honestly i had high hopes for vonas the restaurant itself is nice and the staff seemed nice. now to the bad i picked up dinner for myself and my wife for date night and we now regret it. i had the pizza wich is definately poor quality and reminds me of a bowling alley pizza or chuck e cheese quality of not worse. my wife had a bruschette wich the bread was soggy and it had a bunch of large raw garlic cloves on it. Her baked zitti was also upsetting as it was bland and typically baked zitti is noodles red sauce and cheese melted on top but they apparently decided to melt the cheese what little there was on top the bare noodles and then poor red sauce on top not what my wife or i expected. then the stuffed mushrooms well you only get 5 of various sizes with imitation crab meat as noted on theyre menu for 10 dollars overall bland and not worth the money. last but not least the tortellini in alfredo sauce looks sad tastes like nothing and sad and the end to a very expensive and horrible food experience if you want good tasting italian food drive down the road to canales theyre food is on a much...
Read moreChristine is a wonderful waitress, very accomodating. My girlfriend and I went. There were so many good choices, especially if Italian is your favorite. We got Christine to bring us a sample of Vona's sauce with our Italian bread. YUM! Both got a side salad. Then friend got cheese manicotti swimming in sauce. I got homemade egg noodles with meatballs. Meatballs were very meaty rather than breadcrumbs and I could taste the garlic. Oh how I love garlic. Asked for yet another side of sauce.

Very different from most cheesecakes yet very good. My current favorite is a Burnt Basque cheesecake because its so easy to make. Anyhow, I would definitely eat here again. Good service, good food, pleasant atmosphere. We had a booth. Don't hesitate to try it. I am super picky about my...
Read moreThis weekend we had two graduates from SU who wanted to come to Vona's in Oswego for their celebration dinner. All 22 of us happily went to Vonas. We were having a wonderful time and our granddaughter and one of the graduates, who has epilepsy, suffered a seizure in the restaurant. Obviously this was a traumatic experience for all of us but now, after we all have recovered, I have to publically say that the professionalism that the staff showed all of us during this time was truly amazing! Mary Jane Vona and her staff were just amazing, supportive and did not over-react during this whole time! Everyone took their dinner home, packed by the staff, and enjoyed by everyone on Sunday!! BTW everything was just delicious and obviously we will return...drama free...soon!! Again, our thanks to the most professional staff that I have ever experienced!! And if you are looking for amazing food...this is the...
