What an amazing Italian restaurant in downtown Watkins Glen, NY. The based cheese garlic bread and bruschetta were so flavorful and different from what you would get at any other place!! The Linguini the best we have ever had! 👌💖 A must visit for anyone visiting the state park or crossing the town!! They had multiple gluten free and vegetarian options too!

If I could give 100 stars I would! If you’re gluten free, this is the place to be 🙏 Nickel’s has a dedicated fryer that they use- so no cross contamination-, all of their bbq sauces are GF, and our server said most of the menu can be made gluten free. An absolute dream for someone with celiac. And a huge shoutout to Abby, our server, who was extremely knowledgeable about gf options, attentive, friendly and quick with service! If you’re in the area, this is a must visit.

Went here because it said they had Gelato, they did not. They had signs for an iced coffee or latte, which they also didn't have... hard ice cream was just Hershey's, soft serve was okay. They did have gluten free cones which was nice. Average prices but nothing great.

The food is good. That said, looking at other reviews, I was expecting amazing. It is not. It’s just good. Also, if you have food allergies, it could be a challenge. I have celiacs and the entire curry section is NOT gluten free which I’ve never seen before. Wait staff was great. What’s with the large tvs on the wall showing stock underwater footage?
