Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Cortland, NY

Rebecca Quilty We were greeted immediately with friendly service. Everything was super delicious from the bread, to the salad - I know, salad, but all the ingredients were super fresh and the dressing was delicious and they’re not stingy with it - to the pasta and sauce. I had the Alfredo which was so creamy and buttery and my husband had the ravioli and meatballs with a mixture of their regular and their spicy sauce. Chef’s kiss. Highly recommend.

Valorous Owl They always deliver fast no matter what kind of insane calzone Im craving. The food is always good.

Chef Ruth NYC We had such a wonderful dining experience at Mangia! The food was absolutely delicious and authentically prepared. We ordered the Gnocchi Sorrentina and the Tortellini Boscaiola, and both dishes were outstanding, full of flavor and made to perfection. Our server Dayna provided exceptional service. She was highly professional, attentive to every detail and offered thoughtful recommendations that truly enhanced our experience. Her polished service made the evening seamless and enjoyable. We look forward to returning to Mangia and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking authentic cuisine paired with exceptional service.

Cassandra Green Crisol is so good it honestly deserves more hype! The Rasta Pasta is unreal… super creamy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. It’s one of those dishes you start thinking about again the next day. And the chicken cutlet? Wow. Crispy, juicy, seasoned just right — literally comfort food done right. The portions are great, the vibe is chill, and everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Esteban Amazing Experience, food was top quality, staff was very polite, humble and helpful. Highly recommend eating at this establishment. New meals and combinations everyday!!

Theresa St. John Went here last night and was very pleased with my meal. I had a side Greek salad, homemade mozzarella sticks, and their specialty pork chop. Theres also a photo here of their chicken Kabobs (came to the bar at the same time for another patron) and I enjoyed a blood orange margarita. YUMMMMM. I asked to see two of their bourbon bottles - the restaurant has a strong following of bourbon lovers. Staff was super friendly, Frank was an amazing bartender who made me feel very welcome. The bar area got busy quickly and he handled everyone without missing a beat. Would go again, for sure!

Aaron Great place!! We had the (cordon) blue balls, fried pickles and wings to start, delicious!! They had a speedy chicken club sandwich special that was amazing they really know how to cook chicken. Service was fast and friendly. Really impressed since there isnt much of anything else in the area. Definitely will be returning when Im back in town.

Nicholas DeLessio Pros: the pizza is very good, particularly for the area, and the prices seem fair. Cons: Very limited menu compared to most pizzerias (literally just pizza, wings, salads and a couple sides) and I wasnt crazy about their garlic knots (last time I went they tasted to me like they used jarred garlic.) If youre looking to get good pizza, Id say to give this place a try. If youre looking for anything much more than pizza or wings, you might have to try another place.

Dan Bellardini I cant say enough about the Green Arch! My family have been regulars at this restaurant over the years and there are many reasons as to why. EXCELLENT food (I had the pork chops - their signature dish - AMAZING!), Great atmosphere (theyve kept and maintained the look/feel of the restaurant since it began in the 1930s) and EXCEPTIONAL wait staff. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food provided and Matt, Paul and his staff are friendly and accommodating. Oh...and dont forget to have one of their bourbon old fashions...a cocktail they have mastered and have been making for as long as I can remember! When visiting the area, we always look forward to dining at the Green Arch and will continue to do so in the future. Bon appetite!

Daisuke Kobayashi Pita Gourmet was a very pleasant surprise for Cortland. The menu and the dishes themselves feel thoughtfully put together and true to the spirit of Middle Eastern cuisine, with flavors that taste fresh, balanced, and carefully prepared rather than generic. There’s a great range of options: pita wraps and other easy-to-eat items that work perfectly for takeout, as well as full plated dishes that feel right for a proper sit-down meal. It makes the place useful for almost any occasion, from a quick bite to a more relaxed dinner. Preparation was quick, the staff were friendly, and the overall experience left a strong impression. If I find myself in Cortland again, I’ll definitely be stopping here.

Chris Gordon Uncooked fries and incorrect order. Not a good experience for $15+. Try another place. Stay away.

Stacie Church The service was great ! I had the chicken tenders with fries and coleslaw slaw all of which were good ! My biggest compliment was not enough dipping sauce ! And fries could have been a little bit more crispy! All in all was a great meal , my husband didnt complain about his burger either !

Darryl Widrick This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is amazing. Nice original dishes full of flavor and made fresh. The waiter Hayden, is very attentive, well spoken and polite. My favorite dish is the Jjamppong! It has some nice spice with great flavor and is a great size for dinner. I have tried many of their dishes and they have all been great. I have not had a bad experience here in any way!

FLEDGE 444 I went there tonight with my wife for the 1st time. Atmosphere was chill, the food was really good including the portions, our waitress was amazing, the staff is really friendly, and the prices are more than reasonable. Ill be back thats for sure, & I definitely recommend.
