“I must say! This is by far the absolute BEST Italian Restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to dine at!!! The appetizer was plentiful & delicious-greens & beans & sausage!! One of us had soup & ravioli-perfect!! Two of us had lasagna-the best I ever had!! Seriously! The dessert-amazing. The house red cab wonderful! The gentleman (owner?) very kind, attentive, amazing!! I cannot wait to return!! I would rate it 10 stars. 5 is far too few! Thank you for such a delicious meal on a snowy night!!“
“Mt first time ordering from there and I have to say my family and I are not disappointed the service when I walked in was very friendly and professional and the pizza was amazing especially with the hot honey sauceI will definitely be back to try different “
“Enjoyed an excellent meal last night with my wife. Berry salad was the perfect starter. Lobster ravioli with white wine cream sauce and langoustine lobster tails was scrumptious. I had the cioppino special and the broth was spiced just right for dipping with the garlic bread pieces. Clams, calamari, and mussels were tender and tasty. Salmon was a nice addition.We let our server make several wine choices that we enjoyed. Service was excellent and attentive. Pistachio cake dessert was a nice finish.We will return soon to try the honey lemon scallops and several of the shareables.Highly recommended!“
“I ordered the Zwiegles Hot Dog special. Buy 5 get 2 free including shipping. Shipping was via FedEx. Delivered just as I was arriving home. Packing was perfect. Hot dogs were cold and I put immediately in my freezer to enjoy all summer long. All the way from Rochester to Henderson, NV. Thanks.“
“True Italian Cuisine that's mouth warming and delicious. I noticed that most customers wipe their plates clean, so not too many doggie bags here.There were six in our party. and we ordered spaghetti & meatballs, a large, delicious bowl of tripe, 2 orders of raviolis and meatballs"and two orders of gnocchi with meatballs. And, some vino, Fiz root beers, ice water. Abd, of course, fresh, delicious home mak we bread for enjoying the delicious sauce served.Bon appetit!“
“A great dinner at Fiorella tonight. A cozy spot by the public market, this went under our radar for a long time until some friends recommended we give it a try.The food was incredible (for the most part), as well as the service. We came unbeknownst to us on gnocchi night (Thursdays), and the pizza special was meatball which we had to try. My main, the sausage and polenta, was absolutely delicious. I watched a lot of the chicken cutlet dishes come out while we were waiting and was wondering if I made the wrong choice, but I definitely didn't. Next time I'll definitely give the cutlets a try.Dessert was also killer. The lemon cookies with a scoop of the sweet cream gelato were incredible.One downside and what I am seeing on other reviews that I can corroborate is the Cacio e Pepe was just bland pasta and some cheese. Visually this dish looked amazing so I'm not sure how it missed on flavor so bad. A minor blemish on an overall wonderful dinner.Can't wait to come back here.“
“This was our first visit and it was fabulous. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and just nice to chat with. Our server, Kathryn, was awesome!! Love her. I had the moussaka and it was wonderful. Great flavor! Hubby had the wolf fish/scallop special. Again, delish. Cocktails were great and we got desserts to go. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!“
“First of all, I love their pizza. On my top 3 list. What was so special was that they helped us with my daughter's gender reveal. Also because the owner made the pizza himself for this occasion and used the sauce to make a G for a girl. All the staff came out to help us with this celebration and they were all so kind and thoughtful. They said it was the first time they ever did a gender reveal and on the spot too. Let's not make it the last!“
“One of our favorites in town - food and service always great! We have many birthdays dinners and family gatherings here. We often cater holidays from here as well! Always a must see around Christmas time as they decorate so beautifully! Thanks Red!“
“A Symphony for the Mouth. The perfect pizza. The best pizza in Rochester. Pizzaiolo and boss Jerry makes culinary works of art the rest of us call "pizzas." I've eaten pizza all over Rochester and hands down La Famiglia is our favorite place to go for pizza...pizza mervigliosa.The thin crust is crispy on the bottom and chewy on the top. The sauce is not overly seasoned nor salty, and you can taste tomato rather than oregano or some other additive. Lots of toppings. Everything just plain works together.Thanks also to "Jean from Long Island" who is a sincere, kind and knowledgable person who served our drinks and pizza. Made this meal a pleasure.Seriously, if you love pizza you have to have it here at La Famiglia. No other pizzeria comes close.“
“Lucano is truly a gem in Rochester, there is nowhere else like it! The service is so warm and friendly and of course the food incredible. They always have a great list of rotating specials, I highly recommend trying the frito misto and barramundi specials if they’re available!“
