    XXL cheese pizza
    Alex V.

    Was looking up pizza places in the area and found this place. I ended ordering an XXL pizza and some boneless wings The pizza was good. It wasn't too greasy or cheese. It was close enough to New York-style pizza. The wings were good with the "everything" sauce. When I picked up the pizza it was a little cold. I ordered the wings with the sauce on the side but got sauce in the wings. Overall the pizza is an 6.7/10.

    Fried meatballs and Fried Ravioli

    Very pleasant surprise. Cugini's is a diamond in the rough. It may not look like much from the outside but they more than make up for aesthetics with their food. We had the fried ravioli and fried meatballs as starters and while the raviolis were recommended they were just alright. Same problem with all things stuffed with cheese, fry it and the cheese gets out, but the meatballs were impressive. Good size and great taste. But the stars of the show were the pizza and the service. Ella took our order, brought our food, made our pizza and even plated the first slice, because it was really hot and as she said it's part of my job. And what a job she did. We ate half in store and took half home. It was even better the next day. I can't wait to go back. Ask for Ella, she'll take care of you.

    I always order the broccoli pizza which has a garlic sauce, broccoli, tomato slices and ricotta cheese. Best pizza ever!

Place is small and cozy. 2 servers and the care and attention fantastic.  Call for reservations. FOOD was and is amazing. Fried Calamari was some of the best.  Scallop special was cooked perfectly.  Chicken dish with cream sauce yummy.  Sausage and pasta dish spot on. Rigatoni Peppernotta Roasted peppers, sausage, marinara and fresh mozzarella  Shrimp Firenza Shrimp sautéed with onion, garlic, hot cherry peppers, and marinara over linguine with fontinella cheese excellent but for my taste more spice. Desserts were homemade and good. Small equals a little noisy but well worth the visit.

I now know that this unassuming restaurant has some of the friendliest staff and best prepared food in the Utica area. I can't wait to go back. With a full roster of reservations scheduled for their dining room, the four of us walked in and slotted up at the bar for dinner with front row seats to the action in the kitchen. First up: spicy and flavorful Utica greens covered in a healthy sprinkling of cheese. Would order again. After chatting with the owner, we ordered two scallop pasta dishes, a steak sandwich, and chicken Parm (which they were kind enough to make with fra diavolo sauce for my spice lord husband). EVERYTHING was impeccable, and I was honestly tempted to pick up my plate and lick it clean - that's how good the seared scallops over linguine were. Pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was light, well seasoned and well balanced (and not actually on their menu, so bonus points for being willing and able to pull that out on the fly!). In and out in about an hour, though we never felt rushed. We're looking forward to trying more apps and staying for an espresso and dessert next time!

Easy to find and plenty of street parking which made it really easy to park (right across the street.) The group I was with had the upstairs which was perfect for our meeting that turned into lunch. The downstair had a seating area along with the bar. Upstairs did not have windows but had plenty of light. Cool rustic setting which I'm noticing at a lot of the upstate restaurants. We had our meeting first then went into our buffet style lunch which worked out very nicely. Salad, sausage and peppers, eggplant and ziti. Everything was hot, tasty, fresh and plentiful. I'm always concerned about the dried out or soon to be mushy food from buffets, that was definitely not the case here. The staff here was wonderful. Even though is was buffet style we had a waitress following up with us for drinks and anything else we needed. I am glad that I had the opportunity to come here and appreciate all the hard work done by everyone. KUDOs to the team at DeSalvos.
