Initial experience started off as one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. Waited an hour to be seated (clearly you need more space and tables). While waiting, we ordered drinks. I ordered a glass of riesling and asked what brand it was. This guy wouldn't give me a brand but insisted it was a great wine. THIS guy insisted we go sit down before pouring our drinks. I stepped back into view long enough to see him pouring us a glass from a bottom shelf box of wine. It tasted like apple juice. So much for quality wine. The female staff working the dining room were MISERABLE. They complained loud enough for us to hear. We saw them rolling thier eyes and shaking thier heads constantly while waiting for a table. We finally get seated and this younger man was our server - he was incompetent. As a server, you should know what cocktails your restaurant offers. He didnt try to explain menu items we were confused about. He actually made it a painful experience for us to order. He answered none of our questions the entire meal. He was friendly and it was clear he was trying a little. If he wasnt so focused on idle chit chat, he could have asked someone else to come over and answer our questions. Overall, our experience was on the awful side. The chicken riggies were amazing but the experience was just so bad. If we are ever in town again, we've discussed possibly ordering take out but we will never dine in again

Obviously Google has not updated the location to North Utica. I have gone to the downtown location for years. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. I miss the to go cooler. If there was one, I did not see it. They got my order 95% right, left off the ricotta on my Veal parm. It was way over breaded. It was good, but the extra breading overpowered the other ingredients. It was also chinsey on the mozzarella. It was more convenient for me downtown, I doubt I will make the effort to go in North Utica. Danielle's and Ventura's are closer and better.
