Andriaccio’s

slow service. waited ½ hour never saw the waitress again left a dime

a solid Italian restaurant with solid Italian food! waitress and staff were nice. the service was good and my party and I received our food in a decent amount of time.

We eat here all the time.
Pizza is very good.
Everything else can be good or… blah.
I really think it depends on whether the owners are there.
Consistency is everything.
In addition to pizza and wings I routinely get a steak sub.
Usually it’s fresh steak grilled as per the menu.
But sometimes it’s «steak ums» and a really nasty version of that.
Frankly, I am tired of not knowing what I am going to get and won’t be back for a while.

It’s nothing fancy, but the food is good. The Chicago style pizza was outstanding

Andriaccio’s is a MUST stop, eat, & enjoy restaurant! Andriaccio’s is a family owned & managed restaurant & is an absolute delight! We had the best experience with food, service, & hospitality! The absolute best restaurant in the area! My boyfriend & I were visiting from California & had the most amazing experience here! The Italian food is fresh, hot, flavorful, & delicious! I’m already craving it. We had the greens Neapolitan appetizer which was a veggie greens & cheese mixture of tastefulness, & came out steaming hot with fresh sourdough bread to spread upon. I had the seafood carbonara that had peas, succulent scallops, & shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce. This was divine & had a very homemade taste to it. I could taste the love that the owner/​chef put into it. My boyfriend had the very tender, juicy veal Marsala with a wine mushroom reduction sauce & polenta with fresh Parmesan. Delicious!!! Joe, the wine connoisseur, came over & personally paired our meal with a delicious Italian Montepulciano red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy. This couldn’t have been a better pair. The wine was bold in the beginning with a refreshingly soft ending, still with 13% alcohol. Delicious! The food, service, & hospitality here is bar none & is definitely one for the books. The owner/​chef Nick & his wife Sally even made rounds to see how the food & experience was all around the restaurant. You can’t beat the food, service, & hospitality here! It’s the best experience my boyfriend & I have ever had at any restaurant & we look forward to eating here again in the future!

A popular restaurant across from Chautauqua Institution, offers a menu of pizzas and Italian entrees. Some specials have missed the mark — like the prime rib sandwich which was very dry. Sticking with the classics will not disappoint like the lasagna. Nice selection of wines. Service is friendly.

We had marginally fair service. We felt as if we were treated differently because our party of four wasn’t the typical blue haired crowd seems to prevail. One member of our party had a salad coming with their dinner. It never arrived until just before the main entrée was served. And even at that, we had to ask to have it brought out.
I wanted to have the fish fry but I was unable to substitute steamed broccoli for the slurry fries that they serve without an up charge of a 1.50. That is silly.
Two members of our party did order the fish fry which was served with industrial commercial coleslaw. The fish and fries arrived burned. An order of pizza logs was also ordered which were reported to be homemade however they oozed grease in the first bite. We left them uneaten.
Why not ask for management? Hell we could not ask our server she was never around.
I wasted $ 50. here.

This place attracts a crowd solely because it is within walking distance of the North Gate of the Chautauqua Institute. PLEASE KEEP WALKING, unless you enjoy marginal, faux Italian cuisine and indifferent service (read: slow and uncaring). For the same or less money you could go to Scallions in Lakeview or Watermark, or, for a splurge, Le Fleur.
Eat here only if you are tired and desparate…

Everything my daughter tasted she found delightful. Solid Italian food at a good price. And way better than most other restaurants in the area. And also very friendly waitstaff. Also the desserts were magical very nice.

The power went out while Dining here this weekend, apparently it had been happening all day. They were running on a backup generator and in my opinion did a splendid job under the additional stress. I had a seafood pasta dish, although the seafood bits were small the dish was tasty. I think the normal bread they serve is good, but due to the outage, our second round of bread was toasted.

Tried this place twice and this review is for both. Had a large group for dinner in the restaurant– service was great but the food was below par. We ordered their last two pieces of prime rib-​i asked for an end cut, which they said it was– but I’ve had my share of end cuts to know that two cut sides dont make an end –dry and chewy as well. Chicken piccata was also dry and husband’s spaghetti sauce tasted worse than Prego. Drink specials were light on the liquor but still refreshing. The second night we decided to have pizza delivered from them. Took 45 minutes which isnt bad but pizza itself was doughy and bland. Veggie pizza was ok, and the buffalo chicken pizza tasted like they took a chicken salad, tossed it with thousand island dressing and spread it on wonderbread and baked it. Next time we’re ordering Dgoirno’s.

