Gilda's

Went here for dinner last night. It was already pretty crowded, but we did get seats at the bar without waiting. Good service, friendly staff. We shared fennel salad and arancini which were delicious! Also shared a pizza, and tiramaso for dessert. They were also very tasty! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.

We went for a midweek dinner, and viola, it was "Wine Wednesday" where all bottles are 1/2 price. Yippee. Small venue in the Skaneateles village, no rezzies unless a party of 6 or more. Cool vibe, many small plates, great servers and service. It will not be our last visit. We split starters of shrimp cakes and fried cauliflower and then shared a delicious 4 cheese pizza, but needed 2 takeout boxes. The cauliflower was 2x the size I was expecting, but not at all heavy. I felt that I was losing weight as I ate it. Shrimp cakes were delish, and the pizza was perfect, thin crust artisan style. We went early, it fills up quickly so you need to consider that.

This little restaurant is a gem! The food is fantastic. I absolutely loved the moody atmosphere with the dark lighting and candlelit tables! Right across from the lake and so cute. The food was amazing!! We ordered three pizzas (one accidentally because we didn't realize it had meat on it, our fault) and glazed carrots! Everything was incredible! The desert chocolate cup with whipped cream was one of the best desserts I've ever had. This is a definite place to try in Skaneateles! Our server was sweet and attentive as well.

I tried the beet and burrata salad, shrimp cakes, and peppadew pie pizza at this restaurant and I enjoyed them all. The shrimp cakes, in particular, were awesome; I could easily eat ten of them. The restaurant's vibe was also enjoyable. Due to the small space, the tables are also small and the space between them is narrow. There isn't a specific parking area for the restaurant, but you can easily find parking nearby. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely come back again.

My husband and I visit Skaneateles frequently and Gilda’s has become our favorite dinner out. The food is outstanding - I swear the French fries are the best I’ve ever had. The staff are always kind and gracious. We had an experience with a food delay once and Heather took such good care of us and was so attentive to our needs and extremely apologetic. We will be visiting Gilda’s for years to come.

We popped into Gilda’s on a snowy January night. We were waiting for a table at another spot, but the food, drinks and hospitality at Gilda’s we’re so impressive that we wished we’d stayed for a full dinner. We’ll definitely be back again. The space was glowing, warm and cozy with clean, simple design. The service was welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed a few beers, prosecco and probably the best spiced winter sangria we’ve ever had. The calamari and arancini appetizers were beyond delicious and the tomato sauce made you want more and more. The smells of the freshly baked pizza on the other tables made us sure we’d have to return for a full meal very soon.
