Ron, Lynn and their staff (Bruce & Linda were on-site) were all professional, courteous, friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding food was perfect!

I would highly recommend either Flying Pig Roast or their sister company Creative Catering for your event. You won't be disappointed and you and your guests will be extremely happy. Such a great team to work with!

Service was so prompt and nice, and being able to order straight from your phone and pay/being able to walk away easily after was super convenient. I got the Meatball Riggie Turn Down (side) since I wasn't super hungry after traveling, and I definitely recommend this as a lunch portion - the side size was really filling and still pretty big. The meatball was incredible (and large) and the sauce of this pasta, while it had a little heat to it, was well seasoned and smooth. Great chill place with an awesome playlist of oldies music and the opportunity for indoor and outdoor scenic views.

A bit of a tough meal for the family here. Food between 4-5 stars, ambiance 4-5 stars. Wait time…read moreand service 2 stars. Let's start with the good! The bread and spicy tomato dipping sauce was an excellent complimentary starter. All the pastas we had were excellent as well. The table all argued for their own, but I am writing the review so the broccoli, walnut, garlic oil pasta was obviously best. The wait was not as good (5:15 entered name on wait list, told to come at 7 and table ready around 7, waited outside until 7:52 to be seated). The service was friendly but very slow as well. They talked up the bread (rightfully so), but then took 25 minutes to bring it, with the drinks taking almost as long. So all in all, if you have the time, definitely worth it. And know going in that it'll be slow. If not, may need to look elsewhere.

NOTE: I had no…read moreidea the quality of service, as I left it up to my staff to find the appropriate caterer for my event. Well, my staff didn't disappoint, as usual, and neither did Diamond Catering. There are only two other reviews, and both with five stars. As much I tried to find reasons not for five stars, I could not. They truly do deserve five stars, and here is why. I will admit that my event was extra challenging, as catering was ordered last minute, and we had a number of hoops to jump through. That being said, the staff was very flexible and accommodating. They were never upset or fussy with our last minute challenges. Instead, they did exactly what we asked. How about that for change? So, to the food. I wanted the participants to have a great full breakfast, awesome lunch, and nice reception with open bar in the end. My staff ordered, and they provided exactly that, and the response from the meeting participants was "two thumbs up"! I won't go into too much detail, but the breakfast was full of fresh fruit, potatoes O'Brien, hickory smoked bacon, maple sausage, assorted pastries, and best of all baked egg strata with a very nice cream sauce, not too mention plenty of coffee, which tends to run out quickly in an event full of techies. Lunch was well, just as awesome. Cider Mill Salad, smoked gouda mac and cheese, roasted veggies, vidalia chicken, bourbon beef brisket, house rolls, cookies and brownies. I didn't get to try all, as I was so busy, but I will say, one attendee came up to me and said, "These brownies are fantastic. This is one of the best brownies I've every had." Well, I couldn't try them, since they were all gone, but I guess that shows you how good everything was. I would use these guys again, anytime I am back in Syracuse. Not just because of the quality of the food, the decent price, but mainly because of the flexibility when it came to their service. Anyone looking for a really great caterer in Syracuse, especially if you are in a bind, look these guys up. They are fantastic! Sorry, limited photos as was ultra busy all day.

While we waited, we grabbed drinks at the bar. I had the spicy jalapeño marg, which was solid. For appetizers, we got the deviled eggs and a sample of the macaroni salad. The deviled eggs were so good, I was shocked. For dinner, we had catfish, brisket, turkey collard greens, mac & cheese, jerk wings, and cornbread. The greens, catfish, and wings were fantastic. I was extremely impressed. The brisket was a little tough, but that wasn't a deal breaker. We grabbed the cheesecake for dessert, and enjoyed every bite.

It's rare nowadays to have a restaurant owner personally welcome you and discuss the menu with you, and that immediately made the experience feel special. While we waited for our table, we enjoyed drinks at the bar, and the cocktail selection was amazing. The dining room itself is on the smaller side, but that makes it feel incredibly homey, intimate, and welcoming--perfect for a special occasion. Once we were seated, our server was outstanding. They were so kind, attentive, and knowledgeable, especially when explaining the different steak options. Shortly after sitting down, we were brought warm bread with the most amazing honey butter. It was seriously so good that we had to order a second basket! For an appetizer, we ordered the bacon-wrapped shrimp, and it was outstanding. The bacon was perfectly crispy, the shrimp were delicious, and the dipping sauce brought everything together so well. For dinner, I ordered the Delmonico steak, and I cannot recommend it enough. It was incredibly juicy, cooked perfectly, and had the most amazing crust on the outside. We also ordered Daniella's mushroom sauce on the side for the table, and my entire family loved it. It was rich, savory, and tasted incredible both on the steak and over the mashed potatoes. Speaking of the mashed potatoes--they were extremely creamy, garlicky, and basically everything you could ever want in mashed potatoes. We finished the night with the crème brûlée, which was also outstanding. I especially loved the beautiful sparkler candle they bring out for celebrations--it made the evening feel even more special. Overall, Daniella's truly has it all: incredible food, amazing service, a warm and intimate atmosphere, great cocktails, and an owner who genuinely makes you feel welcomed into their restaurant. As someone who is new to Syracuse, I'm so happy I discovered Daniella's. The entire experience went above and beyond, and I'm already looking forward to coming back for my next special occasion. Highly recommend!

Her timing was perfect, and she even kept us updated when there was a slight delay with our food.

We finished things off with the chocolate mousse cake, which was excellent as well. At the end of the evening, the floor manager stopped by to thank us, and his sincerity and graciousness really capped off a great meal. Daniella's has such a quaint, intimate setting with a very professional staff. Charlie really puts out a great product in such a small setting. Knowing him from the old days; and seeing all of his fun Facebook skits promoting Daniella's, I'm glad we finally stopped by to enjoy a meal ourselves. Charlie is one-of-a-kind! A great anniversary dinner and a place we'll be happy to visit again!

When my son's game at a local indoor center ran over by almost 30 minutes, I called and told them we would be late. They accommodated us and seated us immediately upon arrival. About 10 minutes later, at 8pm, the live music started. It was wonderful music, but where we were seated was in front of the speakers and two of our party wear hearing aides. When it looked like we were going to have to cut our celebration short, our server, the wonderful Marcy, and another gentleman, worked to get us seating in the lower dining room in front. We were so grateful for the accommodations, and everyone was super nice about it. The food and drinks were outstanding, of course. Our party ordered the chicken bowl, the chippy chicken, the curd burger, a cheeseburger, and the turkey avocado. Everyone was silent as they ate! The service was friendly and impeccable (even when we really weren't being easy customers), and our night, which could have gone south so quickly, was made! And hopefully a younger, hipper crew moved into our table and enjoyed the wonderful music! The band was great and we really enjoyed it still from where we ended up! So cheers to the staff at AG! We will be back (and know where to ask to sit next time! Haha)!!
