Server was terrific. Food was excellent—top quality: fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared. Top notch all around.

Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful venue, and awesome food and service!

My husband and I had a delightful dinner on the veranda. The staff were all helpful, friendly and very attentive. All of the food was delicious . We had the avocado crab napoleon- two rather generous pieces, lamb lollipops - well-prepared and the pasta of the day - perfectly al dente in a rich creamy sauce with a lovely garlic background. We finished with the large baklava piece with superb taste and crispness! We’ll be sure to return!

If it is good enough for the Dali Lama it is is good enough for me. Great food next door and at the inn and wine tasting in evenings. Enjoy.

Very very bad service, did not sit long enough to get our food, lipstick mark on coffee cup, cream cheese on juice glass, hair and black finger prints on the fruit cup plates, burned coffee . Informed manager and left without eating any thing. This Bistro did not met any of our expectations as a nice place to enjoy a breakfast.

Very cozy and old timey! Great little secluded spot with amazing service. If you're visiting Ithaca and want to experience a little peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Ithaca Commons this is the place!

This was our last dinner on our honeymoon and I'm so glad it was open in the evening for our last night at La Tourelle.My wife had the Roasted Chicken and I had the Shrimp Risotto. Her chicken breast was a little dry, as they tend to be. Her house salad was all fresh from the garden we had just walked past!My shrimp and spinach risotto cakes were deliciously adorned with lavender petals.

It wasnt what I thought it would be. The toast on my reuben was varely toasted and it could gave used more sauce. I wasnt sure I liked the meat at first...and ended up liking it. Roasted potes were yummy and crispy. Nice and quiet. The service provider seemed a but preoccupied so I didnt quite guve 20% as ususually do. Great to spend time with my friend for her Birthday which was a few days before.I would try La Tourelle again to see if it might appeal more next visit. Thank you

This was my first visit and I really enjoyed it.

Very unpretentious setting, but this old home will surprise you with food quality and outstanding service. The lamb lollipops were delicious as was the shrimp and risotto cakes. He tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce was more like a marinara sauce. Nice wine selection. Delicious desserts. Outstanding staff, very welcoming and accommodating.
