🍷 Get ready to channel a serious upstate vibe and master the legendary, specialized dishes that define Utica's rich Italian-American culinary heritage. Learn about the specific ingredients and techniques necessary to create the dishes you remember and love! We’re going beyond basic spaghetti and meatballs to create four of Utica’s most famous dishes - foods you’ll treasure and make again and again.
Menu:
- Utica Greens: The ultimate CNY appetizer. Sautéed escarole tossed with garlic, hot cherry peppers, crispy prosciutto, and toasted breadcrumbs.
- Tomato Pie: A thick, focaccia-style crust topped with a rich, savory tomato sauce and a dusting of Pecorino Romano—served traditional room temperature.
- Chicken Riggies: A must have in Upstate NY: rigatoni pasta tossed with chicken and spicy peppers in a creamy tomato sauce. Delici-o-so!
- Lemon Ricotta Cookies: Pillow-soft, cake-like cookies made with fresh ricotta and finished with a bright lemon glaze.
