   This time around, the buffet offerings seemed a bit "tired" and not as appealing... Desserts were amazing though!

   You will find more absolutely delicious things to eat than you will have room for making a return trip urgently necessary.

   Good lunch option on the central Cornell campus. The buffet has a wide variety of things available and is overall a good value for the price, especially considering the a la carte menu.

   This is our second visit to the restaurant. The food has been fantastic both times, and the service outstanding. Get a seat by the window to look at the campus, it's just beautiful.

   Hi Amy, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that both your visits were fantastic and that the service stood out. We completely agree—the window view of campus is a special part of the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for visit number three! Felicia Barrett General Manager of Taverna Banfi

    Great food - you can tell they use fresh ingredients. I had the best shrimp scampi I ever had and the burrata was divine. Great value for the amount and quality of food. Service is always exceptional and ambience is perfect.
