Adam HovakBilly’s is one of the places that always comes highly recommended in Old Forge. Billy is the owner and if you’ve e been there, you probably have met him. He greets many of the people, and embodies “owner-operator.” It reminds me of the Italian joint I worked at growing up, and the food is delicious. We’ve bee there a few times and we’ve tried a bunch of dishes, everything was great. Be sure to try the greens, they’re fantastic with just the right amount of spice and a bit of added cheese. If you want to know anything about the area, strike up a conversation with Billy, he’s a local and he knows what’s going on and loves to chat. We’ll be going back soon!

Hailly GopelWe had such an amazing experience here tonight! We called around 6:40 PM to ask about the wait time and whether they accepted reservations. Even though it was last minute, they were kind enough to fit us in with an 8:00 PM reservation, which we truly appreciated. When we arrived, our table was already set up and waiting for us. Water was brought to the table immediately, and despite how busy the restaurant was, the staff never missed a beat. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure every table was well taken care of. Our waitress went above and beyond. She even asked if we'd like certain courses brought out together since it was getting late and she was concerned the little ones might get tired if everything was served separately. It was such a thoughtful gesture. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The salads were fresh and delicious, and the stuffed mushroom appetizer special was incredible. Then came the entrées—and wow! The portions were huge, and every dish was hands down some of the best Italian food we've ever had. The owner was also incredibly welcoming, checking in on guests and making everyone feel like family. You could tell they genuinely care about every person who walks through their doors. To make the night even more special, we were celebrating our son's 3rd birthday. We had bought cheesecake, and the two waitresses surprised us by lighting a candle, bringing it out to him, and singing "Happy Birthday." It meant so much to us and made his night unforgettable. What impressed us most was that although they officially close at 8:00 PM, they never once made us feel rushed. They stayed open until around 9:30 PM so we could enjoy our meal and celebrate together. Thank you all for making our evening so special. From the exceptional service to the incredible food and genuine hospitality, everything was perfect. We will absolutely be back, and I can't recommend this restaurant enough. 10/10!

Mike KeimHighly recommend!! Billy invited us in from the door, and checked on us often. The food was delicious, and the servings were large. Definitely plan ahead in season because there is not much seating. We will definitely return the next time we are in Old Forge!

Dylan BartellCalled to check whether they were open since the website info didn't match the posted hours, and ended up making a reservation. Small, one-room dining area but nice atmosphere and wasn't too crowded or loud. Ordered coconut shrip appetizer, which came out quickly and was really good. Entree orders of vodka riggies and veal parmisiana came with salad, which I got with blue cheese crumbles and dressed with balsamic vinaigrette, which I believe was homemade. Bread arrived a bit late, but was homemade with cripsy crust and fluffy inside. Riggies were outstanding and very flavorful. Parmisiana was cooked perfectly and delicious. Ordered cannoli for desert, which was also very good. Staff was very friendly and will bag any leftovers for you. Price was rather high but was worth it. Overall an outstanding experience, and I highly recommend making a reservation.
