Ventura's - Utica

What a great place. I love it! eating, the personal, the ambiente. all absolutely perfect! the aromen, the conversation, the laugh my friend and I had with the amazing staff. a 500 mile round trip to utica on a day, and that was my favorite part of it. I would go back there totally, I think it would be worth the trip. oh, and I cost some sauces, but that. woah! I'm just so glad that they sell it in the house, in the bottle! I wish I could have brought a fall home, but who do I so much pasta for. forget 2 daumen. ten up, I would recommend venturas to everyone I know!

Went for dinner. They where busy so we had to wait a little bit. The server was great. Made sure we where fine. But didn't hover over us. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. Some places make it to heavy. On the menu they said the sauce would be lite. And it was spot on. Big pieces of chicken as well. Could not be more satisfied.

The good bad Salad no one uses iceberg lettuce anymore. Bread standard covered in fake butter and parmesan *Wine an $8 bottle of wine for $38.00 outrageous. Obscene wine list was ridiculous. They need lots of help here. Entree Veal was good Dessert tasted like it was a frozen supermarket dessert. They need to get with the times but keep the old school atmosphere.

Just go and eat there! Best Italian food in the world! Owner is still there and proud to share stories with you if you ask.
