At Ocean Blue we take our food seriously, but not ourselves. We are inspired to create a dining experience where our guests feel welcome and at home in our inviting setting to enjoy quality food, and warm hospitality. Borrowing influence from our most favorite era and styles, Ocean Blue’s interior boasts a mix of elegant black and white décor, a large copper bar, and floor to ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of our city. Perhaps the most striking feature is our vast, open kitchen that allows guests to watch the culinary team in action, preparing our signature dishes. We cook the food, and craft the drinks that make us happy, and we want to extend to you the same feeling. Great service, great food and great drink is not enough. We create an experience. We are a feeling. We are all of the above.

Nostro connects our approach to modern Italian cuisine with the nostalgia of mid-century modern design. The Oneida National Bank lobby delivers a stylish scene starring simple, user-friendly dishes paired with classic cocktails and prosecco. Our spacious yet intimate dining room mingles alongside the lively energy of the lounge; offering cozy seating for a perfect social setting. With an atmosphere constructed of rich leathers, cherry woods, terrazzo, and a scenic backdrop of a museum-worthy bronze mural, Nostro provokes your senses and fuels your desires to make 268 Genesee St. your new gathering spot.

Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse affords Utica diners that want a real challenge the opportunity to give a 24-ounce certified Angus Delmonico steak an attempt. The 16-ounce center cut New York sirloin is nothing to sneeze at either. Not just large, the steaks are full of flavor with perfect seasoning and seared to perfection. The menu at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse doesn’t end there, however. Chicken is also well represented at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse with dishes such as chicken Sinatra, chicken prosciutto, chicken marsala and chicken riggies. The classics like shrimp scampi, veal parmigiana and lasagna are all available as well. Dessert options such as the homemade cannoli and amaretto cheesecake finish off the meal perfectly.

A TASTE OF TRADITIONThe original Carmella's Cafe, located in New Hartford, New York, opened in 1985. Our goal was to provide our guests with the warmth, charm and quality of a local "Mom & Pop" restaurant with the consistency and controls of a well managed chain. Homemade soups, sauces, pasta, bread served by warm friendly, caring servers was the essence of our business. Our people have to demonstrate an "I care about you" attitude in order to work at Carmella's. We never intended it to be a fancy place... just a place where people of all ages could find good food value and fun in a casual, friendly surrounding! We are now re-dedicating our efforts to those original ideas and are committed to providing our guests with a great experience based on fresh, well prepared food served by people who really care. We invite you to enjoy our best food and service, and please let us know how we're doing

    We have been going to Delmonico’s for years. This was the best visit ever. The food was excellent and Sara was the best server we could ask for. Frank from the kitchen personally came to our table to ask how everything was. We recently dined at The View at The Mirror Inn and Delmonico’s exceeded the 3 star restaurant!! Mr.&Mrs.N and daughter Cara!!!!!

    What a fantastic experience. Our server Nick was attentive and personable. Food was fantastic and great portion sizes. They had a magician going around to tables, which I first thought would be awkward. Well I was wrong, it was the high light of the evening. It was absolutely amazing. Will definitely return next time in Utica

    Nate was a great server! We enjoyed everything! We had the lobster bisque, clam chowder, focaccia, and a shrimp cocktail for a nice early light dinner.

    Carmella's has become one of our Go-To dining destinations. Their combination of service, menu selections and outstanding value keep us coming back! Their 2 for 1 drink special is a typical example of this. They have always produced carefully conceived dishes made with the freshest ingredients and always served at appropriate temperatures. If I have observed one tendency it is to go 'a little light' on spicing and flavor elements - don't be reluctant to spice it up!
