We went to Attilios on a busy Saturday night with reservations for 6 people. We were seated immediately in the bar area which was fine. The chicken Milanese excellent! Serving was plentiful and I took enough home to have for lunch the next day. Simply delicious! Our server was attentive, kind and efficient. No complaints! Attilios was full of people and there was a lively bar. I think this has become one of my new favorite places to eat. Parking is only drawback. If you're lucky enough to find a place to park you'll be thrilled with everything about this place! read more

My husband I have been there several times for birthdays/ wedding anniversary. The Food and the service was Excellent.

The nicest staff here! From hostess to server (John is amazing!) The meals were absolutely delicious from bread to dessert! Pasta, chicken, seafood were all perfect. Rivals the favorite restaurants we visit in North End Boston. Highly recommend. Can't wait to come back! Thank you Atillio read more

Attilio's - Italian Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I was excited to have lunch here because I had not been in years. When I worked downtown we would often go for special lunches. Not to date myself but I think it was Julie's at the time. I went with friends during the week at holiday time after attending mantles at the mansion just up the street at the Barnes Hiscock Mansion. It was busy but we did get a table. The atmosphere is classy with linen tablecloth and napkins. Fresh bread with oil and herbs for dipping were brought to the table. The waitress was spot on bringing water and a second round of bread and oil. I ordered the chicken rigis with vodka sauce which came with a side salad. Pasta was cooked perfectly with a creamy sauce. I would have liked some more spice and hot peppers in the sauce. It was not the best chicken rigis I've had but the service and ambiance made up for it. My friend had a salad with steak and I will be back to get that. I throughly enjoyed my lunch. read more

Old School Syracuse, love it. The food lived up to expectations.. I swapped the chicken for the Gianelli's sausage which rocked my riggi's.. The atmosphere was Nostalgic and the services was attentive, especially with our 8 person party...Attilio's is a must for those that like Italian. read more

Five of us girls went to dinner there to celebrate our friend's birthday. It's the third time we've gone there for a birthday celebration. The food was amazing. It's so nice in there and it's quiet and that they don't care if we're silly.The food was so good. Their Caesar salad is excellent. I had the carbonara risotto. It was amazing. Thank you for a great night. read more

We wound up here by accident. We were trying to go to a restaurant down the road and found out it was carryout only so we found Attilios! Our Server was lightning fast and very attentive. The food portions for the price was great. And just the fact it was hidden in the corner of an apartment building but had a very chic modern look but made you feel like you were 5 star dining. Overall a really good experience and would definetly recommend. read more

First time here today and I loved it. We came for lunch and each tried the soup specials. Delicious! The staff was so helpful and helped us only when it was needed. The ambiance was classy and cozy. I appreciated it was easy to park and just walk in. I look forward to coming back soon. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and amazing service! We made a reservation last weekend at Attilio's to host a family graduation dinner and it was fabulous! Everyone was very friendly and attentive. We called in ahead to have appetizers ready and the antipasto plate was beautifully presented, along with fresh, hot, bread with a delicious dipping sauce. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dinner selection. We will definitely come back again! read more

I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen in a few years for last minute dinner plans. The first restaurant we tried was closed for the first half of January so we drove to nearby Attilio's as a backup without reservations at 6pm on a Friday. The nice hostess said that the earliest time for a table was 8pm which wasn't an option for us because we had to catch a show at that time so she said we could find a spot at the bar and eat there. It wasn't promising since the bar was pretty much at capacity, also fully aware that Friday evenings are busy. When we went over to the bar we were lucky enough to catch a couple chairs as folks were leaving. I felt for the one bartender, skilled and efficient but the large crowd seemed like a lot. The ambiance is really nice here. Modern, refreshed and sophisticated. The last time I was at Attilio's was when they were located on North Salina and had a prominent old school Italian vibe a la Little Italy of Syracuse. The vibes here are sleek, nothing like the older location as far as decor. I've always liked Attilio's menu and food, so I was curious about what the food quality would be like in the present. Happy to say my Chicken Francaise ($29 for entree & salad) was delectable and pasta was perfectly prepared. The wine sauce had just the right amount of heaviness. My friend loved her eggplant parmigiana. The starting salads were fresh and crumbly blue is always a winner. Highly recommend Attilio's for a refined and special night out. Food and atmosphere are on point. While maybe a touch pricier than other comparable restaurants, the food quality, ambiance and service warrant it. read more

