Found my favorite Italian restaurant in Rochester New York. One of the best Italian food I have had in western New York. Portions are big, prices are very affordable. 10/10 would recommend.

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
Amazing place.. best home made Italian restaurant, big food plates…

Best Italian food in Rochester. Period. I've had so many great meals here over the years. It's hard to pinpoint my favorite. It's all so good.

Well, last night was a birthday bash, 10 people, 3 kids, 1 teen, and 6 adults.Not a word was said about my 3-year-old, who at her whim went to & fro around or under the table for the dinner.First, we tried 3 appetizers that stood out by miles. The portobello mushroom it was fantastic. The artichokes came out very well, and the broccoli French wish,i had Celtic salt to add, at least for meThe drinks were stiff !The lemon grouper ( me ) is absolutely killerChicken Marsella is delicious, steaks perfectPastas are all good & bread and butter.The staff was great diligent and friendly!We were greeted by the wonderful lady of another birthday party who was having a double party, and apparently 2 other birthday parties congratulations to all.Kid-friendliness: My 3 grandchildren had a great time and loved the chocolate cake 3 pieces lolol
My favorite Italian restaurant. Year after year, their food and service is consistently great.

I was in town late in the evening for a work trip, and I needed dinner close by and quickly. This turned out to be a great place for dinner, and very convenient to my hotel. The waitstaff were excellent and very accommodating. They let me order a lunch portion of the pasta even though it was dinner service, because I was on a business trip and couldn't take leftovers with me for the next day. Even so, the portion was extremely generous and I couldn't finish it, which was a shame because it was really delicious. The waitress sent me back to my hotel with a cannoli on the house, which was very kind of her! I would recommend this place to anyone!

We have ordered takeout from this restaurant before and the eggplant parmesan was very good. This time around, it didn't even look like eggplant parmesan. The eggplant was crunchy and not cooked properly, and there was hardley any cheese to speak of. The pasta sauce was watery. The salad was insipid. Not at all worth the higher price point. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from this establishment again.

Took my kids here for a nice pre Christmas dinner and we all loved our meals. Good old fashioned American Italian food with a small family feel. I've never had a bad experience here and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food and services.

Huge portions of not very good Italian food. Sadly we will not return. I really wanted to like this friendly, clean place with well spaced tables and nice separate bar. The saltimbocca was overpowered by raw garlic, salt and huge amounts of pepper. Ugh. Same with inedible mashed potatoes. Gnocchi not good, spaghetti & meatball with thin red sauce and indifferent quality of meat. The Parmesan “cheese” is the cheap stuff that comes ground up in a plastic bottle. I lived in Italy for several years.
