Billy's - Old Forge

If you really appreciate Italian, Billy?s it is. Small and cozy on the main St in Old Forge, Billy?s could compete with the best of them! I usually calculate Italian from the sauce and meatballs, I have to say both were excellent! Other ducks, chicken parm, manicotti and vodka Riggies were also excellent. The atmosphere was like sitting on a Sunday at your mother-in-law, we loved it! Did?t really have high expectations for a tourist city, but Billy?s is the real deal! Reservations are a must, the dining area is small. Not even looking at the competition in the city, that's it!

Making a reservation is definitely recommended. We opted for a 4:30 PM slot. Our meal began with a selection of fresh homemade breads accompanied by salads. The Alfredo sauce on my pasta was incredibly tasty! For dessert, I ordered a Cannoli and was pleasantly surprised to receive two instead of one. They were both delightful! The background music featuring Frank Sinatra was perfect for the atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

I took my wife to Billy's during our weekend in Old Forge, NY, and we had a fantastic experience overall. The service was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The team consisted of young yet knowledgeable and professional individuals. The owner was present and approachable, ensuring that all customers had everything they needed, including water. We didn't have to wait long for our meals; the service was quite prompt. Our dishes were well-prepared and perfectly seasoned, with everything served fresh and hot—nothing was overcooked or undercooked. I was genuinely impressed by the skills of the two young chefs. I highly recommend the Cajun Pasta dish, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the eggplant Parmigiana as well. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate ambiance, creating a beautifully relaxed atmosphere. In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best dining spots in the area. We will definitely be returning!

Billy provided us with an exceptional catering service for our family gathering. The food was absolutely delicious, including the appetizers, pasta, chicken, eggplant, and cannoli—everyone in our Italian family loved it! He even delivered everything to the campsite we had rented. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Billy is the owner. He does it all with a smile on his face. Excellent food, staff and a mainstay in the local community. Usually very busy but make a reservation or order take out. Large portions of excellent Italian food. Prices are reasonable. You won't be disappointed!
