I myself am the biggest fan of the Cittero natural casing Genoa salami! Not only do they carry the most amazing provolone, but you can get X sharp to XXX sharp! The kind that makes you whistle when you eat it!! So delicious! They also make sausage rolls so big and stuffed, it's literally 2 meals. I can't say enough good things about Roma's. Their selection of imported items is great and the employees are always so friendly and welcoming. I'm also able to always get my favorite Italian blood orange soda!! Oh - stop by for lunch and order one of their subs on their amazing sub rolls! You'll never go anywhere else again!! Worthy of all five stars!

A friend told us to check this place out and to try the Italian tomato pie. We were driving through…read morethe area and we stopped in. Everything they have looks really good. Got a slice of the tomato pie and it was delicious.

Our last trip to Utica brought us to Napoli's Bakery hoping to get yet another Tomato Pie slice (or…read moretwo). Our timing hasn't been great since I seem to get there and the last slice has just gone out the door. No problem. I'm game for a sub. Tried to order a small sub to be told there is just one size. ok. no problem. Ordered the large Italian sub. The sub is now my most favorite sub. The sub was on the freshest roll with freshly cut deli meats. The way the counter is you can't watch the staff make your sub so it's a surprise when you open it. I opted for the usual toppings of lettuce, tomato and onion. Asked for the oil and vinegar and the nice lady taking my order suggested mayo as well.....sure, let's give it a try. My first bite was hard to eat since it is so big was hard to shove into my mouth. Only ate the first half for lunch. My five stars comes from eating the second half. Usually after a few hours the bun gets so soggy that it's just not pleasant. No problem here. Thinking that the mayo/oil combo would make the bun mushy I was anticipating the worst. Again, there was no problem. The bun survived, the meats were still delicious just as wonderful a bite as the first half. Only problem I have is that it's out in Utica. Also purchased two containers of the Chicken Riggie's and two containers of the Utica Greens from the freezer. We have gotten to eat both since coming home. I am a big fan of the Chicken Riggie's. While I was told that the peppers are to be spicy, it appears to have used pepperoncini peppers. Left a bit of a tang to the sauce that becomes very addictive. I've tried other Utica Greens and there are usually more greens. That was disappointing. Go for the subs and the chicken riggie's.

I've been going to get tomato pie since I was a child with my Mom. For their own good their famous…read moretomato pie has been going downhill. I expressed it to the manager and he says it's that time of the year that the tomato pie rises too fast and that's why he takes this time for vacation. However his family before him ran the place and it never rose like that and they ran it that time of the year for many more days. I explained that the crust was way too thick and was dried up. With his excuse of it being too humid is just that an excuse. My third time in three weeks now has been this way . No I'm sorry or please try us again . Zero people skills. Looks like Napoli will be losing business and he could care less . Better be careful or your three day work week it will be no more....

In Hong Kong, they call it "crystal meat," which maybe is what we should call it here. At any rate, you can find this and a number of other really great products here that you might not find anywhere else in the area. Borscht concentrate? yeah, they have that. A fascinating variation of blood sausage that I've never seen before! An excellent honey-horseradish mustard. The butcher, Lenny, is a really friendly guy, too. It's really worth giving this place a visit. I know I need to go back. We ran out of our half pound of head cheese in a couple of days.

Amazing Food! Wonderful People!…read more We had a family event at Joey's and were incredibly happy with the experience. All of the food, from the antipasto to the sliced prime rib, was outstanding. In particular, I enjoyed the baked ziti - excellent sauce with the pasta cooked perfectly al dente. And of course, you can't complain about the large portions, which is awesome so you can get some left overs to take home. In addition, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Matt the owner and chef does an amazing job! As a Utica native who has moved out of the area, it's nice to find a new place to look forward to visiting when I'm back in town. I can't recommend Joey's enough.

Unfortunately the cold cuts tasted past their prime. Dressing was some jarred vinaigrette...no olive oil, or vinegar. The pasta was delicious. Cavatelli swimming in marinara. (also certain sauce came from a jar ) Meatballs??! Criminal. Hard shell on outside... obviously not dropped in sauce. Abysmal. ALSO tasted past their prime! Beautiful loaf of bread.

I have been coming to this establishment for far too many years to admit to and it never disappoints. Not much has changed here over the years other than the prices. They have been around for over a 110 years. The restaurant is nothing fancy and most of their business is take out but to me nothing beats one of their fresh out of the oven pies with their gooey cheese on the bottom and crispy crust. On a warm summer night you can find me sitting outside at their picnic table enjoying a fresh hot pie.
