Cate's Italian Garden

"We arrived at 4:01. Party of two, first customers of the evening. It took over an hour to get our food. It seemed as though the larger tables received all of the servers’ attention. When we got our food, it took about 10 minutes to flag down someone to ask them for some red sauce. The place smelled extremely musty. The decor was bizarre. Wish I had taken a photo of the strange picture that was hanging by my husband. It was of a chef that looked deranged. And on the very next wall there was the exact same creepy picture! The tossed salads we got were simply some mixed greens with a couple of cherry tomatoes and sliced canned black olives tossed in a very astringent and tart balsamic vinaigrette and they cost $13 each. My gluten free pasta was cooked well. Not mushy. But was quite blah tasting (which is why I was wanting the side of red sauce) My husband reported that the chicken Masala was good. Disappointed that they didn’t have gluten free bread available. My his brother reported the bread that he had was chewy and had possibly been microwaved. Took quite a while to get our to go boxes and check. They charged an almost 7% fee to use a credit card! When we asked another server where the notice of this charge is, she apologetically informed us it was on the menu. I am sure that we are not the only hungry, weary travelers who missed that little tidbit of information. Fortunately, we were able to have the credit card charged removed and were able to pay for our meal in cash which saved us $7. Overall a very disappointing first meal on our vacation in Bolton Landing."

"Very good. It's easy to see why they are such a popular spot right on the main drag. We dined with 7 people on Saturday at 7 ish and though there was a small wait, which is to be expected, we were seated and fed rather quickly. Gnocchi was delicious and my son loved his meatball. Everyone in our party was rather pleased. I would go again for sure."

"We got take out so I can only judge only on my experience with take out. The bartender was definitely stressed with all the orders coming in. BE AWARE if you get take out they add 15% gratuity the pizza definitely wasn’t the best but some of the other food looked great. Maybe just avoid getting take out from them. It looks like a great fine dining experience."

"The food was fantastic!! As well as the drinks. The hostess was so friendly. Our waitress was so sweet! Definitely will return over the summer"

"Never been to Bolton Landing. Decided to stop by for some pizza and it didn’t disappoint. They were THAT close to a 5 star. The welcoming was absolutely remarkable. Location perfect and food was good. I definitely would recommend. Their tomato sauce is delicious. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY!"
