Verona
About the restaurant
Choose either the dining room with its classic red-and-white checked tablecloths, or the casual charm of indoor patio seating near the fountain rotunda. Both serve the same delicious menu that blends “old world” and “new world” Italian specialties -- our homage to northern Italy and its rustic, hearty comfort food. Bar Pino, adjacent to the restaurant, offers a comfortable setting to sip some vino while waiting for your table, or before or after a show.

Our party of four enjoyed an excellent dining experience: starting with calamari and cocktails, we ordered chicken parmigiana, lasagna, veal marsala and crab risotto with a side of Utica greens. Everything was delicious!

About the restaurant
Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse affords Utica diners that want a real challenge the opportunity to give a 24-ounce certified Angus Delmonico steak an attempt. The 16-ounce center cut New York sirloin is nothing to sneeze at either. Not just large, the steaks are full of flavor with perfect seasoning and seared to perfection. The menu at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse doesn’t end there, however. Chicken is also well represented at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse with dishes such as chicken Sinatra, chicken prosciutto, chicken marsala and chicken riggies. The classics like shrimp scampi, veal parmigiana and lasagna are all available as well. Dessert options such as the homemade cannoli and amaretto cheesecake finish off the meal perfectly.

We took our coworker out to celebrate starting a new job. It was quiet enough so we could have a lovely conversation. The food was tasty and served at a rate and pace so each course could be enjoyed. Never had to ask for a refill (magic glasses are always full). Our server was both delightful and professional.

Absolutely amazing! Five stars, hands-down! Being in the food/bar industry my whole life and being on vacation here from Boston/Providence, this was definitely a great find! Excellent service, from the hostess to the waitress to the servers to the food to the pricing! Worth every penny and every minute spent there! Kudos!
