“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.“

“Dave Morgan is #1 in my book. Catered my daughter s wedding on October 9, 2022. Not one stone was left unturned. The food was dead on and the service he provided was fantastic! You will not be disappointed when Dave Morgan and his crew roll in! Dave is all about what you the client wants. Just say it and he does it to a T! Thank you Dave for all you did for us❤️“

“Italian comfort food with an early 20th century vibe. Visiting from out of town our fellow diners as well as the minimal staff were friendly and welcoming. The sole waiter moved with the speed of The Flash yet had a kind word for every guest making for a pleasant relaxed dinner in spite of the frantic pace. We have been driving the Thruway since 1990 visiting relatives and never stopped in Utica . Next trip lunch will be at Cafe del Buono.“

“Great Pizza“

“The food was amazing and hot! i had the alfredo it was really good !“

“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!“

“First time going here! Great restaurant, atmosphere, service, food and desserts. We will be back!“

“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!!!“

“Great food, friendly people…best pizza around! 🥰👏👏👏“

“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.“

“Great. Place good food and drinks friendly staff“

“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 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.“

“the price, the food, the quality is to perfection. my favorite go to spot. people know me and I love pizza. one of the best I ever had. 11 out of 10“

“prova i cannoli ✝️👸🏿 -Nonny“

“Thank you jay and the rest of staff in Washington mills. Every time I come back to ny from nc I have to get the good stuff …. I may have left my tomato pie but I sure got lots goodies see you in 6 months“

“I ordered a tray of chicken francaise and hats/broccoli for an 85th birthday party, the chicken was amazing as was the pasta. I highly recommend Rosa’s for your catering needs! Thank you to Rosa’s!“

“Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Friendly staff and awesome food. Luv this place.“

“My girlfriend and I rode there tonight and grabbed a couple of slices. Carolina gold chicken wing with Doritos on top. Holy sh#* was that ever delicious!!!! Also previously I had a cheeseburger slice that was out of this world! Please bring that back!!! 10 out of 10 stars for sure !“

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

“Nice, comfortable atmosphere. Food is very good with generous portions. Antipasto for four actually feeds six. We'll worth it. I do think more wait staff could be added during the peak of dining hours. We waited a bit longer than normal to be served. No complaints at all about our server. Just think she had too many tables and not enough staff working to share the tables. This was our second time here. We'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic!! I had Veal Saltimbocca and had them put over a bed of fettuccine(as my side). Sauce was great,large portions. Calamari appetizer is the best. Service is great and prices are very reasonable“

“This is a nice clean place. Small for dining in but wide open if you do get a seat. This slice here is 5$. That's a good deal these days I think especially because they actually do the oversized slices that are so hard to find these days. It's BBQ chicken. Service is great, the menu was not updated properly and I asked for a couple of things they no longer had, in recompense they didn't charge me for upgrading some regular fries to specialty fries. The rest of my food is for a long drive so I won't get pictures of that this time. I get the sense the guys here like their job which is a good sign and the bathrooms are super nice, which is always a tell tale sign to me of whether a place is being taken care of by the owner. I'll be happy to stop here more often in the future.

Parking: Several spots out front. Might need painting again soon. Do be careful it has two separate entrance/exits point. The center is a potential hazard with the not being easily visible from behind the wheel.“

“Delish lunch spot in Clinton, NY. Vast menu with many great options but we LOVED our Lamb Gyro and Chopped Cheese Sandwiches--best we ever had. There is some indoor seating offered inside however we opted for outdoor seating offered throughout Clinton. A must try!“

“The employees there were very kind and right on top of any requests I had. The prices are reasonable given the portion sizes and honestly I'll definitely be going there again. 5 stars“
