A Delicious Hidden Gem in Potsdam! If you’re craving authentic Italian flavors in a cozy setting, Potsdam Little Italy is a must-visit! I had an incredible dinner there and was beyond impressed. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, and I couldn’t believe how generous they were with the chicken—it was perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The creamy Alfredo sauce was rich and delicious, coating every bite of pasta just right. And let’s talk about their cheesy garlic knots—absolutely addictive! Buttery, garlicky, and loaded with gooey cheese, they were the perfect start to the meal. The portion sizes are generous, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Potsdam Little Italy is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back for more!
The food was good, the staff was excellent. It was a busy day as the town had a summer festival happening with the whole street blocked off. The staff was amazing. I don’t know how they kept up with all the orders.
Every single time I've ordered from here I've had nothing but fantastic experiences. Friendly employees, great cooks, and great delivery drivers and service. Everyone here is always friendly and willing to go the extra mile for their customers. They're also notoriously quick to deliver most times while also following delivery instructions to the letter. The delivery drivers always leave a text or will call you directly to inform you of their drop off and every employee I've spoken with was always polite and welcoming! Highly recommend their wings and poutine. Their salads are also some of the freshest I've tried in the area.
I have ordered from Little Italy in Potsdam on several occasions. Recently, I placed a pickup order for myself and some friends. Overall, it was a great experience. Everything was ready when I arrived. The online ordering process was simple. The staff were very friendly. I enjoyed my create your pasta dish, one friend had a calzone, and another had a buffalo chicken pizza. The one complaint was that the Buffalo Chicken Pizza was definitely on the mild side. My suggestion might be to add a hot sauce or honey hot drizzle to the ordering options.
Afternoon lunch with my Mom, we were cold and hungry, left warm and FULLy satisfied. Natalia was our server; she was super nice and very attentive. We had an incredible lunch and hands down the best poutine! Kitchen/Staff were great , this was by far the best Little Italy I've been to. Perfect spot for a quick bite & take out! My Mom got mild chicken wings w/blue cheese, and a house salad w/ranch, their dressings were PHENOMENAL! 🍗 😋🥗 My calzone was (pepperoni, mushroom, onion, black olive, and broccoli) HIGHLY, recommend. 😘🤌🏼
The wings were super good and very big. I liked that they weren’t stingy with the ranch and give you a good amount of it. The garlic knots were nice and warm. It was pretty packed when I went so, I guess you can say it is a very popular spot.
