The Appian Way

First timer. Dinner for twelve. Long wait times? Yes, but that was expected and considered normal as they make everything fresh and to order. Small place but clean and with a friendly staff. Everyone I was with gave the place a solid five stars. I gave it a four due to the meal I ate. The veal parm had a texture I wasn't expecting and the flavor was off. Not sure if it was because I've never had "fresh" veal parm? My wife claimed the fried calamari was the BEST she'd ever had. Fresh baked bread was good if a bit 'yeasty' and the oranges plate was a surprise hit with all. Kids had pasta with butter but they weren't into the homemade pasta. I tired the fettuccine alfredo and that is what I should have gotten. That was a five star plate. Next time then. The desert was also a hit at the table. Give this place a try if you like Italian food.

If you want the most authentic and best tasting, freshly made Italian food in the Capital District - this is the place. The service and atmosphere is just like eating a meal at home. Everything is cooked to order so plan to be there a while - which we don’t mind because after 40 yrs of dining there - they are family!

Cozy, quiet, and authentic. Appian Way is the closest thing to sitting in your grandmothers house while she cooks dinner for you.
