wish I could have eaten more of the food here and tried other things. But it was extremely satisfying. Can’t think of one negative about this place. If you are visiting the area, definitely check this place out if you are looking for a REAL Italian meal.

This is an Italian steakhouse in Colonie, Albany. The atmosphere is nice and the food is good. We ordered a steak and a seafood pasta. I would say the steak is better. The waitress is nice and keep asking if we need anything, somewhat I think she did overdo that, for example once the dish is up, she asks if that’s good, before we even eat it.

What a lovely place! The food was amazing, but definitely could have just picked one entree to share. I don't do wines, but felt like I needed to have a glass. The AMAZING server helped me figure it out. The tiramisu was phenomenal, next time I think we'd get one entree and two desserts 🤣

The atmosphere immediately when your walk in the door is positive and welcoming. The servers, host, management and udders were extremely attentive and knowledgeable about all the good items served. Our waitress Phoebe was just a breath of fresh air. She was honest and open that she was a new server there and had only been employed a few days but that she was a long standing customer since childhood and recommended the chicken Sinatra as her favorite dish. Highly recommend and we will bring the whole family next time

Came here for a friends birthday dinner. I've never been and wasn't sure what to expect. The chandeliers were nice but the wooden characters on the wall and the waitresses dressed in stockings some with fedoras seemed a bit gimmicky. I ordered the mozzarella frittas which seemed like they were cooked in old oil. See photo. I ordered the chicken Marsala and the sauce was very bland along with the garlic buttered angel hair. Maybe I should have tried the steak. I paid $50 for my items and left more to be desired.

After going to the Clifton Park location a couple weeks ago this location was honestly a disappointment. The seats near the windows were freezing. The bread was cold upon arrival. The food was ok in general but you could tell the plates had sat waiting a bit from the appearance and temperature. On a positive note the Salmon was fantastic.
