“After a hard day working on a house project I was too tired to cook so I called OIP Eastwood location and ordered 4 works steak subs with sides of marinara, 10 chargrilled mango habanero wings and a large sausage and mushroom pizza! We were starving obviously! Hillary got my order 100% correct and was super friendly! 25 minutes later the food was ready! When we got the food home and started devouring everything, all was prepared to perfection and tasted amazing! You now have 3 additional fans of your amazing food besides myself! Thank you all so much for making our hard day of work end so deliciously and making my difficult day so much easier come dinner time! ❤️“

“I want to express my sincere appreciation to Katie who is a bartender and waiter. My sister has come to Syracuse to see me several times and we frequently visit your restaurant when she is here. Unfortunately I have developed some health issues and Katie was sooooo empathetic. We specifically ask to sit in a booth at the bar hoping to hear Katie’s smiling professional voice. She is an assess to your restaurant. Thank you so much. You guys are doing it right!“

“My friend and I decided to try this place because our favorite pizza place was closed for vacation. This is our new FAVORITE pizza now. The sauce was delicious and the veggie pizza was loaded. We will definitely be back.“

“Good food, good cocktails, good service. We’ll be back!“

“Went to Joey's for the first time last night. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. From the fresh bread with yummy garlic butter to delicious salads and fabulous entrees. I ordered Shrimp Francaise and it was the best food I have ever eaten. I brought Tiramisu home for desert. Again, mouth watering, so so delicious. My friends had eggplant Parmesan, clams, salmon, chicken french, and all raved about their entrees. But the other best part was the host Chris and our wonderful server Nancy. She is by far the best server ever. She made our evening fun while providing excellent service. Totally in tuned with our table and always answering our questions with knowledge and a wonderful attitude. The ambiance was great. Nice little tables for two in corners and just the right atmosphere for everyone.“

“I have been coming to Avicolli’s since my mom was recently hospitalized. I am from out of state and I consider myself a pizza snob. This coal fired pizza is just amazing. Thank you to the pizza guy Bobby for restoring my faith in pizza! Your pizza is 👌🏼perfection!“

“First time here last night for my birthday. Sat at the bar and was waited on by Bianca? (Dark hair and sparkly top on) She was friendly, professional, efficient and checked on us often. Gnocchi in vodka sauce and meatballs were to die for, and fried ravioli appetizer special was super tasty too! Currently eating my leftovers for dinner and she wrote the sweetest happy birthday note on the box, sent the wonderful experience home with me. 10/10“

“I was fired when i was in the ICU in a coma. Barely survived, but when i finally woke up and came out of the coma, I read a text from now ex boss. He permanently covered every one of my shifts. DESPICABLE“

“Our waitress named Isabella was fantastic. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo which was delicious and had minestrone soup too and that was great too.“

“Went to Nick’s on Thompson Rd. last night (always look forward to going there) and had a sausage, pepper and onion pie and a few wings. Great food, great owners, a MUST visit for all. (Open weekdays only)“

“Went to this restaurant on our drive up to Canada as we were staying in Syracuse for the night.

I called ahead (on the same day) to make a reservation, which is recommended. They were full by the time we got there. We were seated quickly, but waited a while for service. It seemed like there were only 2 servers that night, and they were both running back and forth from the host position to grabbing drinks to getting the food out.

I ordered the steak frites. It was good, but a bit salty for my tasting. The fries had a heavy coating of Parmesan cheese which made it too salty.

The atmosphere and vibe is nice and romantic. However in the winter it does get cold as it’s an older building and when people enter/exit the restaurant a draft gets let in.

Overall, it was an okay experience. I’d come back in the summer just to see if things are different.“

“One of the best meals we have out to eat in a while! Growing up, we were regulars in Norwich. It was great to have today’s experience while we were in the Chittenango area.“

“Great food! I don't get wings anywhere else. And when I do, I always regret it.“

“A big shoutout to Mario for ensuring our 10 pizzas were delivered promptly to the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital today. We were thrilled to give back to the amazing staff and current patients at the Cancer Center for everything they've done for our little guy. Our Matthew got to ring the bell today, making it a truly special celebration! The staff saw the pizza and immediately said, "OHHH, good, it's from Mario's!" Thank you so much for your incredible support and kindness.“
