“Absolutely Love the Burnt-hills store. I ordered online went to pick it up. It was done in the time they quoted! The kid at the window was so so nice . Wish I knew his name I would give him a shout out! The pizza was delicious and hot when we got home! Overall a great experience with great pizza! Can't ask for better than that!!“

“The salad and homemade dressing were delicious, and the steak sandwich was perfect. The pizza thst other tables ordered smelled and looked amazing. I was not a fan of the Chicken Francaise it was more of a thin butter sauce than the white wine lemon sauce that was describe. I will stick with the to pizza, sandwiches and salad next time.“

“Everyone in my party said their food was delicious. We told the waitress that we were definitely going to go back. Everything was great!Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see a ramp, so I don't know if it's accessible or not.“

“In celebrating a birthday, a big group was easily accommodated by the great staff. We got to try calamari, mussels, duck, pork chop, beef short rib and the pasta special. Each dish unique and flavorful. The majority of the meal was ordered from the Italian portion of the menu. The dishes stayed true to Italian food and the Mexican elements were noticeable but not overtaking the origin of the dish. like using roasted poblano in the calamari, or the amazing black cherries with the duck breast. The Italian Chianti from their wine selection is delicious and complimented the meal perfectly. so we got two bottles. Great experience.“

“I wish I had thought to take pictures, because this place was absolutely phenomenal.Breakfast Platter, $14... three eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns, and a short stack of fairly huge pancakes. Everything was just about perfect, though I wish they could have gotten the hash browns a tiny bit crispier.For $8 they have a cinnamon bun French toast, which is this enormous fat cinnamon bun sliced into thirds and then prepared frenchtoast style.The omelettes are fairly large too.Only three real gripes. Number one, they do not have a gluten-free bread or toast option. It d/n affect me, but did affect a couple of other people in the group I was with. Number two, a side of corned beef hash was $8. Maybe that's a really huge side, but that's a pretty steep price, an entree price for a side. I ended up not getting it. I would imagine, that had I goten it, it would have been excellent like everything else was. Number three, there's syrup is just regular National brand quote unquote pancake syrup, and while they do offer real maple syrup, it is a $3 upcharge.But those were relatively minor gripes. The food is great, the service was fantastic, extremely friendly, extremely helpful, and very accommodating of special dietary needs (aside from tbe lack of GF toast) and food allergies, and willing to make reasonable substitutions were possible.A very good experience. Five people ate more or less like happy pigs for only $81.“

“Hands down best Italian left in the area. We both got chicken parm. It was the best we have had in the capital district. The clam chowder soup and meatballs were awesome too some of the best we have ever had!We hope the owners stay open for many years to come and the recipes don't change“

“Went to Ripe Tomato tonight for dinner and was not disappointed. Starting with their bread which I couldn't stop eating. I had the special Pasta Milano and it was so good I wish I hadn't eaten all that bread. The others in our party ordered veal parm and seafood FraDiablo which were OK but nothing special. Our waitress was great and the atmosphere is a little loud but not deafening. If you haven't been give it a try and enjoy. Suggest you make reservations of you go on weekend.“

“I’ve had my share of pizza, this is the best in the region. Thin slice, crispy crust, wings are phenomenal.. and we all know that’s hard to find nowadays. Have never got something here I didn’t like.. pizza, sub, garlic knots, wings.. these guys know how to make it.“

