Ancora! - Utica

This place is simply amazing! My friends and I go here to celebrate birthdays or just a Friday night! The drinks (dirty martinis especially) and food are always on point and the service is impeccable! As someone in the restaurant business it's not always easy to find a place that has great food and staff but Ancora is it and is always my first choice when asked where to go!

The best chicken francaise I've ever had (and I've had it at many, many places)! The best bruschetta I've ever had, also! Excellent service, nice atmosphere, delicious cocktails. Highly recommend!!

Pan seared scallops were the best we've had! Service was great! Atmosphere was great! Hot Dirty Martini.....OMG! Ancora's Paella....spicy deliciousness! Our only concern is why on Earth we haven't gone here before! We will definitely be back!!!

One of my all time favorite restaurants, my favorite dish is the filet, but truly have never had a bad meal! I love the pasta and peas with prosciutto also! Great atmosphere, great service, always recommend Ancora!

I was there on Saturday had the special Gorgonzola crusted Ny strip that was so delicious, and the Bananas Foster crepe was everything. We had the best waitress who sang happy birthday to me. Can’t wait to come back.
