“We were there last night for a friend’s birthday. Place was packed but we had a reservation and were seated quick. Apps, entrees and desserts were all delicious and huge servings. The pineapple tropical margarita was so tasty! Our server Dayana was very sweet and attentive. She made my friend’s birthday very special. We will definitely be going back!”
“Going to this restaurant is like going to the owners house for dinner the service the food the welcoming nature of the restaurant was just great I hope they are blessed with continued success thank you for a wonderful meal again!!”
“We came as a group of four. Parking is super easy in the plaza. The choice for all-you-can-eat is amazing for us who loves meat. The iPad for self ordering is really convenient, and our service guy is really nice in refilling water and changing grill. I'm a huge fan of the seaweed salad and cheesy corn. Fried rice is ok...less flavorful and too little of portion. But the quality of the meat is perfect in Albany. We almost got all kinds of beef if not second round. First time doing lamb and got really surprised by the juicy and flavorful meat. Love the fact that they have ice cream and smores for dessert. Didn't get to drink much this time but would love to come back next time to have another feast.”
“Very creative menu, delicious food set in a historic building. Beautiful rooms, would love to dine on the patio someday. Here from Boston. Kelly our server was friendly and efficient. A must try.”
“Great service!!! Rocky is always our server and he's so sweet and helpful. He explains something if we don't know what it is. We always feel like family whenever we go there. Everyone remembers us whenever we go.”
“This was my first time here, we were in Albany for appointment and were trying to find a vegan place. I didn’t know most places in Albany are closed on Mondays. Wizard burger blew our minds. The friendly staff were patient as we took a bit to take it all in. The atmosphere was great from the music to the decor, they also have a free library and can play retro video games. Onto the food, my husband had a burger and fries that he said was perfect. I had the Buffalo chik’n sandwich, and fries, I couldn’t finish mine due to the size. It was about 5 tenders cooked perfectly and smothered with Buffalo and ranch. The fries were hot, and not greasy like most places. The price for 2 entrees and 2 Mexican coca-colas were $30. Not bad for an all vegan meal with large portions. I highly recommend Wizard burger, and look forward to going back.”
“A southern brunch that was so good. 4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and we all enjoyed it immensely. I had the Dad and it was absolutely delicious. We loved the fried green tomatoes, and the tater tots. I had a bourbon bacon bloody Mary that was out of this world. I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.”
“An awesome brewery with great food, known nationally for their IPA's. All their food is made in house. There is tons of seating but don't let that fool you, they do fill up quick. They have beer types for everyone to include dark, sour, light, IPA, cider and usually host guest taps. The food menu is pretty extensive and also have something for everyone. Parking usually is pretty easy and the customer service is top notch. Highly recommend this as a must stop destination in Albany, NY!!!”
“Gorgeous little gem of a store. Their employees are incredibly nice and friendly, and the yuzu egg tart in particular is a creamy delight. I'd love to try the chocolate one if I can ever get there in time, because they rightfully sell out of tarts quickly.”
“Good mooring! Are you craving some delicious ice cream?! The perfect spot to satisfy the cravings is here. The parking is street parking, but I always find parking no matter when I go. When you first enter the store, it gives you a warm vibe, which is perfect for eating ice cream! I went when it was high noon. When I got to the counter, Sam greeted me right away, and she offered excellent suggestions. It took me a while to decide on what to get because the menu has unique names. Sam offered me samples, which helped me make my decision. She was very professional even though I was standing there for a while, trying to decide what to get with asking for multiple samples. In my personal experience, some people get impatient when you can't decide right away. You can't go wrong with any flavor! The ice cream was super tasty and amazing. The seating area is very cozy and organized. It feels like you got teleported to your living room. One thing that caught my eye was the chess board on the table. Make sure to clean up after yourself because we all know you don't leave garbage around in your living room. Overall, I have to say the experience was amazing because of Sam. Shout out to Sam!”
