The best Italian food in Rochester! If you are looking for an Italian experience this place is for you. Good service and Italian vibes. read more

Fancy. Seemed perfect for a date night or dinner with family. I went here alone while on a work trip. Service was great. Atmosphere was good. But the Ricotta was good, but not nearly enough bread. Then the Chicken Aragosta did have huge portions, but was overly salty.ayne it was just my choices, but I wasn't blown away. read more

Last minute Monday night dinner with friends at our go to sure dining experience venue which we've frequented since it first opened. Seated immediately without reservation. It was very lively & busy for a Monday night. We had one of the best waitresses. She was fantastic. The food was not good, not picture worthy. The rolls were old, hard, stale. The Caesar salad was very wet/watery & plain, couldn't taste dressing. The pizza was cold. It is important I note the poor quality of food this time to my fellow diners. After decades of enjoyable dining here, I don't think we'll be back. It was a great run Boccacini's. read more

Everything!!! Food, service,atmosphere. Food was delicious and presentation was impressive! Will definitely return...

Great food, great service. Room a bit loud for conversation, but that's because there was a lot of energy in the room.

Stopped there last night to have dinner before the Jon Anderson show, and what a great stop. Excellent service and the food was great. Everything was reasonably priced, and we have enough food for dinner today. I would highly recommend. read more

So we went to Bocaccini's last night for an early dinner. I've been there before and there were no complaints from me then and certainly not last night either. We walked in without reservations. We got lucky because it was early and the hostess seated us at a table in the back and gave us our menus and then the waitress came over her name was Jessie and we placed our drink orders I got the 9oz Moscato which was really good and we also got ice water with Lemon. And then she came back with our drinks and we placed our food order. He got the Mahi Mahi with risotto that had squash in it. The risotto was delicious I had to taste test that. And I got the Arancini ( vegetarian) over penne pasta which was also delicious. And then we got dessert which was the crustless chocolate torte with raspberry sauce that was really good too. So all in all it was a very nice visit and then we went to the bar and had a drink each which was nice too. read more

Bocaccini's - Cool photo in the bar area - Italian Near Me - Fairport, New York

We had a recommendation from a local that we met in the airport on the way to visit Rochester. Made the drive down for dinner and an excellent time. Pizza and Alfredo were great. While delicious, I was recommended a dish with fried chicken stuffed with lobster and it was just too much. read more

I keep giving this place another try hoping it's going to improve, but it just leads to more disappointment. Had takeout from her last night, I was really craving greens and beans so I decided to try Bocaccini's and my friend decided to try the beef short ribs. The greens and beans were said to come with sausage but what they mean is very small bits of sausage within their thick, slimy sauce - I'm thinking they might use more crushed beans for their base then a broth which with so much leaves a gritty texture and taste in your mouth. Ok for about three bites, at the most. So disappointed. My friend had the short ribs that came as a really big mess piled on top of each other (ribs, potatoes, asparagus) but the taste was decent they said. Overall, expensive and not worth it. Was REALLY hoping for a better experience. read more

We showed up here and didn't have reservations but you better call ahead, we ended up getting a high top table luckily because they are super packed and to go orders constantly! The waitress and staff were super friendly, the food was very good and came out fast! Chicken parm was probably one of the top 2 parm's we have ever had, pizza was very good also. read more

Ordered via Grubhub while in a hotel for work and oh my, so yummy. They are very full portions, I was starving and still had a whole extra dinner. I will definitely try to dine in next trip! read more

My wife and I visited Bicaccini's to celebrate a special occasion and were very happy with the choice. A delightful establishment in an otherwise unimpressive mall. Nice ambiance, great food and a delightful server. The chicken parm was something special... Unique seasoning that was absolutely delicious and more cheese than I've ever seen on this dish... Can't wait to have it again! The only downside was that they seem to be set up for groups of four or more. Our table for two was kind of plopped in an empty spot near the server station and gave us the impression that it was an afterthought... A little uncomfortable. Still, an overall good experience and we can definitely recommend it. read more

Bocaccini's - Sometimes great restaurants do live in malls! - Italian Near Me - Fairport, New York

Our first time here with some friends. We had a reservation but our table was not yet ready when we arrived so we found a spot at the bar. We had drinks and our table was ready in about 10 minutes. Located in the Perinton Square in Fairport, the restaurant was easy to find. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant is accessible with no steps to enter. The food was just delicious! My favorite appetizer was the ricotta - just give me a spoon lol! Hubby and I each enjoyed our dinner (salmon & . Another highlight was the tiramisu for dessert. It was not a traditional tiramisu but tall like a cream pie with a thin chocolate crust, and so decadent. We would order that again for sure. We are already looking forward to our next visit here! read more

Great portions, friendly staff. No corkage fee Wednesdays. I love their Brussel sprouts.

