    We had a great experience at Nostro. Service was excellent, food was fantastic. We had the short rib arancini, chicken parm, paccheri alla genovese and the chocolate gelato. All dishes were wonderful, large portions and well executed. The space is beautiful and, while a bit noisy, wasn't overly loud. We will definitely be back here when in the Utica area.

    We took a friend and his wife to Nostro as a thank you for their efforts over the year. I enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant and how the original bank interior was preserved.
