Billy's in the spot where Frankie's used to be and thank God! The food is fantastic, good portions at a reasonable price, and I never leave hungry. The Chicken Riggies are my favorite, but you have to watch it or it's easy to fill up on that bread! Wow! A+, a wonderful place.

This place is absolutely faboulas. Food is out of this world. Serve is great. Oh and the deserts, they are to die for. Small place but very cozy and very personal. Billy greats each and every customer. He can not do enough for you.

I ate there for the first time last summer during a visit to Old Forge and have returned for more several times. Fantastic traditional Italian food. Very 'homey' atmosphere. Billy is an outstanding host who really cares about his customers. It's easy to fill up on the great bread but you have to save room for the entrees and chocolate... More

Food is delicious! Billy also has "charity" meals once or twice a month, where he donates a portion of the nights revenue to a "local" non-profit organization! The wait staff it tops! Food is brought out at a nice pace, ie if you have an appetizer, the main meal does not come out until you finished your appetizer, not while... More

Good food, reasonable prices, nice wait staff. If you want something more than beer or wine, then Billy's might not be for you as that is the only adult beverages available. The dining room is small so I advise to get there early or your wait might be long. I would say that this is the second best Italian restaurant... More

Billy's was recommended to us by our hotel and it did not disappoint. Both the food and service were excellent. I ordered manicotti (that is made in Utica) with sausage. It was a generous portion and was excellent. My boyfriend ordered broiled haddock and the piece was HUGE. He said it was delicious. We were so full that we didn't... More
