This was our first visit and we'll definitely be going back !!! Food was wonderful, appetizer we had were meatballs .the taste was fresh and very tasty. Main course was solid. My wife had butternut squash lasagna and it was Terrific. Wonderful mixture of tastes. Highly recommend. Desserts we had were a gingerbread cake of sorts as well as Cannoli cheesecake. Omgosh amazing!!! Wait staff were very friendly,eager to provide great service. We went foe our wedding anniversary and our server made accommodations to have candles placed on our desserts. The owners daughter was working and even as busy as there were she made time to come over an answer a couple questions I had. Please do yourself a favor and stop in . Strongly suggest making reservations in plenty of time. I found i had to book mine out about a month ahead of time. This place is a Hot spot for sure. Koodos to Pastabilities Apologies for not snapping shots of the food. I'll do so at my next visit

The Vegan Meatballs are awesome and the Pesto Fredo has to be one of my favorite pasta dishes ever! Went for lunch right when they opened and there was no wait to sit down. Good vibe and super friendly staff

Fantastic food, friendly and attentive staff, and beautiful lighting. I highly recomend a reservation for dinner here as we were seated immeadiatly, and others without reservations were on a long wait list. Parking was also VERY difficult here, so account that into time to arrive. Overall it was a fantastic experience with tons of pasta and sauce choices! Highly recomend.

This restaurant is a true gem. The pasta is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s easy to see why this place has been around so long. A wonderful spot for anyone who loves authentic, delicious food paired with genuine hospitality. Highly recommend!

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.

I finally tried Pastabilities last night for the first time and I cannot believe I waited this long. We had a 5:30 Valentine’s reservation and got there around 5:25. They seated us immediately, which already felt like a win on such a busy night. They started us off with their bread and the famous hot tomato sauce, or “Hot Tom” as they call it, and it was unreal. Truly one of those appetizers you cannot stop eating. I ordered the angel hair pasta with the 50/50 sauce, half Hot Tom and half house pasta sauce, and my partner got a burger. The food took about 25 to 30 minutes to come out, but once it did, our waitress immediately acknowledged the wait and let us know that it is not typically that long. She even gave us a free dessert on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. We got the cannoli cheesecake to go and it was incredible. The pasta was immaculate. The flavors were bold but balanced, and the sauce combination was perfect. The service was genuinely top tier from start to finish. Even on Valentine’s Day, everything felt smooth and welcoming. Safe to say I will absolutely be back very soon. If you have not tried it yet, you need to.

I heard a lot about this place so I had to come check it out. I was told a 25 min wait upon arriving but I luckily I was seated within 5 minutes. I went for lunch which is a more fast, casual style. It’s a super easy ordering system - you just scan a QR code, order, and pay right on your phone. Service was great, and staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Food was amazing, portions are a good size (plenty for leftovers). I got the daily lunch special which was an amazing value. Although I would probably skip the tossed salad and order another salad option. The spicy hot tomato oil appetizer is a must if you go! They also sell them in tubs to go, and across the street at their bakery.

Everything was fantastic! The espresso martinis were good but the forbidden fruit was total class!! The pizza burrata was delicious and the hot tom sauce was so good, we ordered extra and even put some on the burrata. The pastas were great too, especially the chicken riggies with meatballs. Definitely swinging by next time I’m in Syracuse.

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!

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!