Cute little tucked away restaurant. The staff was friendly and the bread was delicious! I enjoyed my Paloma and The salad with the blue cheese crumble was great! I got a seafood pasta dish and it was yummy, heavy but yummy the creme brûlée was excellent read more

Another very good meal here. The steak, which I normally would never order in an Italian restaurant was perfectly cooked. I ordered it because it was accompanied by a rich marsala and mushroom sauce. On my next visit, the veal with the same sauce. My wife had the Pasta Primavera with loads of very fresh vegetables. The house red was a Cab. Sauvignon. Quite a good one too. It's really not expensive for the quality and the only reason I removed a star is that for me, personally, it is annoying to have a TV on the wall of a restaurant. Bars, yes. Restaurants, no! Nice friendly non stuffy service. All in all, a very nice dinner. read more

This place is alright! There is a great wine selection and the interior is great for a romantic dinner or birthday dinner party. They have a side room towards the front that I think can be rented out. My fiance thought about using this space to propose to me but they weren't as accommodating as Spoon & Chopsticks across the street so he decided on not having it here. They were formerly located at a different location but this new location is more modern. This restaurant is located on the 1st floor of Regency Tower apartments. They have valet parking (i think). This place has a really nice and modern interior. The lights are dimmer which gives for a more romantic/serious atmosphere but they have TVs all over the bar area which makes for a more casual ambience. I came 1 hour before they closed so most of the restaurant was closed off. There was no hostess to greet us at the front. I walked further in and she told us we could sit at the bar. What we ordered: 1. grapefruit juice 2. bruschetta (from appetizers menu) 3. sausage (from appetizers menu) 4. shrimp and scallops in fra diavolo sauce (from pesce menu)- this dish comes with a soup or salad. I chose the turkey soup. I had 3 soup options to choose from 5. orange crunch cake from their new dessert menu (which was written down on a piece of folded paper- I am guessing this menu is very new) We also had the complimentary garlic bread that came with olive oil sprinkled with crushed red pepper, herbs and garlic. This was delicious! There were 4-5 large slices of bread. I liked how warm/toasty it was. My soup wasn't very warm. I would have liked for it to be hotter. The sausage was just ok. It was just 3 large pieces of sausage with some sauteed onion and red peppers. The bruschetta was just okay too. The one I make at home tastes better and bruschetta from most other restaurants I've had tastes better. I felt like there was a bitter aftertaste from it and there wasn't enough basil. My favorite dish was the entree because I liked the spiciness of the fra diavolo sauce. I loved the giant pepper that was on the dish. You can choose to eat this sauce on other dishes too (just pasta or veal for example). For the scallop/shrimp dish, you can choose what pasta you want. I chose angel hair. There was a good amount of it it and it was cooked well. The proportion of pasta to sauce was perfect. The dish smelled shrimpy and tasted very fishy/shrimpy. The scallop/shrimp didn't seem the freshest. The dessert was presented nicely with a drizzle and some whipped cream at the corners of the dish. The cake was a bit heavy and was soaked in something sweet (maybe the amaretto). Overall, the dessert was just a-ok. The bartender/waiter was friendly and food came out pretty quickly. We had a Groupon that brought our bill down a bit. I would definitely come back and stick with the pasta dishes. read more

Fabulous dinner at this beautifully updated place. I hadn't been there since it was Julie's, and all the updates make this place look spectacular. The food and service are excellent, and it has a wonderful low key vibe. He music hey played was a throwback to the 60's and I felt like a kid going out to dinner with my parents. Will definitely return. read more

