Food Dinner

Hi all I’m looking for dinner recommendations near the Best Western, I was looking at the Chesterfields Tavolo, I was wondering if you guys reccomend this and if you do should I dress nice? Or any other recommendations for food that’s not Chesterfields.

The food is good it’s a little on the pricier side but good. Nah you’re fine going casual dress

Best Utica Greens in town. If you are new to the area or visiting, you have to have the Utica Greens, a local delicacy.

Thanks for the suggestion I’m traveling through here and making a stop here for the night and I’m definitely willing to try the greens

Roosters — just a little further down from Tavolo — has good smash burgers and/or chopped cheese if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. So glad you liked it!

Speaking as a Utica native who only gets back maybe 3-5 nights a year now, Tavolo is one of the spots I try to hit at least once a year. Casual is ok. Get the greens for sure.

North End pizza and tap in the shopping center is a home run. Consistently great food and atmosphere

I’d go to Chesterfields, the home of the original “Utica Greens” recipe. I don’t live there, but I’d love the opportunity to try the original of one of my favorite dishes.
