"I enjoyed my first visit on Mother's Day. My wife was given a free paisley plant and the prices were excellent! The manicotti was a huge success and I loved the Chicken Pizzaoili. Tons of mushrooms and the service was extremely fast!"

"I enjoy Little Venice for it's classic Italian feel. The wine list is expansive, and the dishes cover the great points of Italian cooking. I would have liked slightly more courteous service, but it didn't affect the evening. They also have wonderful Gelato."

"We discovered this place while visiting Binghamton for the first time. What a great find! As soon as we walked in I knew this was the "real deal" for Italian dining. And we were not disappointed with the food or the service. I was the sole wine lover in our group and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality for the price of my choice. The tweener in our group had two pieces of the excellent lemon meringue pie for dessert (!). I am seriously considering going back to Binghamton just to dine at this restaurant. I am dreaming about that red sauce as I write this.....
We're from Philly, so we know our Italian restaurants, and this one could easily be in "souphilly"!"

"Food arrived barely warm. One dish was overcooked and dried out. Have been going to LV for over 40 years, but the last 2 visits were horrible. Service was slow and not attentive at all. Called the next day to alert them of our experience and they could care less."
