Vasilio Restaurant & Pizzaria

This place has the best food in Cortland! The greens are great! They have the best deep dish pizza I have ever tasted. Wonderful pasta dishes– especially the veal. Really can’t go wrong at this place.

This is my favorite Restaurant in Cortland. I went here several times when I lived in Warren and now that I moved to Cortland this will be my go to place. Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken is my favorite. I love the sauce. And everyone is very friendly.

Vasilio Restaurant is a local small town restaurant. Though we’ve driven by the restaurant many times, we’ve only recently visited there for the first time after a visit to Mosquito Lake. The best part of the visit was the small town atmosphere and friendly service. I ordered the recommended Cavatelli Vasibello with shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, and Alfredo sauce. The dish was ok, but the sauce was not to my liking. Even so, the dish was eatable and there were many other selections that I would come back to try including their spaghetti sauce and pizzas, which were also recommended. All in all, a small town local restaurant that’s been here for 31 years so they must be doing something right, so you just have to find what you like.

Poor service. Bad quality food. Seems to be just re heated sunrise pizza that sat out all day.

Best Greek pizza and Romano pizza you’ll ever have. Great wedding soup and dinners! Highly recommended for amazing food!

Delicious pizza and staff is extremely friendly with customers! Family owned and operated. We love the deep dish pizza and the garlic pizza. Don’t come to town often but we always stop here when we do.

Was staying in the area for 3 weeks and wish I would have discovered this place sooner! Yeah it’s 3 stars… but it’s better than anything else around here. We came here every day during our last week for lunch and had a wide variety of things.
Not a fan of the pizza, and unfortunately one of the desserts we tried had mold on it when it came out. But other than that you’re looking at an above average diner and local Italian place. Worth going to.

Never had a bad meal here! Always friendly and welcoming! Try the chicken parm, it’s fantastic!

Really like the food here. They have a really good Salmon over greens. Price for what you get is great too.
Service is hit miss. Some nights it is good, other nights bring some extra patients.
Would rate 4.5 if not for service.

By far the best pasta and pizza in the area. They are a family owned business (you’ll often see the owner, his wife, and kids manning the register and slingin’ pies). My go-​to dish here is the large spaghetti. The sauce is absolutely addicting.
If I don’t get the pasta I generally go for a large cheese pizza. You really can’t go wrong with Vasilio’s.

Always enjoy the food here. Staff are friendly and prices are excellent. Wide variety on the menu and I’ve never been disappointed.

WELL! I have eaten here on Fridays with a friend because they have a really good Fish dinner. Their pasta is also really good, with a tasty sauce and really tender yummy meatballs. Their Greens are awesome. Just the right amount of garlic and cooked so that they are nice and tender. The problem is that they somehow think that Greens are an expensive food because they charge «WAY TOO MUCH» for theirs. An order is $ 8.00. So when they put a new dish on their menu, «Greek Pasta», which boasted greens, tomatoes, Kalamato Olives, and feta, I tried it and loved the dish. Not only was it a huge portion, it was delicious. When it arrived at the table, it was piping hot and loaded with lots of goodies. Needless to say, this became a favorite of mine. This Friday however, torn between their all you can eat fish, which I never get any extra, and the pasta, I chose the Greek Pasta and was seriously disappointed. The plate arrived and instead of the platter it was usually served on, it was a bowl. There were Kalamato Olives in there and a few pieces of tomato, but it looked as if they dragged one cooked leaf of their greens through the bowl and what pieces fell off were in my dish, and it was not hot. One of the table boys came by and I expressed my disappointment. He went to talk to the cook and came back to tell me that I must have gotten a dish with a few more greens in it the last time as the cook said it isn’t really supposed to have greens in it, there is just supposed to be a little bit for «TEXTURE». Then my waitress came over and I told her the problem and she took the dish back. When it was returned, it has lots of vegetables in it, but it was far from warm at this point. Being starved by this time, I though «OH WELL» I just can’t wait any longer, so I dug in. It tasted fine, but I paid for not having the fish by getting deathly ill about an hour later, and I am still not feeling well and it is my Saturday off of work. SO, usually I give a place a break, but this disaster follows a trip their with my grandchildren and son in which the waitress was a mess, service was worse than poor, and it took an hour and a half for pizza, and the waitress still served my food way before everyone else’s came even after I requested that it be served at the same time. Her statement was «I told them to hold it but OH WELL, here it is. I am not sure if I will go back even though they have terrific Pizza. :(
If you want good Pizza, theirs is good. They always have some available so you can pick up a slice or two, and will heat it there or you can do it at home.

Vasilio’s is good, but definitely better to eat at home than inside. The pizza is much like Sunrise’s, but that could be because of a recipe/​cook similarity, but I have no idea. Anyways, not my favorite place to go, but it’s definitely good if you want some Sunrise-​like pizza and it’s closer to get Vasilio’s.
