    Bow tie Pasta, Peas & ricotta with a bread crumb topping.
    Penny L.

    We made reservations earlier in the week for Saturday night @6:30. Neither of us have ever been Perlo's before so we were both curious about the restaurant. We went in and immediately you are at the hostess station and we checked in, we reserved a round table as we were waiting for the other 4 people in our group. The hostess sat us at our table like immediately and had the menus & specials of the day already on the table. The waitress came shortly thereafter and took our drink orders. And we waited for about 15 minutes for the rest of our party to show up. The waitress came back and took our appetizer orders and the drink orders for the table. The waitress was nice and knowledgeable she was busy so there wasn't much time for her to exchange pleasantries. The table that we sat at was in the corner right by the kitchen and it was darker there than in the rest of the dining area and the AC was on and I was freezing. However once I started eating & drinking I warmed up. Overall it was a nice establishment and a change from the norm. Then about 15 or so minutes later the waitress came back with our appetizers which were artichokes French & Calamari the artichokes French was really good and the 2 baskets of rolls that were complimentary to the table were delicious and served hot cuz the butter wasn't soft. The waitress then took our food orders and it took about 15 minutes for our food to arrive and when it did it was hot and delicious. I ordered the bow tie pasta, Ricotta and peas and in my opinion it was delicious my BF got the Fra Diavolo to which he thought was really good too the rest of our dining party was happy with their dinners as well. Then we got dessert for the table I got the chocolate cake and my BF got the cheesecake with the pecans both were delicious and then after we were finished with our meal and about to leave Donna Perlo came over to our table and spoke to my BF for a moment. That was nice gesture on her part so all in all a great night was had by the 4 of us. I'd definitely go back there again.

    If you're looking for nice Italian food with a home cooked, feel give, Perlo's a try We had a delightful waitress, who was very knowledgeable, and made some great recommendations. We loved the pasta dishes the best and the pizza the least.

    While visiting Rochester last week, our friends chose an Italian restaurant knowing Italian food is pretty much our favorite. We've never been to Perlo's on our previous visits. We won't make that mistake again. The menu is extensive with virtually every dish named after someone. (I believe the dishes are named after customers but I forgot to ask). It took me more time than usual to choose that perfect entrée' as everything on the menu looked so fantastic. I was also easily distracted watching waiters bring out dishes to other tables as well. My final choice (and our friend's as well) was Chicken Marsala. Chicken, mushrooms and artichokes along with the wonderful Marsala wine made this dish perfect. My wife enjoyed her lasagna as well commenting on the amazing sauce and flavors. Our friend's wife ordered Linguine and Clams. Soup or salad along with fresh baked bread was also served. Service was flawless. I mean really flawless. We never wanted for anything. I was reminded of dining in Europe where being a waiter in a fine restaurant is a profession rather than "just a job". Our waiter had that aura of professionalism. A great evening of food and friends!

    We had a reservation which we arrived a few minutes early for and were told we'd be accommodated in…read more10 minutes which turned into 25. There's not a lobby area so folks are funneled to the bar so there were others waiting there as well and it felt a bit like that was the idea to get people to start a tab there first. When we were seated it was at a table for 6 whilst we were 3 and right by the kitchen which didn't feel worth the wait or the trouble of making a reservation in advance. The bread basket was tasteless, cold and just had little butter cubes. The bottle of wine my husband chose they didn't have so we had to choose an alternate and the waiter needed to be reminded about our son's diet coke when he only brought the wine out and didn't come back with the soda. The wine glasses were never refilled. Meals were fine and good size portions. Our son is only a sophomore at Fisher so since the experience failed to impress I'm not sure if we'll opt to give it another try or not.

    What a little gem! I never would have guessed from the curb, but as you walk in to the store front…read moreand it takes you in to a charming Tuscan courtyard feel! Beautiful spot, great service and awesome good! Be forewarned...the bread is yummy, and then the house lemoncello dressing so good, I could have stopped there, but then I would have mjssed out! You will be stuffed, but you should definitely save room for dessert or take some home! My friend got the coconut cake, and I got the lemon, and they were some of the best we've ever had!

    First time with another couple who had been before. I had read many of the reviews here and Trip…read moreAdvisor which also included old location vs new location. Six o'clock reservation on a saturday walked right in and got seated. It is a bit cavernous (older brick building which used to be home to American Can Co). Was not cramped with well spaced tables and not overly loud, did not notice any music playing and was not crowded with a few open tables. Menus were printed on the paper table placings (front/back) which probably came about because of Covid and a great idea. Found serving sizes ample and food well cooked and seasoned. Hugh plate of egg plant parm, two rib bone in pork chop cooked to perfection, beef short rib, "The Bear" (off the bone, they also had a short rib special on the bone this night), 4th entree was a pasta dish (gnocchi?). Did not have drinks other than water and a couple of beers so can not review wines or mixed drinks. Only reason for 4 stars is the parking is horrible on location so save yourself the time and park right across the street at the municiipal free parking.

    Dinner with friends…read more We didn't have a reservation but got an outside table right away. Service was friendly and efficient. Even when I accidentally knocked down one of our drinks. We got a selection of appetizers and they were all good: Brussels sprouts, meatballs and calamari. I opted for the veal parm which was a generous serving with pasta. One of my companions opted for a pizza which looked delicious. I opted for the "nonna's mule" as my drink and it was refreshing. It's always nice to be surprised by good Italian food because I don't always want to cook it myself!

    I've heard so much about Capone's sandwiches on social media. I had to stop in and try one…read more The restaurant is small but tables are available for dining in. They also have drink coolers available with a wide variety to choose from. The woman who took our order was very nice. The ordering process was quick and simple. Sandwiches were ready within 10 minutes. Absolutely loved my sub! I ordered a large vodka parmesan sub with house made pesto drizzle. I enjoyed the crusty bread and sauce flavors. My husband ordered a cold sub and was happy with how stacked it was. He also said the house made Italian dressing was delicious. The sandwich was perfect and I can see Capone's being my new sub go to. The sub was around 19 with tax which is a little pricey to me, but the quality was excellent. I was interested in pizza but didn't like seeing the pizza slices just sitting out in the open. They are not covered or in any type of casing. I don't like the idea of slices just sitting out like that exposed to the atmosphere. Will have to order a freshly made pie to try.

You can really tell the ingredients are high quality and made with care. We also tried several subs, including the buffalo chicken, meatball sub, and the vodka chicken parm sub, and every single one was fantastic. The flavors were bold, the sauces were spot on, and the portions were very generous. Nothing tasted rushed or thrown together--everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The dining area is a bit small, but it has a cozy feel, and honestly, the food is the real star here. If you're looking for amazing Italian comfort food done right, Capone's is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be coming back again.
