Food was amazing, our waitress, not so much She took our order, we didn’t get 2 extra items we asked for, IF she had returned to the table I would have requested them again but by time she did we were almost done. I had to ask the nice young man that came to refill our waters for containers AND our check. She didn’t have a problem bringing that though…… AGAIN, amazing food, not so good waitress. Life goes on, DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY going back to try more amazing entrees and maybe try some dessert if I could get the dessert menu

My wife and I have been eating Ancora ever since we met 10 years ago. Regardless of the occasion, the food and staff deliver. Their expertise is apparent in both the construction and execution of their dishes. We had the pleasure of Greg as our server at our last visit and the best thing I can say is for those looking for an experience free of stress and a joy to your pallet, go to Ancora. You won’t regret it!

Visiting from out of state. A few locals recommended it to us. Made reservations same day. It’s located right next door to the Stanley theater. Sat at a high top near the bar. Greg was our server and bartender. His choices were home runs and drinks were awesome. Had an old fashioned and wife had a spicy watermelon (something) both were great! Went with Greg’s choice of the daily special spicy creamy shrimp. Had a creamy pasta sauce with some chorizo sausage and shrimp over penne. It was awesome! For desert we had crepes and creme brulee also recommended by Greg. They were perfect! By the time we left the front patio was packed and no open tables outside!

We ate on the patio, and the bugs and flies were obnoxious! But there was great music playing in the background. The waiter was fantastic, checking on us frequently, and making great suggestions on beer. He was entertaining, and kept us laughing. I ordered the NY Strip Dreak, which was fantastic! It came with a big heaping serving of mashed potatoes. They were dry and flavorless, amd I wished it had come with some sort of gravy. But it was definitely worth the price!

In town on business in Utica and after eating 2 nights in the hotel restaurant decided to explore the area. Discovered Ancora in the theater district. EXCELLENT choice in literally ever way I could think of. From the Bruschetta for the appetizer, to the house special Mushroom Stuffed Raviola, to the oversized glass of tea, topped off with one of the best margaritas (Silver Petron of course), this was one of the best meals I’ve had in quite some time. And considering this is located in the theater district, the price vs value was off the charts.

The food was ok. Almost everything on the menu has cheese. Wish there were a few healthier options. The service was friendly and very good and the place is pretty cool.

We were in Utica for just one night and walked down the street from our hotel and wound up here. We sat at the bar and enjoyed wine and delicious food. Overall, a solid Italian restaurant with kind service!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Paella was delicious. Definitively one of the best places for dinning in Utica area and CNY.
