I went into Carmella's today for a solo lunch and was able to sit right at the bar. I got a tuna…read moremelt and was expecting to take half home but it was so good I ate it all. The house made chips were also excellent. Service was great and the bartender was friendly. There's plenty of tables inside and a decent sized bar; it wasn't too busy so it was a nice quiet and relaxing solo lunch. I'll definitely be back for another one!

The service was quick and the atmosphere was super cute. There are tons of options at great prices.read more

We never got a chance to try the food, we had 6:30 reservations, waited 11/2 hours for salad…read more... After 2 1/2 hours still no meals... we left and won't go back!

Been to Portofino in Utica for lunch and dinner, but this time brought dear friends of ours…read more They were super impressed with the food and service. Eggplant Parmigiana was large and amazing. Pork Shank was excellent enough food for two meals. Steak and pasta, cooked as ordered, medium rare and was very good. Staff is attentive and friendly. Private parking lot. Elevator ride down to the restaurant, enter hostess stand in the bar. Main tables to the right. Worth a try.

Service was terrible. Wednesday night we were the ONLY ones in thendining room, 1 peprso. At the…read morebar, deck not busy at all. Waited for 35 minutes for bread after our order and the waitress brought it as an afterthought.Waitress maybe came to our table twice. No explanation for food. No refills. In total waited 1 hour and 20 minutes and food never came. When someone at my table went to the hostess to sk about our food she said "what table are you?" Ma'am you seated us AND WE ARE THE ONLY.PEOPLE IN THE DINING ROOM!!! When she said that I knew there was no hope for food. We got up, threw money on the table for our sides and left. When the waitress caught us at the elevator she looked confused and asked if everything was ok. No! It was over an hour and we have no food! The hostess who apparently went to check-in our order never returned BTW. I doubt she was checking...

They actually were closing at 1:30 but they were so accommodating and sat us right away. Wait staff were cheerful and friendly.

Will definitely be back

I ate at this Sorrento's about a year ago and the pizza was pretty good. So, I decided to not only…read morego back, but to also try their store in Pulaski as well to see if they are consistent. The pizza ordered in Adams was a half meatball, half hot peppers 18" pie. The crust was inconsistent with thicker, chewy parts towards the outer part, and very thin around the center, as if the dough wasn't stretched out enough. And, what was once a nice looking orange pie has become a soupy amalgam of gooey cheese and ok sauce. It was the exact same problem in Pulaski, way too much cheese that was concentrated around the center of the pie that gave the sauce zero chance of poking through. The cheese was not put on very evenly either. There was no magic between the sauce, cheese and crust. Just an average pizza by NYC standards. More like tomato fondue.

The greens and chicken riggies were very good. The service was excellent. Very efficient and kind…read morewaitress. Tired looking place but enjoyed the experience of this little town Upstate NY.

Perhaps a better name would be "No-Allergy Samich Shop." It for sure is not a cafe: they have…read moreonly regular and decaf and it's not ready to go. There is a counter to the left as you come in, followed by an unattractive cooler case with signs on it. In between is a bakery case that is small but had a nice selection when I was there. I ordered a cup of decaf and a small chocolate almond cupcake, for a price of $8. I declined the plastic box and sat down with the cupcake in an upholstered chair opposite the counter. I thought my coffee would be right up but it took many minutes. I almost left. The cupcake was small but good (fluffy cake, sugary frosting). Then I noticed the sign that said everything was gluten and dairy-free. Surprise! When the coffee was ready, the cream was put in for me. I guess it was nondairy. The coffee was warm like a keurig makes. I had noticed Lunch menus in a wall pocket and Brunch menus behind the counter. So this place is actually full restaurant for people with gluten and dairy allergies. The lunches all seemed to cost ~$18 and seemed inventive. Fries were available as a specialty. There were a lot of tables in the long, cool, dark room. It seemed like a decent place to have an undisturbed meal while talking with friends.

The nacho appetizer was also very good. They offer fun drink options that surprised me. We dined on a Sunday evening and were the only people there at the time.

The style and decor even inside is very cute and clean. We will absolutely be returning the next time we are in town!

While I was waiting I looked around and the place is beautifully decorated and very aesthetic. I would recommend this establishment 100% it was amazing.
