From Trip Advisor, June 2016 - "We were pleasantly surprised with the preparation of our different dishes. My thrill was the delectable flavor of the Tusacan Grilled Chicken Brushetta ...the grilled chicken was fork tender and cooked just right...the salsa topping of the tomatoe brushetta was such a delight. We all were very pleased with the sauteed shrimp, the chicken parm...the bottomless salad with the sweet Italian dressing, that was just the tastiest salad dressing we have had in awhile. The breadsticks were light and fluffy...Very nicely done. Loved all the old pictures on the walls. Found places I used to go with my aunt and uncle when in town. Thank you for the wonderful birthday day dinner . We will be back. Gave us the best seat in the house too. Thank you Janice !!! Janice attended to our every request even though she was busy she was quick to refill and to see if we needed anything more and quick to bring more salad and our meals. Lovely time with a smiling nice waitress and hostess makes a night a perfect TUSCAN DELIGHT"

From TripAdvisor, September 2015 - My wife and I were in town for our 30th wedding anniversary and wanted Italian. This was the only restaurant that had an menu that we felt offered that. I had the Seafood Diavlo and she had the Chicken Marsala, pasta il dente, both fantastic. The prices were more than reasonable and the service was friendly, prompt and attentive. How this place rates 100+ out of 200+ I have no clue. Puts the Ithaca Commons over priced restaurants to shame, they should take notes.
