Angotti's | Family Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Syracuse

Mr. and Mrs. Angotti Sr. are right from Sicily so you know you are in good hands! We have NEVER had an off meal in the many years my husband and I have been going. The restaurant has been around for ages... it is small; the dining room is the converted 1st floor of (I believe) their original house which has been turned into the restaurant. Sauce that even my Italian mother and grandmother loved which should tell you how good it is. Very reasonably priced which doesn't translate at all to small portions. We always leave with a doggy bag and we are good eaters. Expect a wait time on busy nights since the dining room is small and people do bring large groups. If an SU game is going on expect that you will run into a crowd since it's not far from the Dome. If you bring kids get pizza - trust me. For a small place I will say they do keep things moving so you aren't standing waiting in line that long. Seating is based on available tables so don't get miffed if someone goes ahead of you. They do serve beer and wine but there is no...

Waited 5 minutes to be seated. Once seated waited over 20 minutes to get a glass of water. Watched the waitress wait on people that came in after us and cash out people ready to leave with no kind of urgency. Once waited on, we sat for another 20 minutes waiting for our food. We did eventually get some bread which was stale. We had one person whom ordered a salad. Never got the salad until after she got her meal. Oops, I forgot your salad was all we got from the waitress. She told us she could take a dollar off the bill because she forgot it, or pay for it and have it boxed up. Took her another 10 minutes to bring us the bill, which when she came to our table told us she already given it to us. She had to write up another, because she misplaced it. She never apologized for the wait and once giving us our food,never checked whether we needed anything. Service was awful and I won't ever go back. I will also be sure to tell friends and family about my experience there. Food wasn't bad, but was not worth the wait or...

The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. I don't know why everyone is so high on the garlic pizza though. We thought it was fairly bland, and needed more garlic. It is pretty big for a "small" though, which I appreciate, and the crust is very good. The bread they bring to the table was soft and tasted fresh. The salad, however, was pedestrian. One slice of tomato, one cucumber, and 2 black olives on a bed of iceberg lettuce. Their sauce is what you expect to get at an Italian restaurant, and it's better than anything I've ever poured out of a jar. I liked the sausage and meatball, but my companion thought the sausage was too mushy and the meatball tasted like a spaghetti-o's meatball! We got there at 5:15 and just a few tables were occupied, but by 5:30 there were only 2 tables open, and people were waiting by 6. They don't really have a proper waiting area, which is a drag, and I don't know how wheelchairs get to the dining room. I would recommend this place for a date night or a place to...
