Food from the beautiful city of Utica, NY that as far as I know exists nowhere else.
Name: Chicken Riggatone (Chicken Riggies)
Category: Pasta
Description: Riggatone Pasta with romano cheese, olive oil, sometimes tomato sauce, sometimes ricotta cheese, chicken, and the KEY ingredient-> cherry peppers. Sounds simple and it is, but go there and try it.
Name: Tomato Pie
Category: Italian
Description: Thick, doughy crust with homemade tomato sauce on top, usually sprinkled with parmesean or romano. No Mozzarella. The crust is what makes it work, it has to be just right. It is usually served room temperature.
Name: Fried Greens
Category: Suprisingly delicious veggies
Description: Spinach, sauteed with olive oil and garlic, then mixed with calamata olives, cherry peppers, and topped with bread crumbs and romano. Damn!
