45 Best Italian Restaurants near Fairport

“fantastic dinner last night, the ravioli was the best I've ever had. Noah is a fantastic waiter and we certainly adore our Rachel.“

“Perfect experience! The atmosphere, food & service was amazing!! They do have gluten free options for anyone who needs it.“

“We usually only order pizza (The Best) but decided to try the Thursday special, LARGE
cold sub for $10 plus a 20oz drink.
Here’s the truth…it was the best sub we’ve ever had and hubby is an expert.
Since we know the owner, we assumed he gave us the ultimate sub. Nope, when I called to thank him for the extra attention I was told that all the subs are made the same for everyone. Super impressed, highly recommend.“

“10/10! I was blown away. Absolutely hands down one of Rochester’s best restaurants. Friendly and quick staff and the food… 🤤 oh the food. The food was DELICIOUS! Cooked to perfection, and as 2 chefs on a date who are highly critical of others cooking, we were BOTH impressed. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, and presentation was impeccable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took some pics & vids and have a smaller social media of 22K that i plan on directing to go to this extremely good restaurant if they are in the Rochester area. The cocktails are presented with class and flare as well. If you’re looking for that perfect place for a romantic date night dinner, business meeting or just a foodie… this is a MUST-GO! Thanks to the amazing chef who was so accommodating! We will definitely be back!“

“I took my elderly mother here for lunch with my 15 year old because she has been craving Italian and it was close to where my mother lives. We couldn't stop talking about how nice of an atmosphere it was!! There was road and parking lot construction and since we weren't use to the area , we didn't know there was a ramp to help my mother, but every staff member was so courteous and friendly helping my mom and my 15 year old get them both in (while I went to park the car). The excellent customer service didn't stop there......... throughout our meal, water was filled up and they especially made sure my mother was comfortable! We were all also impressed how wonderful the food was! We stopped there on a whim, but you definitely have some new customers!“

“Rizzi’s was the perfect place to host my bridal shower. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and effortless. We were greeted by the beautiful Tevis, who was behind the bar serving everything herself, which made service fast and seamless. Guests enjoyed bright, fun mimosa options including classic, pomegranate, and pineapple, along with perfectly crafted Bloody Marys garnished with jumbo shrimp, olive and lime skewers, bacon, and celery. The drinks immediately set a fun, celebratory tone and made everyone feel taken care of right away. The ambiance was cozy, intimate, and full of classic Italian charm, creating the perfect setting to celebrate and capture meaningful moments without feeling overwhelming. The food was outstanding. The charcuterie spread was delicious and paired with an olive tapenade I am still craving, along with thoughtfully selected accompaniments. While I chose classic, simple entrées, they truly shined. The rigatoni with red sauce was rich and comforting, the chicken cutlets were perfectly tender, and the seasonal vegetables were fresh and beautifully prepared, all served in generous portions. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when hosting a special event. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, kind, and incredibly accommodating, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. What truly stood out was how affordable everything was for the quality, presentation, and level of service. Rizzi’s delivers an elevated experience without feeling overpriced. I am so grateful we chose Rizzi’s for such a special milestone and would highly recommend it for any bridal shower or intimate celebration. 🤍“

“Absolutely delicious pizza and the nicest person behind the register! My wife and daughter LOVE the pizza, my only hope is they some day carry vegan pizza, so I can love it as much as they does (wink wink)! I pick the pizza up monthly, and it NEVER disappoints the family.“

“Wow! Had an awesome plate of Chicken Riggies! And the staff are all amazing! Well done Team Capone! 🖤“

“We recently celebrated our anniversary at Pane Vino. They provided us a very quaint seat overlooking the river. They have done a nice job masking the noise level of their beautiful interior that is full of character. We interacted with 4 staff that were all very personable, professional, and efficient. The food was all exceptional and the wine list very nice. We were impressed that the owner checked on us several times, he definitely cares and pays attention to detail. We plan to return here on our next visit to the area.“

“I don’t know what her problem is. Got our food and asked if we could have breadsticks and she answers “I’m waiting for them to get out of the oven” in the RUDEST possible way. Pretty sure her name is Jade B.“

“Food and service were a 10 out of 10!“

“We did an honor flight event that sends veterans to to washing DC to see monuments made in their honor. Mozzeroni’s was so generous. They donated pizzas for our event and fed our riders. We are so grateful for their generosity. What great neighbors. The pizza is always fantastic. Thanks again They will always have our business“

“My and my husband ordered from here tonight and we got a sub and I just got a chicken strips dinner and it was AMAZING!!!! We love it better then most places around us this place is now our favorite so far that’s around us. Highly recommend them!“

“Their pizza is amazing!! Perfect crust and not greasy at all!!!“

“Margherita Pizza was good. Coffee was great. Ricotta appetizer was great. Service (Connor) was excellent. We were certainly tended to! Atmosphere is roomy but cozy and not loud at all.

Update, we ate here tonight (a few years after that previous trip) and it was even better. Laura was our waitress and she's a treat! Delmonico steak special was fantastic, with cheesy bacon mashed potatoes. Steak was fatty but it was great fat. Pics to come!“

“My family of 7 celebrated my daughter's birthday here on Friday, March 4.... a large variety of food choices were ordered by us and everyone was very pleased.Our server was great and very patient; even considering that it was Friday! The staff were happy to help us with the birthday cake and a song, too.? The menu is quite diverse and we all look forward to going back to sample some fish or veal.“

“Food was great. We enjoyed the very relaxing atmosphere without any televisions blaring in the background“

“Really good classic Pizza Hut pizza. Definitely one of the PH’s that remembers how to make their signature pizza. I’ve been to other PH over the last few years that seemed to forget the marvel that they were back in the 80-90’s. Glad to find a good local Pizza Hut again.“

“Rubino’s in Webster steak subs was so fresh and delicious with every bite they can have all my money“

“Everyone has a favorite place to get delicious pizza. I encourage anyone who might be interested in trying a “prize-worthy pizza” to visit Pontillo’s in Bushnell’s Basin.
I gave 5 stars for “Atmosphere”(it is a pick-up only pizza shop)…because the busy crew behind the counter making your delicious order is friendly, entertaining and interesting to watch!
Don’t forget to order boneless wings as well.“

“The cauliflower crust pizza is not as good as it used to be, but everything else is delicious. I'm assuming they switched which cauliflower crust they use. Salvatores was my go-to anytime I ordered pizza and wings for my family, but we kind of prefer Mark's at this point, sinxe the cauliflower crust changed. I do appreciate that they cater to people with gluten allergies, it just isn't as good as it originally was.“

“The best in this part of town for sure. It is in the historic old building on Monroe Avenue but it is huge with lots of wonderful servers there. Really diverse menu, love the salad selections. Huge bar with lots of fun people...I try to go weekly“
