My family and I have been coming here for years whenever we are in town visiting. It's a spot that we always love coming too and enjoying lunch or dinner. Service is always wonderful and friendly. Food comes out in a good time. Food has always been delicious when we've gone. Today was my first time trying the cannoli and to my surprise the shell was nice and crisp a nice crunch. I was worried that it was going to be soft and stale. The cannoli was fully filled. I'm not too sure if they made them there or get it from a local bakery. I'm actually meant to ask but forgot. From pizza, pasta, sandwiches, calzones, wings just about everything is always fabulous.
Service was prompt and consistent. Food was so great, and the atmosphere reminded me of authentic italian resturaunts from NJ. There is a bar side and family side. Street parking, but it doesnt seem very busy in surround areas.
We started with a slice of pepperoni pizza that was good. I had the the fat cat veal sub that was very good. I have to say the fresh cooked roll made the sub great. I had the fresh cut fries for a side and they were soggy otherwise they would of got five stars. My wife had the steak special that she enjoyed that she liked and said the roll was good to. Place was clean and staff was Friendly.
Food good but prices very expensive. Will come back due to quality of food but for 2 subs, 1 order of mushrooms and 1 medium pizza shouldn't equal $70. Would come back but it wouldn't be on a regular basis.
This is our go to for a nice family night out, pizza take out or a low key date night. Truly a staple in our family.
This place has been making consistently good pizza for decades. No tricks, no bells and whistles, just trustworthy and consistently good Americanized Italian food and excellent pizza. Everyone I know loves and trusts the quality here.
Had not been in here for several years and was very pleasantly surprised with the experience I had. Their food has always been good, but service wasn't usually good ever. Not only have they done a lot to spruce things up inside, but the menu has been expanded to include a lot of main dishes now too. The service was remarkable, and portion sizes are now quite generous. I've told several people about my experience here and have been met with stories from others about how good OIP is these days. It's worth a visit!
Hubby got the veal parmesan with spaghetti add on and I got the chicken française. Our dinners came with a salad, homemade bread and dessert (either cookie or cannoli). Our meals were delicious! And our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. They are clear on the menu that prices are for cash payment and 4% is added for credit payments. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.
My average expectations for service, speed, friendliness and cleanliness of bathroom were met . My above average expectations for taste of food were met as well.
Wonderful group of servers. Kind, helpful, and friendly. I mistakenly left a $10 bill on the counter. The very "honest" staff recognized I most likely had dropped it. Also, the server willingly carried my sheet pizza to my car. He was very helpful. Great staff working at Owego Original.
