Great Food Experience at Franklin Hotel in Rome N.Y.

Monday, May 21, 2012



As promised, here is our great experience we had the very next day at Vescio's Franklin Hotel in Rome NY ( they are on Facebook too). When you walk in the door, your surely in heaven with the many rows of pastry in the see through glass cases.  A real family atmosphere who runs the business.

Hard to get by these without wanting to eat dessert first!
The cannoli are fantastic!

Everything from pusties to biscotti and more!

Just amazing. Italian pastry heaven. The pusties, cannoli, cakes, Italian cookies, lobster claws and many other Italian specialities awaits you. This is as close to homemade as it gets. The service and family atmosphere is just what I needed to recover from that last dissappointing experience at Cavallo's. I could have stopped right here at the pastry then came the menu..... oh boy and yes great food! Thanks to Aunt Linda and Uncle Joe for bringing us here for lunch!

My husband and I had the Fried Haddock, cooked perfectly!
Great service and great food. All run by the family of course, Phil and Carol Vescio, are the owners( tell them Claudia sent you when you visit!) Phil Jr, does all the pastries, Mark is the chef, and Mary our gracious hostess.

With so many scrumpticious desserts I chose the Cannoli and it did not dissappoint me... I could have eaten many more! Delicious!!
So if your ever in Rome, stop in, you will be having a great dining experience. Look for these two guys, will be waiting for you! Say hi to the two Phil's!

  3. The pastry case really blows me away-that alone would keep me coming back. Great that this place has tasty entrees as well as a pastry case. I have never been anywhere that has both. A delicious stop in NY!

  7. That reminds me of some of the pastry cases I saw in Italy. I just returned from vacation and we never found a truly good restaurant, the one with the best food had the worst service. The waiter recommended bad wine and beer selections.

  10. Claudia thanks for sharing this. I've never been any where like that so this was fun to see. I would probably pass out if faced with such gorgeous pastries.

  11. Thanks for the info! I work over in Griffiss Park but have never noticed this place. I might be moving over there soon from New Hartford, so I'll definitely have to check it out. :)
