What a gem in Onteonta. So fresh and delicious with a local vibe. I had the Mrs. Eggplant and my husband had the Onteonta Reuben and both were large enough portions that we also had leftovers for dinner. Sandwiches are made on daily fresh homemade bread and what a difference. Fun atmosphere, clean, friendly, easy parking, reasonably priced.

This place is a gem! the garlic eggplant pizza is absolutely delicious (and thats coming from a pizza snob from NYC)! The sauce is flavorful, the crust is perfection! This is a family owned business open for over 20 years, the children of the original owner now run the place, so its a delicious way to support local businesses!

The salads here are my go-to lunch option! I usually order the grilled chicken (no bacon), and the portions are huge—I can easily save half for dinner. Everything is always fresh and flavorful. Takeout is super easy, and we've never had an issue with our order. I'm excited to try their sandwiches and pizza next—they look amazing! They also have a small wine shop behind the restaurant I've been meaning to check out - so cute! Update: Finally tried one of their sandwiches and it did not disappoint! I had the Shepherds Ave, and the pasta salad that comes with it was fantastic (and I’m not even a big pasta salad person). Definitely recommend!

The pizza was very good and cooked well. You order at the counter and food is brought to you. Excellent service somewhat of a no frills inside.

While in town to go to Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown(March 1,2025), tried this little hidden gem from recommendation from hotel staff at Hampton Inn. What a wonderful place. Food was amazing and service was just as good as the food. Alot if meat that was not dry and the homemade bread is fantastic. Owners daughter took time out to talk with us and gave us a loaf of bread to take back home with us. Would definitely recommend this place and definitely will being stopping here if ever in Oneonta again.

Great place to eat. Comfortable booths, friendly and great staff, good selection of food. Got food quickly, it was warm (as intended) and delicious.