My coworker and I selected this place at random, and what a great find! Bocaccinis is located in a shopping plaza. The dress code was pretty relaxed (I had on sneakers), but this place is versatile enough for a first date, business dinner, etc. It was dimly lit and had great music playing. We were able to sit without a reservation and our server immediately took our drink orders. We had calamari for the appetizer, spicy seafood pasta for one entree, and a baked chicken dish with pasta and artichokes for the other entree. The portions were huge and the food was so fresh. You could taste the olive oil and fresh garlic throughout each bite! The bread basket was a little stale, but the other items and the great service made up for that. Overall, this is a great place and I'd highly recommend! read more

I thought this place was really great! visiting from out of town and appreciated a great outdoor patio to enjoy the nice weather! the service was absolutely amazing - our waitress was AMAZING and so attentive for our big table of almost 10! I recommend getting the Sicilian calamari, arancini, and the brussels sprouts!!! all super yummy apps to start off with - also their bread and butter is DELICIOUS. still thinking about that. for the mains, I tried the herb crusted pork w the squash ravioli, shrimp and lobster risotto, and the spaghetti w meatball and sausage. I would 100% recommended the first two!! The pork was delicious with the ravioli and the risotto came with massive shrimp! I would probs pass on the spaghetti next time as it only came with your choice of 2 meatballs, 2 sausage, or one of each and I thought it was lacking meat and was just a lot of pasta! but overall, i'd definitely come back here!! great choice and looks like it's a newer place read more

Acoustics aren't great, there was a large raucous group in the middle of the dining room that mercifully left a little while after we sat down. The main issues we experienced were with service. Our salads and entrees came out at the exact same time. The appetizer dish was never cleared from the table. We had a bottle of wine and after the initial pour the waiter never came back to refill, same with the water. During dessert they were rearranging the tables presumably for the next day which isn't appropriate IMO with multiple groups of diners still in the restaurant. Entrees were a good size and enjoyed, appetizer not warm enough, cappuccino cake excellent. Nicely decorated in a fall theme with fresh mum, pumpkins etc. Option to sit outdoors if you'd like. Would probably give it another try when visiting our son at Fisher but would hope they'll work on the little things because those matter. read more

Great atmosphere. Food was good, comfortable service. Nice wine list. A bit pricy for a strip mall but convenient location.

Wow Service sucks again barely 1 drink The bartender guy is the most rudest dude I've ever met no personality Terrible service 30 Minutes to even get acknowledged They had 3 bartenders I wish I could pull a chef Ramsey on the guy and really educate the idiot I was ready to spend 200 + Walked out went somewhere else Ian a professional foodie I know when servers and or bartenders are fking up I wish I could talk with the bartender and the manager owner To let them know my experience Let me come in and educate the staff chef Ramsey style This has happened before I have eaten out 10 times in the past 2-3 weeks I will try again Mark Wanted Italian went to Panvino read more

I've been here 3 times in the last three months, for three different types of visits, and all the food has been delicious and service wonderful! First event was in the larger back room for work, second event was a private dinner, and third at the bar. Just missed the happy hour window. Yum to the greens and beans! read more

Bocaccini's - Greens and Beans = Delicious!! - Italian Near Me - Fairport, New York

We are regulars here, at least twice a month. Food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Last night we went at 5:30, they have a happy hour from 4-6 with a special bar menu that is wonderful and prices are practically half of normal prices. I had to post because I tried the Greens and beans ($9) and a spinach pizza ($11). Both were delicious but the Greens were superb, definitely original and like nothing I have had before. Music Mondays are always busy but we had a nice table on the patio close to the music. Staff is wonderful and the owner is usually on premises helping. Do yourself a favor and give them a short. I personally guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

Went to Bocaccini's because friends wanted to see a musician playing there. I usually avoid Italian food due to my intolerance to onions and garlic but my friends were going so I decided to go along. I let the waiter know about my issue as soon as I was seated and the way this restaurant handled it was wonderful. After a few failed attempts on my own to choose a suitable entree the waiter called the manager over and she quickly figured out the perfect solution. Shrimp sautéed in butter, olive oil and white wine served over pasta with some vegetables mixed in. It was perfect. The friend's meals were delicious as well. Five stars for delicious food and excellent service. read more

