30 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Utica

“Love Zeina's Cafe! Awesome owners...food is out of this world delicious!“

“In sporting vernacular: grand slam, eagle, bullseye!! The planning for my 50th birthday party started with Motus months prior. The details of the menu, signature cocktail, embellishments and affordable pricing were as smooth as silk. The follow up meetings were effective and brief. Every detail was accommodated in style and with class. When Alicia said not to worry, they will handle everything, I left it in their capable hands and didn’t give it another thought. The event of about 30 family and dear friends was an astounding and resounding success. One word: Delicious! The presentation was wonderful. The service was timely, accurate, professional, and nearly invisible throughout the evening. Everyone is still raving about the menu variety, service, and the General sumptuousness of the event. This was the best choice. Alicia, you are wonderful!! We are still on cloud 9. This one review represents 28 rave accolades and approvals. Job well done!“

“Great food, good man running the place. He gets creative with his burgers and they are always worth the adventure.“

“The Tram is filled with amazingness altogether. if that’s even a word. Whether it be supporting artists of all kinds, out of their passion for art. Or their amazing food and drinks! (best hot chocolate ever, by the way). And kind and hardworking staff! They have created a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for all. Utica is beyond lucky to have a business like them around!!“

“Absolutely recommend tailor and the cook to anyone awesome staff drinks food amazing We will definitely be back ❤️❤️🍷🍷“

“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!“

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

“0 stars! I stopped in and I swear there was a teenage girl hanging out with a bunch guys there, she remained there with who I was told is the head chef. It's absolutely disgusting to see such a young kid surrounded by men who are in their 30s and some looked older than that. I haven't gone back since and I never will.“

“great atmosphere!!! friendly staff.“

“We ordered the trays for Christmas Eve everything was excellent“

“Great breakfast spot! Their menu is extensive and has something for everyone.“

“Food tastes great but the place is filthy and it's a scary scene. Not for everyone. I might of got sick here once so I stopped coming, I forget. I think it could of been because I came early I think I was the first breakfast cooked so whatever got on the grill the night before could of did it to me. They definitely need to do deep cleaning once a week at least. I mean deep down in the cracks of the floor and everywhere. I noticed stuff like this pretty well because I'm very observant. I love the Italian theme and all, it's sad this place isn't cleaner. I would come all the time. They could make the place bigger too.“

“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“

“Food was awesome bartender was extremely helpful great time“

“Their Chicken Gyros and rice are delicious!“

“I found this wonderful little spot in Utica today and it was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a while. The service was wonderful. Two amazingly sweet women conversed with me and even recommended a delightful bakery across the street. I took a good while to stare at the menu as I don’t have much exposure to Dominican food and it was hard to narrow down what delicacy to choose. I ended up ordering the Pernil, the pescado frito, and beef empanadas. It was DIVINE! Each dish was cook to perfection and filled with so much flavor! I will definitely be back.“

“Great quick food And Chris was kind and helpful in choosing a perfect beer for me, and a cider for the dear wife. I took a liter to go and can't wait to stop by again the next time we are in the area. Top notch spot with Harvest Host parking for your rigs big and small. Highly anticipated.“

“Frankie and staff ; I can’t thank yous all enough for the amazing food we had catered by the hub for our family Christmas Eve dinner!! food was beyond amazing along with amazing size portions. Thanks for doing so much work and letting me not have a worry in the world and it allowed me to enjoy my family, specially my grand kids. This was the first time I’ve ever dared to order out on a holiday so again thank you Frankie from the bottom of my heart!! You as well are nothing short of amazing!! Sincerely Rosalie 🤗“

“Just so good!!! #supportlocal“

“The best bagels ever, so glad they moved to their new location! They are perfection!!!“

“We rolled into swifty’s on a Sunday for lunch, 30 minutes after they opened with a 16 year old hockey team and parents who were killing time between hockey games at the nexus center and wanted a place to watch the bills game for a bit. I am sure they were overwhelmed by 45 people who walked in at one time. Let me just say… they were amazing. Everyone got their drinks and then everyone placed a food order. The bar tender.. Amanda? Was the best! The food rolled out of that kitchen like it was normal. And to top it off.. everyone’s lunch was awesome. Huge burgers, great pizza, one huge fan of the chicken parm, loaded fry’s had multiple fans and the other wraps and sandwiches all had great reviews. Nobody was dissapointed. Next time we’re in Utica for a tournament, we definitely will be dropping by again! I will at least give them a heads up next time. :) Great Job Swifty’s! Everyone on Sunday did a fantastic job.

“This place absolutely knocks the Asian quisine out of the park. We tried it once and will never chose another restaurant. It is not the overly sweet Asian food you would normally find, but hearty, spicy, Herbaceous, and just delicious. Everything is very consistent and ALWAYS delicious. The staff is also, so extremely kind when you go in.“

“If you have never been to Castlewood Cafe, now is the time! With higher prices and decreasing quality and every popular chain, Castlewood continues to offer their large menu, with same quality products! They have not changed that in this economy! My family chooses Castlewood over all the restaurants in this area! What’s more, the friendly smiles and excellent waiting staff! I strongly recommend this small mom and pop diner that has a menu to satisfy everyone, even the pickiest of eaters!“

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

“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 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!!!“

“The portions are big! The filet mignon was cooked well and still tender. The creamed corn, although the menu stated it had jalapeños, was not very spicy, which is good for someone that doesn't eat that way. Their seasonal buttery cake with ice cream, apples, and caramel drizzle was a sweet and salty deliciousness! A mocktail mojito was crisp and refreshing. On a Monday evening, it was perfectly quiet.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had a nice meal with my daughter today. Our server, Jason R was fantastic. Start to finish went above and beyond for us. The food was very good as well. Thank you!“
