Seby - L'Osteria — Restaurant in Syracuse

This is by far one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The service was exceptional — the waitstaff were incredibly attentive, warm, and professional. The setting, especially the garden, was absolutely beautiful and added so much to the overall experience.

Most importantly, the food was outstanding. We started with the seafood platter, which was fresh and full of flavor. The tortellini filled with grouper was both delicious and unique — the combination with pistachio was unexpectedly perfect. The meat was cooked to perfection, well-seasoned, and incredibly flavorful.

A special mention to the young waitress with straight black hair who kindly walked me to the bathroom — such thoughtful service is rare and deeply appreciated. Another waiter with glasses was also especially kind and attentive.

We were truly delighted by our experience here. If we ever return to this town, we already know exactly where we’ll be dining. Highly...

Best meal of our trip so far (5 days in). We were late arriving, but they held our table, which was nice. We were seated in the courtyard, surrounded by crumbling columns covered in ivy and huge potted plants under a clear, starry sky. Hard to beat, the setting. Food was good, although the shared antipasti that was meant to be seafood of five kinds turned out to be five other things (caponata, some cheeses, some breaded baked peppers, etc). For our mains, we had fish (sea bass, swordfish) and the roast beef, and they were all delicious. The tiramisu was decadent and boozy, the pineapple tart, very creamy and delicate. The espresso was strong and flavorful. Service was slow, but friendly and pleasant. Most importantly, they welcomed our dog, so they’re pet-friendly to boot. An altogether great...

We happened to snag the last courtyard table on a night when every other restaurant seemed to require a reservation or they were vegan/vegetarian.

The courtyard was GORGEOUS! Service was simplely perfecto and the food is to die for.

We ordered the stuffed anchovies, branzino, pistachio pasta, canoli, and peach custard desert. The house white wine was super fruity and refreshing but also not too sweet (if you're reading this please tell me what it was). Branzino was fresh out of the pan and super flavorful! My only complaint is the potatoes it came with were a little cold and under seasoned.

Would highly recommend! This was also the best canoli we've had on our trip...
