Laci's Tapas Bar

I went here as part of the first stop on a Bachelorette outing in Syracuse, and there were 6 of us. I had never been there but based on reviews and what I could find online I took a leap of faith and it worked out better than I could've expected. I made reservations through their website, which was really easy and they promptly got back to me and asked if we had any special requests. When we got there, they were very helpful in making us feel welcomed and explaining their menu and the best way to approach tapas for the novice. I think everyone was a little skeptical that we'd get enough to eat for dinner, but by the end of 3 rounds of ordering (which is expected and encouraged) we were all contently filled. They have a great selection on the menu, the service was great, and the prices quite reasonable. This place has a great ambiance! I'd love to go back next time I'm in town!

Enjoyed the food. 2 people shared 6 tapas, each had a drink from the bar and dessert. Plenty of left overs and the bill was $101 before the tip.  The service was good (could have been a bit better. Kind of felt like they'd dump a tapas on your table and run). Overall, a very enjoyable evening. They also have a bar where you can sit. Recommend reservations, although we were seated right away but it was early on a weeknight.  They have several gluten free items for those who are looking for that! I can't give it 4 stars because of the service.

Laci's is a local tapas bar with a warm and welcoming ambience. The service is friendly and accommodating. The owners are usually circulating, checking on service and making diners feel at home.

The restaurant has the layout of an old Syracuse City home with an eclectic feel. I recommend making a reservation as the location is relatively small. There's a full bar, a few high top tables, and a number of tables for various size parties.

The food has improved since the last time I visited. In the past, I found the tapas to be hit or miss, sometimes lacking quality. Last night, all of our choices tasted fresher and more homemade. Bonus: the server explained that the produce is purchased local whenever possible. She highlighted the asparagus which was delicious - tender and grilled to perfection.

As a party of four, we ordered a total of eight tapas to share, each of us selecting two that stood out to us personally. I won't talk about each one, just highlight two favorites:

Mediterranean Flatbread, which included artichoke hearts, chickpeas, spinach, and roasted red peppers. The flatbread was cut into perfect bite-size squares, each with the right amount of toppings and melted mozzarella.

Bruschetta with Lemon Basil and Honey Ricotta, a unique combination of flavors and textures that was unexpectedly delicious. It was borderline dessert-like but still suitable for dinner. I savored every bite of the toasted baguette and creamy, lemony ricotta, drizzled with honey.

This is definitely a hot spot to meet with friends or your sweetheart!