We come to Andriaccio’s every time we’re at the institution. I can honestly say whenever we get a pizza from here — everyone violently shits themselves. The pizza is so good though, that nobody cares what the consequences are. Friday fish fry is huge and very, very good as well!

The Mediterranean Haddock was a perfect choice. It was perfectly done with an array of tomato and red onion atop. The
mixed summer squash was nicely done as well. Relaxed atmosphere with outside dining.

Great ambiance and spectacular food. Pizza needs work but for great Italian food in our area it is in the top tier. Calamari to die for and homemade sausage is out of this world.

Fabulous pizza and warm, wonderful staff. We’ve been a few times and have always had a great experience, but our last visit was the most telling. We’d walked there from nearby and the weather appeared lovely. But while dining, a torrential thunderstorm developed. Rather than have us stranded on foot in the pouring rain and fierce lightning, the host offered to drive us back. Service doesn’t get any better than that. Thank you, Andriaccio’s!

We were very impressed with our meal. We ordered the medium Neapolitan pizza and a Greek salad. It was enough food for two adults and a child with some leftover! The food was excellent. It was evident they used olive oil to make their pizza and it tasted like I was eating something healthy as opposed to most pizza at other places that makes me feel disgusting from all the grease.
It was clean in both the dining area and the bathroom. The waitress was both pleasant and prompt to assist us. The restaurant had a good family dining atmosphere and the prices weren’t bad at all. Our bill was only $ 30.
I definitely recommend you stop by!

Great atmosphere and wonderful waitress! We decided to have pizza but oh what a pizza. We tried the Neapolitan pizza and shared the Greek salad.
The salad was huge, more than enough for two. Loaded with goodies, dressing was slightly bland.
The pizza dough was phenomenal, and cooked with olive oil. So, so good! Loaded but not over loaded, I look forward to trying the others.

This is the closest Italian restaurant to Chautauqua Institution so there is a somewhat captive audience in the summertime. I was there for an early dinner in mid-​October and there was a respectable turn-​out on a Friday evening and by the time I left, someone was waiting for my parking space.
I know a lot of people go there for pizza and I had heard some unflattering comments about it, so I ordered the lasagna. It came with a skimpy, somewhat tired-​looking salad and nice warm bread. I’ve had better lasagna. This example was generously layered with meat and cheese, but the flavor was quite bland and the sauce rather runny. However, I was a big fan of my dessert: I ordered the Tortoni and expected a little round ramekin of vanilla ice cream with crumbled toasted almond on top, but what I got was quite special…
The tortoni itself was a firm frozen custard with small chunks of almond mixed in and it was served on a dinner plate surrounded by rectangular pieces of fried dough sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with strawberry sauce. The fried dough was thin and flaky and not at all heavy like a zeppoli can sometimes be. I could not finish it, but I loved the blend of flavors and the presentation. My waitress was very friendly but was a little overwhelmed by a large party a the adjacent table and I was a little surprised when none of the other staff broke away from their private conversations to assist her. The price was reasonable, the décor pleasant and I wonder what other dessert treats I should try next time.

Average Pizza, and Average Wings.
I have had their food a few different times, and it seems as if this establishment suffers from consistency issues. One time when we ordered the large sheet style pizza, I was very happy and impressed with the sauce, cheese and crust. Recently ordering a smaller size, traditional pie, I was not impressed with the flavor of the sauce, or the ingredients, they just tasted off to me.
The wings are pretty good and meaty, with a wide range of sauces and flavors.
I would not write home about this pizza, but in a pinch, it is pretty good, and again not over priced for the area. I’ve never actually eaten inside the restaurant, so I can only speak for the take out.

Really not impressed. The pizza dough is not that great. Having made fresh pizza dough before it seems like this isn’t fresh, hand tossed. It seems to be the frozen kind but I have a friend who insists they make it fresh. Ordered a steak and cheese sub and it seemed like scrap sirloin steak, loaded with fat and tendon, was pink and red in different spots. The chicken wings were not crispy, really big but loaded with fat and not good. Sad, such a good location.
