Pasta con Funghi
Bethany G.

What a great place! The food is delicious, the ambiance is lovely, the staff is accommodating and friendly. I ordered the arancini, which was perfectly crispy in the outside, and cheesy, gooey and flavorful on the inside. For dinner I had the Pasta con Funghi. Holy cow, the truffle cream and goat cheese combo were phenomenal. I already have plans to go back and would be hard pressed to try something else, because this was so great. No complaints whatsoever. Can't wait to visit again

On our way up to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada over the Labor Day weekend. My wife and my brother & sister in law stopped at a hotel in Rochester for the night before finishing the trip the next day and crossing the border. Time to eat. It was later in the evening around 8:30pm Friday before Labor Day. We first stopped in at Murphy's Law (Irish Pub close to the hotel). We left without ordering. See that review on Yelp.) That's how we ended up at Veneto. Walked in, even though it was later, they were still working and we were greeted and sat without hesitation. Modern look with an open kitchen (which I love!). Not full but the staff were still busy. I could see this place really buzzing during peak hours. Renee was our server. Very nice and knowledgeable. Most of all, attentive. Also, she asked how the dishes were and was very enthusiastic about the desserts. Her enthusiasm is what sold us on dessert. Food came out quickly but not too quickly. We had: Housemade bread: Fantastic. Remarkably soft and silky texture. Perfect for dipping in olive oil. Pasta con Funghi with Truffle broth: I've never had a pasta dish with a broth before that wasn't a ramen dish. Perfect dish for me just then because it was late and I wasn't looking for a heavily sauced, meaty dish. It was Delicious!! Chicken Bruschetta Pizza: Probably the best pizza I've tasted outside of my own kitchen in quite some time. Chicken Parmigiano: Also good but underwhelming. My wife said it was good. Which is saying something. lol Also, the portion is huge and definitely shareable. My wife shared the dish with her sister and she still couldn't finish her half. Dessert: Housemade cannoli & chocolate cake. Both were fresh and delicious. Perfect, in fact. All in all, we had a great experience. Whenever we're in Rochester we'll be looking for Veneto. Definitely recommend. 3.9/5 stars

Had a group dinner tonight. We ordered the calamari, clams casino, bruschetta for appetizers. I also ordered the Rustica pizza. The food was amazing and the service excellent for our party of 15. I highly recommend Veneto's.

What a cool little pizza and Italian restaurant, was within walking distance of our hotel which made it great, tried some local beers that were on tap. Services were great and could see the kitchen very unique and great.

The new interior- different bar seating but it's great
Rob G.

Tree his was our first visit back to Veneto since they reopened after the fire last year. It was great- they have updated the interior and added a party room in the back- and the menu was pretty darn close to what it was before. The service, food and ambience e were all great. We spilt a large Veneto green salad- plenty for 2 ppl, and also split the Rustica wood fired pizza- which we love. Sausage and green peppers. It was a good night and I am so glad they are back in business!

Formaggio Pizza Dinner with pepperoni and sausage

This was my first time trying Veneto, and I was a little disappointed in the pizzas I ordered. I ordered 2 pizzas to go and had a gin and tonic while I waited. The server was attentive and courteous and made a great cocktail, but when I arrived home, the pizzas were overdone to the point where it impacted the flavor. I do plan on trying again, but I will be a little cautious when ordering.

Crab and shrimp risotto with peas and corn

Service was quick and the meal was delicious! The crab and shrimp risotto was served hot and delicious. I appreciated the amount of crab mixed in. Caesar salad was nice and fresh. Will definitely be back.

Mushroom/Fungi pizza
Roshan R.

Me and my wife love this restaurant. The chicken marsala was exquisite. One of the best I had. The mushroom pizza was delicious too, however, it was loaded with oil. I had the same issue with their Mediterranean pizza when I visited the last time. Also, this was my second visit here and they served complimentary bread this time. The last time I was here for dinner, they did not. I wonder why?! Also, the waiter never asked if we wanted more bread.

Capri restaurant no longer exists. If only we knew prior to seeing the rebrand (to a sports bar)…read moreposted on Instagram! They failed to notify those of us who had the restaurant reserved for our wedding rehearsal dinner. They ignored multiple attempts to reclaim our lost $500 deposit, ignored multiple email messages, calls, and Instagram DMs. I cannot recommend this place any less. Horrible business. 1 star because I cannot give 0.