“We decided to try Albany Ale and Oyster House on a chilly, rainy Wednesday afternoon since we had to be on New Scotland Avenue for an afternoon doctor appointment. I'm so glad we did, and also happy we arrived just as they were opening because we were able to sit at the bar and visit with one of the owners, Mia. We tried a flight of beer opting for all pilsners, one each from Italy France, Czechia and from our own New York region; all tasty, just the right amount of foam and nice and chilled. I ordered the Beyond brat which comes with comes with kale slaw and honey mustard, crispy potato chips in a brown paper bag for soaking up the oil and keeping them crispy, and a mixed green salad with the best sesame honey dressing. I love good salads and this one was perfect, with dressing on each lettuce leaf. Mia said they take their salads seriously, and you can tell. My partner had the Reuben and he proclaimed it the best he ever had. Overall the taste, presentation and preparation of the food was perfect. Combined with the cozy atmosphere and the friendliness of the owner and all who work there; Albany Ale and Oyster House is now one of my top favorites in the areaVegetarian options: In addition to the Beyond Brat they offer Beyond Burger and some interesting salads.”
“I Was referred here by some co- workers, came here with my fiance we loved the food, great atmosphere, the owner was super friendly and hospitable from the moment we entered. We will definitely come here again. Looking forward to trying their breakfast.?”

“Very hospitable restaurant. Lady brought us out hot tea and then a salad and soup. Then our appetizer and main meL came which was excellent. It was then ended with a homemade green tapioca. Very friendly place with incredible service. Can't wait to go back!”
“I got a delicious meatball sub. Everything about it was fantastic, bread & meatballs.If there was anything I think could have been a little better, I wish there was a little more sauce and some cheese on it.But you can't beat the taste and service.I'll be back and probably for another meatball sub . The cookies are addicting too.”
“A ton of fun. They were able to have a group of 5 of us drop in for about an hour. We got a quick tutorial on axe throwing with the various tools and then we were left to do it ourselves with periodic checkins make sure it was going good. The boozy moos served there was also fun. I was able to get a flight of the ice creams and try a couple of different flavors. Would totally go again.”
“Hai I have visited the store 4 timesI have experienced the best food over here in reasonable price and the staff was very coolKarthik received and helped very wellI suggest this for everyone to go over there”
“5 star pizza. Place is no frills, but clean and welcoming. Everybody was pleasant to deal with. And when I tell you the pizza is great…..THE PIZZA IS GREAT. It stands out in all categories, texture, taste, quality just fantastic. We had a margherita with prosciutto. Can’t say it enough times, it’s a spectacular pizza. Give them a shot!”
“This is our favorite Italian specialty shop. Amazing subs, salads, fresh grated cheese, fresh rolls, homemade soups, Italian dinners. The guys are all so friendly and make the shop a fun stop. A must visit, but don't go hungry.”
“I've lived here my entire life passed this place a thousand times and finally went in...one of life's regrets is not trying to sooner. Everything was perfect from the second you walk in.I had the Veal Luciana, hands down the best I've ever had. This is one of my top dish life time. You have to give them a try. The house salad was also out of this word, I could have got two of those and been satisfied with my meal. Simply delicious.Great service and quick food delivery. Everything and everyone was on point.Prices were right on with what you get for a meal. Excellent flavor.”
“I must’ve passed this placed 5,000 times but never went in. That was a bad move on my part.I tried this place today and it was PHENOMENAL.The atmosphere the choices on the menu, the quality of food, the service and the price - all amazing.You don’t find a lot of diners likes this anymore and it has instantly become my goto diner.”

“Very tasty food. Really freshly prepared. Very friendly owners. Lots of vegetarian dishes. We'd love to come back! ?????Vegetarian options: Freshly prepared meals.”
“Calamari is very good as an appetizer. The dishes are plentiful. Atmosphere is of an old style restaurant, nice and comfortable. No TVs hanging from every corner of the rooms.”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with Valentin, he was very kind & gracious to his services. I love this place!! Definitely will recommend to my family and friends. ?”
“This was our first visit to this restaurant and definitely will be back again. The service was so welcoming and friendly. We really felt like they were happy to have us. The food was great. We recommend the buffalo ”
“Lovely traditional Tuscan restaurant. Great service. Beautiful menu, all pastas are home made. Sauces little too heavy for my taste, but that's a matter of preference. I had the daily special sea bass, there are few things as satisfying as a perfectly-cooked, flaky filet of fish! Very attentive service. Decor is dated and room is dark. But then again more matter of preference.”
“This is one of the best resteraunts to experience a NY style Pizza. This is close enough to what you get in NYC, and New Jersey. Staff is fantastic, make excellent drinks, and their French onion soup is also amazing. Been there probably 4 times in my life and it's never been a disappointment.”
