NEW HARTFORD. Zesty food takes the forefront at this Lebanese restaurant, which pulls in lots of student traffic, given its proximity to Utica College. It's not difficult to find vegetarian fare here, thanks to an abundance of grains and vegetables, but lamb chops and filet mignon are skillfully prepared too. Stuffed grape leaves are particularly delicious, and a variety of charbroiled kabobs feature lamb, sirloin, and chicken. Friday's special is generally fresh haddock, and a lunchtime buffet provides good value for hungry folks.

NORTH UTICA. Locals love Bella Mia for many reasons, and not least of all for the complimentary cheese spread, a savory treat. The Italian restaurant also satisfies with a range of light and entree fare, making it easy to accommodate different appetites. Toasted ravioli are yummy, and green olives stuffed with asiago and then fried are mouthwatering tidbits. Main-course possibilities include Sicilian eggplant rollatini, shrimp rigatoni, haddock oreganato, sirloin steak, and veal marsala. Salads and wraps can also be found.

UTICA. Adorned with celebrity images and boasting an upscale lounge, Delmonico's has earned its way into the hearts of Utica residents. Terrific cuisine and attentive service only further the cause, and folks return often to partake of the ambience and Italian-styled menu. Specialties include a 24-ounce ribeye, veal parmigiana, ravioli with spicy vodka sauce, and seafood with marinara over linguine. Make sure to anticipate dessert, though: tiramisu and homemade cannolis are classics, and amaretto cheesecake is a can't-miss too.

UTICA. Although this wonderful bistro serves delicious main-course fare, it's best-known for its incredible pastries, made fresh daily on the premises. The place is run by two brothers who were trained at the Culinary Institute of America, and their skills show abundantly. Among the temptations are cheesecake, biscotti, tiramisu, cannolis, cookies, and cakes. "Lobster tails," which are pastries filled with Bavarian cream, are a signature. An espresso bar ensures that you have something robust to temper the rich sweets.

DOWNTOWN. Subtly lit and welcoming, this restaurant has been a Utica mainstay for many years, and its strong reputation provides assurance of great dining. The downtown establishment offers a substantial wine list, and tableside presentations of house-made and imported pastas, veal dishes, and the like are a stylish bit of spectacle. Steaks, pork chops, chicken, lobster tail, and fresh haddock prove enticing as well, and decadent, homemade desserts showcase freshness and flavor beautifully.

NEW YORK MILLS. If you guessed that this place is all about seafood, you'd be right! Pastas, salads, and appetizers all feature fish and shellfish, and all are unfailingly good. Steamed clams are a wonderful introduction, and so are sweet potato fries. Follow them with charbroiled salmon, lobster tails, pan-seared tuna, beer-battered haddock, or fried scallops. Lest landlubbers be distressed, let them know that steaks and chicken can be had, both in sandwiches and dinners. Vegetarian fare and children's options are available too.