Attilio's - Negroni time! - Italian Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Work holiday lunch. We ordered ahead. So we all (15) got there at noon. Private room. These people were pro from start to finish. Service was fantastic. My cheeseburger was cooked perfectly. The fries were seasoned perfectly. Not one complaint from anyone at the table. I can't say enough about how impressed I was. Friendly. Attentive without being over bearing. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Met my son for lunch, he lives in the adjoining apt building. I had the encrusted tuna and the salmon over salad. Excellent tuna. Even the little things the veggies with it were not an afterthought, they had FLAVOR most places just saute them and that's all. The salads were the best freshest and most colorful Healthy dark greens top shelf. Too many Italian restaurants still haven't gotten away from the 1950s drenched iceberg lettuce. Place is nice, clean and crowded! Reservations advised. I will be back, I had their Italian at there old location and it was real good. Bar looked fun although I didn't indulge. Only knock is the neighborhood has a few characters. Not the restaurants fault, and not especially dangerous, but I'd be aware at least. Parking is in front of apt building & private so you should have no issues. read more

My new favorite Italian restaurant! We ordered chicken riggies and lasagna and they were both amazing. The chicken riggies had just enough heat and the chicken was very tender. The lasagna was cooked perfectly and wasn't soggy. It's located inside the Regency Tower building and they have an employee standing outside to help with parking. It was very busy when we went, but we got a table within 10 minutes. The service was prompt and our waitress was very nice and attentive. They have a great wine list as well as coffee/desserts! We ordered tiramisu and cheesecake and they were delicious. Everything was very reasonably priced for the quality. All in all, I would highly recommend! read more

Excellent service and food. Sesame crusted ahi tuna is soooo good. Love the bread and soup. So happy they are open again.

Our Attilio's experience was everything I imagined and better. We were seated right away without a reservation. Our waitress Maria went above and beyond to accommodate us. She had a great sense of humor and was so pleasant during our visit. We will be back, Maria is amazing! read more

Such a great atmosphere. Fun and casual while still being elegant and romantic. They feature awesome specials throughout the week, including FOUR soups every day! You can't go wrong with fried calamari or the giant fried meatballs for an appetizer! Choose from pasta, steaks, delicious chicken and veal selections, and giant seafood selections! Everything is so fresh and delicious. The sausage with hats entree (orchiette pasta with sausage and vodka sauce) is comfort food at its finest! read more

Visited last evening for first time. 6:30 reservation in Sat eve. Very pleasant, hard working staff (Dora, our waitress ) and Andrea hostess were both very accommodating. Ambiance is welcoming and seating away from bar area was appreciated. Unfortunately, acoustics last night did not help counter a table of 8 loudmouth inconsiderate young females about 20 ft away cutting up and being obnoxious. The more they drank the worse they got. Between their immature and irresponsible behavior, the other innocent patrons had no choice but to shout to hear one another. Then compound this with the increasingly loud overhead piped in music throughout the early part of the evening. Apparently some patron requested (or demanded) that management turn it off. Staff didn't notice it??? Tells you owner was not there. Needless to say it was not exactly the quality of experience I was hoping for. Then to make matters worse, the entrees were terrible. They employ a chef and accompanying kitchen associates that have no idea how to make an authentic, seasoned and edible spaghetti sauce. Couple the watery tasteless sauce with a piece of veal parmigiana that was tough and not fried semi-crispy ( i.e. soggy), the whole dining experience became exceptionally disappointing. Given that we were looking for a reasonably quiet, intimate and enjoyable dinner, it was further diminished by my GF's Veal Marsala entree, which was also barely edible due to its similar toughness accompanied by the same tasteless angel hair and watery pasta sauce. Unfortunately, she left half of it uneaten. She didn't even want to take it home to the chihuahua! Need I say more? However, it wasn't a total loss-- the raspberry cheesecake and coffee were acceptable. They came from an outside supplier or store bought. I was remiss in not politely expressing my disappointment and displeasure of the entire experience to management, which doesn't help them consider improvements, so I have taken to this forum to do so, hoping they read my review. We are definitely not inclined to return considering the aforementioned negatives, and especially when advertising a 16 oz prime rib with one side for $50 as a special??! Lots a luck with that! As a fellow entrepreneur, I regret I couldn't find something more positive about the evening and establishment. I know it is a very difficult business today, more than ever, especially during this pandemic. But c'mon folks, I am sure you can do better!! read more

