Syracuse, N.Y. — The longtime home of a Syracuse diner is about to see new life as a training center for a nonprofit company that provides substance abuse and mental health services.

Helio Health plans to renovate the two-story building at the southeast corner of North Salina and East Laurel streets that once housed Serpico’s Diner for many years and later Barbieri’s Italian Diner, according to plans filed with the city. The North Side building has been vacant for the past couple of years.
