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.

A TASTE OF TRADITIONThe original Carmella's Cafe, located in New Hartford, New York, opened in 1985. Our goal was to provide our guests with the warmth, charm and quality of a local "Mom & Pop" restaurant with the consistency and controls of a well managed chain. Homemade soups, sauces, pasta, bread served by warm friendly, caring servers was the essence of our business. Our people have to demonstrate an "I care about you" attitude in order to work at Carmella's. We never intended it to be a fancy place... just a place where people of all ages could find good food value and fun in a casual, friendly surrounding! We are now re-dedicating our efforts to those original ideas and are committed to providing our guests with a great experience based on fresh, well prepared food served by people who really care. We invite you to enjoy our best food and service, and please let us know how we're doing

    Fantastic dinner from beginning to end. Started with the fried calamari and greens. Both were excellent, calamari was crispy but tender and the greens were very flavorful. Portions were perfect. The chicken francaise medallions were nice and thin and very tender and oh a great lemon/butter sauce. Chose the Parmesan Risotto in place of the capellini which was a great choice because the risotto was delectable. Also came with sautéed spinach which complemented all to perfection. We also split an order of chicken riggies which are one of the best riggies around. Our friends had the Salmon fishy and the Seabass which they both were extremely happy with. We ended with bananas foster which I would get again and our friends had crème brûlée which they said was delish. Looked it too!! Ancora will not disappoint! All of the tapas and apps are amazing. It’s had deciding which ones to order. We just said we will return again soon to get the others. Thanks to all at Ancora who made this a great night out. Oh, forgot……..the wine was flowing as soon as we got there and it was good pour. The bartender was great and knowledgeable about the food as well. If you have never been, you have to go here. You will be thrilled that you did! Enjoy

    The atmosphere, lighting and music playing were second to none in Utica. Of course these folks get atmosphere with other properties like Ocean Blue. They kept the integrity and the history of this bank with their exceptional restoration. The bar is stunning and you will feel transported to a NYC restaurant. The food is delicious and the service excellent.
