Pastabilities

I was here a year ago - introduced by a friend. The food was amazing. I’ve been waiting a year to come back and experience it again. The pasta is the freshest I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve had a lot of pasta. The food is absolutely exquisite. The service is great and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. I definitely recommend this place for a great dining experience and you will too.

Even with a full house, the atmosphere at Pastabilities was relaxed and comfortable — easy to hold a conversation. Service was prompt and attentive; we were never left waiting. If you love pasta and sauce, this is the place — everything is expertly prepared. I had the duck flatbread and the roasted carrots from the appetizer menu. The flatbread was perfectly balanced, with duck on every slice and great flavor. The carrots were a standout — nutty, roasted, beautifully presented, and could easily be a meal on their own. First time there and I’ll definitely be back.

I always love eating out in Syracuse- so many great restaurants! Pasta here is the absolute best and I crave it! The stretch bread is positively amazing and I always buy one to go. The texture and the stretch- it is unreal! I got the carbonara pasta dish and it was out of this world. I can’t wait to go back! The bartender was so sweet too- very attentive and made sure we knew the happy hour specials. So nice!!!!

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!

Basically, this trip ended up being filled with awkward disappointments. It’s hard to feel good about the experience when you walk in and are immediately directed to use an app to place your order. It feels impersonal and transactional. The server barely engaged with us beyond pointing us toward the digital system, which made the whole experience feel cold and disconnected. On top of that, the one item we specifically came for — the duck bacon flatbread — wasn’t listed on the menu. The food itself was decent, but the service left a lot to be desired. What makes a restaurant memorable isn’t just the food — it’s the hospitality. Here, that element felt stripped away. The dishes were simply dropped off with minimal interaction. It felt more like a system than an experience. For a place that many people consider a destination, the atmosphere and service didn’t match that reputation. Waiting to leave, you might as well go the the counter to get a to go box. You’ll wait for a while otherwise. The wicked meatball sub was the best part of what we ordered.

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!

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.

Me and my husband went out for dinner for our 2yr wedding anniversary and we were excited to try out the food. We authentic Italian food before and were hoping to have this experience again . This was our first time trying this place but unfortunately the food was not so great . This was definitely Americanized Italian food. The chicken parm was one of there specials but it was dry and provide you with 2 huge chicken breast and my husband had the garlic spaghetti noodles and he stated it was just to much garlic . Idk maybe it was just not for us .
