" Trattoria Calabria is unlike any other dining spot! You feel like family as soon as you enter, and the food certainly followed in that tradition. Danny’s prepared delicious multi-course meals brimming with quality ingredients and big portions. I've never left here feeling unsatisfied!

Danny, the charming owner, made our evening even more special with his engaging personality and quick service. Highly recommend the bruschetta and stuffed shells! It’s a cozy restaurant, so be sure to book a table—this is one of Utica's best-kept secrets! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a memorable meal at Trattoria Calabria! If you want authentic flavor in a cozy environment, then definitely go. Danny was a fantastic host, sharing stories and jokes while we enjoyed multiple courses that seemed crafted with tons of love. The quality of the food was very high; you could taste the fresh ingredients. I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable meal—I probably won’t order dessert next time because I want room for everything else! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! From start to finish, Danny creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that brings you right into the heart of Italy. We were treated to a delicious eight-course meal that was cooked with an incredible amount of care and attention to detail. Each dish felt like a gift from his own kitchen. The homemade bread was to die for, and the eggplant parmesan was simply the best I've had! Plus, being able to bring our own drinks added to the charm. Make sure you come hungry because you will leave stuffed. I can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The food is fresh and authentic, brought straight from Danny’s heart to your plate. We enjoyed multiple courses, including an excellent spice-forward marinara sauce that made the pasta sing! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. You could tell the time and effort that was put into every part of the meal. I can’t recommend this place enough and already have my next reservation set. Be prepared to eat a lot; the portions were just incredible! " (*Curated Review*)

" An extraordinary night at Trattoria Calabria! From the moment you step in, the warmth and enthusiasm of Danny shine through. The Italian offerings were fresh and incredibly flavorful—a reflection of real Italian traditions. The numerous courses were presented beautifully, and it's hard not to leave with leftovers due to the plentiful portions. This dining experience felt less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into the family home, a delightful evening I will cherish! " (*Curated Review*)
