Taverna BanfiEven though I am a collegeEven though I am a college student and lack the money to buy nice meals. I make sure to always save up in order to be able to go to Taverna Banfi at least once every other week. Their grilled salmon with steamed broccoli is to die for. I can't get enough of it.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDelightful, efficient service.Delightful, efficient service.

The food and the service are right on point :)4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMBreakfast Buffet offered quiteBreakfast Buffet offered quite afew options....fruit, yogurt, cereal, scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, mini muffins, etc. I thought $17 was alittle pricey though. Also, the Sunday brunch (which we couldn't get reservations for) started at 10 am. Our breakfast reservation was at 9:45. It got alittle chaotic since they were trying to set up the brunch buffet in the same area as the breakfast buffet!!!! Also a bit confusing as to what items went with which buffet!???4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was excellent andThe food was excellent and the view of the campus and the Cornell clock tower is gorgeous if you are sitting by the window, especially at sunset.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAn upscale dining experience.An upscale dining experience. Service was very good, from reception right through to the wait and serving staff. A slight snafu with salad coming with dressing when I asked for it on the side but it was immediately replaced with good humor, even when I was hesitant about sending it back. The meal was served hot and both our entrees were excellent. I've also had the Sunday brunch here a number of times and it's fantastic. Definitely a restaurant much better than you might expect in a hotel on a campus. Ithaca has many great restaurants and this one fits right in!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AM
