   As always, the lunch buffet at Banfi was fabulous! Specialty salads, delicious vegetable options, carved meat, and amazing desserts. I always look forward to my visits.

   Just as before I d give it a 12 from 1 to 10 . I was a bit nervous because I had friends with who heard me brag about my previous enjoyment there but they thanked for taking them to a place that lived up to the hype. I chuckled because when they asked what I recommend and they asked the Same question to her she said the exact thing I said " the lamb shank or duck were highly recommended. " I had the shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta with their home made mozzarella. Plenty of perfectly cook shrimp as expected. Wonderful waitress and ambiance topped off a perfect evening.

   The Sunday Brunch was a bit of a disappointment. While the space is beautiful and the service attentive, the food was good, but not outstanding and there could definitely have been more creativity in the offerings. Also, at $35 per person, soft drinks should be included (only coffee, tea, and water are). In fact, most places usually offer at least one mimosa on the house. Desserts were all ok, but again, except for the creme brulee, not particularly exceptional. Probably won't come back for brunch again

    Taverna Banfi at Cornell is a true gem! The New York strip was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. And the tiramisu? Absolutely out of this world delicious—creamy, rich, and the perfect sweet finish. Can’t wait to come back for more!
