DOWNTOWN. Downtown workers in business suits dine beside leather-clad Harley riders at this ribs and barbecue joint. The Dinosaur is a Syracuse institution, beloved by all. Favorite "palate igniters" include the fried green tomatoes and the catfish strips. Lunchtime entrees include a pulled-pork sandwich platter served with macaroni salad and tomato and cucumber salad, while dinner diners tend to favor the pit-roasted chicken and ribs, served with your choice of two sides. The Dinosaur hosts live blues several nights a week—call ahead to find out who is performing.

DOWNTOWN. A pressed tin ceiling and low lighting immediately soothe diners who enter bc's front door. Multiple appetizers and salads are available, and any may be ordered in a double portion to serve as your entrée. The lump crab cakes are especially light and flaky, and the lobster salad with goat cheese and shiitake mushrooms is a unique taste sensation. Entrees include a beef tenderloin wrapped in apple-bacon and served with broccoli raabe, and garlic and thyme-crusted striped bass served with roasted tomatoes, wilted spinach and truffle mashed potatoes.

NORTH SALINA. Veal and seafood are the specialties at this festive Italian spot, located in the up-and-coming North Salina area of Syracuse. Clams and mussels are available with a variety of sauces and preparations for appetizers. The house signature entrée is "scamppollo." A boneless chicken breast is stuffed with jumbo shrimp, smothered in secret recipe sauce and baked. The owner's favorite dish is Veal Nicholas. There are several pasta and vegetable dishes to satisfy vegetarians, and charbroiled steaks are available for the "meat and potatoes" crowd.

DOWNTOWN. Angotti's is one of those restaurants that the locals love to keep secret from visitors, because the lines are already out the door. You can make a reservation if you have over seven in your party, otherwise arrive early or prepare to wait! Murals of Italian cities decorate the walls of the dining room where vinyl covers protect the tables and stacks of paper napkins wait to mop up errant gobs of tomato sauce. Every basic Italian favorite is on the menu, along with a few more sophisticated choices. If lasagna, linguine and clams, eggplant Parmigiana or baked ziti seems too mundane, try the calamari over capellini, stuffed rigatoni with spinach and cheese or the tender veal cacciatore served over angel hair pasta.

DOWNTOWN. This cozy bistro is located in bustling Armory Square. Its fifteen tables are dressed with crisp white linen, which contrasts with the rough red brick of the walls and the unadorned wooden floors. Rather than your usual lasagna and baked ziti, Dante's offers creative Italian dishes such as calamari with mango and rum and flourless lasagna with Yukon gold potatoes, smoked Gouda, artichoke hearts and roasted tomatoes. The wine list has bottles in all price ranges. Homemade desserts include the excellent "fallen angel"--a flourless chocolate torte, and lemon tart with pine nut crust.
