“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❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“Joey’s catered my sisters wedding last night and it was incredible. they took all the stress off our plates and put great food on them. it was outside and they brought everything they needed to set up in their own space. they had the food going for a little while before we all ate and it was still so. good. every single thing we had was incredible and if i wasn’t in a maid of honor dress i would’ve eaten a whole tray of that eggplant parmesan haha. i highly recommend them for any catering you need, and if you stop in to eat make sure to get the italian nachos, they’re to die for!“

“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.“

“Great. Place good food and drinks friendly staff“

“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!!!“

“Shared a fantastic bday experience with a variety of great food including fish, pasta, riggies, and greens. Don't let the strip mall area and parking fool you as the inside atmosphere is a cool vibe. Great staff that even sang HB over a candle lit Canoli! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Great food. Wonderful people.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic food, great service, and Sal and Melissa are spectacular hosts. Utica is renowned for its food. Chesterfield's Tavolo is at the top of the list! Always a wonderful dining experience!“

“This was our second visit and they did not disappoint. The hot sandwiches are very good. Pizza is good too. Their take on loaded French fries is interesting. We really liked the buffalo fries.

We are looking forward to trying more stuff!“
