- LLynnNew York City •2 reviews4.0Dined on 24 Oct 2026We were promptly seated and our dining options were explained. Placing our orders for cocktails, starters and main courses, our selections were provided quickly but giving us enough time to enjoy each entree. We found the restaurant quiet enough to converse easily as it filled quickly with other patrons. Our wait staff was attentive and efficient. We enjoyed our meal and will consider returning.More infoMotus$$$$• American• Utica•4.7

Drinks and bread arrived shortly afterwards. They offer a daily early bird special(as of 9/26) from 3-5:30 daily. Consists of drinks - sodas, tea/coffee; soup or salad and choice of 6 entrees from 2 different price structures. Also included is a bowl of chocolate or vanilla ice cream or mini cannoli. Ordered the deluxe app - Buratta with fresh tomatoes, onions and fresh basil. Soup we picked: minestrone and Chickarina; entrees: Fettuccine Alfredo and grilled Alpine chicken.
