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.

    The atmosphere, lighting and music playing were second to none in Utica. Of course these folks get atmosphere with other properties like Ocean Blue. They kept the integrity and the history of this bank with their exceptional restoration. The bar is stunning and you will feel transported to a NYC restaurant. The food is delicious and the service excellent.

    Nostro was a vibe on New Year’s Eve. My drinks and food was excellent. The atmosphere was festive and the music was great. Nostro is Top 3 restaurants in CNY.

    The food was excellent except no one came to clear any of our plates between courses. So my husband got up and cleared the table because they kept serving without taking anything away. Everyone was super nice and the food was excellent, but they need help bussing the tables.
