“I ordered dinner tonight for pickup. The food was great as always. The staff is so friendly. To the delivery guy delivering tonight. Be careful. It’s nasty out. Roads are icy. See you guys again soon.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Joey’s @ 307. From having dinner there for the first time about a year ago, to falling in love with their food and having them cater my wedding, everything they do is amazing. Truly the best chicken parm and chicken marsala I have ever had. They made the entire process easy and stress free (which if you’ve ever planned a wedding you know does not happen often!!). They made sure my husband and I had our own food first to make sure we ate, and made us out own to go meal at the end of the night. Every person I spoke with there was incredibly nice, helpful, and funny! Matt and Kathy helped make our wedding day perfect! Thank you guys again ?“

“Love this place!!Another fine tuesday meal at Joes!Thank you all!!!“

“Hidden gem! Delicious food & great service. Choices are endless, they work around your eating restrictions that you may have and provide you with suggestions. Owner is friendly and wants you to feel welcome which is very appreciating. Will be back and recommend it to everyone!“

“The best Filet steak sandwich around!!!! Also love their Chicken Daniele!“

“My family ate at Venturas on Tuesday; my husband ordered the steak which I was seriously so impressed with that I just had to drive back there tonight to get a takeout NY strip for me (I did share with my husband too). AGAIN, very impressed! Perfect seasoning and tenderness which i have not had since eating at a Ruth Chris in FL! I love their bread with the Pesto in the oil! Nice touch. Thank you“

“Best upside down I ever had!! My favorite go to!!!“

“We enjoyed our first visit here tremendously.

It’s not a conventional restaurant, but genuine family style Italian. It had multiple courses (I counted 7 including an ice cream sandwich dessert - the only thing that wasn’t made in their kitchen) all of which were excellent quality and flavor. We had a group of 10. The thing about Trattria Calabria is that it’s the menu of choice of the chef. All 6 dinner courses are decided and served by the staff.

Danny is the owner and enjoys interacting with his customers serving, talking, joking, and even poking fun at them from time to time.

A course by course breakdown would be a bit much, but I will say that the bruschetta and eggplant were my 2 favorites of the meal. Having said that everything was amazingly good.

It is a BYOB restaurant, so we brought wine. They have ice water and iced tea.

Reservations are required and if you’re not comfortable with the family style, chef’s choice, you might get made fun of by Danny - then it’s probably not for you. Our group absolutely loved it and we will be back.“

“Excellent food and service reasonably priced will be back again“

“Great. Place good food and drinks friendly staff“

“Just tried a grandma’s slice. It was very very good. Some of the best pizza I’ve had around in the area.“

“I can’t speak highly enough of the food and service we received here! I’m allergic to wheat, the server was really knowledgeable when it came to food allergies. The gluten free riggies were incredible, it’s been weeks and I’m still thinking about this meal.“

“My family and I loved this little place. Stopped by here on a whim traveling through town, and were pleasantly surprised. Subs, pizza and pasta were all great, and the staff was excellent, especially the front of the house. Inside was small, but clean. Only knock is no public restrooms, but I get why they wouldn't be open. Would definitely recommend this place!“

“We just had an outstanding Dinner with Appetizers ... huge portions with excellent flavor! Excellent service! Very clean and comfortable We would highly suggest having dinner here, I know we will again!!!“

“I live in NC these days but whenever I’m here a dinner at The Willows is mandatory. Not only is the food exceptional but the staff is great.“

“I got the best pizza! My neighbor got gluten free, extra cheese garlic and she said it was the best! My mom and I got dairy free cheese and it was the best! The kids said that it was the best also! Our favorite pizza place!“

“We love the view, the food, the Owner and the Placemat & Menu with Local Advertisers. Everything is Simply the best.“

“Great customer service and delicious pizza!“

“We love Nostros! Always a good vibe, consistently good food, fun music ,great staff. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5...their wine pour needs to improve. 4 oz for 17 bucks in Utica..no This is not NYC. All their pours are poor..😏 atleast go 5 oz or lower your single glass price a tad. Cocktails delish.“

“prova i cannoli ✝️👸🏿 -Nonny“

“Best antipasto bread in all of Central New York! 😊“

“I have eaten their food for years! Always a worthy stop. The best Tomato Pie.“

“food is absolutely amazing, the calzones are absolutely huge. slices are hudge. all the food is worth every penny spent.... never disappointed“

“The pizza, fries, and garlic bread were all delicious. The staff was very friendly and the overall feel was very comfortable with everyone in a good mood. On top of all that the prices were good as you get alot of food for your money, I'll have leftovers for a while. Thanks again!“

“This is our go to place for special occasions or when we want to treat ourselves. The food is always great. Everything is homemade. The service is impeccable as well. Whether you want a steak or classic Italian dinner this is one of the best places in town.“

“Easy on line ordering. Placed an order whilst on the road to pick up when driving thru Herkimer. So easy and delicious. Would highly recommend. Easiest, most convenient thing ever. Busy moms dream. Thank you“

“Good very good except one time I ordered baked ziti and the sauce was watery and I think because they didn't take the water out of the macaroni as good as they could of so it made my sauce soupy.. other than that it's a great place to eat“

“We ordered the pizza and wing special, it was excellent!“

“We made a stop at Paesano's for lunch while heading from our campground to the Erie Canal boat ride. What an amazing place! My husband ordered wings, while two of us opted for small subs and two chose large subs. Our total was only 60 dollars, which included 5 sodas. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, and the large subs were enormous! The wings were crispy and delightful! This is a fantastic spot, and my husband and I will surely visit again when we're in the area! We highly recommend this place!“

“A great place to grab a bite. I recommend the sports bar portion of the restaurant. Always have good service over there and never a complaint about the food. They even made my steak just the way I like it. Highly recommend.“

“Asked if I'd recommend. Well... I didn't want to hit no because maybe it was just an off day with the chef. Everybody has one. Husband enjoyed his Chicken Parmesan, Utica Greens were good (1st time eating them). My Chicken Salvatore was dry and hard. Not enough sauce to even try to soften it up to make the dish enjoyable. Way overcooked. I guess the green beans and mashed potatoes were good. Might go back to see if it was just a fluke. Might not.. who knows.“

“Good place to get a bite to eat. Wings are good. Pizza is under sauced and not that good. My pie was cut into squares, which was unusual and not asked to have it that way. Service is good, but don't feel welcomed in any sense but not bad.
Great atmosphere for dining in and great support for kids and schools!!!!
