Welcome to The Preserve at 405

Located in the heart of Syracuse’s Inner Harbor, The Preserve at 405 is where industrial roots meet modern comfort. We’ve designed a space that serves as a true 'preserve' from the everyday—a place to gather by the fire, share a stone-fired pizza, and enjoy an elevated take on American classics. Whether you’re here for a casual happy hour or a milestone celebration, our mission is to provide an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and like home.

Meet the Owner

The Preserve at 405 is proud to be led by Gino Barbuto, a name synonymous with leadership and community commitment in Syracuse. Many know Gino from his decades as the owner of East Syracuse Chevrolet, where he built a reputation for excellence, integrity, and a deep-rooted passion for giving back to the community he calls home.


While Gino has been a partner at The Preserve since its doors first opened, his transition to full owner marks the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for the restaurant. He is trading the automotive world for the culinary one, bringing that same "community-first" mindset to the heart of the Inner Harbor.


Gino’s vision is already fully in motion. He has expanded the outdoor patio seating to create the ultimate open-air dining experience, continuously enhancing every detail to evolve The Preserve into Syracuse’s premier neighborhood destination. For Gino, this isn't just a business—it’s an opportunity to create a space where the city’s history and its future meet over a great meal.


We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the next chapter of 405.


A Note From Gino:

"A restaurant should be more than just a place to grab a bite. It should be a sanctuary—a spot where you can pause, gather, and truly connect over a great meal. For us, hospitality isn't just a service; it's our way of taking care of the community that we love so much. Welcome to our table."
