DeMatteo’s

DeMatteo’s is a family-owned Italian-American restaurant in Rome that has been welcoming guests for generations. It has earned a reputation for homemade food in a classic Italian-American style, the kind of place where families come back for the dishes they grew up on and bring the next generation along.

Rome is the Oneida County city where Erie Canal construction began and the home of Fort Stanwix National Monument. A restaurant that has stuck around across generations is part of how a city like this keeps its own history of good eating.
