    Wood fired scallops
    Nik H.

    We went back to see if our second visit would be as good as the first. Well, it was. The service was as good as our first time. Our waiter was a a riot and was very attentive. The ambiance was as nice. The details haven't changed from our first visit. Plenty of room and space for everyone. We started with the charcuterie board and the whipped ricotta and focaccia. The board was the perfect size for 3 people. The quality of the meat and cheese was excellent. The star of this visit was the entree that my wife and I split. They had a 34 ounce bone-in ribeye steak. It came with some marvelous twice fried fingerling potatoes. We ordered some sautéed broccolini as a side. It was literally one of the best steaks I have ever had anywhere. Best of all, we had leftovers! If you haven't tried Abbiocco by a Mano yet, do so.

    I had never went to A Mano, so I was extra excited to try Abbiocco. We went for a coworkers' going away dinner. They were accommodating with the time & large amount of people, but not as attentive and engaging as l had wished. Nonetheless, the happy hour wine deal $6 - woo! We started at the bar, watching the restaurant quickly become full. Was not a Thursday so we couldn't have the exclusive gnocchi, I opted for the "Ragu di Agnello," lamb, SO tender and flavorful with the mint - many got pizza, which looked amazing especially with the stone fire oven. An intimate date night to split some apps & dessert is necessary, as we got the bare minimum. I will absolutely try again!

    I was in town for business and was hungry but not starving so I wanted to grab something semi lite. I walked by this restaurant and it appeared like a comfortable spot. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a Pear & Thyme Martini from the drink menu. Between the bar tender flirting overtime with two young girls at the bar he asked for my order. The drink was good not great. The pear flavor was almost absent and the vodka was not smooth enough for the pairing. The honey thyme flavor was well balanced. I decided on two appetizers. The Caprese Burrata, and the Calamari with Lemon Aioli. The flavor was great in the Caprese salad. The tomato was flavorful, the burrata was fresh. The plate barely had any basil and was missing that flavor. The balsamic glaze was great. Overall it was the star of the meal. The calamari was okay. The calamari was slightly overcooked and chewy and had slightly too heavy breading. I didn't ease any seasoning or flavor on the calamari. But the lemon aioli and balsamic glaze was amazing. I mean you could put it on cardboard and it would be the best ever! As I got carry out, I was rather surprised that there was no napkins or cutlery included. Oops. Overall it was an okay experience. If I would have dined in I would have asked them to add more basil and replace the calamari.

    Zozzona
    Jacob M.

    Very loud restaurant. Was hard to hear the person I was sitting next to. The service was fast, but the menu is very small and most options you can't tell what it is without looking up Italian. Unfortunately, the food was the worst part. My Zozzona was hot, yes, but the sauce was incredibly acidic and there was barely any sausage. And for the meat that was there, it was in such small pieces that I couldn't tell whether it was sausage or bacon.

    Cacio e Pepe
    Ted K.

    I had a great experience here. It's a little hard to find as the entrance is off to the side as opposed to directly facing the street. The ambiance is a little difficult to describe. The tables are well spaced apart, the ceilings are high, the lighting is dark, but it still feels comfortable rather than trendy or upscale. The wait staff wears t-shirts and everyone was extremely friendly. Not as pretentious as some of its peers. The polpette are fabulous. Had the Cacio e Pepe which is definitely al dente (which I love) and was delicious. I felt it was far superior to LaLaLu's version which, while more showy (prepared tableside) was not as al dente, and was pricier. The Cacio e Pepe was hard to eat gracefully though, so not the best idea for a first date or if you're sitting at the bar. I had them bring out the polpette and the Cacio e Pepe at the same time which I'd recommend as the marinara sauce with the polpette contrasts well with the pasta sauce. I'll definitely come again!

    Sweet Potato Tortellini
    Jillian H.

    Started with fresh bread and Old Bay butter! Crazy good. Had the sweet potato tortellini for dinner it was absolutely amazing! The pasta is fresh, sauce is unique, and potato filling was light and fluffy. Rhubarb tart - fresh cream, delightful crumble and tangy rhubarb made an absolute perfect ending to a stellar meal.

