Best Lunch Restaurants in Utica

We really enjoyed going to Andiamo pasta and chops. The food was fabulous! The service of the food was also fabulous and fast. It was more expensive than I expected, we spent $150 for three with only one person having alcohol. It was a very busy place and our waitress was a bit frazzled trying to keep up. The noise level was pretty high, that wasn’t a result of exuberance but because of acoustics. We will definitely go back, but probably not on a Saturday night. And we will expect to spend the amount we did. 

We went back for the second weekend in a row to continue my daughter’s bday celebration. The service, drinks and food were excellent. Highly recommend the hash and the holiday sugar cookie martini! Lauren from this week and Erica from last week are amazing servers. The manager Donna was also great. Looking forward to going back soon!

Hi Da Francesco Team, Thank you for another great evening. Food was great and really enjoyed the live music! Our server Austin did an excellent job. So nice talking with Mitch and Janelle (really very nice & fun people). Mike & Catherine

Our waitress, Bruna was one of the best I have ever experienced, a truly beautiful person. Our food was fantastic, Oso Buco and a pasta dish were both awesome. The ambiance is usually awesome but on thin night they were set up for a special high attendance celebration, even though it is a beautiful room. We have a connection to the chef, so came out yo greet us too. It was a wonderful experience snd we will continue to visit!!

It doesn't look like much but it is FABULOUS. My wife didn't like our first table. The hostess tried very hard to find another table, but they were so full she couldn't help. However, our darling server suggested we could move to the Pizza Bar which my wife loved (after I found her a high top chair that didn't wiggle (it was actually the uneven floor, but Quien sabe?!?1). After we got seated, she who must be obeyed, perked up. Our server was fabulous as was the Pizza chef who was a charming young man. The salads were fabulous especially the Caesar (Caesar himself would have been taken aback....minus Brutus that is, if you get my drift...) She had the salmon and Nis gadol hayad sham (on this day a miracle happened there}, she can't stop talking about it. I had the Gnocchi with marinara sauce and shrimp....Heavenly. If you want to have a fabulous dinner give the Verona a try
