Well-Known Finger Lakes Restaurant to Open in Food Court
TYRE, N.Y. (Nov. 14, 2016) — Del Lago Resort & Casino furthers its mission to act as a gateway to the Finger Lakes region by announcing a partnership with its first food-court vendor, Ciccino’s Pizzeria & Paninoteca. Ciccino’s has been a well-known dining establishment in the Finger Lakes region since 1996, with two successful locations: Waterloo and Geneva. This will be the third Ciccino’s for owner and President Salvatore Franzone.
Ciccino’s Pizzeria & Paninoteca will be a casual quick-service restaurant featuring products that have become synonymous with the Ciccino’s name, including New York-style pizza, calzones, strombolis, paninis, fresh salads and more. Customers will be able to order and dine in del Lago Resort & Casino’s 4,200-square-foot food court. Delivery service will be available to del Lago hotel guests when it opens in Summer 2017.
“From the beginning, del Lago Resort & Casino has focused on partnering with local tourist destinations, businesses, purveyors and agricultural bounties from the Finger Lakes region, and we are looking forward to offering our guests a wonderful meal from Ciccino’s Pizzeria & Paninoteca,” del Lago Executive Vice President and General Manager Jeff Babinski said. “When it came time to secure our first food-court vendor, we knew that Ciccino’s would be the perfect fit.”
“For the past 20 years, Ciccino’s has been committed to the Finger Lakes community, offering our guests a quality dining experience when eating in our restaurants or enjoying our catering or takeout, and we are thrilled to open our third restaurant in del Lago Resort & Casino,” Franzone said. “We look forward to serving guests — weather in the casino or hotel — a delicious, quality meal in a comfortable and casual atmosphere. We invite guests to join us and to “live-laugh and eat well….the Italian way!”
Ciccino’s will be open seven days a week, serving lunch and dinner. Joining Ciccino’s will be two additional food-court vendors, which will be announced in the future.
