Ventura's - Utica

Fantastic authentic Italian food, great service, reasonable prices

I ordered the veal marsala at the restaurant. Unfortunately, it lacked flavor and the veal was tough, with only small pieces served.

Had a great dining experience at Ventura’s. Highly recommend the lobster ravioli!

Old school Italian restaurant. Perfect in every way. The service, the food, the atmosphere. If I lived in Utica, these folks would know my name. Was in town for my son’s college graduation and we went on recommendation from my college roommate who grew up in Utica. Can’t wait to come back. Do yourself a favor and memorize the name Ventura’s for when you’re in Utica (especially if you’re a Yankees fan). I am not, but hope they will forgive me!

Best nostalgic Italian restaurants in Utica we think its one of the best shrimp scampi I've ever had in awhile don't let the outside fool you but inside looks way peaceful and serene fine dining love this place can wait to come back and try other things.
