Wish they would stay open past 2pm one a week but am happy they have moved from a five day week. Shop is so cute and like some of their others stores had a number of artisanal items. Left with a loaf of italian bread and a bagel. The bagel was awesome complete with french butter I had at home. I was so happy I final got the chance to try a bagel. Usually just leave with a loaf of bread. Highly recommend. Great place to buy items for a gourmet food basket

Based on its popularity, I was eager to try Utica Bread. One day I stopped in at around 1PM, and…read morethere were hardly any pastries left. Having learned my lesson, I arrived before 10AM on a second visit and was able to score an almond croissant. At $4.25, it was definitely on the higher end. I was disappointed to find that the almond croissant didn't have very much almond paste, and worse, it was not very laminated. Overall the dough texture was completely off as it was too soft and flaccid. Without sufficient frangipane and a somewhat tasteless dough, this was a bit of a chore to finish. The composition was just puzzling. I would not buy this particular pastry item again from Utica Bread. Almond croissant ($4.25)

Roma Sausage is everything you'd want in an Italian-style deli. Delicious smells greet you when you…read morewalk in and the sight of fresh baked bread, tomato pie, and sausage rolls will ensure you're not walking out empty handed. The deli counter staff are always good to deal with and know their stuff. They carry Boar's Head meats along with a lot of other of their own items. Highlights from their offerings: The grated pecorino-romano cheese is TOP NOTCH and should not be missed. The tomato pie is top 3 in Utica no question. The italian bread is very good, though it can be hard to eat a whole loaf before it starts to go bad....a good problem to have. They have two locations - one in Utica and one in Washington Mills. This review is based on the Washington Mills location, but the Utica location is very similar. Be warned, if you are looking for a sub, they do not make them here. You'll be making your own at home.

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!

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 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....
