Start to finish, it was impeccable. The bartenders last night were fantastic. Our server Leah, was outstanding. They were packed but the service was flawless. The food is out of this world, reminds me of the fresh pastas of Italy. We took some hot Tom sauce back with us and I will savor every bite!

The meatballs with mozz and ricotta was so good. Same with the spicy tomato dipping sauce for the bread

One of my favorite places to eat and have a few cocktails. The bartenders here are rockstars! To be honest, all of the staff here are super friendly and treat us like family.

First off I expected more from fresh made pasta, but angel hair is the same size as Ramen noodles. Also moist, hot, or flavorful are words I can't use to describe the chicken parm, and this is clearly because the chicken is pre-cooked. It doesn't take long to cook food to order as opposed to plate food to order, so I don't know why they don't do it. By adding all the table spices you can eat this food which is why I give it two stars. The only real winner is the bread, but it should be the pasta.

Other than family sauce, this is the best sauce I've had! Quick and friendly service.

We were visiting our daughter in Syracuse, and she took us here. The food was amazing! We started with a delicious Frozen Irish Coffee, which was on special while we waited for our table. In addition to the stretch bread with spicy hot tomato oil, we ordered the Not Your Average Beet starter, and we were blown away! The warmed beets with cashew pesto and crunchy quinoa on the crostini were a great way to start our meal. For my entree, I ordered the Seared Sea Scallops with the 50/50 sauce, which is half tomato sauce and half hot spicy tomato oil. I accompanied my entree with a glass of chianti. The entire meal was fantastic! Make sure to reserve well in advance. They do start a waitlist for dinner at 4 p.m., but the online waitlist option was disabled when we tried to use it, so I called the restaurant directly. I called initially at 4 pm, but the waitlist was only 40 minutes, and we wanted to eat around 6 pm. We called back at 4:20, and the waitlist was 90 minutes, which was perfect. Their site shows where you are in queue, and when you're in the top 5, it's time to head over. It was a great experience all around. We will definitely head back to Pastabilities on our next visit to Syracuse!

Absolutely delicious pasta. Very strange and mixed atmosphere, especially around 10 pm. We were sitting in a booth next to the bar, so we saw lots of drunk people and they were projecting Crossroads without audio onto the wall. Overpriced, but really really good food. I got the gnocchi with pink vodka sauce and my partner got the fettuccine with 50/50 sauce. Unfortunately he accidentally bought a piece of chicken with it, which cost $9 extra.

One of the two best restaurants in Syracuse. everything on the menu has a wow factor. Best item on the menu is their short rib.. the garlic cheese bread was phenomenal, but I’m sure most people won’t order it because you get bread with the meal and the stretch bread they give you is amazing. You would never get bored here. Also happy hours from 4 to 6 but it’s not really cocktails. It’s just wine and they don’t have an advanced wine selection like you might expect. Most definitely a five star restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options that are not boringParking: Parking garage is one block before the restaurant always available open spacesKid-friendliness: Very accommodating

Our entrees were fine, nothing special. But the hot tomato oil with stretchy bread was as excellent as Guy Fieri told me it would be. Also, their service system is very nice for lunch: fast casual, we order and pay from our phones, and there are even takeout boxes available to just grab.
