“I’ve been coming here since the opened, they’re always spot on. The new place is beautiful (Formerly Roux, another favorite) they’ve changed it up a bit looks great and always immaculate and clean. Staff very attentive and look the part as well and now the food, Ohhh the food, last night I popped is for pizza, salad and a drink. It was exactly what I need. I started out with a Hot & dirty Martini which was a great start made just how I liked it, then ordered the Sicilian pizza and Prodoto salad with prosciutto wrapped/cooked shrimp, OMG, you cannot miss with that combination for sure. Price point right where it should be, what a very welcoming established agent. Always return, oh and a quick Peroni too ;)Dietary restrictions: They will pretty much do whatever you ask within reason.Parking: They’re in a mini strip mall, always plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots right out front, curb cut as well“
“We always have a fantastic experience when we visit and celebrate every milestone here- engagement, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, daughter’s 1st birthday, and date nights. Jess, Chef Chris, and the whole staff make the experience outstanding from first bite! Always looking forward to coming back again.Kid-friendliness: Il Faro is always so accommodating when we bring our 2 year old. They have crayons, coloring books, sippy cups and modified food options. We never feel rushed or an inconvenience when we are eating here even with a 2 year old. Il Faro takes care of every customer no matter the age!“
“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.“
“Picked this spot for my girlfriend’s birthday dinner and was our first time there and it was amazing, everything was delicious and the service was excellent. I took one hell of a gamble going somewhere for her birthday where neither of us have been and they helped me come through. They were really busy but attended everyone well. We decided to set reservations again for dinner this weekend.“
“I love this place so much I worked here for a few yrs. The food was outstanding 20 yrs ago and it’s still outstanding today. Homemade and high quality ingredients are what makes this place the best. We’re still customers 30 yrs later. If you want real authentic Italian this the place to go. Wonderful family owned place.“
“My daughter and I had an outstanding dinner last night. We had the soup of the day and artichoke appetizer. We also had the ricotta gnocchi and pasta with clam sauce. Everything was delicious, fresh and served hot. Our server was excellent. She was was attentive and well versed in the menu options. We enjoyed talking with her as she had a wonderful, warm personality. We will absolutely go back. I would highly recommend MezzaNotte.“
“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!“
“Love this little hidden gem! Stopped by for the first time yesterday and it definitely won’t be the last. Nonnas kitchen family vibes, absolutely delicious pizza, salads and subs, incredibly fair prices, you can’t go wrong! Can’t wait to go “
“We dined on the night of February 28th. The temperature changed greatly that night and was very cold, but the restaurant was very cozy and warm.Compared with some restaurants where the service staff wear uniforms, the service staff here wear their own clothes, but the overall style is very family and warm.I especially recommend the octopus heel and scallop pasta. My girlfriend said it was the best Italian dish she had eaten in New York in two years.For those who go to Albany, whether you are traveling, doing business or taking the bar exam, I recommend visiting this restaurant as a happy ending.In addition, the negative reviews of our store seem to be mostly focused on "Tips". People who are coming here are reminded to give tips according to New York practice, unless the service network's performance is really poor that day.“
“The food here is delicious. The bruschetta I had here has never left my mind and I always look forward to it and the other meals as well. My family and I have been here several times and always have a great experience. The staff is friendly and the owner himself as well. Good guy, cares about his employees and customers. 10/10.“
“Super Sbarro! Staff is laid back, like to talk and straight-up oven bakes and knocks out flavorful pizza, dough, salads, calzones, desserts, drinks, garlic knots. A meal (calzone, drink, 1 side) runs you $13. That's a steal considering when you go out to eat these days your entree has shrunk %65 and on top of that you're forced to subsidize wait staff's 'bizarro' life choices + college tuition!NOT AT SBARRO! Some days they have free samples. My calzone was a total success. Food establishments in 2023 are shrinking sizes, leaving out ingredients, serving expired foods and over-shelved beer nobody wants. Without me.I'm coming back to Sbarro in Colonie again this weekend: great deals, flavor-punches and delightful service by tough-as-nails New York pizzaiolos!Rebel review: 5++“
“We went on Saturday for a wonderful Cacio e Pepe experience. Chef Ali and the staff are so welcoming and attentive. The Cacio e Pepe was fantastic and I enjoyed learning about the dish. I also sampled the tiramisu and a limoncello spritz - both delicious. We will be back!“
“I was sceptical of the combination of food options but they pull it off. The food was excellent and the service was great as well. Ordered a variety of food for a takeout dinner and everything from the quesadillas to the Nutella calzone was delicious!“
“Decided to stop here for lunch during a long drive and it was fabulous. The ciabatta is to die for (it’s big beware :)). The boar’s head meat and cheese just elevates the quality and the extra toppings offered made the sandwich perfect. We made our own but they have a wide selection of speciality sandwiches that looked divine“
“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.“
“This place was amazing.....The garlic parmesan chicken wings were delicious and the Meat Lovers Calzone was so good and the portions are huge...... took home a meatball sandwich for dinner and the meatballs were the best I ever have eaten.....you owe it to yourself to try it. You won't be disappointed....“