If I could give 0 stars, I would! Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with the cob webs that…read morewere all over the place and questionable cleanliness when we went! I had booked my rehearsal dinner with Capri when they were a wine bar. Imagine my surprise when I randomly see on Instagram that they have completely rebranded and redesigned the restaurant to be a sports bar. Painted the interior black, changed the menu, even completed the space with some dart boards, a pool table, and beer decor. Not ONCE did they let me know about this change. I felt it was completely warranted that I get my $500 deposit back as this was far from the appropriate vibe for a rehearsal dinner and never was I even given the courtesy of letting me know their restaurant was changing. I have since reached out via email multiple times and left multiple voicemails without reply. I then messaged them on instagram asking for their contact, which they very promptly replied to because they weren't aware who I was. I confirmed the event coordinator was the same woman and email was the same. She has just been ignoring me. I then replied and told them to reply and asked they give me my deposit back and (shocker) they went MIA. Horrible business practices, I bet that if I didn't reach out to them and never saw about this change on Instagram, I would have showed up for my rehearsal dinner to discover this mess. Don't give them a cent of your money, they have plenty more than they deserve from holding my hundreds of dollars hostage :)

Apogee is a fantastic gem of a place in a quiet spot on Park Ave, far from the crowds and traffic…read moreand heavily perfumed masses. It feels like a hidden locals-only joint where you can grab a glass of your fave from a thoughtfully curated list of delicious options, and settle in with your better half, besties or a group of friends and just chill. We've been to Apogee a number of times before and 'after' covid, in colder months when we've been lucky to snag a window table, and in warmer times, like tonight, when we can sit outside and enjoy the flickering fireflies along with our sparkling rosè. Besides the pleasant atmosphere, Apogee has a beautifully appointed interior space, clean bathrooms, and a menu with cheese plates, cake, and more wines than you could taste in a summer. All of that plus super knowledgable 'bar tenders' (more like wine sommeliers) who can take your possibly clumsy description of what you think you want and offer up several perfect options, and you have the makings of a very pleasant evening. Book mark this place and plan to spend at least an hour enjoying an outside table!

Apogee was our baby shower venue. While people don't normally associate wine bar with baby shower,…read morewe made it work and Apogee was the perfect venue that met all of our needs. As a special events venue, Apogee was flexible with outside food and also with decorations. There was no additional venue rental/site fee, just a minimum spend amount (which we were confident that we would exceed). The venue is cozy and intimate, but has high ceilings so it did not feel claustrophobic at all, even with 30+ guests at one point. I'm a wine snob myself, so I was a bit skeptical initially when I saw their wine list. Most of the wines they serve retail for $10-20. They do have some bottles that are more expensive (retail ~$30). However, after tasting some of their entry level wines (Ancient Peaks Zinfandel & Gouguenheim Malbec), my worries vanished. Everything I tasted was excellent and drank better than their actual price point. Steve was a great host. He was laid back, but still friendly and attentive to all of our guests. He made sure everybody's drink needs were satisfied. He was also flexible with letting us in the venue early to set up and also staying late to clean up. I also liked the fact that they allowed us to bring our own wine, for a $15 per bottle corkage fee, which is fair. Anyways, Apogee is a great venue for a small party. They are flexible and reasonable. I would definitely recommend them as a wine bar and for hosting a private event (especially on a Sunday).

We've been meaning to try out Carnegie Cellars for a long time and 3 of us finally went in…read moretonight. The experience was amazing! The menu is different than other places, it goes from small to large plates and you order what you want and if you want more- keep ordering. My daughter got a flight of white wines and I got one of their beers, which was an interesting hazy IPA called Baby Kittens. Our waiter Philip was very knowledgeable on the wine selection and helped with the food order. We started out with the Flour City bread, which was toasted and had a dip of whipped ricotta with butternut squash - excellent! Next, we had the salt and pepper squid - their version of a fried calamari appetizer - also excellent with a nice little spice that snuck up on you a little bit. We followed that with the farm salad, which had a great cranberry vinaigrette. Then we had mussels which were over a jasmine rice that had a great sauce with it. The last dinner item we had was the butternut squash ravioli - so tasty! The table next to us got the fries, which was a huge mound of french fries with Parmesan cheese and I think something else on it. It was a lot of food. The waiter suggested their desserts, which was a choice of a huge slice of carrot cake or a skillet baked chocolate chip cookie or brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. We got the latter and it was excellent. The atmosphere was very subdued and great for a date or just a fun night out. I highly recommend visiting Carnegie Cellars!

Dan and I shared some wine flights with red wines from France, Canada, and Italy. They were all delicious. Then our awesome attentive waiter Richard told us we could order some small bites. We chose the "choose" 3 and ordered the artichoke spinach dip with pita chips & veggies, a cheddar soaked wine cheese, and can't forget the awesome herbed olives (my favorite). They also gave us some high quality aged balsamic and baguette. There's a local chocolatier - so we had to get the few pieces to pair with the red wine (orange peal chocolate, sesame chocolate, and truffle) and all were a treat. The live music was the perfect touch to an enjoyable evening and the service was top notch. We will definitely visit Flight Wine Bar again when visiting family in Rochester!

This was an enjoyable ladies night. Also, Wednesdays are half price bottles of wine. You can't beat that if you like wine. I'm so glad Flight was so accommodating. They also have fiber nights and make your own bonsai decorating as well. I'll definitely be frequenting as the weather warms up. Thank you for a memorable mid week boost.
