The place is pretty fancy yet not overpriced. Loved the food. It is a bit noisy when it's crowded or at full capacity but the waitress did a great job of checking on us from time to time.

The food here was delicious! I ordered the wicked chicken riggies. They had a nice little kick to them. We also had the gluten free penne with garlic & oil, broccoli, and locatelli cheese. We also got the bread and “hot tom”, or hot tomato sauce- which is $6 during lunch. Everything was delicious and the people were very nice. They don’t provide service, in that you go to the counter yourself to order and pay right on the spot. Of course, they do ask for tip despite not providing a normal table service. We left one, but don’t feel obligated, they have waitstaff to drop off your food, surely they can also take your order.

Really disappointed, ordered take out and they forgot our hot tom app but still charged us for it.

We went for my daughter’s 19th birthday and had a party of 8! We made reservations and were seated right away! The entire experience was amazing! Our waitress was just amazing, she explained everything on the menu, and answered all the questions! She even asked if anyone had food allergies, which we did, and she highlighted everything on the menu that individual could have. Not just the waitress but all the staff was super attentive, and were constantly making sure our table was cleared after each item they brought and we ate. The pasta of course was delicious and we all left there stuffed and extremely happy!

An incredible dining experience, this is my second time visiting and it's one of my favorite pasta places around! Everything is made from scratch including all of the pastas and sauces. Even the bread is baked in their bakery. On top of great food, the family run establishment has wonderful service. It's not a surprise the place is often busy and has been around for years! We will definitely be back as it's one of our favorites. If you try that campanelle, make sure and add a side of pesto, as they suggested ;) it's a home run! You also can't go wrong with the spicy bolognese (bolo) with the fettuccine. Delicious!

My absolute favorite restaurant of all time. It always hits. The environment is great, the food is great, the servers are great. We’ve been coming for over 10 years. It’s our go to restaurant in Syracuse, and if we go somewhere else we’re typically just disappointed. The portions and prices are super reasonable. In fact, they’re one of the only places that still gives free bread- and the bread is actually delicious and they service it with their signature sauce which is also delicious. We’re just huge fans of this place! Pictured here is the ceasar salad, the walnut broccoli oil pasta substituted for gnocchi and added grilled chicken, and tiramisu with the caramel brownie for dessert.

If you don't like technology and using apps or QR codes, this place is not for you. But if you are open to it, they've absolutely mastered what efficiency means. Incredible speed, fair prices for the portion sizes (I'd actually prefer smaller sizes but at least you know from the beginning that you'll have lunch for the following day) and good quality. Despite the use of technology, the staff is attentive and still makes it feel personable.
AMAZING.... Will definitely be back. All the food was so good, waiter was very nice, continuously checked with us.... See you when we come back to Syracuse😊

Absolutely amazing, water refills were frequent, they gave us a ton of bread, and the pasta was absolutely AMAZING! 5 stars, no hesitation.

YaYa was truly exceptional. She’s the kind of person who turns a great meal into an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely fantastic—but her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care were what made it extraordinary. She’s the reason I’ll be coming back. Service like that doesn’t just complement the meal—it elevates it. 👏

Basically, this trip ended up being filled with awkward disappointments.
It’s hard to feel good about the experience when you walk in and are immediately directed to use an app to place your order. It feels impersonal and transactional. The server barely engaged with us beyond pointing us toward the digital system, which made the whole experience feel cold and disconnected.
On top of that, the one item we specifically came for — the duck bacon flatbread — wasn’t listed on the menu.
The food itself was decent, but the service left a lot to be desired. What makes a restaurant memorable isn’t just the food — it’s the hospitality. Here, that element felt stripped away. The dishes were simply dropped off with minimal interaction. It felt more like a system than an experience.
For a place that many people consider a destination, the atmosphere and service didn’t match that reputation.
Waiting to leave, you might as well go the the counter to get a to go box. You’ll wait for a while otherwise.
The wicked meatball sub was the best part of what we ordered.
