Where to Eat When Visiting Utica – Recommended Restaurants
Utica is well known for its food, especially the many Italian restaurants that boast the fact that you'll never leave hungry.
But, what kid of restaurant are you looking for?
Here's a new list of some amazing options in downtown Utica (near Nexus) that will give you the best sampling of what Utica - a culinary destination - has to offer. For the record, there are plenty of chain options in and around Utica and none of those will be included in this list for obvious reasons. The restaurants on this list are unique to Utica, NY.

There are plenty of amazing restaurants in surrounding areas like Rome, New Hartford, Verona (home of the Turning Stone Resort and Casino) but these are restaurants close to the action downtown.
Enjoy.