First time out there, won't be the last. The food that was coming out all looked great, it was tough to choose an entree. We had Brussels sprout app and it was excellent. Our dinners were also outstanding, and lunch for today. Our server was good, he was a busy guy. We met the owner and she couldn't have been nicer. The place was packed and I know why, it's a little loud in there but it was worth it. read more

Headed here on a Tuesday night at around 5 to find it pretty empty. Staff was so friendly & asked if we wanted a kids menu for our daughter. This was a pleasant surprise as I didn't see a kids menu on their website & my daughter was super happy she had something to color. Bread was free & butter was great as it was spreadable. I wish the bread was warm. My husband had a glass of wine, water for me & lemonade for my daughter. My daughter had the kids pasta with butter & cheese. Unfortunately since they drenched it in so much butter she didn't really enjoy it. We will have to ask for light butter next time. My husband had the lobster ravioli special which was hearty & filling. The shrimp were huge. I had the brussel sprout pizza without the pancetta. It was a great combination but wish the brussel sprouts were crispy. We had the peanut butter pie for dessert but they don't make their own desserts which didn't allow for my daughter just to get some whipped cream. No big deal but you could tell the desserts were around a few days. All & all a good meal & great service but over $100 so it is not somewhere we will frequent often. read more

Food and staff are top notch. It is crowded but. Service is amazing. I recommend this place highly

Waitress was nice and provided great service. Eggplant parm was very tough and had to be cut with a sharp knife. Perhaps most meals are fine, but the eggplant parm was not good. read more

When we were seated we walked by a few doors that were proppd open. It was low 50s outside, in my opinion if it's too cold for your patio seating to be open, it's too cold for your doors to be opened. I mentioned to the server that I moved my seat because of the colds draft. I was a parry of 5 seated at a table of 6, so I was in essence I was also sitting by myself. I moved a chair to the end, they filled the table behind me. The waitress asked me to move my chair back because they had now shut the doors. I declined, she said her manager wanted me to move. So over came the manager stating that I had to move back to the table by myself and they don't want other diners looking at my back (my back was not naked, nor did my clothing have an obscene message, it was a flowered shirt. I was told they arrange their tables so no one is look at anyone's back. I explained that if I sit by myself I cannot engage in conversation, and I was fine where I was, she was taken aback and walked away. I apologized to the table by us, and they said that it's no issue for me sitting there. Ridiculous, anywhere you sit you're looking at someone's back. Unfortunately the meals came and we've enjoyed it here before. The Cesar salad dressing was runny, the pizza dough seems to have gotten thinner. The veg lasagna order seemed like soup, not a true slice of lasagna. read more

We love Boccacini's! We go every few months with friends. Food is always delicious and the service is always terrific. This place has my favorite dish in Rochester: Salmon fra Diavalo, perfectly cooked salmon fillet, with a nicely spicy, light tomato sauce, over a huge pile of Asiago risotto. So yummy. My fav! Huge portion, always have leftovers. All the other dishes are great too, Spaghettini Alfredo, Penne Rosa, pizzas. All delish. read more

It is amazing how they remodeled the place! I have not been here in a few years and the remodel they did changes the whole atmosphere! The best part was the even after all of these changes the food and service have stayed the same! We had a great dinner with a wedge salad to start! Then I got PENNE FAGIOLI and it was so big I was able to share it with my daughter and have more for lunch the next day!

The restaurant was recently renovated and both the bar and dining areas are very attractive. The food and service are excellent. We've had Lasagna, salads and Pizza but expect to return for more. The website doesn't mention reservations but it does accept them and the restaurant was full both times we were there. read more

The place went through a complete renovation from the customer end. I don't know about the kitchen. The place was a dump before and looks nice now. New traffic pattern. Bar area is such a relief from before. I would recommend the half price happy hour! The food is over priced. Supposed to be higher end Italian, there are much better places to go to in Rochester and pay more. Wine priced too high. Salads leave much to be desired. read more

The herb crusted pork tenderloin was succulent. It melted in my mouth like butter. Not to mention the Dijon was the perfect sauce complement to the squash ravioli. The giggle water gin cocktail made us silly. Compliments to the chef, bartender, and server. Will be back tomorrow! Bonus points for being open on a Monday read more

The onion and garlic roasted soup is absolutely superb! I also had the limone chicken which was also amazing. The chicken was so tender I tried and was able to cut it with my spoon.
