Rex’s Pasta

I can only echo what others have said about the quality of the food – the pasta and sauces are excellent, and the service is very good. My only nit-​pick is that it’s really not an ideal sit-​down kind of place; the space is mostly bar, and if you’re there earlier on a Friday night you’re in the midst of Happy Hour, and it is very loud. If you don’t mind that, you can’t go wrong with the food.

First time the outside does not do justice to inside. Service person on point explain the menu great job. We ordered pasta and burger from reading other reviews very pleased. Order half portion s more than enough. These service person was great! We shared dessert another winner, we will be back.

They have great hot pasta! Big portions for a fair price!
The burgers are really good and they serve Cortland beer which is some of the best micro brew around!

My first experience with Rex’s was a catered work event. The food was so FRESH and flavorful. My husband and I decided we needed to check it out for date night… NOT disappointed. First, we got the fried calamari as an appetizer. Yum! I got crispy ravioli, rich but delicious. They offer local beer from the Cortland brewery and the seasonal pumpkin beers were presented in glasses rimmed with cinnamon, spices, and sugar! My husband got the chicken parmesan sandwich, it was a generous portion and also very tasty!
But what sends Rex’s into the 5 star realm was the customer service. The waitress was so great: accommodating, attentive, and funny. Then we hung out with Rex AND his wife. They made us feel like we’d been friends for decades even though it was the first time we’d ever met. Rex’s is now our absolute FAVORITE spot in Cortland and we can’t wait to go back!

Love the décor. The food we had was really good. Steak was done as ordered and the rigatoni and sausage was good. We tried to go there again but found out they close at 8pm. Would of given it 5 stars but they close too early. Wished they stayed open later at least on Friday and Saturday nights. We will try to get there again.

Went to Rex’s last night for dinner after hearing nothing but good things. We had a reservation (recommended by friends) and sat right down. It was a little loud with a party going on at the bar, but that seemed to be a little unusual. The service was fantastic and we really loved the food but it could have used a little salt… Not a big deal when you can add some yourself. I didn’t love their marina but I like it a little chunkier. The bread was delish and everything else was awesome. Someone at our table had the blue cheese burger and loved it. The place is hip and reasonably priced for the size of the portions, which is pretty large. Overall, a great addition to the Cortland scene. We’ll be back!

First time here tonight, and can’t wait to go back! Hostess took our drink order because they were busy. When the server came over she immediately noticed I had the wrong wine and replaced it. Even though I told her it wasn’t necessary. The fried ravioli were very good, spicy and golden delicious. Salad was good too. Homemade balsamic dressing with a mild crumbly blue. For main entrees we got spaghetti and meatballs and chicken broccoli Alfredo both half size portions and we took full boxes home. Great size portions, great service and great food!

We had heard about this place but kept forgetting about it. Well today we got our hair cut next door and had time to look over their menu and knew we had to go there for lunch.
And I’m glad we did, hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in the Ithaca /​Cortland area.
Their meatballs are outrageous, and escargot in Cortland? Seriously fantastic stuff.
We will 100% be back again.
