Is there no more classic match than spaghetti and meatballs? Where in Upstate, Central, and the Mohawk Valley region of New York can you order the best spaghetti dishes? Here's 21 spots.

With the influx of settling Italian immigrants in the early 1900s came a lot of really great food. For the first time in Upstate New York, old-world recipes were refreshed with ingredients that either weren’t available before, or were substitutes for things that weren’t available here. That's why Utica is truly a great Italian food hot spot.

Utica is of course famous for Chicken Riggies and Utica Greens, but lets not forget the classic dish of Spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti and meatballs was popular among Italian immigrants in New York City, who had access to a more meat.

When we asked this question on social media, we got tons of responses. Why did we choose spaghetti? Most restaurants make incredible sauces. If you're nervous trying new menu items, maybe you go with the classic first.

A plate of spaghetti can be a great way to experiment on a restaurant. Why? It's a simple dish. It can either be incredible, or it could taste bad. Either way, spaghetti is generally cheaper on a menu too, so if you do have a bad experience, you won't be out of too much money on the order.

Taking a look at the amazing restaurants all across the Mohawk Valley and Central New York,  here's just a handful of amazing places that serve the classic dish. If you have others that we should add to our list, feel free to text us on our station app.
