Our family roots reach back to a small family farm. A farm that provided my parents a hard working existence – nourishing the land to produce the freshest quality of fruits and vegetables. Our childhood lessons included the benefit of hard work and personal sacrifice, so when it came to food we never cut corners and a passion for simple but really good food began.All my recipes reach back from my grandmothers to my mother, and today to you. We take personal pride and dedication to serving you quality food with only the best ingredients prepared our own way.We at ‘It’s a Utica Thing’ treat our customers like our friends, our friends like family. If you have enjoyed our food tell a friend and bring them in to join our family.
