A beautiful place to have a beautiful meal with friends and family. I am so glad Taverna Banfi was my choice restaurant; delicious meal, quiet environment, amazing workers and i was surrounded by lovely people. The experience was great.

Being entirely honest, I wasn't expecting much, and as such, my view might be mildly biased. However, the octopus was quite good. Probably the best grilled octopus that I've had. The prosciutto appetizer was fantastic; the mozzarella and the prosciutto worked well off of each other, despite the relative difference in strength. For wines, we had the 2011 Schloss Lieser Riesling and the 2011 Sartori Amarone. The white definitely lives up to the Mosel region's reputation. It is almost startlingly sweet: enough that I almost would have paired it with the strip steak, just for the novelty. With that said, though, the Amarone was smooth and full bodied, and not tannic in the slightest, slightly fruiter than expected, and made a perfect, if more conventional pairing. Being an exceptionally obtuse human being, I failed to ask my acquaintances about their meals at any point during the meal, no doubt making an ass out of myself in the process, so I remain unaware of the quality of the zucchini noodles. However, the strip was well made (although they got it closer to rare than black and blue), the gorgonzola was the perfect consistency, and the potatoes were beautifully crisp. The atmosphere was also properly rustic, in the sense that you would expect from a themed restaurant. The wait staff was also fantastic. We had a wonderful waitress by the name of Gracie, who was just a pleasure. All told, the wine was fantastic, the food was generally quite good, albeit not perfect, and the atmosphere and service were both top notch. My only complaints are that the cocktails are somewhat subpar, but honestly, if you're trying the cocktails, you're missing out on the wine anyway; the list may seem small, but there are definitely some gems in there. I will be certain to visit again, if I'm ever in Ithaca.

Delicious food & good service. I got the mushroom ravioli, which was delicious. The outside part of the ravioli was slightly undercooked. But other than that I had a good experience.
