“I live between Syracuse and Rochester and was in Syracuse. I’ve passed by Apizza Regionale several times and finally stopped. I ordered an Apizza with sausage to go. I’ve heard of New Haven style and Apizza but have never had it. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The crust had a slight blackening on the bottom and was still airy and tasty. The sauce was perfect as was the sauce. It was very delicious and will definitely be back again. I also want to say how great the service was. The waitress that took my order was very pleasant and professional. I had knee surgery a couple weeks ago and when I returned to pick up my order she carried it out to my car for me. Thank you Apizza Regionale for the great experience.“

Overall I think the store would probably benefit from leaning into the nerdy vibes, decor, etc. It's good so far and I will return!“

It became a regular spot of mine that I have happily spent my afternoons and evenings time and time again after my first few initial visits. All of the bartenders save for one specific (short) individual that other reviews mention are very attentive and will easily recognize you and treat you with respect and make you feel like you are a regular patron who has visited before. You will not find a better bar on the Northside.“

Cavalier Room Bar • $$
100 E Onondaga St, Syracuse

“During a career that has kept me on the road for decades as a touring musician, I have logged more hotel nights and endured more “continental breakfasts” than I care to count. Buffets blur together after a while. This one did not. And the reason is Madee. I was seated at the far table in the M-Club of the Syracuse Marriott Downtown when, precisely at 6:15 a.m., the door from the back of the house opened. Before a single chafing dish appeared, it was already clear that Madee was cut from superior cloth. Her uniform was immaculately pressed, her posture confident, her movements deliberate and economical. There was a quiet professionalism to the way she set the breakfast line, golden chafing dishes placed with a near ceremonial calm. No wasted motion. No noise. Just focus, grace, and purpose. It was the kind of work ethic you recognize immediately if you’ve spent a lifetime watching people either take pride in what they do or simply punch the clock. She was pleasant to look at, physically fit, composed, and radiating a confidence that came not from showmanship but from competence. When she approached my table at exactly the right moment, just as I was finishing my plate of sausage, scrambled eggs, and fingerling potatoes, she greeted me warmly and said, “Good morning, sir. We’d like to present you with this complimentary gift bag for the holidays.” It was a small gesture, but delivered with such sincerity and polish that it landed squarely where hospitality should. I was genuinely charmed. My eggs, which had cooled only because I was busy writing this very review, seemed to perk right back up in her presence. She asked what brought me to town, listened attentively, and when I told her I was a Syracuse native home for Christmas from Florida, she acknowledged it with warmth and ease. The conversation ended exactly as it should have, gracefully, without lingering, as she returned to her breakfast station. From my seat, I overheard her greeting other guests with a level of polish that far exceeded her youth. Every guest received the same respect and attentiveness. Hotels can be beautiful. Lounges can be exclusive. Food can be well prepared. But it is people like Madee who elevate a stay from comfortable to memorable. She represents the very best of hospitality: quiet excellence, genuine courtesy, and pride in one’s work. If Marriott is wise, they will take note. Madee is a credit not only to the M-Club, but to the entire profession.“
