Nestico's - North Syracuse

Pretty quaint and delicious place. Not too big, feels very intimate inside. The menu was just big enough, not overwhelming. And It seemed there was something for everybody. I had the special. The salmon Oscar over rice and It was fantastic. Cooked to perfection! The waitress was so sweet and quick too. This is a great place for a date night or casual dinner. The lemon mascarpone was so good too. No cheesecake, but this cake hit the spot.

Went here for Valentines Day with hubby on the recommendation of a couple friends. They were busy, as expected on this particular holiday. We had reservations and were seated very promptly. Took a little while to have our server show up, but I give them a pass here considering how busy they were. Ordered our appetizers and meals, then they brought out some fresh bread that was warm, soft and very tasty. Appetizer of fried calamari arrived quickly and was honestly the highlight of the meal; the calamari rings were crispy, tasted great, and the dipping sauce was yummy. No complaints there. Then the wait began for our entrees, which took about a half hour to arrive. I had the chicken parmigiana and hubby had a filet and shrimp scampi risotto combo. My chicken was a little over cooked, and I was not a fan of the red sauce. Hubby ordered the filet medium but it arrived very well done. He said it was a good cut of meat but not seasoned at all. He did really like the shrimp scampi risotto. We passed on desert. I'd give them a second try sometime on a normal night, but really the busy holidays are when you'd expect them to be on top of their game.

We love Nesticos. The food, service and prices bring us back time and time again. The staff here are so nice and the service is excellent. They offer a nice variety of dishes and the price is extremely reasonable. This is our go to restaurant. We will return!!!

Nestico's is great! We have been there and ordered delivery and with every order we are happy. Nestico's has one of the best meatballs in town. Had the meatball sub recently and I couldn't have happier taste buds and tummy. Their Arincini is a must have appetizer, that cheesey fried rice ball is a perfect appetizer. Not to mention that marinara sauce for dipping is drinkable by itself! The fresh bread is fresh, nothing special about it or the butter but wait!!! It's the perfect bread to soak up whatever sauce you have leftover, that's the move to make, trust me! My wife got the eggplant tonight and she was extremely happy with it. It was a great meal once again. I highly encourage you to Enjoy!!

2 stars is a bit harsh, I wish Yelp would do half's. I went here for dinner for the first time in many years. This place was packed but they got us a table right away. Service here is excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was ok. My mother wanted to eat light I guess so she ordered a French onion soup. She said it good. She then ordered the calamari. I tried some and it was average. If there is no tentacles and only rings, that's a bit of a red flag. I had fillet mignon that came with a shrimp risotto. I asked for medium well and it came rare. We waited an hour for our entrees so I just ate it and didn't say anything. It was bland, I had to put salt and pepper on it. The risotto was was also underwhelming. I'm guessing it was just an off night because it was slamming in there. I'm willing to give it another chance.