“I went to meet a group of friends that I hadn't met before. We had a group dinner I forgot to bring cash I had a credit card only. The waitress handled it very well. I've ordered food from pasta Payne before but I've never eaten there. It was very nice inside. Next time we arranged to meet I have to ask not to be up on this step section. I didn't know it had a stepped up section. Everything was nice the bread was good that they gave us as we ordered they had Earl Gray tea which was awesome cuz some places don't carry it. I didn't want to get a meal so I got appetizers calamari. There's a spot on. I had a nice crunch it had a nice texture it was awesome flavored. We came with the marinara sauce that was that was good I'm not in the marinara but I know it was good. I also ordered from the side menu, Fagioli Cavolo. Greens and beans. My dad made this every year and I hated it never ate it I think I tried it once. I had it at a restaurant a year ago and I actually kind of liked it so I thought I'll order it here. I actually kind of love it. It looks beautiful. It was so bright and green and the beans were just perfect and the sauce just tasted awesome. It's like a soupy broth it was in. I don't know if they used to meet soup broth like chicken or if it's just the Bean Juice but it tastes like maybe there might have been cheese like Romano or parmigiana. I don't really know what was in it but it was awesome. I was incredibly happy I ordered it. I didn't take a picture of the food when I was there but everyone knows what calamari looks like there's not great kind you get that has icky breading and there's a really lovely kind that has a delicate perfect breading and the delicate perfect breading is what I got. I did take a picture of The Greens and Beans the next day when I ate the the rest of it. It was still amazing. It's a shame my pictures do not do the food Justice because it was just fantabulous. It was so fresh tasting. I thought I hated kale but it turns out if you know what you're doing kale is amazing.“

“Italian mix with roasted red peppers and prosciutto was likely the best sub ive ever had. The amount of meat is unparalleled. It was basically a titanic meat boat! Bread is amazing, but small, which I love because I'm a guy who watches his carbs. The quality was unlike anything I've ever had. Great family working there with an amazing little store. Highly recommend pairing a nice dry red wine with this sub!!!“

“I went there for the first time. It was amazing. Don't have a single bad thing to say about it. But, the next day, I discovered the hard way that I ate too much and spent at least an hour on the toilet and threw up. But the food and service was great and I hope I build up the courage to “

“My father and I came here for my early birthday dinner. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, and the decor was beautiful. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We started off with the brussel sprouts and the beet salad, both of which were fabulous. For our entrees we got the short rib ragout, the broccoli rabe and sausage pasta, and the lemon herb haddock. Everything was phenomenal and the portions were large. Our experience was so great that I’m booking them for my graduation dinner. We can’t wait to go back soon!!“

“Our dinner was from top to bottom a 5 star dining experience. Food, service, ambience, all excellent with the added personal touch of the owner to enhance our evening. Thank you Johnny’s for giving us a wonderful birthday celebration. Bob & Anne.“

“We stop any time we are in the area. We were there this past Thursday and the food was excellent as it always is, and the waitress we had was awesome! She refilled our drinks without us asking and perfectly timed, i squirted catsup on my fries and it made a spurt sound... she immediately brought us another bottle, again without asking! We love it here and I know you will also!“

“Loved it! Tremendously chic and fantastic atmosphere. Staff are super friendly and make your dining experience very relaxing and enjoyable. The food is very good and nice selection of different appetizers; not just the ol' standbys. Plenty of parking which is great since this is in the Stockade area. Definitely going back.“

“Not only does Grano have amazing food, but their customer service is also fantastic! I went there recently before a show at Proctors, and unfortunately the kitchen was a little behind, and we did not have enough time to eat. When leaving Proctors, our server was waiting outside the theater to give us our food to take home. They really went above and beyond. I will definitely be going back soon!“

“This was my first time here and will definitely not be my last! The food portions were huge and absolutely scrumptious! The most tender veal dish I have ever had. The staff and service were exceptional- ask for Gianna, she’s a fantastic bartender and ambassador of this amazing restaurant! It’ll be busy, but definitely worth the wait! Don’t forget to finish with the homemade Italian Love Cake!“

“Pellegrino is my weekly stop for Boar's Head and Pellegrino homemade cole slaw and macaroni salad. Staff is great, and they know exactly how I want my cold cuts cut! Steve did a sandwich platter for my Long Island guests, and it was a hit! It is a pleasure to give them my business !“

