Green Arch Restaurant - Cortland (NY)

1 /5 TrollaholicRex: 4/10. Don’t go if you’re looking for good Italian. This place is what I call false comfort. You don’t go to Taco Bell because you want authentic Mexican food, you go because you want extremely Americanized “Mexican” loaded with cheese and sauce but 0 Mexican flavorings. This place is basically the same, but for “Italian.” Spend two years in Italy, then go here, and you’ll find NOTHING is authentic. Maybe you’ll love this place, but to me it’s just another Olive Garden. Not authentic, not worth the price, and the food is merely ok. Wait staff are solid though!!!

3 /5 Nathan Bantle: Overall the restaurant was very nice and the staff was helpful and kind and easy going. Bathrooms were acceptable. Overall the food just wasn’t top notch. I added blue cheese crumbles to my salad and there were far too many. I ate most without salad. If you really love blue cheese crumbles maybe this is good!. Ordered veil and it was over cooked and tough. Also had an excessive amount of cheese on it. Prices however are excellent and extremely affordable. I would give it a second chance. (Editing my review to respond to the owner below. I remember my experience well. There are 8 photos below. You will see my heavily cheesed and well done veil. I was with several people. We experienced a wide variety of food and drinks.)

5 /5 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!

5 /5 Kelly parker: Thus was a gem of a find on our road trip from Philly to Buffalo. It doesnt look like much from outside but is super cute once you get in the door. The food was phenomenal, staff was friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we come through

3 /5 Jaylynn: The atmosphere was good, small but very pleasant and comforting. The dish I had gotten wasn’t my favorite and maybe it was just the luck of the draw but I was expecting the lasagna to be hearty but it was dry and the meat was not flavorful at all, although the arch sauce was pleasant.Very disappointed in my dish! My husband on the other hand got the NY strip and man oh man was that good!! The garlic toast was a delight as well! We also got the limoncello mascarpone and it was delicious, bit on the sweater side but good!