“Please start taking reservations!!! I’ve tried to go 4 different times over the last couple of months now with a wait time of 1.5hrs or more. I love this restaurant and luckily there are good options close by but haven’t even been able to enjoy Vern’s in far too long because of the wait.“
“I judge every restaurant by their Caesar salad….they passed the test! Also, HIGHLY recommend the Fig Blossom cocktail. The balance of flavors was perfect. It was very refreshing & laid back. Not overwhelming with sweetness or acidity. Made for a great double date! It’s very busy & noisy, which isn’t my favorite, but it’s clear that they are a hit with locals!“
“I love this cute spot in the Winton area. My friend was running late so I went to the bar and had a great. The bartender was great. She asked if I wanted their special, I can't recall the name of the drink, but it was grapefruit base margarita. It was delicious. My friend got there we sat in their outdoor area. It is a cute setup and a nice evening sitting outside. The waitress ( I didn't catch her name, but I want to assume that she is new at being a server ??) told us the specials and I asked if their chicken Tuscan pasta dish was the same dish that was posted on their FB page yesterday and she said she didn't know because she didn't work that day. I asked for a straw and never received it. She didn't refill our waters when needed, and the biggest thing was when she brought our check with our cards, she was trying to multi-task with having a tray of drinks and trying to put the booklet onto our table, she ending tossing it to our table. I have never gone to a restaurant where they toss anything onto my table. I do hope she was new at being a server and it that never happens again. (The food we ordered was delicious. We had the spring pea and asparagus Risotto, creamy and absolutely tasty. We also ordered the Fungi pizza, if you love mushrooms, this is the pizza you will love. Crust was crispy, and the combination of the ingredients was great!)“
“I've been here many times. Probably the best Italian food anywhere around Rochester. Food is always amazing, I'd recommend the chicken French. Service is fast and always very friendly. It can get busy during the dinner rush but if you get an early dinner you can avoid “
“Arlington Restaurant is a culinary delight! Their diverse menu offers something for everyone. The customer service is outstanding, with friendly staff catering to your every need. Whether you're in the mood for comfort food or something more exotic, Arlington Restaurant delivers a satisfying dining experience.“
“We had Mozzeroni cater our basketball banquet. The food was delicious and it we didn't have much food left. Their customer service was wonderful. I will use them again and again to cater any event that we are going to throw in the future.“
“Found a gem this past weekend! Clean cozy little restaurant on Buffalo Rd. Went for breakfast and it was sooooo good. Typical breakfast menu with a couple of specials including Frittatas. The number one thing that impressed me most was everything was hot. Not warm it was hot, which is not easy to do. Hash browns were crispy, pancakes and French toast were tender, sausage was tasty and not greasy, eggs were hot! The waitress was attentive and friendly and our coffee mugs were never empty. Do yourselves a favor and try Ezzys!“
“My vodka sauce was very spicy but they did do another dish for me without the spice I did appreciate that. It was too noisy but it is a pretty restaurant. the waitress was nice and pleasant but should not lean over customers as a rule when passing things , she seemed to do this a lot especially at one end of the table where someone was sitting and he did not like it. I wanted to give some real feedback but we will be back to try another dish and the pizza“
“Awesome food!! Never had a bad meal. Their steak subs are the best!!! Very tender, and an abundance of meat!! Also very accommodating, we work in a surgery center and needed to have our order done by a certain time and they were awesome and pulled it off.“
“Ok so if I could eat at this restaurant every day I would ! I have lunches catered though them a few times a month & let me tell you the raving that goes on at the office every time they cater! I have used this restaurant before and during Covid and now and their quality never dropped! They are always on time if not early their food is delicious!! The owner is so kind and caring. I love this place its my go to not only for work but also home. I had them cater my daughter’s birthday party, my friends shower and work events !! Honestly probably the best place in town do your self a favor and try them“
“Homemade Italian bread warm right out of the oven melted in our mouths. Servings were so large that we all needed containers to take at least half of our meals home. Eight people in our party and not a single complaint. This is a great restaurant with very reasonable prices for the quality and amount of food provided. Very good service.“
“Pizza Krunch is a fantastic new pizzeria. Some of the best Brooklyn-style slices I’ve had since moving to Roc!I tried the Buffalo, BBQ Chicken, and Veggie. All styles were delicious, the dough had a delicious taste and I’m told it’s made in-house. The service was fast and easy, and enjoy the chicken on both the Buffalo and BBQ.Highly recommend this pizza spot, especially if you’re craving a NYC style slice!“
