As a sidenote, I ordered the Clams Casino, which were the size of quarters, though flavorful not what I was expecting. my friend comes in from out of town every couple of months and we have always eaten at pasta Villa. We have both decided that next time we might try somewhere else.

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!

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'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.

Not sure where to start here. The whole experience was disappointing and frustrating. We had a…read morereservation for two, there was no one in front of us when we got to the restaurant. There was plenty of empty tables (inside and out), the restaurant wasn't too busy, and not short on staff. It took about 15 minutes just for someone to get us seated. more than 45 minutes for the waitress to take our order, and total of one hour and 48 minutes to get our food. The waitress didn't even fill up our glasses with water except for once (20 minutes after we sat) and another time when we got our food (one hour and 48 minutes later). I couldn't understand what's been taking so long especially when the restaurant wasn't too busy. There were only 2 other tables (of 2) out side and 2 other tables inside (one of 4 and one of 2). Several entrees on the menu were NOT available, and will no longer be served again (according to our waitress) so we were disappointed that both of the meals which we wanted to have are no longer served. I believe that the restaurant should update their online and in restaurant menus to reflect these changes. We had to rush eating our food since we had a show to attend after dinner, I couldn't even eat half of my food. After we paid, we realized that there were an extra charges and here's the breakdown: both meals were over charged from what they actually are on the menu, and there was another extra charge of 4% credit card fee. Neither of these two extra charges were deloused anywhere before we paid. Here's the most interesting part, we called the restaurant to express how we felt about our experience. The surprise was that the owner and chef in the same time, was unapologetic, defensive and rude. He said and I quote: "Well, we don't serve fast food here, at least was the food good?". When we mentioned that we missed the show, he said: "You guys are cutting it pretty close". We got to the restaurant 2 hours before the show. The show venue is only 4 minutes away from the restaurant. When we complained about the two extra charges for each plate, we got no comment rather than another question about the second extra charge. The owner/chef only explained the second extra charge and said "The credit card fee charge is standard, if you go to a car dealership, or a mechanic they will add it without letting you know". The food was alright, it was not bad but nothing spectacular either. My recommendation is if you'd like to have an Italian food, do yourself a favor and go to Limoncello, Lucano or Polizzi's. I'm sure there are more good ones that I haven't tried or forgot about.

We were seated in the adjacent dining room which had a wall separating the spaces. We liked this detail as it kept the noise out of the dining area. The booths were large and wide, very roomy. Absolutely loved the food! We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops as an appetizer. The scallops were delicious and buttery. You are given bread with olive oil prior to dinner. Our server offered to get us more multiple times. I ordered filet diprosa, listed as a house speciality. It came with a soup or salad, veggie side, and pasta side (I was able to choose from rice or potato as well). Very impressed with the amount of food offered with an entree. The steak in marsala sauce was perfect. I savored every bite. Our server was wonderful. She did a great job explaining all of the available options and stayed on top of our drinks throughout our visit. We left feeling full and satisfied. You get your moneys worth.
