Review Gilda's - Skaneateles

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. Food 5 of 5 Service 5 of 5 Vibe 5 of 5 Try it!!

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed the outside seating and the attentive waitress very much. Pizza was excellent, the rest of the food items were artfully prepared, and the white wine sangria was really refreshing!

The service here was average. We ordered the cauliflower which was very good and the arancini which was also brilliant. Then we got a salad and it was nice. For pizza we ordered the Flambé and the special. They were both good but the crusts were a little too burnt. The wait was fine and it was an overall good experience. If we are ever in the area again, this place will definitely be considered.

The food here is off the hook. Absolutely phenomenal and tasty. The meatballs are amazing and the sauce they are in is great. Excellent sangria and you can tell they care about what they give you. No nonsense at this joint. Highly recommend. Only negative is it’s a small place.

We would eat ANYTHING on the menu here. As if the menu wasn't good enough, the daily specials are always amazing. Pete and Jessica are so friendly and informative. Our favorite restaurant in the area!

A must go to spot in skaneatles!! The meatballs, Caesar salad, cauliflower and pizza were exceptional! Cute small restaurant that is always popping! Ate everything so quickly forgot to take more pics!

Since we left Manhattan best restaurant experience! Thank you Nikki for your time and service ; )

Best pizza I have ever eaten! Totally amazing. All the other dishes that were served to other tables looked great. We will go back and try some of the small plates to go with our pizza. One of my favorite places ever!

Celebrated Syracuse commencement weekend in Skaneateles and had pizza and chopped salad for our group Saturday night. Everything was delicious- crispy crust pizzas were flavorful and generously topped.

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.

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.

By far the best pizza in the finger lakes region. This is real NY style pizza as it should be. Not an imposter

Food was so good!! the place is very cute and the service was great

This place is definitely worth trying I will drive back to Skaneateles to eat there again it’s not fancy it’s a bit small not expensive just really great food .!

Impressive, authentic and delicious food, an excellent wine list and overall chill, friendly vibe. We love eating here whenever we are in town visiting. Highly recommend.

I had a burger but it was the best I've had in awhile. Everyone seemed very happy with their choices

We love Gilda's. Such a unique selection of delicious food. I'm thankful it's also child friendly. We highly recommend this place.

We love it here! We've never had a bad meal and the service is always top notch! This is our favorite restaurant not only in Skaneateles but in the greater Syracuse area! Definitely worth the wait if there is one!

Love the style and atmosphere! Friendly service and the most amazing and tasteful small plates and pizzas!!! ���

Great veal meatballs, best marinara sauce ever had, Gilda's was on the lead end of the Brussels sprout invasion, excellent shrimp, and roasted cauliflower.

This is one of our go to restaurants. Nothing fancy just great food and company. Note no reservations unless you have 5 in your party.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. My new favorite restaurant in Skaneateles ♡

Fabulous sangrias and gourmet pizza!

Visited Gilda's last night and thoroughly enjoyed dinner! Six of us ate, including two kids and everyone loved every part of their meal. Their sauces, in particular, were AMAZING! The shrimp dish and clam dish were some of the best I've ever eaten, because the sauces made them out of this world good! Their my kids ate almost their entire pizza by themselves, it was so yummy! I will definitely be back!

We love it here! The pizza is hands down the best we've had. Pete is super friendly and the beer list is admirable! Definitely a Skaneatles gem.

Best meatballs ever! Plus the prices for the quality are great!

Been here many times and love everything about it. Food excellent, customer service excellent, great atmosphere, etc....

This is one of our "Go to places" always good, warm and friendly.

We loved it all! The service, food, atmosphere. We went for the first time and ordered Chicken Empanadas, Risotto Balls (Arancini) and a Margherita pizza. All was delicious!! We will definitely be returning soon. Thank you to Alison, for taking great care of us.

Ate here for the first time yesterday with friends. I had the margherita pizza and my wife got the brussel sprouts with mustard vinaigrette and the sampler of three toasts. The food was outstanding overall, well made. We would absolutely eat here again. It was one of the best margherita pizzas I've had. Be warned, it was garlic laden (I love garlic) but there's no mention of it in the menu. In fact if this was intentional, it should be called a garlic margherita pizza, yes that's how much they used, but I loved it. The brussel sprouts were amazing, the mustard vinaigrette really makes the dish. And finally the toasted breads were really good. Some constructive criticism: The only thing I could nit pick is the chefs might be in a hurry not balancing all the ingredients as perfectly as intended. Somebody in our party got a pizza with arugula on it, and there was an absurd amount of arugula, more than enough to make an entire salad with and still leave so much you couldn't see the pizza below it (they did the same thing with the arugula on one of our toasts). The same can be said about their use of garlic.

Delicious!! Had a really nice meal, and wonderful service!!!
