Brunch was great. They have all your classic breakfast selections, such as bacon, sausage, eggs, and more. They also had freshly cooked crepes available. The lunch selection was wonderful. From a salad and soup bar to pasta, shrimp, roast beef and so on! Their dessert were fresh with a wide variety
Banfi is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Ithaca! Every meal I’ve ever had here has been nothing short of excellent and you’d be missing out by not taking advantage of this hidden gem while in Ithaca!

One of the reasons I stay at the Statler Hotel at Cornell University is because I love the food at this restaurant, and the customer service is great- students are actually been trained to run restaurants and hotels and guess what, while been watched by a preceptor and possibly graded. So you can be

Superb atmosphere and service, one of the best restaurants in Ithaca. Gorgeous view of the campus from the window seats(which you may need to reserve in advance). I’ve been here several times for brunch and dinner with friends and we all love it. I highly recommend brunch buffet here as you have va
The only place that served a perfectly seasoned cooked to my liking steak in ithaca. Grilled octopus was a little chewy. The pan seared duck was perfectly rendered and tasted great. Service was very professional.
The food here seems to be prepared with extreme care, using the best ingredients available. Even a regular steak tastes delicate and exceptional here.
The ice cream is possibly the best in the world! Don’t dismiss any dish because it sounds ordinary. Try it for a pleasant surprise!
Great food, great drinks! The service was also fantastic. They also have gluten free options. I definitely recommend this place.

This is the first time my wife and I went to this restaurant...... It's up on the hill near Cornell University, and we were worried about parking, but they have valet parking for free!

Great experience. The food was perfectly prepared. Really delicious. Wait staff was gracious and friendly. We had a beautiful view of campus from our table. Couldn't ask for more.

Had breakfast buffet with lots of selection. Pretty standard fare plus things like smoked salmon, fresh made pancakes and crepes. Quality was good. Highly recommend the crepes. Had views of the clock tower, which was nice. Decor and cutlery was pretty classy but not too stuffy. Staff were kind and a
Delicious food & good service. I got the mushroom ravioli, which was delicious. The outside part of the ravioli was slightly undercooked. But other than that I had a good experience.
Amazing experience at Taverna Banfi. Reserve a table in advance when you go. I had the Statler Chicken and the salmon. Both of them were amazing, cooked to perfection. The presentation and detailing were immaculate, as expected from a restaurant with such a reputation. The staff was extremely polite