“My mom & I visited Saratoga Springs this weekend and I found in a Google search Carson's. The restaurant is located Malta, NY which was only around 15 mins away. Monday nights are trivia nights but if you're looking to participate, make sure you have a charged device because that's how they keep score of points. The view is amazingggg from where the tavern lies. The food and drinks were also exceptional! We had the tuxedo shrimp to start and a Caesar salad & the mac and cheese which were both delicious. They also had fire pits which we took advantage of before leaving. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area!“

“Restaurant week in schenectady at we hit ferrari's. OMG. Nate our server was amazing. So was the gentleman bagging leftovers. Food even better but they were both great. $30 got me calamari, linguini and desert. Hubby got the pasta fagioli (a quart) and beef braciole. Delicious. Not our first visit never our last. Have left overs for 3 more people. Please keep them in business.“

“I recently moved to the area and have found Brooke's Pizza. The Pizza is great, the place is extremely clean and the staff is *FAST* and friendly. You generally will not be waiting long for anything!And I love their submarine sandwiches!! This place is the new standard by which other shops will be judged!“

“Augie's was absolutely amazing! It was the first time I had ever been, and I would recommend it to everyone! I grew up in B.Spa and remember that location as being an IGA market way back when. I hadn't been back in probably 40 years. Honestly, everything at Augie's was perfect...the atmosphere, service, and the food were phenomenal! Five stars across the board! Fortunately, we arrived early because shortly thereafter, the dining area near the bar filled up quickly. From my understanding, they take reservations, and I will be making one next time we go.Parking: We had no issues with parking but we arrived early. As we were leaving, I did notice the lot in front was very full, so late arrivals may encounter some issues potentially.“

“Very pleased with my experiance. The pizza was perfectly baked as well as the amazing blonde chicken parm we ordered. Both dishes were very flavorful as well as the side of garlic bread we had. The staff was super helpful and friendly when I came in to grab my order and over the phone. Would defiantly come here again and recommended to many friends and family.“

“First timer visit on a family members recommendation. Four star food and service so that is impressive. Five stars for the gal who greeted and seated our seven member party. She was super nice beyond what you can reasonablly expect these days. The french toast was good. The italian toast, bacon and egss were also solid. The standout was the potatos served with the eggs. Cooked to perfection and tasty to boot. Everyone enjoyed the food. The coffee was just okay but it was hot. My only objection was that the place had a smell to it that indicated it might not be regularly cleaned. My wife noticed it as well. Still, in an era where a good breakfast place is increasingly hard to find we overlooked this and the greeter and the food made up for it. Check it out for yourself.“

“We went to dinner at Scotti's recently and it was incredible. I had the Veal Gaetano and my wife had the Chicken with white wine. Both were superb ....the veal tender and perfectly cooked and the chicken moist and delicious. The sides broccoli and linguini were an excellent complement to our dinner. To top it off we had the tiramisu and it was easily the best tiramisu of any restaurant we've visited. Kudos to the owner and staff for a great evening!“

“Every Friday we order and they always know what we get and every Friday we always get the same driver and I love it food is always amazing and my kids love itParking: They have a big enough parking lot to fit a far amount of carsKid-friendliness: Very sweet when my kids are being loud and food is so easy for my kids to eat“

“The meal and dessert was good. I got the peach salmon special and my wife got chicken marsala. Both entrees were cooked well and tasted great. The only negative is that the service was a bit brisk, resulting in us not being able to order a side or drinks after dinner. This is very unusual for this restaurant. It was just our server.“

“I went to Cusato's the other day as i was craving some New York style pizza, and I was just blown away! The employees are very nice, they make you feel at home. I ordered a large Chicken Parm pizza and it was amazing. There are plenty of big tv's to watch while you enjoy your nice crispy slice of pizza. Would recommend anyone in Ballston spa to come check this place out!“

