We made reservations for 2 at 4:30 on a Thursday and by 5 the dining room was quite full. Warm and friendly atmosphere welcomed us with bright smiles and quick escort to our table by the window. Beautiful Christmas tree, lovely decorations, and unique window dressings, (ours was A Nightmare Before Christmas setting see the pic). We had the light crispy tender calamari with all 3 dipping sauces, marinara, balsamic, and cocktail, all of which complimented the appetizer. Our waitress was nice and very efficient yet didn't rush us at all. We each had the garden salad fresh greens and romaine with tomato, olives, and cucumber and the house vinaigrette which was well balanced oil and vinegar. Fresh Italian bread, olive oil, and a dish of Parmesan cheese complimented the salad pre dinner. My Isaac's platter was tender grilled eggplant with sauce, homemade large ravioli, sausage, and meatball. I didn't grab a pic of the Cosmo Platter my co-diner had but there was none left on the plate and that says it all. I had leftovers to take home. Desserts sounded great we need to go back just for those. Still our favorite Italian sauce in town!

It is a lot larger than it looks from the outside. It was nicely laid out. We were placed in the rearmost dining room, which was quite spacious and comfortable. The server attending to us was very pleasant and offered some suggestions with respect to cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. Their version of the Cosmopolitan cocktail was interesting but not for me. I also had a Manhattan, and that was well made and balanced. I had a great Caesar salad. The dressing was excellent, the lettuce was crisp, and the cheese was great. My wife had the eggplant parmesan for her entree, and she loved it. I had a classic rack of lamb, and it was prepared very well. The portions were generous, to say the least. I would give it a try. The menu is large enough so that everyone will find something that they will enjoy.

4.5 Stars. I know my way around an Italian restaurant and and kitchen. This was solid. Had dinner with my son in September, the with son & wife in October. All good all around. Nothing ever got me out Liverpool way so I hadn't been here before & I've been to most SYR and Utica Italian joints.

4 stars seems about right, it was very good, nice family get together kinda place. met some family from town while i was in town, this isnt their usual place, but #2 in the pecking order. we started with their pizza bread, which was pretty good. i hadnt eaten for a while, but i knew dinner was around the corner, so only a piece of bread for me, speaking of which, do they not have bread here?? idk, maybe since we got a bread app? idk. i got the chicken fransice, which was very good. i would have LOVED if it was a bit flatter for consistency, but overall, very good. they did stick us in a room with a 12 top and another 10 top, needless to say, it was yelling for about an hour to communicate with the relatives, a touch out of our comfort zone, but i wouldnt say it prohibited a good gathering! if youre taking me, im going back....

I have been here three times with family and friends and always had a wonderful experience. My go to is the eggplant parmesan. Each time the eggplant parm had right amount of breadcrumbs and was not very oily. It was perfect. You do have to make a reservation but the staff appear to be very efficient and enjoy being seated in the room with the cozy fireplace. The ambiance is welcoming and cozy. You cant go wrong here!

My father in law knew something as an out-of-towner that we always took for granted: Syracuse was the Land of Plenty when it came to Italian restaurants. It felt like every time he came to visit, we would inevitably take him to yet another red checkered table cloth joint. But time and tide, and pandemics, and family succession planning, bring changes. The gone but not forgotten: -Aunt Josies -Critella's -Grimaldi's -Luigi's -Casa de Copani -Mother's (Liverpool) It's enough to make you cry in your chianti. But all is not lost, friends. Santangelo's is the real deal, delivering the goods since 1986. I finally got there this past week, though my wife has been several times (without me, but I'm not jealous. Well, maybe a bit.). Everything here screams "old school" in the best way possible. The almost labyrinthine set of dining rooms, the friendly, competent, funny and never intrusive wait staff. The kitschy Christmas decor still on display in early January. But most of all? The food. We started with a special app of fried goat cheese, a nice little ball with pesto inside, with a fabulous splash of house spicy tomato sauce. Totally swoon worth on it's own, but then... The seafood chowder: OMG this is indeed Valhalla. A creamy base, probably based on house made seafood stock, so much depth, and full to the brim with goodness. Our server quipped that she made sure there were "nice, big pieces in there". Seriously, one lobstah bite overflowed my soup spoon. For my main, the veal marsala was simply superb. Super tender veal cutlet, perfect sauce, more than enough mushrooms. My family members both went with chicken parm, and unquestionably, these were fresh chicken cutlets, one with house made pasta. The dining room was packed, understandably so, but there's enough carpeting and soft materials that it never felt loud, not even with a birthday of 10 seated close to us. A welcoming, warm place that keeps the Syracuse tradition of great Italian food alive.

This place is number one good cooking in Liverpool. Started off some drinks, and some nice warm bread n butter came to the table n when you're hungry that's a great way to start the table off right. I ordered my favorite specialty pasta Addie with added grilled chicken. A fresh tasting light sauce over pasta with peas n an attractive sliced grilled chicken breast over top. Whenever I go, I always think I'm going to get something else but I always get my favorite pasta instead! One of these days I'll try something else and I'm sure it will be very good. I ordered the chef salad with it with Balsamic Italian dressing instead of chicken pasta soup. They just do a great job here with entrees n even the salad, though I like a slice of sweet onion on mine theirs is very fresh tasting n different with added chick peas that says Italian to me. We sat in a booth the bar area n every seat at the bar was filled but the service was great as always. It was not overly loud with music for the bar area either but Just right. Kudos to a well run , efficient place n I wish we had more friendly, family places like this in town.

Always a great meal here! We started with some apps. Fried mozzarella, calamari, sausage stuffed mushrooms, and clams casino. All delicious. Dinner salads came and had a myriad of ingredients. All fresh and tasty. For dinners we had the chicken parmigiana and veal Raymo. We were full at this point, so we opted to take them home! The chicken parm was HUGE and was cut with a fork tender. The veal was stuffed with prosciutto, artichokes, spinach, and topped with cheese. Excellent! Our bartender/server was fast, friendly, and efficient! Very reasonable prices. Gotta check em out!!

I have lived in Liverpool for almost 4 years now and have never been to Santangelo's. I got a gift card from my father in law, so that kicked me in the butt to try them out! This may be one of our new favorite Italian restaurants in the area! They were pretty busy for a Wednesday at 5:30, but we were seated promptly and the waitress was great about recommendations and checking in on us regularly. We definitely felt like we were treated like family. We started with fried calamari, which was so crispy and came with three different dipping sauces! We also liked that the bread came with dipping oil instead of butter. My only complaint was that the bread wasn't warm. Since I have never been there, I decided to get a sampler platter for my meal. This came with eggplant parm, ravioli, ziti, meatballs and sausage. Everything was delicious and I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My husband also enjoyed his steak and shrimp entree. We will definitely be back!
