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!

    This was my second time visiting Eden. I so enjoyed the first time, I had to go back! My daughter and I went for dinner last night. We ordered drinks from the mixologist who surprised us with very yummy cocktails. We started with appetizers which was the beet salad, and it was delightful. We also had the mushroom toast, absolutely one of my favorites. Then a house salad. We ordered the strip steak with hearth smashed potatoes, Chimichurri, Kale, Creme Fraiche. It was so tender, moist and full of flavor! Our dessert consisted of Lemon tart, my favorite and Blueberry Panna Cotta. " OMG so wonderful"! One thing that made this restaurant a great hit for me, was sitting at the bar, discussing menu favorites with other guests and making new friends. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

    Was happy they had a Velentines Special. Been awhile since we’ve been there. Always nice to have a valet service! Everyone was very pleasant… Shelly was our server and she was super attentive. The manager, Greg was very pleasant and working to make sure all tables were being serviced and things operating smooth. Our food was enjoyable… I had the Rack of Lamb and was very happy; wife enjoyed her Filet. Hope they catch some momentum and keep this going… it’s such a nice experience….
