" I was quite eager to try Ancora but found my experience average. Service was polite, but I felt unusually rushed between courses. I had the arancini, which was delicious, but my main course of pasta left me wanting more flavor. Not bad, just not what I expected from the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Ancora twice during my stay in Utica. On the first visit, the food was fantastic. I had the filet mignon, and it was perfectly cooked to my specifications. However, my second visit was disappointing due to the lack of service - our server disappeared for a while, and we struggled to get the check. Despite this inconsistency, I appreciated the food quality and overall would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Ancora! The atmosphere is intimate, making it perfect for special occasions. My favorite dish was, without a doubt, the homemade gnocchi paired with a fragrant pomodoro sauce. The staff was attentive yet not overbearing, which I really appreciated. I'll certainly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Utica! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an awesome dinner at Ancora! My dish of chicken riggies was flavorful, and the staff was really pleasant. It gets a bit busy at night, and I would recommend making a reservation. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Ancora was a unique experience. I had the prepared paella which highlighted the fresh seafood they used—definitely a must-try! The service was quick, but I felt a bit rushed while dining. I enjoyed the meal overall but would love to savor it at a more relaxed pace next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a dining experience at Ancora last week that left me quite unsatisfied. Although the food was decent overall, I found my meal to be quite bland, particularly the risotto. Service was slow, and it felt like the waitstaff was more interested in chatting with each other than attending to our needs. It could have been a one-off experience, but I left underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Ancora! The calamari was lightly breaded and crispy, which I loved. The portions were generous, and I appreciated that. My friends had the paella, which they raved about. The atmosphere was vibrant, making it a fun place for dinner. I will certainly come again! " (*Curated Review*)
