    First time visit here. They have very affordable lunch specials. Plenty of seating, service was quick and prompt. I tried their standard fare of burger and fries. Very decent. My friend tried their Fatoosh salad. Portions are generous and he had a hard time finishing his. Lots of choices on their menu: salads, Mediterranean, breakfast, Appetizers, Wraps, Seafood, Oriental, Pasta, Gyros, Childrens menu, etc., so everyone can find something they like. Will be visiting this spot again - will try it for breakfast as they seem to have reasonably priced specials which are available on Saturday mornings as well.

    Egg white, feta & tomatoe omelet. ..excellent! *  Food always fresh here!

    Its good for breakfast, omelettes are good, pancakes are good, and staff members are friendly for the most part.

    Sub standard food and service, but costs the same as better restaurants nearby. Why bother?

    A few years ago we had came here and had a bad visit. Since then, we have come back 3 times. Today…read morewas the third visit. We were seated immediately and it was so empty because it was 4, before dinner rush. It was very quiet inside which was nice. Our server was super awesome. She got us drinks and bread right away and gave us time to see the menu. We ordered our food and started eating. The bread was very tough which was strange. I don't remember it being so hard. I asked for another bread when she brought out refills. The new one wasn't as tough but it was still hard. I let my husband eat it and he ate some of it but agreed it was tougher than usual. He ordered calamari and ate all of it. He said it is super delicious. The fettucine alfredo we ordered came out. It tasted so amazing. It was so buttery and creamy, a definite improvement from a few years ago. We were very impressed with the food overall. The only issue was the bread. The service was really great as well.

    We have been to this restaurant Many times over years but…read moreit had been a minute. We requested to be seated in front side section which is a little quieter. Our server was friendly and attentive. Their signature bread was hot and delicious. We tried the Costa Rican fish and Chicken Marsala. First the green beans were delicious. I really hate it when the veggie side dish is mushy, an after thought or a medley. Portion size good and marsala sauce was yummy. My husband enjoyed his fish. I got their special midnight martini and they shake/mix and pour at your table. Taste and presentation good. My husband got an old fashioned and while it tasted good, zero presentation. The smores cheesecake was delicious and after dinner coffee hot and strong so I was happy! Overall lovely evening.

    Visited Bologna for our anniversary and it did not disappoint!…read more I saw online you could make reservations but you had to put down a $20 deposit, yikes. We took our chances and came on a Saturday night at 5p. Thankfully the place wasn't busy yet. We got a table in the back entrance and it was perfect. Very romantic with the lighting and intimate dining experience. By the time 530p-6p rolled around it was pretty packed. Our waitress was great - attentive and welcoming. Large menu with lots of options both food and drink. The bread and oil were divine. We went with the happy hour menu which was impressive to see on a weekend. The happy hour menu was amazing - a ton of drink and food options. We were able to order two cocktails and 4 food items all for about $60! The limoncello spritz and limoncello martini were both so delicious and balanced. Ordered the tomato and cucumber salad, carciofi fritti artichoke, mussels, and the meatball trio. I am still dreaming of this meal and would eat it again in a heartbeat! Everything was a good portion size even for happy hour and so delicious. Meatballs were tender, the artichoke had an amazing breading on it, the mussels were fresh, and the salad was refreshing. We were so full afterwards and had to decline dessert. Downstairs has the restrooms but there was a single stall restroom on the main dining floor too. In the front is more of a bar type seating, middle houses the kitchen and the back is the more moody dining room. Metered parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Such a great spot in downtown Rochester!

    We just stopped in early for dinner. Sat at the bar. Surprised to find it was happy hour!…read more Ordered the build your own pasta. The Palomino sauce was amazing! Blackened shrimp, spinach and penne pasta combined for my perfect meal! The Italian Wedding soup and bread finished off a delicious dinner.
