Abbiocco by A Mano - Syracuse (NY)

2 /5 Yulia Shavrina: The staff here were absolutely lovely—warm, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. I wish I could say the same about the food. Unfortunately, it was… a disaster. Everything was excessively greasy, and the pizza tasted oddly sweet, almost as if someone sprinkled sugar on top. It didn’t just miss the mark on authentic Italian flavors—it felt like a complete misrepresentation of Italian cuisine altogether. For a place claiming to serve Italian food, it somehow managed to strip away everything that makes it special. Friendly people, yes. Good Italian food? Not even close.

5 /5 Tom Gasparini: My wife and I had dinner there last night for our four year wedding anniversary. It was our first time eating there and will most definitely be back! Nikki was our server and she went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top notch. She did an amazing job and was very attentive always ensuring to check on us. The food was delicious and amazing and Nikki made the experience an excellent evening and made our evening out which stood out as one which was truly far beyond and better than service you typically experience anywhere else! Highly recommend both the restaurant and the waitress Thank You so much!

5 /5 Dave Braun: I love this restaurant. They have hosted meetings for me in the back room, I’ve been to some big birthday parties, had some intimate dining experiences, and often get takeout. The menu is great!

4 /5 Dnrothx: Took my wife here for part of her Christmas present for both of us. Food is quite good -- and thats not just going by Syracuse standards. Place was half full or more and noise level was fine. Only little knock is that our server disappeared on us for a bit. Had she not, we would have had time for dessert. That said, the support staff we had were laid back and a lot of fun. Very comfortable atmosphere that treads that line between being either too casual or too hoity-toity perfectly. Will be back.

3 /5 Carrie Luther: I brought my friend for her birthday dinner earlier this week. We started with a Prosecco at the bar. Bar tender friendly. 615 reservations seated shortly after we chose the high top seating when booking reservations. No other patrons were seated in the area. We were delivered menus and water promptly we luckily still had our Prosecco’s. No one checked on us for at least 25 minutes. Our glasses were empty and we were waiting on ordering drinks and appetizers. A waitress finally arrived she was very pleasant and listed specials. We ordered a pomegranate martini a pear and thyme martini, Arancini and a misticanza salad. Shortly after Focaccia was delivered with a blueberry butter. The blueberry butter was interesting twist, May have been appropriate with a brunch or charcuterie. Arancini was hot and delicious, best item we ordered. The misticanza salad never made its way to our table, just forgotten. My friend liked the Gnocchi served with sausage, small portion for the price and other Italian restaurants offer choices of meat or seafood. No seafood on the menu at all except for calamari, disappointing. The menu is very limited and doesn’t have many of the meals I had viewed on apps when choosing location. I had the Bolognese which was awful. I’m not sure what the Mystery meat was, supposed to be veal, pork, and beef, I can’t be sure what it actually was and the sauce was not any better than Prego. Even the left overs I brought home for my BF were thrown away still wondering about mystery meat he thought it tasted plant based. Once everything was served we were pretty much left unattended for long durations. A young man did bring us boxes. But we had to waive help down for an additional wine and to see dessert menu. I specifically noted this was for my friends birthday at reservation and dessert menu or suggestions were not even offered without asking. When we finally received the wine we ordered there was lipstick on the glass. The dessert menu has nothing without nuts, except for an Espresso ice cream. At this point it was just a flop of a choice for a celebratory dinner. The ambiance was nice, staff was pleasant but close to non existent service and meals were less than mediocre at best.
