We so enjoyed our anniversary dinner with Nostro! Cocktails & appetizers were lovely, we were impressed with the White Truffle Garlic Bread (a unique and somewhat delicate spin on a familiar classic ) The pace of the meal was balanced, great service. Handmade pasta for our entrees was absolutely divine, I'll be thinking about the Sweetcorn & Saffron Ravioli for years to come. This restaurant is a true gem of Utica, we will be returning again for dinner very soon!

We enjoy this restaurant. The food is very good with some unique and tasteful menu selections. The sweet corn ravioli is delicious. The portions are very good, salads are large enough for two to share. My only wish is the pour for a glass of wine was more generous. Seems like a glass is only 4 ounces instead of 6 or 8. Even their half carafe seems small. Staff was fine. Interesting the server asked if we were celebrating anything and we noted we were out to dinner for a birthday....

Reliable Italian fare. Love the arugula salad and truffle pasta dish. Decent wine selection. Spacious setting. Can get a little loud. Portions are on the smaller side (vs a lot of Italian restaurant portions), but sufficient.
