What a lovely experience…read more Ambience is semi formal but I noticed most people dressed pretty casually. Lighting and decoration was very intimate . There are big glass windows to provide very nice natural light as well. Food was delicious! Huge portions!!! If you get a risotto dish, they do NOT skimp on that! It almost over balances the dish but it's still delicious. Dessert was also amazing. The tiramisu and crunchy cake both had what seemed like a delicious brownie crust. Added nice flavor to the already delicious course. Also, our waitress was amazing ! Very knowledgeable and very on top of it. Next time I go I'd like to try some of their drinks!

So we are at the BBQ festival a few weeks ago to watch Joe Samba and we happen upon Gia's Pizza…read moreKitchen. It's just around the corner from the festival. First let me say it was pretty dang busy.. but for a damn good reason! Got a large cup and char pepperoni, extra cheese, extra sauce because me and my wife are sauce fanatics, and ordered crispy bottom. Also got chicken fingers and some little powdery sugar coated fried dough with a buttery cinnamon dip. First the pizza.... insane!!! Sauce is literally perfect! Not too sweet not too tart all the right seasonings! Whatever Cheese they use is incredible too just pure gooey, stringy, tasty cheese... not like some cheese where it sounds like your teeth are doing the windows with a squeegee and you have to chew forever. Pepperoni has great taste too and a perfect crispness to it! Fingers were perfectly cooked and had an incredible BBQ sauce with them! Now onto those little fried dough pieces.... cooked to perfection! Lots of powdered sugar and the best freaking cinnamon butter dip I've had in a long while. We could have drank that dip it was just OMG! Even being packed to the rafters and absolutely no reservations left for the night, we got our food faster than we thought we would. That was our great experience! Now the crazy part... we had other family meet us later on, and when they came over, both them and their 2 kids they were raving about "the best freaking BBQ Chicken pizza they have ever had"......... guess what it's freaking Gia's! Just wanted to make sure people know how damn good this place is! Most places when asked for extra sauce and extra cheese cant give me a pizza without burning the top to crisp the bottom, I've just become used to it at this point to have a little extra char on the crust, pepperoni, etc. Not these guys... crispy bottom, perfect cup and char up top, and the middle wasn't soggy like a lot of them out there. Perfection! Not sure if we met the owner or the cook or if he was both, but he was a cool guy and the rest of the staff was wonderful too. Sorry for taking so long but you deserve this review! This place is ! Seriously!

Great find for us on New Year's Eve! My wife and I found our plans changing and decided to just do…read morean early NYE dinner close to home. I'd driven by Gia's recently and the combination of curiosity and availability (around 5 pm) made them an excellent choice... But the excellence didn't stop there! The dining area is small but very neat and clean and the tables aren't pushed together so closely that you can sample your neighbor's food. Nice decor but not fancy. Our server was a delight! She chatted with us and made suggestions but was never overbearing. Both she and the owner checked on us several times but we're in no way intrusive. Perfect balance of great service. The food (limited holiday menu) was great! Homemade bread, meatballs and sauce... Absolutely delicious... Preceded by a fresh salad with house made Italian dressing. Everything was just right. Very definitely recommend that you give this casual little restaurant a try. They do it better than many of the fancier Italian restaurants in the area. Can't wait to try out their regular menu

They seemed to be celebrating their 25th anniversary of being in business. The food was quite good, especially the meatball/pesto pizza that we ordered. Service was a little odd.

When I inquired, he informed me that he was waiting tables on the opposite side of the restaurant, however, he agreed to "pick up" our table. Huh?

So, we wanted something special for a Wednesday, so we re-visited what is basically a little…read moregastro-wine-pub in Fairport. In sum, it was kind of meh and overpriced. We started with a flight of mediocre (as it turned out) red wines; a Grenache, an Italian varietal, and a Cabernet. 3x2 or 6 ounces for $15.00. None of the wines were very good. We like to sample wines by the flight so we can drive up to Georgetown liquor and get a bottle. None of these were even close to prompting a visit there. For food we had a peach, tomato, quinoa, goat, and kale salad. We also had a cheese flight and I had the spicy meatballs. Expensive and very small portions. My meatball app was $15 and was 1 and 1/2 small meatballs doused in Frank's with a squirt of blue cheese. It was spicy as advertised but meager. Cheese flight was ok, but also $13 for not a lot. Spoiler alert: if their menu says 'shareable', it's not, unless one of you (or both) are fasting. Service was adequate and we got to enjoy the live music entertainment sound check (we got there before the actual performance). Guy banging on the percussion box: yes, it's way too loud for the tiny space. Usual server upselling of their overpriced menu items and drinks, but not delivering much in the way of hospitality or warmth. I don't think we would go back unless one of our friends wanted to. I think if you just want to drink and listen to live music, this place will work for you.

We were visiting my cousin in Penfield, NY and we really wanted Italian food. My cousin said that…read morethere are so many good Italian restaurants in the Rochester area it was impossible to count them. But he wanted to take us to his favorite, which was Rosey's Italian Cafe. We had lasagna, greens (escarole) and beans, and shrimp Parmesan with a side of spaghetti aglio e olio. The portions were HUGE, and yet we all finished every bit of our meals - no leftovers to take home. The food was amazing. Homemade, tasty, wonderful red sauce, everything was so good we just couldn't stop eating. They had to roll us out of there, and we all went home and took a nap. It's the best Italian food I've had in a really long time - just so GOOD! We'll be back to visit my cousin again soon, and make sure we definitely eat at Rosey's again!
