Just A Taste is a great restaurant but the environment is quite noisy. They also serve wine and beer. Tapas are fun when you are with three or more people.

Parks & Nature
If you are coming to Ithaca for the first time, you must see Taughannock State Park. The waterfall is incredible. There is a nice walk/hike/bike-ride before you finally encounter the falls. Taughannock Park is more than just the waterfall; it is also a park and campground. There is a $7 fee for each car and they only accept cash. I believe parking is free after 6 or 7pm.

Sightseeing
Ithaca Falls isn't as well-known as Taughannock and Buttermilk State Parks but it is absolutely worth visiting. Located behind the Ithaca High School, I highly recommend it. I visit Ithaca Falls and Taughannock Falls at least once a year with my children, family and friends. It is completely free to walk up to the falls.

Arts & Culture
Cornell University is FULL of local history and culture. If you have never visited Cornell, I highly recommend devoting at least two hours to it. Check out the Clock Tower, Sage Chapel and learn about the history of Cornell.

Essentials
Tops is a full grocery store. The products here are more affordable than anywhere else, if that is important to you. You will not find a bigger selection anywhere else, at least near my apartment. If you are willing to travel to downtown Ithaca, you might find that Wegmans is even better.
