Da Francesco's Ristorante Bar - Utica

I recently went there to eat last Friday 9-06-24 and the service and food was fabulous. My waitress was Linda and she was so helpful with answering all my questions about the certain food I could eat that didn’t have pork in it. Just about every ground beef meal had pork mixed in the meal. I was craving spaghetti, but it was also in there. So I ordered the chicken Parmesan with marinara sauce since there was pork in the regular meat sauce. Wow !! It was delicious the chicken was so tender you could cut it with your fork and I was hooked on the bread with the herb seasoned olive oil, the portion was so large I had enough to eat for dinner the next day. The Moscato glass of wine was the best Moscato wine I have had from a Restaurant, it made me think it was top shelf wine. Very very good. And our waitress Linda was so sweet and always smiling and very happy stop and get anything we needed. The bus boy was on top of picking up any empty dishes or getting us fresh bread that of course No one will refuse that delicious bread. This is definitely my new favorite place to eat.

Wow, what a wonderful place! I heard such rave reviews about this restaurant so I figured I'd try it for my birthday. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever seen. Our server Matt was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The scoobie crab claws and bread basket were a good start and my lobster ravioli was so delicious I ate the entire thing. For dessert they gave me a little candle with this cute artwork! Thank you Da Francesco's!

The sauce was exceptional. Service was great. Things appeared without being asked for. Make reservations as it is tough to get in there, and for good reason.

The old owner would never have that kind of music or as loud.

Great food, great service. Veal picatta was outstanding.
