The food was fantastic as always, they've eaten here a few times over the years and it's always been quality, especially the Utica greens. My only complaint is that prices have gone up but the portions are the same and I really can't blame because prices are up everywhere.

I had such a memorable experience here with a warm and calm atmosphere. The food was always served fresh hot and beautifully plated. Their wine tastes great and the service is top tier. My baby slept in my arms comfy as could be while I sipped wine until our food came out. That's how good the atmosphere is.

It is a great Italian restaurant with an authentic ambiance and music from the rat-pack era. The food was great. The service was excellent.

The tomato and mozzarella appetizer is very good . So was the Utica greens. The linguini seafood foodd diavolo was perfect. We travel through Syracuse once per year and are never disappointed when dining here..

DO NOT GO HERE!

The service could have been way better there were only a couple people in the whole place and the waiter forgot our waters.
Also some woman was dusting the window sill in the booth next to us and her hand came out and it was weird. Def depressing vibes tho on the inside and it feels a bit musty with a slight smell of gas.

Edit: I changed this to a 1 star from a 3 because my boyfriend left his credit card on accident and when confirmed that the restaurant had it, when he tried to pick it up it was “missing” AKA stolen with a $200 charge on it. The people working there are incompetent thieves and we will never return.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I was part of a large group event. The food was typical Italian and tasty. I have no idea about pricing since I didn't pay anything. The staff hustled to serve all of us promptly and correctly.

Horrible experience. Walk into resturant no greeting, had to tell them at front we needed a table, got to table no silverware, waited over 20 mins for server, side salad was horrible warm and dressing tasted like mayo. 1st time and last time for sure.

No A/C on days when the temp in Syracuse is 94 degrees puts a damper on any review. Having said that my soup the pasta fagioli was hot and good while my sister's chicken pastina, boarded on cold. We shared a wrap, the Mandelyn, was very good with chicken, tomato, buffalo mozzarella and a basil pesto mayonnaise. Very tasty but again we had difficulty enjoying it in the heat. We'll try it again when the earth cools off. The bar looked amazing
