We made reservations ahead of time, because they can't guarantee a table even on a Thursday night. The dining room is not large and they are a very popular restaurant. We are always greeted warmly and we were seated promptly. Our server,Kim, was extremely attentive throughout our meal. I had the French Onion Soup and it was delicious. The broth was richly flavored with just the right amount of salt, a nice amount of onions and crostoni...and the cheese on top, swiss and provolone, was broiled. Many places just melt the cheese but broiling gives added flavor. My scallops were cooked nicely and my baked potato was huge. My husband had the Chicken Marsala with red mashed potatoes and vegetables. He finished everything and said it was perfect. They make their desserts in house so I had the Butter Cake a la mode and my husband had the Chocolate Mousse, both were excellent.The owner, Charley, was walking around the dining room and talking with his customers and it seemed like many of them were regulars. We have Never been disappointed with the service or food.
What a Gem! We were told by friends to try this place out. It's small with but has amazing atmosphere. We traveled to the area from mass for soccer and promised we'd go. The food was amazing! We ordered 3 different cuts. NY strip, sirloin strip, and filet were all cooked to ordered perfection. Highly recommend the Au Poivre steak topping. The stuffed cherry pepper app was something to write home about. Kim was our waitress and she was the best. She was pleasant and attentive and made us feel welcome. Will be recommending to all we know traveling to the area. Can't wait for the next time.
Daniella's has quickly become our favorite restaurant! We went there Saturday night, didn't have to wait long for our table and were treated to a delightful evening of excellent food and great service. It has a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The 3 of us had filets done to perfection with garlic mashed or a baked potato and a side of sautéd vegetables. Warmed bread with honey butter accompanied the dinner and we shared a delightful Caesar salad. thanks Charlie for a great evening, we'll be back soon!
Wow. Another great Yelp find. The food was amazing as along with the service. I wish I could provide pictures but the ambience was very relaxing and dark so a flash would have been needed and did not want to bother other patrons. Do not judge by its outside looks; by that I mean it is attached to a hotel. I did not ask but going to assume it was part of a mom and pop hotel that ended up selling to a bigger name place, but the restaurant stayed. Would recommend reservations as the inside is intimate and if you show up you may have to wait. In warmer weather there appears to be seating outside, but not for the winter
The food was excellent! All you can eat crab legs on Thursday was the best birthday dinner I have ever had! All of my family are still talking about how delicious the food was and my chocolate and peanut butter mousse cake was amazingly delicious and I just loved my huge sparkling candle I will be back for sure! I must add that it was just so nice the next day the owner of Daniella's steakhouse called me to make sure that my experience with them was wonderful
It was our first time at Daniella's last week and we weren't disappointed. We were too busy enjoying ourselves to take pictures, admittedly it was also too dark inside to take photos. I had a filet, their garlic mashed unbelievable. The owner is incredibly welcoming and staff was friendly. We'll be back
We have been here and their sister restaurant a few times when we come to town. It has always been exceptional. Tonight we ordered the scallops, strip steak and our daughter the linguine and sauce. The scallops were out of this world and my husband and daughter enjoyed the steak and linguine. For Syracuse, this is an extremely good restaurant. A must try.
A wonderful surprise of an experience inside a Best Western. Very intimate setting with exceptional service. Dinner was truly outstanding and a romantic decor. Soups are full of flavor, including French Onion and a New England Clam Chowder special. The calamari steak is a must have on the regular menu for an appetizer... Best I've had since Hawaii. The seared tuna special was seasoned and prepared flawlessly. For the entrée, they do justice to lamb chops with blue cheese. Dessert is worth saving room for. The peanut butter mouse was thick and filled with chocolate and nuts. The bread is not something to be overlooked. Fresh and hot with a sweet butter cream. The attentive care and attention from the wait staff is what you'd expect from a Manhattan level institution. This will definitely be a stop on my next trip up this way.
It's been a minute since we grabbed a bite at Daniella's Steakhouse and it was the obvious choice for a little birthday celebration- we love the old school vibe and mood lighting. We both got the filet, but we opted for one Daniella's style which comes smothered in saucy mushrooms, and the other Au Poivre. Both were insanely delicious. Order the creamed spinach for the table and ask for extra cheese. You won't be disappointed.
I was very excited to try Daniella's as I entered the small but well appropriated space. The dim lighting set a very intimate mood. I had heard so many positive things about this place and all of it proved true. Misty was our server and she was exceptional, anticipating our every need. I ordered the pork chop, as well as the house salad. Both were outstanding. The house salad was large and included roasted red peppers, and chickpeas, Something you never get on a house salad. The pork chop was enormous, but I did good work of it and finished every bit. It was so tender. I've never had a pork chop like this before. my husband ordered the steak Diane and he said it was the best he ever had. We realize that between the service and the food at Daniella's. It was much better than other so-called fine dining restaurants in the area. I am glad we made reservations as this restaurant is small. I think this will become a favorite of ours. To top it off, a few days later we received a phone call from the owner Charlie Roman thanking us for dining there. No Charlie, thank you for providing us with a wonderful evening.
