- Caitlin LawlerJune 28, 2016Delicious fresh pasta and bread. I love going by in the morning and smelling the fresh baked bread from across the street where you can stop in and buy some loaves or oil/sauce to take homeUpvoted Jan 19
- Charo HNovember 26, 2012The Pasta Pizza (smoked duck bacon, fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, dried cherries, caramelized shallots, garlic oil, pomegranate drizzle, black pepper, basil chiffonade on fresh pizza dough) is yummy!
- NicoleJune 13, 2015Nice experience from waiting for a table to leaving. Cocktails were A+. Ask for the garlic stretch bread AND the famous hot tomato oil if you're torn. Pastas were kind of drowned in sauce, but tasty.
- Maxwell ZaleskiSeptember 9, 2019had to revisit twice in the span of one week (yes, it's that good!). the caesar salad, the Fettucine w/ pink vodka cream sauce, and wicky wicky chicken riggies are all fabulous!
- Carlton AndrewsDecember 9, 2017I loved the Chicken Penne Pasta. Let the guys behind the counter know you want a hot or cold entree. Either is good but you may be surprised getting something as a cold plate when you expect hot.
- NicoleJune 13, 2015Play with the magnetic poetry. Tables are spaced out far enough for privacy but still feel cozy. This is probably a popular date night spot.
- Lunch time is the best and fastest way to enjoy pastas. Counter service offers a huge specialty salad bar along fresh made pizza, and pastas with your choice of sauces along with daily specials.
- Ray FossJune 2, 2013For vegans, they make a mean portobello. You can add that to a pasta. With a side of broccoli. The waiters know vegans. Your options are very limited. Great drinks, decor and atmosphere though.
- Come for lunch on a Saturday. Quick self-service line, great food, and you can still get your free unlimited bread!! Don't forget the hot tomato sauce!!
- John R Dallas JrMay 13, 2014Love this place! Service was excellent. Lobster ravioli was outstanding. Will return when I have time to savor those tempting desserts I saw.
- Tony VolturnoMarch 15, 2019Service was more than excellent, food was very good with a seasonal menu everything is fresh. All the food was very flavorful.
- Paul MApril 19, 2012Come here for lunch! Cafeteria-style dine-in or take-out, with pastas made to order, a great salad selection, and daily specials. Classy, delicious, and a good value.
- Tamara DSeptember 1, 2016Great raviolies and vodka sauce. Stretch bread tomato sauce was amazing we bought 4 jars.
- Nicole FormicaJune 27, 2016Amazing pasta selections. Don't miss out on the hot dipping oil they serve before your meal!
- The hot tomato oil is literally amazing. Make sure to get an extra plate. So worth the $3
- Spicy hot tomato oil on pasta with blackened chicken is the best thing on the menu. Wonderful wine list too!
- Lock WenchJune 15, 2012Locals in the know order their "Hot Tom" to go across the street with a fresh loaf of stretch bread for dipping. Bring it to any party and you'll be the center of attention.
- Vonda TaylorJuly 27, 2016Sausage and broccoli rabe is to die for! My friend enjoyed herWicky Wicky Chicken Riggies
- Linchi KwokJanuary 22, 2012I like the spicy tomato oil, but the some of the pastas seem a little bit too greasy for me. Overall, a very nice place to hang out with friends.
- Matt HomeyerAugust 8, 2012The pasta bar at lunch is delicious, quick and affordable. A must-go for anyone around Armory Square for lunchtime.
- Owen GotimerMarch 5, 2015Love the spicy tomato oil! There was a duck bacon pizza featured on Food Network which sounded dynamite!
- Jean CelsoFebruary 26, 2015They'll give you a whole roll of bread to take home if you ask for it right before your bill HA
- Brettlyn RobinsonSeptember 21, 2016The pink penne vodka was amazing! As well as the duck bacon pizza 😋
- Tanya MulveyNovember 6, 2012Love this place!!!! Long lines though and usually a long wait for a table bc the place is so popular.
- Tim SheaAugust 26, 2017Order everything. Don't stop, just keep going. Also, I always ask for a side of pesto, makes a great addition to any meal!
- I can't even tell you how the good linguine with basil and walnut pesto is. Order it!!
- One of my favorite places to eat in Syracuse. You should definitely try and enjoy endless amounts of hot oil sauce! Take some home with you if you can.
- Dave SilverstoneJanuary 28, 2012A long-lived Syracuse classic offers fine pasta dishes in a cozy atmosphere downtown, with hearty portions and reasonable prices.
- Edward OrtizAugust 9, 2015This restaurant and its lovely owner are responsible for triggering the renaissance in downtown Syracuse. This should be the first stop for visitors, not Dinosaur BBQ
- Sarah MooreOctober 23, 2016The food was delicious but the acoustics inside made it very difficult to here those I was sitting with and we had to almost yell across the table.
- Fernando P.October 25, 2012Call in advance to pick up dinner. They take awhile to make quality food. Their to go cups are kids size, bummer!
- Michele GrzegorczykNovember 18, 2013Eat here great food with hip atmosphere. The hot tomato is the best!!
- Get the pumpkin cheesecake when it's in season! So, so good.

- Holly DMay 30, 2016always dreaming of the spicy hot tomato oil 🤗 seasonal entrees usually good -- try the lamb!
- Sarah H.September 19, 2011Love the hot tomato oil. Just be sure to check the chicken...I've had a few experiences with it being under cooked.
- Andrew HOctober 15, 2013Wicked Meatball Riggies is a def' suggestion IF u like spicy. The bread; room-temp and stale. Seated in worst spot, despite being almost empty. Salad was one of my best.
- A SMarch 28, 2013The Wicky Wicky Chicken Riggies is actually spicy. It's also delicious. What's a little sweat while you eat between friends?
- Lauren WannermeyerApril 29, 2012The hot tomato oil and stretch bread is a given. But try their winter sangria!! Yum.
- Sterling Talob WatersSeptember 8, 2013Great burger if you're trying to swear off their addictive sauce...
- buffet lunch is always good. make sure you get hot tomato oil!
