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!!

Another very special dinner with friends & spectacular service, superior food & great atmosphere. Welcomed by our host Peter to a very special evening.

Four of us visited Nestico's for the very first time on a recent Friday evening. We were seated quickly because the party ahead of us must have left. The menu was large and had many offerings from classic Italian dishes to rack of lamb which one of us had. Our waitress answered all our questions with ease and she was extremely knowledgeable about each dish we inquired about. A bottle of water and a tall glass of ice resided on our table for filling and refilling our water glasses. We all thought this was a great idea and surely must save the waitresses time and the patrons frustration from having to ask for refills all the time. The other 3 dishes ordered were veal parm, delmonico steak and spaghetti pie. All the dishes were very good and I should mention that the dishes that came with a side vegetable had a bonus in that the vegetables were cooked perfectly. No mushy overcooked veggies here! We're planning on visiting again soon to try more delicious offerings.

Their food is delicious. I have to eat gluten free, and they are always very accommodating. Today I had Seafood Rosa, and they substituted gluten free pasta so I could enjoy my favorite meal.

The existing menu has outdated pricing. I just uploaded the current menu as of September 2025. Prices were higher than expected for lunch ($22 for the pasta pie). The food was good, solid, not exceptional. The Utica Greens were a bit too acidic from what seemed like too much vinegar, and was otherwise tasty as expected. The pasta pie was solid, but the sauce was rather ordinary. The service was very good.

Food was very good - 1 x filet, 1x salmon, 1x steak frites and 1x soup/salad. Portion size was reasonable for the price point, which really isn't bad considering market prices these days. The seafood bisque was delicious! The risotto- very good!!! Service was great as well. Will be back for sure.

Great family atmosphere. Lots of people talking and laughing and enjoying good food. My chicken and pasta was delicious. Super juicy and tender. Drinks from the bar also a hit. The waitress was busy but still had a great, friendly attitude. Food also came out timely

Disappointing experience with this reopened restaurant. My husband and I went a few days ago. Although the atmosphere is nice and our server was great, the food and pricing were less than desirable. We were charged $30 and $40 for our entrees. I chose the chicken riggies. I was not able to eat it as the chicken was hard. No idea how you make hard chicken but it was a complete turn off. My husband ordered a seafood dish, which was served over undercooked pasta. We mentioned this to our server who said she “would let her manager know.” For the price of the entrees (which does not include soup or salad), one might have expected the manager to come over to speak with us. Unfortunately, we won’t be back. Too pricey for less than mediocre food.

Disappointed in the service and food. Our waitress seemed to be doing her best and was very nice, but we felt (a table of 6 who arrived at 4:30) the the service was slow and we had to wait a long time for food. Some dishes came out piping hot, a few of ours were warm at best. They did not have milk or apple juice which were supposed to be available. The bill for 6 adults and a 5 year old with drinks and 4 desserts was $400. You would think with the lack of availability of a few things and a complaint of overcooked shrimp, perhaps something would have been comped, especially since 1 of us hardly ate anything and chose not to bring the leftovers home. I don't know who's running this place but we won't be back, unfortunately.

We started going back to Nesticos this summer. We had a couple of great experiences. Recently we went for dinner and had a bad experience. Our food took an hour. When we did get the food, it was not good. My salmon tasted fishy and the rice dish was unbelievably salty.

Food was overpriced for small portions. Nothing to write home about. Service fine. They seem a bit snooty for graffiti all over the side of the building. I guess it's supposed to be but I think it is just a horrible blot on North Syracuse. People who think murals are pretty on the side of buildings are nuts. And this one is just creepy.
