Syracuse, N.Y. — A starter at any restaurant can set the tone for the entire evening.
Over the past year, our food writers (Jared Paventi, Danielle Benjamin and Charlie Miller) dined at more than 75 restaurants. If those places had a starters list, we dove in. We wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we didn’t. Right?
The following are our favorite appetizers from spots we visited in 2023. Now, don’t get upset if your favorite restaurant is missing from this list. Remember, these are places we wrote about for syracuse.com and The Post-Standard. We don’t review every restaurant in Central New York every year.
