Celebrating Life with You Since 1989The Spaghetti Warehouse Restaurant opened in Syracuse in 1989. The iconic full-size trolley was installed in one of our dining rooms with other interesting collectibles. Back then, it was common to see trolleys in bustling downtown Syracuse. Our historic warehouse building once housed the Amphion Piano Player Company. Later, the building housed Julius Resnick, Inc. a manufacturer of fashionable handbags with unique craftsmanship, artistry, and sophistication. Come to our Syracuse restaurant and indulge in freshly prepared American-Italian favorites like our incredible Warehouse Lasagna, our famous Spaghetti & Meatballs or tender Chicken Parmigiana. Sample one of our new menu items, such as our Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread, Pepperoni Pizza Logs, Sausage Carbonara or Vegetable Risotto, discover our version of a spicy local specialty, Chicken Riggies, or enjoy local beers from our rotating taps.We look forward to welcoming you soon!

    I don’t know where to start from the service, drinks, and the food was perfect!!!! Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations on food and drinks to get the coco Chanel, burkin, and gucci were huge hit at my table. We got a ribeye that was cooked to perfection with roasted potatoes and asparagus mushroom medley, the black truffle pasta was also another fantastic dish we tried. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know.

    For my first visit to Eleven Waters, a friend and I went to their Easter brunch buffet. We were very happy with it. The buffet was not quite as sumptuous as some I’ve been to but the quality of the food was very good and I definitely got enough to eat. The service was friendly and professional and the surroundings were clean and nicely set up. My friend and I had hoped our drinks would be included but I guess since we were having alcohol we had to pay extra. So, it did turn out to be a very expensive experience. We did appreciate the complimentary valet parking since we are both senior citizens with limited mobility. I will go back at some point in the future.

    Overall not a bad place before a show. Service was excellent...very nice folks. The food, while pretty good, could certainly have been considerably hotter. A bit pricey for what it is, but in certain situations, we would certainly try it again.
