Brunch was great. They have all your classic breakfast selections, such as bacon, sausage, eggs, and more. They also had freshly cooked crepes available. The lunch selection was wonderful. From a salad and soup bar to pasta, shrimp, roast beef and so on! Their dessert were fresh with a wide variety to select from.

Banfi is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Ithaca! Every meal I’ve ever had here has been nothing short of excellent and you’d be missing out by not taking advantage of this hidden gem while in Ithaca!

One of the reasons I stay at the Statler Hotel at Cornell University is because I love the food at this restaurant, and the customer service is great- students are actually been trained to run restaurants and hotels and guess what, while been watched by a preceptor and possibly graded. So you can be rest assured service will be great

The restaurant is on second floor of cornell statler hotel, on cornell ithaca campus. It’s very convenient if you are staying on statler hotel. All the servers are cornell students. The food was amazing. My favorite dish was grilled octopus and duck breast. We had a great time, definitely will be back again.

Good food and local wine selection, the pan seared duck breast was over cooked, the student server did a nice job. The manager was chewing gum while he was talking to us to apologize for the delay of food serving, in our opinion this is not professional!

The food here seems to be prepared with extreme care, using the best ingredients available. Even a regular steak tastes delicate and exceptional here.

The only place that served a perfectly seasoned cooked to my liking steak in ithaca. Grilled octopus was a little chewy. The pan seared duck was perfectly rendered and tasted great. Service was very professional.

Superb atmosphere and service, one of the best restaurants in Ithaca. Gorgeous view of the campus from the window seats(which you may need to reserve in advance). I’ve been here several times for brunch and dinner with friends and we all love it. I highly recommend brunch buffet here as you have various options to choose from, perfect for meat lovers and vegetarians. I especially like the dessert here such as brûlée and mousse as they are very delicious and not too sweet. For the diner, it’s also great but as the dinner menu does not often change, I have not been able to find something new after a few visits.

This is the first time my wife and I went to this restaurant…… It’s up on the hill near Cornell University, and we were worried about parking, but they have valet parking for free! We, of course, tipped after our meal on our way out, we can it’ll come up, which, by the way, was a fantastic and great view for brunch, definitely recommended, service was top notch.