“The food here is always stellar. The last time I went, our server was in the middle of an argument with the hostess and let it affect the way she acted toward us. I tried to break the ice and asked her if she needed a beer too because she seemed stressed. She then explained to us how frustrated she was with the hostess. She seemed to lighten up after that and our dining experience became less tense. We ordered a round pepperoni pie and it was delicious, as always.“

“For me whenever I visit the US, Olive Garden is a must. The food is consistently good, prices are right, and the service is top-notch. However, this particular location made a lasting impression. From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed. Also, my waiter Moe was a really nice and friendly guy and made sure everything was perfect.“

“Had dinner there last night with my boyfriend and everything was absolutely divine! The calamari is probably the best calamari I've ever had and the Utica greens were spot on. I had the bolognase and he had the veal parm, both were delicious! We will definitely be back to try more dishes! (and for that calamari.. yum!!)“

“Absolutely delishious. My wife had The Pranzo and I ordered the The Italian, both had eggplant in them and it awesome. The Pranzo is a spinach wrap. My wife couldn't say enough how much she enjoyed it. The Italian had old school Italian sesame seed sub roll. The bread was extremely fresh, not dense and doeiy where you're eating a lot of bread. The meats in my sub were delishious. I'm 6ft 2in., 256 lbs. and have a big appetite and that sub was more than enough. My wife could only finish half of her wrap. A awesome value as the prices are very reasonable. My order was a take out however the young lady at the counter was very personable and friendly. Give this place a try, you will not regret it.“

“Excellent in every way! Great pizza and subs. Best turkey subs anywhere. The hot eggplant sub is epic. Excellent rolls and breadsticks. Quality at reasonable prices. Best of all, the hard-working staff is amazing. Accurate orders, fast, friendly, professional service. We get takeout, but there are a few tables to eat in. The interior is clean and cheery, with a great pressed tin ceiling. We have been coming here for years, and are looking forward to many years to come.“

“We went after Dinosaurs Live. My picky grandson had 2 slices of the delicious bread and butter then Spaghetti and Meatballs, he couldn't eat it fast enough. Enjoyed the pasta, the meatballs and tried the Mac and cheese....yum. My son and I had the chicken Parm, the best I have ever had. Hot and juicy, even the edges. We had left over and ordered dessert to bring home. Service was great and very friendly staff, atmosphere great and every thing was clean. If they ever decide to sell the sauce, please let me know. Most definitely true homemade Italian sauce. THANK YOU! One Happy Mom of the Birthday son and so pleased my grandson enjoyed every bite. Going to tell my friends, co- workers and please go try them out, you will be so glad you did and I saw that they cater.....MORE PERRECA'S a definite win!Parking: Plenty of parking in the back and there is off street parking but not neededKid-friendliness: I really searched the area for a restaurant that had a children's menu and children friendly.They covered it all.“

“Before I start getting chewed out by anyone, Atmosphere is a 1 out of 5. Care to guess why? There is no atmosphere. You order, you get it, you leave. Oh, and it's cash only. No credit cards, no bitcoin, nothing crazy. The whole establishment exists for 1 sole purpose: to provide pizza and pizza type staples one would come to expect from a pizza establishment. For every corner cut to make this place a pickup only establishment, it's for a purpose. That purpose is to provide some of the BEST pizza and some of the BEST hot wings in the area. Their wings, honestly have incredible kick and some outstanding spice to them. The pizza is incredibly balanced with their flavors. Not too sweet on the sauce, not too much garlic, dough is just right. A decent laughing point, though, is their wings. I've never heard of wings and spuds. Ever. It's good, actually. Incredibly good. Great combination. I'd have never thought to put the two together, but that's my own limited imagination. 10/10 love this place.“

“Ordered delivery after we smelt the pizza in the lobby and got a peek at other customers pies. Ordered up at 1145pm. By 1220 the delivery was here. It was hot enough it had to cool off a bit(mind you it's 0 degrees tonight lol) for a freshness reference. Delivery guy was a great guy also. The pizza looked great. Thin crusty and slightly well the way I like it. The ONLY thing I can suggest is a bit of improvement on the sauce please a little more flavor and this pizza would be a 10. We will definitely order again.“

