Avicolli’s Coal Fire – Fayetteville

Fayetteville gets traditional Italian cooking, with a twist, at Avicolli’s Coal Fire, a restaurant in the village east of Syracuse. It’s the newer sibling of the original Avicolli’s in Liverpool, which opened in 1983. This Fayetteville location followed in August 2019, and it’s a sit-down spot for dinner out in the Syracuse suburbs.

The menu leans on fresh seafood and steaks, with appetizers and salads that go beyond the usual. Burgers are made with 100 percent black angus beef. A pastry chef handles dessert, turning out creme brûlée, lemon ricotta pie, tiramisu and cannoli.
