Service was a bit slow and we worried we had been forgotten about by our server for a while, but the place was quite busy and there was a 30 minute wait to even be seated, so I'm letting it slide.

After we parked the car, we walked in the back door of restaurant , off the parking lot, where we were faced with two flights of very steep stairs, so we decided to walk up the driveway in order to walk into the front entrance. Our table was ready for us and our waitress was wonderful. The bread with seasoned dipping oil was very good, as was the seafood bisque. The rest of the meal was terrible. I ordered scallops with homemade pasta, sweet peas, and prosciutto. The pasta was very greasy. It tasted like the scallops and peas were fried in bacon grease and poured over the pasta. There were 3 very small, flat scallops in my dish. The meal was very salty with crunchy pieces of bacon bits. As my meal started to cool off there were small chunks of grease forming on my peas. My friend's pasta dish was blah. As far as ambiance, the music was too loud, and the lighting was poor. it was difficult to read the bill. Very pricey meal for what we got. Not going back. Very disappointed especially since it was my 83rd birthday.

I dined last night at Rosey's with 3 other people. Everything we ordered was great but I have to…read morerecommend HIGHLY the eggplant Parmesan and their meatballs! Both are FANTASTIC. I don't always like eggplant parm - but theirs is thin and crispy and very flavorful. Even my husband LOVED it - and he used to say he doesn't eat eggplant. Whenever I am at a place that has meatballs I always order one for the table to share - and am admittedly hard to impress. Rosey's meatballs are INCREDIBLE. When I was leaving I was telling someone (maybe the owner) that the meatball was wonderful and she told me they are homemade. That was one hundred percent how they tasted and honestly, had they not been already closed when we were leaving, I would have ordered some to take home. If you haven't been and you love a good Parmesan or meatball dish - GO! Also - our server, Mia, was incredibly kind and did a fabulous job of making us feel welcome and helping us order. Thank you, Rosey!

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!

We were so thankful for the early seating! We came in a little early as suggested, for our 8pm reservation of 9 and sure enough they were able to seat us right away at around 7:30! From the moment we were seated to the end of our meal EVERYTHING was 100% excellent!! Shout out to Ann for taking such great care of us! She was on top of everything! Friendly and attentive...didn't miss a beat! Her recommendations were spot on! From the appetizers to the main course! All were amazing! Her #1 recommendations were the calamari Sicilian style and the greens & beans BOTH were so tasty! And the greens and beans were so amazing, my uncle ordered them for his main course! The meatballs with ricotta were delicious as well as the antipasto salad. Everyone loved their dinners!! My capellini with the white clam sauce was wonderful! My husband loved his manicotti! The others in our group absolutely loved their meals too! Veal Parmesan, veal piccata, chicken French... what a crazy awesome dinner! We even forced ourselves to order desserts to pass around! The tiramisu and cannolis were amazing! A very popular place that has been enjoyed by locals for over 35 years! So glad we came here while visiting family in Rochester! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I'm honestly still shocked it took me this long to try Amore. For context, there are three very…read moresolid Italian restaurants within about half a square mile here: Amore, Lucano across from the East Ave Wegmans, and Tony D's. Competition is fierce, carbs are plentiful, and expectations are high. I lived near East Ave for years and somehow never wandered into Amore... a personal flaw, clearly. First impressions? Fantastic. The ambience is classy and warm, with a real effort to evoke parts of Italy without feeling cheesy. From the moment you arrive, there's valet service, someone opening the door, a friendly greeting at reception, and then you're guided inside. We headed straight to the bar, which is always my preference. Better people-watching, better odds of snagging seats, and an overall more fun vibe. Pro tip: go during happy hour, which runs from 5-6 pm on M-F. The bar was lively but not chaotic, and we had no trouble finding two seats. The happy hour menu is genuinely one of the best parts. Appetizers and select pizzas are discounted, and it's a great way to sample the menu without fully committing to an entrée. I've now been three times, and the pepperoni pizza from the happy hour menu has made repeat appearances. Wood-fired, generous cheese, delicious pepperoni, and I always ask for a side of chili peppers to really seal the deal. Other happy hour standouts include the meatballs. Two massive, juicy meatballs smothered in marinara that clearly knows what it's doing. When you order food, you also get complimentary bread with creamy butter, which never fails to win my heart. Drinks during happy hour are solid too, featuring Wegmans' own "Under the Tuscan Sun" selections along with well-priced local and domestic beers. Outside of happy hour, I've tried several entrées and haven't been disappointed. My significant other is fiercely loyal to the lamb gnocchi and orders it every single time. A man of habit, yes, but also a man with good taste. The dish is deeply flavorful, well seasoned, and the gnocchi are perfectly al dente. I highly recommend it. I've had the Cavetelli bolognese, which I loved for its rich, creamy sauce and satisfying protein. The shrimp scampi was another win. Plenty of shrimp (a personal pet peeve when restaurants skimp), well seasoned, and so good I cleaned my plate, which is rare for me. Most recently, I tried the beef short rib with roasted carrots, broccolini, and parsnip purée. The meat was tender and moist, not dry in the slightest, and felt like a cozy, elevated comfort dish. As an Italian restaurant, dessert matters, so we ordered the tiramisu to share with coffee. It tasted genuinely homemade, not overly sweet, and was the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I have no idea why it took me so long to try Amore, but it has officially become a regular spot for us. The happy hour is affordable and generous, and while entrées aren't discounted during that window, it's still very reasonable to grab a drink and an appetizer or pizza. Honestly, that alone could be a full meal.

I got a dry, overcooked piece of chicken with no spinach or sauce. It was served with my salad at the same time my companion got his salad. Who does that? I asked that my main dish be served at the proper time. This seemed to put three people in a kerfluffil. When it was time for entries, it was served again, still with no spinach or sauce. About seven minutes later, they served the Brussel Sprouts that I had ordered as a side to the chicken. They were cold. My companion's shrimp scampi was ok in his words. We used to love Amore but we won't be back. Not a good way to celebrate.
