Rainbow Heaven has a nice array of flavors of the Orient, including both Chinese food and Japanese sushi. Though the decor is quite basic here, nothing much to look at or to really speak of, that just means that the food can claim center stage, and it certainly does. The hamachi roll and the rainbow roll are our two favorite things on the menu. We've had better sushi than this in NYC of course, but for the Hornell area this is quite impressive. The tempura is really delicious too, and they've got all those delicious Japanese noodle dishes too, though it's hard to get past the sushi to order those! Everything here is just fantastic. Very highly recommended!

Billy Schu's Food Bar is such a Hornell institution, we couldn't imagine leaving it off this list. It's one of those places that all the locals know and love, but the visitors to the area often don't find it because of its obscure location on a side street. We love it that way! Because like Cheers, everybody knows each other here. You can come in for just a delicious coffee and to relax, or dive into a full hearty meal. The buffalo chicken flatbread pizza is one of our favorite things to order, and we also love all their soups and desserts. The enormous portions are another thing that they're known for, so if you're really hungry, this is a great place to go! Awesome ambiance. Our highest recommendation.

Marino's Restaurant is a wonderful Italian restaurant, and though it hasn't been around for too long, it has really become a big part of our city's landscape. We love the rich history of the building that it's housed in, and that adds a certain air of longevity to this relatively new gem. That wooden bar is such a classic piece of furniture, you'd think it was there forever. There are multiple dining areas here, including the front dining area with the bar, the back dining area, and the two dining areas upstairs, so there's more than enough space here. The food is very good, traditional Italian dishes with just the right amount of kick and flavor. Wonderful service, and a waitstaff that's quite knowledgeable about the menu. We know you'll enjoy it here just as much as we do.

Club 57 is another one of the more upscale restaurants located in Hornell, this one very cozy and romantic, just perfect for those intimate dates with the special person in your life. It's also very nice for a classy lunch with your friends or family, and get togethers with friends in the evenings. The drinks are very good, nice and strong, and the food is very flavorful and prepared to order. The prices are of course a bit higher here than elsewhere in the city, but that's no surprise. The quality is on par with the prices so we can't complain! The service has always been exceptional, and we really look forward to our visits to this wonderful dining establishment. Very highly recommended!

Giovanni's Pizzeria Restaurant is the place that we love to go in Hornell for their fabulous stromboli, but that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the fabulous food that they offer here. It's true that the service can be a bit slow here, but everything is worth the wait, and everything always arrives piping hot. When it comes to ambiance there's not much to talk about, there isn't much to look at here. But it's all about the food, and with food this delicious, that's all that really matters! The people who work here are always so friendly to us, and so willing to stop and take a moment to chat. That's rare these days so we really appreciate it, and you will too.

The Country Kitchen is easily recognized by that familiar white exterior and the gleaming red roof. Nothing ever seems to change here... just the same wonderful food and the same consistent service time after time. The breakfasts are simply out of this world, prepared with real attention to detail and real skill. When we were staying in the Hornell area, we came in quite a few times and the waitstaff got to know what we ordered and would just bring us the usual. It's rare to find a place where they'll remember your name along with what you always order in these hectic times! This is a real gem of a breakfast spot if you ask us, and we would very highly recommend it to anyone.

Andy's Sub Shop is the place to go if you are looking for really delicious subs. So many people automatically head to one of the chain sub shops nowadays, but those don't even come close to the quality that you will receive here, and you'll be supporting a local business as well. They've got nice long sub rolls here that taste fresh and flavorful, and lots of different toppings so you can order one of the featured subs or just tell them what you want on it.  There aren't very many seats here, so if you want to eat inside you may find yourself with a short wait, but most people seem to grab carryout anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Always a great meal here!

Texas Cafe is the place that we go for our Texas hots when we're in Hornell, and we have never been disappointed! There's nothing like biting into one of those generously sized dogs with the chili sauce smeared all over it in a hearty fashion... They're very authentic to the original Texas hots here, and that's what we love so much about them. Gotta love that spicy brown mustard and the fresh onions too. The service is always so fast and friendly here, and there's just no more convenient stop than this when you are cravings something that's both quick and filling. Everything else on the menu is very good too! Make sure to stop in next time you're in Hornell and tell them we sent you.

Friendly's Restaurant is of course a chain restaurant which we don't recommend too often, not because we don't enjoy chain restaurants (we do!) but because everybody already knows all about them. However, Friendly's is a real staple in Hornell, so we had to include it on this list. They've got really delicious breakfasts where the plates are piled high, large hamburgers that are just perfect for lunch, crisp salads with all the fixings, entrees that will really make your mouth water for dinner, and of course their ice cream gets top billing too.  It's fun to come here with the family, especially if you've got young kids in tow,  and everybody always has such a great time. Located conveniently on Main Street.

The Sunset Restaurant is another place that is known for its delicious pizza. We haven't actually been to this one, but it's been recommended to us very highly by several friends who insisted that we include it on this list! They related to us that the pizza is really out of this world, nice and large with just the perfect amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings. They also raved about the service here, saying that it's one of the most welcoming restaurants in the entire city, and though it's really nothing fancy, it's always cozy and well lit. If you're looking for a nice casual sit down restaurant where you can enjoy a hearty pizza pie with your friends, this is it!
