“Celebrated a “cousins holiday get together” here for the first time and based on the experience expect it to be an annual get together in the future. Actually can’t wait to visit multiple time in between too!! Everything was exceptional from service to food. Love the comfortably spacious dining area also. Cannot wait to visit again!!!“

“Another anniversary dinner at Pastas, and it didn’t fail. Caleb at the bar is our go to, and is always top notch! From letting him pick our dessert, to casual chats, we won’t go to anyone else! Thanks for making our night just a bit more special! 5+ stars, always!“

“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.“

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

“We had an excellent Anniversary meal there last night. Our waiter was superb. Our food was amazing. Just wonderful 🤩“

“The food here is amazing , the best Italian food around they know what they're doing and treat you right !“

“We recently had dinner at this establishment. It as a special occasion so be brought a cake with us and were told there would be a $20 serving fee! How outrageous is that! In this day and age with this economy I would think you would be grateful for the business. Where is the customer service! I was told you have a baker on sight so that is the reason! ridiculous! Needless to say we will NOT patronize Francescas again and will spread the word! There were 6 of us and so with drinks etc. we had a hefty bill Also, the veal saltimbuca was way overcooked!“

“Always a great choice 👍👍“

“A bunch of us girls went for brunch today. It was my first time there and definitely won’t be my last. Everything from the food, service, and decor was top notch. I was too busy chatting and scarfing my food to get any pics. My favorite was the frittata and the cheesy potatoes! Can’t wait to introduce this cute place to more friends. ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“The chicken pastini soup was served nice and hot, loaded with fresh veggies and chicken. Very good. The clams casino were perfectly prepared and so delicious, only problem was that we wanted more. Our entrees were excellent and accompanied with delicious crusty Italian bread. Will be back for more!“

“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.“

“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! ❤️“

“Stopped in on a Wednesday night right before they were closing. We were so relieved the owner was not only gracious but welcoming to our big group of people. We ordered pizza and wings and they were DELICIOUS! Had never been here before but I will be back again. I wish I had taken a picture of my food but damn it was good, gone before I thought of it!
Side note: We had just left the calling hours of a very beloved lady in our family. Thank you Gemelli’s, you had no idea what we were going thru but you made a very sad time a little easier.“

“We used Bianchi's Catering for our Holiday Party and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Everything was hot and delicious or cold and delicious. Our menu was varied and everyone was happy. We would recommend Bianchi's Catering to anyone who'll listen!“

“We hired Karen’s Catering of Syracuse for our wedding reception with 115 guests. From the moment I spoke with Andrea, I knew that she was a high quality, experienced caterer. We had so many options to create the dinner of our dreams and it was executed perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with this company.“
