The server and the staff were all pleasant and efficient and the ambiance is fantastic. Immaculate and upscale without the ridiculous prices that one might expect in Pittsford Plaza. The bad... They managed to mess up chicken parm. Two large cutlets, sadly stacked on top of each other so the bottom one was soggy. There was minimal sauce and virtually no cheese on the bottom cutlet and a frustratingly small dab of sauce and cheese on the top one. My vegetarian wife had eggplant and zucchini parm... No breading and so soaked in sauce that the veggies were mush. Inedible. The server was very nice about it and the restaurant made it right with us but I can't imagine wanting to return. We sincerely like the Mama G's brand and hope that other guests have better experiences.

The funghi and sausage pizzas were my favorites of the bunch. They were loaded with toppings and cooked well. The calamari was good too, although nothing particularly standout about it. I wouldn't get the side of garlic parm fries again. They lacked flavor and didn't seem very fresh. Service was fine just a bit slow at times. Overall, a decent meal.

Calamari is quite good; not industrially produced "rings" but real calamari. The mussel is also quite good. As soon as they seated us they served bread, though it was cold, not fresh and warm.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Angelina's, and from the moment we walked in, they made us…read morefeel truly special. The hostess and our server knew it was our anniversary from the reservation and wished us a happy anniversary right away. There was even a beautiful "Happy Anniversary" sign waiting for us on the table. The owner also stopped by personally to wish us a happy anniversary, and they surprised us with two small glasses of complimentary champagne. It was such a lovely way to start the evening. We ordered the panzanella salad, street corn, and a large, shareable ribeye with potatoes. Everything was superb--truly excellent. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was romantic and low-key, and the entire experience was outstanding. They struck the perfect balance of making us feel celebrated without being over the top. For dessert, we had the funfetti cake, which was absolutely divine. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our evening and can't wait to go back to Angelina's!

I look forward to trying from the fall and winter menus as well. I'll definitely be trying a dessert next time. Their s'mores one and funfetti cake both sounded delicious. I was too full from the appetizers and dinner to attempt a third course.

Vern's is definitely one of those spots that's worth a visit! They don't take reservations, and…read morewhen we arrived around 7:30pm on a Sunday evening, it was packed. We were quoted about a 40-minute wait for a table, but told bar seating might open up sooner (around 30 minutes). They took my number and we stepped outside to take a walk around the block while we waited. We ended up getting a text about the bar seat availability in about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, things turned around quickly. The space has a really cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting, warm atmosphere and overall it feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered hot toddies to drink, which were perfect for the weather, and for food we got the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cavolo nero pesto. Both dishes were incredibly delicious - flavorful and well-balanced. Just be prepared for a wait (and maybe stay nearby instead of wandering off), but once you're in, it's a great experience!

We tried out Vern's for the first time on a Thursday evening! We made it there by about 5:00 PM and…read moreit was easy enough to get a table for 2 with only indoor seating available. It's a small space inside but it's designed well enough to manage a flow of traffic for customers and staff. We sat in the back greenhouse area. I think the least enjoyable part of our experience was how loud it was in the restaurant. Definitely not a good spot if you're trying to catch up with someone and your voice doesn't carry. I couldn't actually hear the specials the server was telling us. I want to try out Vern's again, so I may wait until there's an outdoor table or ask to sit in the second level to see if that's quieter. We tried one of their spring menu appetizer items, the Japanese sweet potatoes with kimchi ranch and dill. One bite and I was addicted, these were so so good. We then moved on to the classics for entrees -- bee sting pizza and the ragu-- and we were amazed at how good everything was! The only note we had was about the pizza, it was very soggy in the middle but still edible if you rolled it over in itself. We also had a few cocktails, and while they were somewhat small, you could tell they weren't watered down in any way. Two drinks was more than enough for me. Overall it was a great experience and we want to try it again. If you're someone who struggles to enjoy a meal out where you can't hear much, maybe wait for outdoor tables.

We would have been better with the roaches at Texas Roadhouse. I am not above spending a lot of money on steak. In fact, I suffer from the delusion that more expensive steak = better steak. So for the prices Delmonicos is charging, it should have been an amazing steak. The steak we ordered was cooked to perfection at our request of medium rare. But the steak was way too over seasoned and the accompanying pasta way over done. Also I think the pasta sauce came from the gas station down the street. We also tried the 12-ounce salmon (which is a massive portion of salmon). It came over a risotto that tasted way too salty and under a Gorgonzola cheese that actually made me vomit in my mouth a little. So why 2 stars instead of 1? The service was impeccable and the only saving grace of the evening.
