Mahogany Grill . - Ithaca

I stumbled across this place while trying to find an Italian restaurant. We had called ahead to inquire about a reservation and was told that nothing was available until late but that the outdoor patio was fcfs. When we showed up the patio was full but they had tables available inside. A little confusing based on what we were previously told but good news regardless. The majority of the inside was empty so we got a nice big booth. We started with an order of calamari and a couple salads. The calamari was nicely breaded and crispy, complete with fried cherry peppers and a tasty marinara sauce. For dinner I had the penne alla vodka with shrimp and my gf got the chicken parm. The penne alla vodka was in my top 2, if not the best I've ever had. The shrimp was fresh and well cooked and the pasta to sauce ratio was perfect. The service was also exceptional. The whole restaurant industry is suffering from a shortage of workers right now but you would never know it here. The staff was very attentive and I haven't had service like this since covid began. My water glass was never even close to being empty and the food came out quick. Don't miss this hidden gem if you are in Ithaca.

We were in town for the weekend and heard good things about this place. The cocktails were just meh. The Garlic Cheesy Bread was a really good appetizer to start with. The beef short rib was really good but the shrimp scampi didn?t live up to the hype. The Bolognese was a good choice that our waiter Sophia recommended. Service here was very good and quick.

Loved loved loved! Me and my boyfriend came for the weekend and after a day of waterfall hiking we were famished. Came here and it didn?t disappoint! Server was excellent! Very good at describing food and flavor! We got the short ribs and the salmon meal and split them! I can?t pick which one I liked better it was that good! Would recommend to anyone! It had outdoor seating ! It had take out eat in! The older building was beautiful! Had a lot of character! We sat by the window loved watching the hustle and bustle of the area!

Fantastic gnocchi made in the house. Fries were crispy, salty and hot. simply perfect! The outdoor seats are beautiful on a day with good weather. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was ready quickly.

We had the best food all week. Steak was juicy and danced as I asked. Scallops were well made and freshly costed. Potatoes were delicious. And the dessert was good.
