    Some pretty good items, know others who enjoy coming here. The shrimp french was fantastic. The haddock french was good. Unfortunately the pasta wasn't drained long enough or perhaps another factor in the takeout packing process led to just lemony water in the dish, as opposed to butter, oil or 'sauce'. Pasta was well-cooked al dente but as a result of all the water, had no flavor to it. Really was surprised as a pasta-focused restaurant. Service was friendly and efficient. There's a 3% additional charge to pay by credit card, referred to by staff as a 'cash discount'. Both prices are listed clearly on the bill before you pay, so that you can choose knowingly.

    Chicken parm/lasagna combo

    Ordered the parm/lasagna special - all three of us did - a hearty portion of lasagna with either chicken Parmesan or eggplant Parmesan - sooo good! Both had the perfect crispy crust paired with a meaty , cheesy lasagna with a generous red sauce - one of the best sauces I've had anywhere! The wait staff were hospitable, attentive and gracious.

    I had the opportunity to stop into Rosey's with my family during a recent weekend zip trip to Rochester and was so impressed: + They got 6 of us in on a fairly busy evening with no issues, even though it's a smaller spot. They were super welcoming and accommodating go to the kiddos, and made sure we were all comfortable and had what we needed. + The prices here are great. We had a bottle of Chianti for $19 and the entrees won't set you back too far either. They do a mean takeout game as well it seems and keep up with the volume with no issues. + The food is quite good! I went the eggplant and chicken parm combo with gnocchi on the side. Not the best gnocchi I've had in my life but very serviceable, I just tend to go for a more pillowy soft vibe as opposed to what is served here - a more sturdy style dumpling with ridges. The sauce is not quite as flavorfully robust as I prefer and with a thinner consistency, but that's totally personal preference. I don't know what bread they serve but it is soft and the perfect dipper for your leftover sauce. If you're looking for a good family option in Penfield this should be on your list!

    Very delicious! I enjoyed this fancy pasta from Uber eats and it's served with garlic bread. The sauce is really nice and I look forward to sampling more. They are also doing a Bogo special on their Caesar salad on Uber Eats and it was excellent as well!

    Old school, Rochester style Italian, on steroids. Home cooking in a little re-purposed house, with the owners on premises as hostess and chef. The beans and greens are the best I've ever had, and the red sauce is award-winning. Service is friendly, and although the restaurant is small, they move the patrons through, so there is little wait, although I recommend a reservation. Great value too. Just sublime.

    This review is for take-out; physical restaurant and/or staff not included!! To start, this is one of the places that actually gets your order right when you do takeout! I've noticed that many places mess it up-Rosey's did not. We had a pretty big order too. Thank you! Food wise, it was good! Portions are huge. In all honesty, my aunt and I were not super impressed though. Don't get me wrong, it was not bad in the slightest, I just didn't think it was anything special. I had rigatoni with vodka sauce. After a few bites, I thought that maybe adding shake parm would make it a bit more "wow"? It didn't do too much though. I am happy to come back, but think I will order something else besides the vodka sauce. It's always hit or miss for me! But.. we got FREE BREAD! A lot of it. And it tasted absolutely wonderful. Thank you! I had leftovers for breakfast the next day. Only reason I'm not giving 5/5 was simply because my aunt and I both agreed we weren't blown away by our dishes. Perhaps dining in would change my mind? I'll give it a try for sure...

    I sampled a catering spread. I liked the chicken parm over the chicken french. I think there should have been some Parmesean shake cheese available. The sauce was good, and the chicken parm chicken was crisp but not dry.

    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!

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.

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.