Went today for lunch and it was solid all around. The fried meatballs were large and filling. With that much meat I think the sauce has to be plentiful and unique and I wasn't disappointed at all. Well, maybe a tiny bit disappointed... but only after the calamari came out with the same house sauce. Would've liked something to differentiate the two sauces but certainly not a deal-breaker. The calamari was tender, crisp, and not overly breaded. I ordered the chicken ranalli entree. Angel hair pasta, sauce, peppers and onions, and two chicken breast medallions. It was delicious. I felt a little disappointed when it came out because the peppers and onions in the description are what drove me toward that selection and there was one pepper strip and just a couple pieces of onion that I could see. Once I cut it all up and started digging in I forgot all about it and was very pleased with my choice. Limoncello gelato for desert was perfect. Tart and creamy and just the right amount. I would both recommend and revisit. read more

Place is great. We went completely underdressed and unshowered and got great service, no idea what anyone else is bitching about. The lunch is an awesome deal - soup or salad and a large entree for 8 bucks. We each upgraded the soup to a bowl ($2) and it was gigantic. The soup and bread alone is enough food for lunch, and then you get an entree on top of that. Chicken riggies, lasagna, and crab florentine soup were all good. Atmosphere is nice too. read more

I may be sharing with you all Little Italy's hidden gem! My siblings and I threw a surprise 35th Anniversary party for our parents at Attilios this week. I cannot say enough about the venue, the staff, the quality of the food, the fair prices and everything that went into it. I have had many wonderful dinners here before and the quality does not change even when working with a larger party. The general manager was so flexible and helpful with our needs for setting up, planning the surprise and carrying out a wonderful evening for all our guests. I would definitely recommend Attilios for lunch, dinner or a larger party! read more

Five stars all around. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. The bread and oil was outstanding. If you like a slight spice, then attilios chicken riggies is the choice for you. If you don't like the spice, then any number of their dishes will be delicious and you can't go wrong. We get the Utica greens as well and they tasted like they came right from Utica. Hot darn they were the best mix of light and tasty. read more

Dinner was very good! The bread at the beginning comes out warm with a plate for olive oil. We shared the hot peppers appetizer and it was really good and really spicy - great sauce to also dip the bread in afterwards! I had tortellini with pancetta and shrimp and asked to substitute the Alfredo sauce for pesto. It was really good. My friend has a salad with salmon and liked it as well. My only issue with the dinner was our server seemed really distracted - she had multiple tables and forgot a few things - we ordered second drinks and they didn't come for awhile because she forgot and I ordered shrimp and she forgot. There was about 20 minutes between sitting down and ordering because I think she had several tables. I am definitely going back! read more

Love Attillio's. It is my favorite Italian place in Syracuse. The ambience is very nice, the staff is great and the food is very good. My favorite dish is Haddock marinara made fra diavlo. They spice it up with Long hots. Ther is also a greta dish not on the menu that the owner Lou created. Ask for Lou's pasta. Little half shells with a delicious slightly spicy meat sauce . Its unique and very tasty Great place for a business dinner or just eat at the bar. read more

We went there on a Sunday evening in April, about a month after they opened. Attilio's is in the site of the former Antonio's in Little Italy on Syracuse's North Side. The restaurant has been decorated with crisp white linens that are a bright contrast against the darkly painted walls. Service was attentive and professional without being overbearing. We started with the Antipasti DiLusso, a combination of assorted cheeses with roasted peppers, olives, soppresata and prosciutto. Warm Italian bread was also delivered with an olive oil plate to dip it in, it was delicious. I had a NY Strip Ala Marsala, a fine piece of steak cooked perfectly medium rare topped with mushrooms and a Marsala sauce. My only complaint is that the steak was not seasoned, it really didn't have much flavor. The meat was tender but tasted bland. My fellow diners had some of their Italian specialties, Tortellini Alfredo, Pistachio Farfalle and Chicken Riggies. They all loved their dishes, especially the Chicken Riggies. I tasted the Alfredo and it was tasty, very creamy and made me wish that I had ordered it instead of my steak. All in all the food and service were good. The drinks are pricey for Syracuse, expect to pay $10+ for a cocktail. I liked the variety of the menu items, which can be difficult to find in this area. I would try Attilio's again, but I would stick with an Italian specialty the next time. read more