“Red Front is unique. It's not NY style pizza. It's not the run-of-the-mill, carbon copy American style that many other local places have either. It's just its own thing. Whether it's COB or traditional, you get a really nice pan pizza with an effectively fried bottom crust and an awesomely sweet sauce with a great spice balance. This location is great -- the staff is friendly, the food comes out fast and hot. You really can't ask for much more than that.“

“Ordered online and took a chance on the gluten free white pizza and Oh my goodness! This was the best thing Iv'e tasted since my celiac diagnosis 8 years ago!! Was planning on eating half and saving the other half but could not stop devouring this amazing pizza!! Please keep this on your menu. “

“I haven't ordered food from anywhere in a while. The last few days I've been having a craving for a fish fry. Well today I decided to go myself some. I remember the last one I got from here and it was excellent. So I ordered one for delivery along with fried raviolis. The young lady who answered the phone was very polite and the delivery time she quoted was spot on. The delivery driver was also very friendly as well. Now onto the food. Absolutely amazing. Hot and ready to eat. Fish was perfectly cooked as my better half and I can both confirm since she had to try it. Along with the ravioli being spot on. No complaints and next time I'll half to get my better half her own fish fry. Thanks again and we will be back.“

“This pizza place has the best pizza along with Pastas, Chicken Sandwiches and Halal. I have been coming here for over a year almost everyday. The customer service is very professional and fast. I would highly recommend stopping by and checking this place! I refer all of my family and friends to check it out!“

“I usually order for takeout from their website which is super easy, I have never ordered pizza or any other dishes so I can’t tell you how they are, However their Moon sandwiches are all excellent and highly recommended. The Steak Moon is my favorite and the Buffalo Moon is my second. The inside of the restaurant is super clean and inviting and the staff is super friendly. It’s worth hiving them a try“

“Just ordered a calzone, hot sub, medium boneless wings, soup and munchie mania appetizer… it was the best meal my family has had in a long time, everything was hot and fresh, delicious, looked nice plus the cashier was very kind… perfect ending to my Saturday.“

“Wow, this is good pizza.I can't believe how amazing it is. They have wonderful artisan pizzas. Extremely creative flavors, extremely creative ingredients. What a joy. The service here is very friendly and very nice. The only downside here is the dining area is a little small.But well worth the food. I have been here once a week for the last month. And each time I try a different slice. I haven’t found one I don't like. Each one is more amazing than the last.If you like very creative food. This is a wonderful place to try. Like great-tasting pizza. This is a wonderful place to try.Vegetarian options: Most of their artisan pizzas came with amazing veggies on them.“

“Great staff! Great value! We got the family special which was a large cheese pizza and a HUGE antipasto salad! Also a pitcher of soda. All for under $30! The lettuce on the salad was fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the meat cups were great! Also got a loaf of bread!“

“Best Pizza and Garlic Knots!!! Great customer service and great food!!! I am usually a hard critic on pizza but this place is hands on the best! Reheated my leftovers and still cheesy and fresh!! I will be making Mama’s Express my go to even if I have to drive 25 minutes away!! Thank you once again!! Amazing food!!“

“I came here for dinner with my family and it was amazing! This was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. I got Mac and cheese, not sure if that’s what it’s called on the menu but it was 11/10. They make the pasta here fresh so it was unlike anything else I’ve ever had. We also got the truffle fries minus the truffle for an appetizer and they were some of the best fries I’ve ever had. Our server was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be back again!“

“Excellent pepperoni pizza and the service was great! The ambiance was chill and clean. The staff are friendly and the food was fresh. I had ordered the pepperoni pizza and it tasted like a classic pepperoni pizza and reminded me of NYC pizza. The sauce was flavorful and great! The grandma was also good. I think I finally found a good spot!“