“My first time dealing with This restaurant and my wife and I are impressed. We purchased their meals for four to take home for a birthday celebration.The Chicken and eggplant Parm are delicious with generous portions and more than generous sides. The cost is extremely affordable compared to other Italian places in the area.The staff is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable.We are looking forward to returning soon to dine in-house and will provide updates.“
“We were there last night!!! Absolutely everything was divine. My boyfriend is a chef and he and I were both incredibly inspired and impressed with the execution of everything, from the beet and burrata, the Roman fried artichoke, the winter veggie riggies and the braised beef cheeks and then the dessert they had on special… just amazing. Served with elegance in a romantic cozy space… definitely made for a fantastic date. Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience!!!“
“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.“
“I'll always have a soft spot for Navona. My dining experience is always great - food is spot on every time even when they're totally slammed. They stay busy but the service is timely and the servers check up frequently to ensure I have all I need. Regularly I dine alone but all friends I've brought with me have enjoyed it - especially the pizza. The inside is cute and the decorations are interesting. I enjoy the lighting as it's not too overpowering which I am sensitive to. The owner is friendly and can be seen chatting with people who are regulars which just goes to show it has the homey, family feel, very personalized. The servers know my order because I consistently get the same thing and dine there so often which is not necessary but sweet. You won't be disappointed - try the pizza and if that's not for you then the bruschetta or focaccia with ricotta, they're all delicious. For dessert I recommend the chocolate mousse - very sweet and rich but totally worth it!“
“La Famiglia nails it every time with their pizza and wings. We've done the rounds at other spots in the capital region, but we always circle back to what we know is the best. It’s become such a favorite that it's our tradition to order from them every Halloween.?“
“We’re there frequently and the food is consistently excellent. Menu is full of well executed traditional Italian dishes. Staff is friendly and very attentive. Icing on the cake - prices are very reasonable for high quality offerings. We plan to continue visiting often.“
“Fantastic meal for our party of 7. Brianna was our server and she was great! She made sure everyone, including the small child with us, was taken care of. Very satisfying experience. This restaurant has customer service down and done well!“
“we ate here after a tough day for my family. we were able to sit right away since we had a reservation. the food came out at a good speed. the atmosphere is very calm and it was nice to sit down after standing all day. however, the waitresses didn't come over to us at all while we were eating. they didn't refill our water cups and since we were the only group in there, it was a little inconvenient. otherwise, the food was very very good.“
“Had the double pepperoni Sicilian. It was so delicious!!! Best pizza I've had since I moved to NY 8 years ago. Can't wait till they open up the Voorheesville location. Then I'll only be 2 minutes away instead of 20.Parking: If you get there before the rush there's plenty of parking, otherwise you would have to park in the shopping center across the street.“
“I attended a fund raising event today.The staff was extraordinary!The food was in generous and delicious portions,and the pastry table prior to the event was luscious especially the cheese danish. Food was served experty.I had a wonderful time and thank all the staff for a job very well done!“
“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 ? ? ?“
“This review is for stop in - take out pizza slices only. Got two different slices, I assume from two different pies, and in both the crust was so thin, soft, & not crisp that it didn't hold up for the rest of the pizza. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love a thin slice, New York slice pizza! It's just that this was so thin and not crisp whatsoever, I guess just not my favorite.The place is otherwise beautiful and the counter service was very good. Saw some of the other food orders and it looked amazing, and the photos also look amazing. Obviously the reviews are good otherwise so I would not hesitate to return, probably just not for slice pizza.“
“My favorite place in the 518 for Pizza. The wait is worth it! Thin, crispy and fresh tasty ingredients. Closest to NYC style you can find upstate. Best to call in the morning for a pick up time. Only open 4 days a week. 7.9 from El Presidente. Good stuff!“
“I love this place. As a student many years ago, I had used D’Carlitos for my senior recital at Saint Rose. The food is excellent overall. Great owners!I went back to try the penne vodka chicken pizza, it is still delicious as always!One point off for the slices of pizza I had ordered. The pizza had been clearly sitting out in the restaurant. I noticed that they had pizza that had been sitting out when I came to pick up the order. Their pizza is usually very good, I was just disappointed in receiving cold pizza. I hope the next time I come back to Albany that the pizza will be fresh and hot.Parking: Parking is not the greatest because it is on a busy street however, you can park in the church parking lot or put your hazard lights on.“
“I ordered Many things from their Large Menu, Everything was delicious, from the specialty dinners to the Subs.My favorite Is the jumbo cheese ravioli with meatballs, You can get 2 dinners out of it. To many things to list. Chicken Wings are really good also.A good Italian family owned place. love it!“
“Was so happy. Impressed with taste, sauce and customer service. You made my Dad's birthday a success. Friday I ordered eggplant Parm dinners and chicken Parm ..Enough food to feed a small group ..However it was a ton of wonderful food. Great aldente ziti, fantastic sauce..Everything cooked to perfection. THANK YOU PIZZA CENTRAL. SEE YOU SOONUpdate. We did the Valentine's thing and got food from THE BEST AND AUTHENTIC PIZZA CENTRAL. WAS AWESOME of course..10 stars ..Thank you Shawna and You guys are awesome . I think you should open one in Lake George! Perfect eggplant , truly perfect! White pizza perfect, absolutely wonderful Chicken Parm and a killer Philly .. See you soon!“
