Welcome to KitchenAndCocktail.com, the web home of three great places for dining, drinks, and good times in Ithaca, New York. The Kitchen and Cocktail family includes:

We are committed to serving local, organic, seasonal foods and supporting the many great local farms.

Stella's Cafe, opened in 1992, is the oldest cafe of its type in Ithaca. It is a Cornell landmark and a classic cafe in every sense of the word.

Stella's Restaurant and Bar opened a few years later in 1997. Featuring cast concrete bars and tables that we built ourselves, 60 scotches and bourbons, and countless martinis, it is a must-experience place.

Olivia Restaurant and Bar, opened in 2004, is a modern American bistro, housed in a renovated historic train depot once owned by Ezra Cornell. Olivia serves fresh local ingredients, buying whole, organic, grass-fed local cows.

Catering by Olivia is the full-scale catering operation for all in-house and off-premise events for the Kitchen and Cocktail restaurant family. From coffee service in the morning to the most elegant weddings, Catering by Olivia brings the Kitchen and Cocktail flavor to the forefront.