“Don’t be fooled by the mall location. Cosimo’s pizza is seriously the best we’ve had in Rochester. Their pizza has great crust that is light, has perfect “pizza oven crunch” and is flavorful. Their sauce and cheese also have great flavor, and toppings are always fresh and cooked perfectly. The calzones are so filling and to die for. I don’t know why it took us so long to realize we could order full pizzas ahead of time but this is our new pizza night in go-to.“
“Nothing but great food, nice employees, and decent prices at this Italian spot. I genuinely cannot complain at all. The calamari is extremely fresh- crunchy on the outside and not too chewy; add in the marinara on the side is delicious. The dinner portions are very good considering the price; I get at least 2 nights worth of dinners out of one! The Caesar salad dressing is so good- you can tell is homemade which makes it even better. Overall, worth the money every time!“
“Some of the best Italian food around for sit down or take out, they do it right. And that's saying a lot since they are in Gates, NY. If you're an Italian restaurant in Gates, you have to be good and you have to be authentic and this place is just that. Throw a dart at the menu and it's gonna be good and it's really great value for your money. They are priced well below their quality. You can't go wrong here!“
“Had an excellent dinner! Two of us had the strip steak special which was huge and cooked perfectly. Sides were good size portions and everything tasted delicious. One had smothered chicken which they said was delicious. We started with the fried calamari which had excellent flavor. Make reservations as it is a very small restaurant and you likely will not be seated without one. We would absolutely go again.“
“Stopped in after a particularly rough day and Kendra took such good care of me, she completely turned it around. Food was delicious but the conversation took this experience all the way home. She's the definition of above and beyond. Thanks, sis!!“
“I went there for dinner while visiting my daughter in spencerport. I made a reservation with a Google Assistant. It's a small space and looked very busy, understandably since their food was very good. We started with bruschetta, and it had a wonderful balsamic tang. My daughter ordered chicken Cesar salad, while i got mushroom ravioli, which was to die for! It also came with salad and garlic bread with seasoned oil. The staff was wonderful, very friendly.Parking: The parking lot is on the back of the restaurant. There's no parking or standing on main st“
“WOW... 1st time going, won't be the last.. I had a specially (Alyssa) sub.. so pleasantly surprised at how good it was.. and the toasted bread was phenomenal.. as with anything made fresh.. 15 mins wait for the sub n it was a little pricey, but worth it... yes, I'll be back when the opportunity is there..“
“Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and owner and welcoming regulars at the bar as you walk in. Good specials and knowledgeable waiter who was their chef before. Food was solid but toast was overcooked and burnt. Serves until 10 so good for a late night dinner.“
“Hands down my favorite pizza in Rochester. I've tried most single and chain pizza places in the area and I haven't beaten this. I grew up near NYC so I have decently high pizza standards. But it's DELICIOUS. It's only take-out but it's worth “
“Cerame’s was the same old one I grew to like and eventually love.Vegetarian options: A lot of pasta and pizza without meatParking: A lot of spots and a short walk from the parking lot. Also easy to drive next to the building when dropping someone off or picking up take out.Kid-friendliness: A lot of pizza and pasta options on the menu. The kids also have their own menu to choose from if they’re smaller.“
“This Rochester original has been here for 80 years. The Bomber was huge(Rochester) and definitely delicious. As was the campi plate. For my first time here I'll be taking the 35 minute drive here again. . Plenty of seating and the atmosphere is welcoming..“
“One of the best pizza places in the area and by far the one with the best deep dish. Consistently solid food every time we order and have never been disappointed in anything we've tried (ever gotten breadsticks from somewhere and been sad they weren't good? you don't have to worry about that here!) Staff is always friendly and always busting their butts to get orders out fast. Just wish we lived closer so I could order more often!Parking: Parking is just off the street and near the back of the building. heads up that the lighting is pretty bad here.“
“We came on a Sunday night at 6 pm with a party of 12 men. Britney was our server and she was awesome. Food was hot and tasty, and large portions- everyone had a doggie bag. Don’t skip the desserts. They also were excellent. Great experience. They even had a gentleman playing and singing live music.“
“ORIENS!My children scream at the mention of this name! They are sold on their chocolate Oreo gelato. Not to mention they make great chili, perfect, warm and comforting on a cold Rochester afternoon.You can dine in here as well, and the service is always friendly and accommodating.“
