Popular family-friendly Italian restaurant in Trumansburg that includes a bar and take-out pizza. Pre-pandemic, they used to have a fuller menu and a good salad bar with soup and garlic knots that can be a meal itself. We're still hoping they add those back sometime.

Food, booze, and bowling. Ok, that could describe any bowling place, but this place actually has decent food and atmosphere. And while there's only a few lanes to bowl, this could be a good option to take the kids while you wait for the weather to clear and get back to that family camping trip.

Just outside the village in neighboring Covert (don't blink!), is America Winery. But it also has a year-round cafe, often with live music. In the summer, you can eat outside while you listen to a local band. They also host various events including a big 4th of July bash with multiple bands and fireworks. If you're driving to it from Trumansburg on Rt. 96, watch out because the road you turn on to comes up quickly. You'll likely miss it the first time.
