I also asked for advice on their fresh salmon to take home for dinner. August was extremely helpful and explained the differences between the three fresh salmon choices. I choose the Scottish salmon and oh boy! it did not disappoint! Salmon was super fresh tasting, August put it on ice for the ride home! Simply seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika with a few lemon slices. Absolutely delicious. Thank you August for your expertise and kind service!

Everything tasted great and when they say jumbo they really mean it. I'm the kind of person who can eat an 18 inch pizza in one sitting and I barely finished it all. The fish was hot and crispy and they did a good job with the coleslaw - a lot of places make it too sweet but Fresco knows what they're doing. Their fries are addicting - honestly I would go back just for the fries. Only thing I would say is they should switch to wooden tables and chairs and keep salt, pepper, ketchup, and napkins at every table. The food came out hot but it got cold in just a few minutes sitting on a metal table. Maybe some baseboard heating in the dining area would help too - it was 20F today and you could definitely feel the chill!

I made a list of all the places I wanted to visit in the area before we become snowbirds, and…read moreFresco's was at the top of my list. The owner's father previously owned Zkiddith Fish, a place filled with so many wonderful memories and so much history before he retired. I was happy to see his son branch out and open Fresco's and continue the family's connection to seafood. A couple of years ago, Fresco's moved to a new location near Sangertown Square, in the former Dippin' Donuts building. Our past experiences had always been so good, and the food was delicious, so I was really looking forward to one more visit before our move west. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite live up to my memories. Perhaps it was just an off night, but the fried fish was just okay, and the shrimp weren't quite what we had hoped for. They were a little overcooked, and a few still had small pieces of shell attached. Considering we paid well over $60 for a meal for two that we brought home to serve with our own sides, we had hoped for a little more, especially at that price point. I was disappointed, mainly because I have such fond memories of enjoying seafood from this family over the years. I know one visit doesn't necessarily reflect the usual experience, and I truly hope this was just an off night. Fresco's was a place I really wanted to revisit before leaving the area, and I'll always appreciate the memories and history this family has given us through the years.

Amazing experience…read more Food was really good. I'd recommend for two sharing a combo boil. It's a lot of food. If you've never been to a seafood boil before, please ask your server any questions you have. Extremely helpful. We had Amy as our server. She was the best!! Lisa as the owner was an amazing support to tables around us. Definitely a team effort. Really good coordination between management, kitchen, and servers. We had the Utica Bag with all sauces. Definitely worth it. We used Uber and it tried to take us to the back of the building. The driver was kind to listen to our "no it had to be the other side of the building." Extremely clean. So many places don't wipe things down anymore. We'll be back!

Normally I don't go in for the crunchy cornmeal style breading, but it's perfection here. The fish is SO tender and moist. The fries are delicious- salty, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The prices are amazing, too! $5 for a pound of fries. $7.99 for a pound of fried swai $10.99 for a pound of fried haddock. We got a bit less than 3 pounds of the swai, a bottle of Beaver tartar sauce, and a half pound of fries. That turned out to be more than 3 adults could eat for under $30. That is hard to beat! Also, while the line was long, it moved really quickly. They also sell a bunch of seafood, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, and other stuff. Check them out for sure!

I…read morepicked up a business card for Lucky Mey's at an acceptable, if unremarkable, Thai-inspired asian restaurant where my husband and I had dinner the night before. Lucky Mey's claim to be Utica's Best Asian grocery store is definitely warranted - in fact, I don't think it would be immodest for them to claim to be CNY's best grocery store, not that the competition is stiff. At any rate, this is a lovely store and should I ever have the misfortune to find myself living in Utica (not an impossibility since I just escaped a similarly dreary place in northern most reaches of NY state), I would patronize it frequently. Especially since the proprietor was incredibly friendly and impressed by my rather prosaic purchases of palm sugar, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, thai basil, and an assortment of noodles - inquiring if I had visited Thailand and if not how I knew so much about Thai food. Given her friendliness and excellent English, were I to live in Utica, I would ask her how to prepare all the unfamiliar but delicious-looking greens that the store stocked. In addition to produce, the store has a large and well-priced selection of packaged goods, a huge freezer section that I didn't have a chance to explore, and a big styrofoam cooler filled with live eels.

Love that this store has a large selection of Utica food products made by small businesses in the Utica/New Hartford/Rome area. I come when I have not gotten around to making it to the local bakeries before they closed. This time with the Labor Day Holiday the fresh Italian bread selection from our area bakeries was pretty picked over. They usually have several racks of bread from 3 to 5 local bakeries (Big O's, Napoli's, Salvatore's). Chanatry's is known not only for their large selection of local products but also their meat department, deli, and of course the opportunity to get a selfie with the Pope. Service here is very reminiscent of the 50's vibe. Lines are short and move. Baggers are readily available, butcher is available later than other stores. Truly one of my favorite stores.