“I ordered a pepperoni calzone, I had a special request that they could brush it with garlic butter sauce , they did that for me . The calzone was huge and the toppings actually went end to end !! Seriously, !! I called back to tell the guy , this is my new calzone spot !!! Well done highbridge !! Well done definitely 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I’ll be back or order delivery agin for sure !!“
“My husband and I love Track 32! We will drive 40 minutes just to eat there! Our favorite pizza is the 293. Pickles, bacon, and alfedo sauce. Delicious! We love their chicken wings as well. Great flavor and always crispy. Garlic knots are on point. We have tried some of the dinner meals, which were very good, but we love their pizza the best. Can get really busy sometimes making wait times for a table and food long, but always worth the wait. Definitely recommend!“
“Today was my birthday and I wanted to try D’Raymonds because I’ve heard so much about it. Well done it might just be my new favorite restaurant. Food was perfect and lots of it. Our Server, Laura was Outstanding , friendly , Attentive , Perfect. There were so much to choose from. I can’t wait to go back. My son wants to go back for his birthday next month. I can’t wait.Vegetarian options: There’s enough for a vegetarian to choose. My daughter is a vegetarian and she had enough choices“
“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.“
“Recently had them provide food for a surprise party at a local bar. They were nice and went over how much food would be good for the party size which was perfect! I also expressed that delivery time was super important in order to not ruin the surprise and they made sure it was right on time!“
“we ate here after a tough day for my family. we were able to sit right away since we had a reservation. the food came out at a good speed. the atmosphere is very calm and it was nice to sit down after standing all day. however, the waitresses didn't come over to us at all while we were eating. they didn't refill our water cups and since we were the only group in there, it was a little inconvenient. otherwise, the food was very very good.“
“Quiet little dinner with a lovely atmosphere, polite staff, and delicous food. My pancakes were fluffy and delicous, bacon was fresh and chewy with some crunch. My partners eggs and home fries were fresh and tasty, we both enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. A real rare dinner, not many hole in the wall dinners left around the area that have this level of service, and quality. Highly recommend.“
“I ordered online and I have a severe dairy allergy. The staff was courteous and called me before making the food to make sure things were made right. Just the peace of mind to know my food would be ok was worth the price of admission. Such nice people and I can’t say enough about that!“
“The pizza was excellent. I traveled from NC to NY with my boyfriend to see his family. He grew up eating pizza from this place and bragged about it endlessly. Well it didn't disappoint, the pizza is delicious and so is the pretzel bites. I was not a fan of the hot garlic parmesan wings. I thought they would be wet, but it was more of a dry rub. Overall, this is a great place to eat. Had a strawberry margarita and the bartender made a tasty drink“
“Every time I come in, I am always greeted with the biggest smile from Megan and Kayla. I never know what to order, and they are always very informative and helpful on the items they offer. I always order what they tell/recommend to me and it is beyond delicious. I look forward to seeing them when I come back , and trying something new. Their energy is always so welcoming , and I have never had an issue with them. These ladies are the best!“
“I have only been a few times while visiting a friend, never disappointed. Delicious bruschetta, amazing bread, pizza, chicken parm, caesar salad..it was all excellent. Will definitely stop by again for dinner on my next visit. You should too!“
“We’ve been going to Ralph’s for years! my dad goes atleast once a week. They have great food- the pizza and wings is best in town! its a smaller place so make sure to make reservations if you’re going at peak hours. OH and they don’t have high chairs so make sure you bring your own or put baby in “
“This is a restaurant like on your next door, cozy and friendly warm atmosphere you can feel at ease. The server was really nice and friendly, and the portions of food is so big! One meal is like for two people. The reason for 4 stars is because the pastas we had a little blant and less sauces. We needed to use salt.“
“Totally nostalgic. The 4 kids initially resisted the family-style approach, but they were defenseless once they tasted the food! The eclectic collection of decor was also very helpful in keeping everyone entertained and amused ? And the dessert was colossal!“
“This people is wonderful ❤️ family restaurants ❤️ the service very good, food delicious ?Parking: If the place is bigger they have a bigger parking placeKid-friendliness: Safe restaurant for kid because the atmosphere is very goodWheelchair accessibility: They need a little big door .“
“We literally JUST received a delivery from Gusto's for the 1st time & I am EXCEPTIONALLY happy with the entire experience! My son and I absolutely LOVED their pepperoni pizza. (BTW- he's 6 & extremely hard to please LOL). AND the delivery came 20 mins before the time I was given! Plus their prices are fair, the food is great, their team is very friendly and the delivery time is super fast. What more could you ask for when you're craving pizza?!?! They will DEFINITELY be hearing from us again!“
“Pizza was real good.Wings were also good.I typically go to another pizza place in glenmont. They couldn’t fill my order until 2 hours from order placement. (Friday night)Went here instead, pleasantly surprised. Will certainly be coming back!“
