Jerlandos Ristorante & Pizza Co. - Watkins Glen (NY)

5 /5 Canh Vo: My wife and I have been coming here for the past 7-8 year and it’s become out go-to Italian spot whenever we visit Watkins Glen. Back when we first came with friends, then as a couple dating, later engaged and now married, this place has always been a part of our trips. The food never disappoints. Even with a wait that can stretch close to an hour, it’s always been worth it. The service has been consistently excellent in our experience- friendly, attentive and welcoming. Every meal feels thoughtfully presented and tastes just as good as it looks. My wife is all about their pizzas and garlic knots while I lean toward the pasta dishes and arancini. No matter what we order, it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in their craft. If you’re visiting Watkins Glen, stop in. Whether it’s pizza, pasta or just the warm atmosphere, you won’t regret it. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Bill M: Jerlando’s is a staple in Watkins Glen. My wife and I have been coming to the area for 8 years and we have never eaten here. That changed (finally!) due to a recommendation from our AirBnB owner. We waited about a half hour for a table at 7:30 on a Thursday night. We walked around the store next to it and our buzzer reached us there which was really nice. We ordered immediately and all of our food came out within 30 mins. The cheesy garlic bread was fantastic and probably the best we have ever had. So flavorful without being heavy. My wife ordered the Penne with Vodka and added chicken. I had the Grilled Chicken Cantonese with a baked potato. Hers was good but mine was better. The chicken was expertly cooked and the sauce was soooo good without being heavy or messy. I could have licked the plate if it were socially acceptable but we saved bread for that very reason. We will be Jerlando regulars from now on!

5 /5 An Pan: Found this old style Italian restaurant after a great hike in Watkins Glen Gorge. Service was great and pleasant. Lots of choices. Veal Marsala was tender and sweet. Chicken Livornese also was liked. Bruschetta was crusty with lots of tomatoes and olive oil. The meals came with garlic bread and salads and fries. Large portions. Wine bottles were reasonably priced and good choices. Tiramisu was one of the best I had.

5 /5 Gustavo Sotelo: We really enjoyed our dinner at this Italian restaurant! The Hawaiian pizza was tasty and the fettuccine bolognese was amazing — super flavorful and creamy. The service was great, everyone was very nice and welcoming. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

5 /5 Jerzy Grl: Very tasty pizza ! We had the Carolina Tangy chicken slice which was excellent! It was sweet and savory. It tasted like it was honey coated chicken that gave it its sweetness but it must’ve been the BBQ sauce. It had red onions on it too. I thought they said it had ranch on it but it doesn’t list it on the menu. We also tried the bruschetta pizza which was very tasty as well. It left us wanting more but we were stuffed.