    Gnocchi stuffed with Ricotta

    A Mano Kitchen and Bar was a conflicting experience of, that's incredible to, that's made really well but I've had better. I'll make this clear there was nothing bad, not remotely, maybe it was the hype or the prices on the traditional menu that was swaying our opinions. We went for dining week, which is amazing that they participate in because it gave us an opportunity to try so much we otherwise would be hesitant to because of total cost. A Mano itself is really beautiful inside, a great spacious layout with unique designs. Music is playing loud enough to hear, quiet enough to easily converse with your table. Our server was pleasant and attentive, and did his job well. I was impressed that after every course they cleaned everything up and gave us new silverware. For drinks a wide variety of choices of cocktails, wines and beers. Everyone who had a drink enjoyed them. The food, this where mixed positive reviews start coming in and I'll go course by course. The complimentary bread, very soft and fresh, the butter with it was different than a traditional butter, but not our favorite. I used the delicious bread to soak up the sauce from my appetizer. I had the Polpette and this was hands down the best restaurant meatballs I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and the flavor of the sauce left me wanting more. The Caesar salads were very fresh and well made. Someone order the special goat cheese appetizer and they adored it. The main dishes. I had the Gnocchi stuffed with Ricotta and they were cooked perfectly, they nailed the texture. I was underwhelmed by the flavor profile of the sauce they were in. Making it a simply enjoyable main. My wife had the strip steak and again they cooked it to perfection, underwhelmed by any flavor. It needed more of a favor punch to put it over the top. The twice baked potatoes that came with it were very good. Those that ordered the Cavatelli were in love with it. I got to try some and again cooked to perfection! This time with the sauce having flavor that makes you go wow with each bite! Someone also ordered the pepperoni pizza and they said it was good, it's pizza. The desserts, the deconstructed cannoli with orange ricotta and the lava cake. Both were very nice. We weren't a fan of the orange flavor but you can't knock it for accuracy, it was well executed and a fun take on the traditional version. The lava cake was very good and they used peanut butter in it which was a preferred twist on the traditional. Overall A Mano is easy to recommend, everything was good to great. I want to give it another try to have the opportunity to be fully blown away. I do encourage you to check the menu for pricing and to reserve a table as it's very popular and will easily fill up. Enjoy!!

    Talk about good food, service, and, ambience. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend we were visiting in Syracuse. We bellied up to the bar and were served by Mackenzie. He treated us with kindness and shared with us all of his favorites on the menu. This will definitely be a place we dine at when we are in town!

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Abbiocco on Warren Street in downtown Syracuse. They just rebranded, but we had been to the former restaurant. Our server, Michael, was great. Great personality and explained the items on the menu. We started with calamari. We both had different homemade pasta dishes, a bread pudding which is the best we have had since London and after dinner drinks. It was an awesome dinner, everything was delicious, service and great company.

A little advice, try to make reservations before 7 PM because the restaurant gets very crowded later in the evening. The complimentary focaccia bread was absolutely delicious : soft, fresh, and full of flavor. We shared the mozzarella triangles as an appetizer, which were excellent. For my entrée, I ordered the pecan-crusted salmon salad and it was amazing. My lady bug had the ravioli, and so did snore bug , both really enjoyed it. Our waiter was outstanding: bubbly, attentive, and made the whole dinner even more enjoyable. The ambiance was vibrant and lively, perfect for celebrating after graduation weekend. Another plus is that the restaurant offers complimentary parking with several parking lots available nearby. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and would definitely come back!

I do recommend going to an earlier dinner there, as it gets very busy after 6:30. The service was lovely, very timely and I never felt rushed. Our server was very informative about the menu and answered every question I had. After ordering drinks our server let us place our appetizer order and informed us that after we were done with the app, they would start dinner for us. We got the bang bang calamari as an appetizer. Cooked beautifully. The calamari was not rubbery and the breading was crispy. Well seasoned and not overly spicy. Soups and salads were brought promptly after the appetizer. We never had a crowded table, very lovely service. I got the side Cesar salad and my partner got the Italian wedding soup. The salad wasn't a plain Cesar salad, it came with red peppers and olives. The soup was hot and tasted lovely. We used the bread that came with a tomato sauce in the soup as well, good combo. For dinner I enjoyed a filet mignon topped with garlic butter, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and added 3 scallops. The filet was cooked perfectly! Very tender and melted in my mouth. Scallops were cooked beautifully as well. Everything was seasoned to perfection. For dessert we enjoyed the chocolate lava cake topped with a raspberry ice cream and chocolate drizzle. The chocolate lava cake wasn't very lava-y however, that didn't ruin my experience. I was weary of the raspberry ice cream, as I usually don't get a fruity ice cream. But it was very pleasant, the raspberry wasn't overwhelming and complemented the chocolate cake. Highly recommend Francesca's always! And I'm excited for the summer when they open outdoor dining again. All in all, I enjoyed my time. But I must add this restaurant is priceyyy. But hey, you get what you pay for.

We went during the week so it was a quiet afternoon and we were seated immediately. We started off with a bottle of cab and their fried gnocchi and meatballs for appetizers. Wasn't able to get a picture of them as we dug in very quickly. They were both delicious and the marinara they use for sides is very flavorful and smooth. My boyfriend got the lasagna and I got the chicken cutlets with a side of pasta with their diavolina (spicy pink sauce). Both were fantastic and I loved the diavolina sauce, just the right amount spicy and very creamy. It went great with the chicken cutlets which were the perfect crisp. The owner actually came out to check on us throughout our dinner which was a nice surprise and was great to meet him. Love to see new restaurants on Westcott and look forward to trying other items on our next visit.
