The food was pretty good but for the price of the subs I wish they were a little bit bigger. The ciabatta bread was soft and fresh; but it wasn't big enough for the meat portion and you were left with a lot of saucy bread at the end. For the price I wish they gave you an additional cutlet on the sandwich. I really enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. Definitely a place to try again, but I do wish they gave you more in terms of portion size.

I moved to Texas in '82 and only got back to Rochester a few years ago. I didn't realize Nino's was still in business till just recently. I stopped in there tonight and ordered an extra large Sicilian pie. Nino's son Jimmy is running it now. The place is a liite different inside but the pizza is as good as I remember...that marinara sauce is still the same, flavorful and slightly sweet, loaded with mozzarella and a very generous amount of fresh toppings, all at a very reasonable price. I've traveled the world since I've been gone, even to Italy, and I don't remember pizza better than this. I'm glad they are still around. If you're looking for a great Sicilian pie, look no farther then Nino's... Molto bene!

Our server was very attentive and offered great seasonal recommendations. *Squash Salad: a seasonal dish that perfectly captured the feeling of autumn, served in a hot cast iron skillet. The squash was sweet, garlicky, and buttery, topped with smoky breadcrumbs. The blistered tomatoes paired well with the balsamic glaze, adding sweetness and juiciness to each bite. *La Pina Loca: perfect mix of salty, sweet, and spicy. The pork was rendered beautifully, creating a savory oil that blended well with the pineapple. The jalapenos added mild heat, and the hot honey was subtle. The crust was thin with a good char on the bottom. If I lived closer, I would come here all the time. It is unfortunate that the squash salad is only a seasonal item because my group kept talking about how much we craved it afterward. The beverage menu was a bit limited, so I hope to see more beers on tap or additional mixed drinks in the future.

Cranberry and tomato burrata salad: it's a caprese salad, which I have nothing to complain about :) I did wish there were more tomatoes though, since the burrata was so large La pina loca--what an explosion of flavor!! I liked the hot honey with the pineapple, and the crust was really good Black garlic and funghi--Because we had the La pina loca first, this tasted a little bland in comparison. The crust was much crispier, but I felt like it missing something. But all in all, would definitely come back for good pizza, I want to try all the other flavors! Honestly Ardor Park was super close to 5 stars, if there was a 4.8 I would give it out!

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!

Take out portions are smaller and not as good- which makes no sense since I'm not taking up a valuable seat in your tiny space- but your restaurant looks down on me for getting take out instead of eating in and therefore I get smaller lower quality portions. Illogical. So many better choice for Italian are available in Rochester.

Louis was very helpful, explaining the menu and specials since it was my first visit. I decided to try the Detroit-style white top with Mike's honey drizzle and a pineapple Jarritos. While waiting, I sat on a few chairs outside in front of the garage. It took about 15 minutes, and my pizza was piping hot. My ricotta melted due to the steam, but it was still very good! The portion was generous, I could only finish one slice and took the rest to go. It's not a sit-down restaurant, it's perfect to take to-go; however, there is a table that you could stand and eat at, if you needed to. The decor was also nice and bright, with a unique twist with decor. Louis also mentioned they source most ingredients locally, which is noticeable in the freshness of every bite. He was kind enough to offer me a New York-style cheese slice, which was also delicious! While a little pricey, the quality justifies the price. I can't wait to return!

I used to love this place, but I got food the other day from here and it was horrible. The steak in the steak sub was almost dog food. It had zero taste to it, and there were hard, almost like bone or rocks in it. You know when you get really cheap beef and you bite into a piece of bone? That's what this was.

Don't skip the wings here, but make sure you know what flavors are offered before going for the plain-Jane mild or medium.

If you can't justify a trip out to Caledonia (or Avon, but I prefer this location) just for pizza, consider checking out the Genesee Country Village down the road first to work up your appetite.