Atmosphere is old and a little stale. Tight quarters. Small restaurant and feels cramped. Has a victorian/funeral type feel. They start we very good olive oil with, diced garlic, parmigiana cheese, basil and oregano on side to mix in. Bread is warmed and served in loaf. Ours was not hot all the way through. Brian is a great server. The others are average and uninterested. Tomato and fresh mozzarella was great. Salads are mixed spring greens and have lots of different stuff but not a lot of anything. 1 black olive, 1 slice of cucumber and few tomato wedges & chick peas. Ordered chicken riggies easy hot peppers. Was very spicy. Was not served hot. Chicken parm was lacking mozzarella cheese. The red sauce is average. Good Italian food, but there are places that are better. read more

What a failure. When the bread, not baked in house is the highlight of the meal you have yet another absent owned restaurant in Syracuse. Firstly, this place is adorable, the bar anyway. Second, the Italian, fake tan female bartender is unfriendly and does NOT know how to make simple, classic cocktails like a Sidecar. Third, service leaves a lot to be desired, one sloppy waiter. Forth, the "food" and prices. For what they serve they should be ashamed of themselves for what they charge. My meal was gross and cold. My deep fried pork chops (the menu says baked but I am telling you they were DEEP fried) still raw in the middle. FAIL. The side of awful pasta, awful. No starch, flavorless and COLD. I for one will never step food in this place again. Do your research people. read more

yes. This a great place for a martini and they have great bar food. Great for a Saturday night. I love their fried asparagus. I've also enjoyed the salads, spaghetti Bolognese and calamari. Who doesn't like to eat outside in warm weather? There's ample parking and plenty of outdoor seating here. read more

Was looking forward to eating here someday & I wasn't disappointed. The food & service was excellent! Great Italian bread served with oil. Salad was delicious. Had Lemon Crumb Haddock with Glazed Carrots. Outstanding. Server was very nice. Love the new decor. So light & friendly. Recommend highly. read more

Ordered 2 chicken dishes and they tasted like take out Chinese. Pasta tasted microwaved but the bread was good. Good staff.

Went to Attilio's last night for dinner. We were a party of 4. Had a drink at the bar and sat promptly for dinner. We had the 16 oz veal chop, the veal Oscar and another veal dish. Food was absolutely outstanding. Server was attentive and very engaging, can't wait to go back! read more

We are so glad that we ordered our New Year's Eve dinner from Attilio's!! After seeing a post on FB I perused the menu and decided that the family meals were the way to go. We ordered 3 family meals: chicken riggies, chicken parmigiana, and cavitelli. The woman who took our order was very pleasant. Everything was ready at our requested time. The trays were still hot and the bread warm after the 20 minute ride to our home. We upgraded to antipasto salad and are glad we did so. We had enough for lunch and dinner the next day and it was fresh and delicious. My family really enjoyed the parmigiana and the cavitelli. The riggies didn't go over as well. We requested them with vodka sauce and received them with the marinara. Also the kids love my homemade riggies, so they compare all others to mine. We have tons of leftovers (I definitely over ordered), as the amount of food was very generous. The ciabatta bread was also a hit. Each family meal came with a bottle wine. We look forward to ordering from Attillios's again in the near future. Great food, great prices, great service!! read more

My wife and I and three relatives had dinner here. We found the restaurant very comfortable and nicely decorated. The food was excellent but beware that the portions are large. One of our party is a vegan and the chef made a dish on the menu (Red Pepper Penne) without the cheese. I had the Attilio's Pasta, a dish of Orecchiette pasta tossed with prosciutto and spicy marinara. My wife had the Chicken Francaise. Our dishes were excellent. The meals were served with fresh, hot bread and olive oil to dip the bread in. read more
