Cafe CaNole Bakery & Restaurant

The family meal deal we had last night was a decadent treat! My picky young kids loveddd the riggies, meatballs, and caesar salad! We got the most delicious and well made pastries as well! They always check all the boxes! The service is alwayssss fantastic, space is homey and clean, it is a special place here in the mohawk valley! Thanks to this family for being such a wonderful staple in the community.

what's not to love about this place ! Food is absolutely 💯 all the time, the staff is on point with every aspect of the dining experience. The bakery? just can't get enough of the sweet treats. A+++++++++

5 Stars – Incredible Wedding Cakes & Pastries!

Cafe Canole made our wedding cakes and Italian pastries, and everything was perfect! The cakes were so fresh, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about them. We had an amazing selection—rum cake, chocolate Godiva cake, and cannoli cake—and they were all delicious.

The service was outstanding. They delivered everything to our venue seamlessly. Dean, the owner, was so kind and genuinely excited for us. He gave great recommendations on flavors and quantities, making the whole process easy and stress-free.

If you’re looking for amazing desserts and top-notch customer service, go with Cafe Canole!

We ordered mini pastries for our wedding last month and let me tell you—there was only 1 cannoli left over at the end of the night. You simply can’t go wrong with Café Canole’s pastries! Dean is such a wonderful person to work with and truly makes you feel like family. He was one vendor I didn’t have to worry about at all. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking for the best Italian pastries for their wedding or any event!

An Amazing experience, beginning w the exuberance of frnds & family enjoying life. An appetizer was ordered, aftwds our main plates arvd. Each plate was artistic & delectable to the palate, and each bite was filled w Passion, Love and the

Very good food but so unpleasantly noisy in there that table conversation was nearly impossible -- no sound dampening anywhere in the room. With many good restaurants in Utica (esp. Italian), no reason to return.

Nice looking setup for inside dining. Just grabbed something quick and easy for weeknight takeout. Easy to order. Great service picking up. Will definitely be back to enjoying the atmosphere as well as more food.

I have had the pleasure of eating at many restaurants in Italy. This is, truly, not just on par with but actually above many of those wonderful places. But beyond the phenomenal food, what makes Cafe CaNole special is the people who work there. The chefs have an intense passion for their work, and it’s visible in the care they take with every detail of the meal and service. The waiters are kind and prompt. The bartenders are skilled and fast. Do yourself a favor and eat here. You won’t regret it.

Cafe CaNole is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. They have amazing menu options with a good range of vegetarian-poultry-fish-meat options and then have specials as well. The drinks are also very original (and tasty). Everyone’s food tasted amazing and the servers are always so friendly and helpful. The portions are also quite big which is great for leftovers :)

I've been to Cafe CaNole twice now and it won't be my last! The portion sizes are huge, the whole table was in awe with the sizes of these dishes. Just look at the size of these fish tacos ? The flavors were great, the service was fast, the servers were friendly—everyone at my table had a great time! Also, the bartender really knows how to make a good pistachio martini ?

This place really needs to adapt to the patrons. Portions seem to be getting smaller each visit while the prices sky rocket. Since their is no drop ceiling, it is loud and unable to hear person talking. If you are looking for cozy, relaxing atmosphere this is not it. Everyone is sitting close, it is loud, will sadly not be visiting again.

We had a fantastic dining experience at Cafe CaNole for our brother's 40th birthday dinner. With a party of 13, including eight adults and five grandchildren, the staff ensured our early reservation and private back room were perfect. Our waiter was exceptional, patient, and genuinely enjoyed our large, lively group. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers, especially the greens, to the shrimp special, and the desserts were the ultimate highlight. The staff's attentiveness, particularly in keeping the kids happy with extra bread and helping pack our to-go bags, made the evening a memorable success. Thank you, Cafe CaNole!
