He and some teammates discovered this place and go there for lunch literally every day they have home games. This place is the best-family owned and operated, great food great prices, great service!

“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.“

“We were recently in the Olive Garden in Victor NY and had a wonderful experience! Our server Mofosa was absolutely fantastic- we had a full table of 9 (4 being kids)! He interacted with the youngest being 4! The food was delicious and just an all around great experience!!“

“Fabulous food. I've been eating my way around the menu and delighted with every dish. My only complaint is the older woman bartender who won't give you eye contact. Wait up to 20 min.“

“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.“

“We tried the Thai food this time and it was AWESOME!!! It’s our new favorite Thai restaurant in Rochester! Please give them a try…and if you don’t like Thai food, you have their traditional, tried & true Italian dishes!“

“Not much to rave or rant about, finally had a few hours alone with the wife so he grabbed some lunch at Olive garden kept it simple soup salad bread sticks service was great waitress was awesome We were set immediately food came out quick soup was pretty fresh salad not so much breadsticks was good so the only problem was the salad wasn't that good didn't seem fresh did everything else was great no complaints.“

“Plenty of parking. Nice fire pit outdoors. Only Monerade noise so I wasn’t too bad. Nice to car. Surface was excellent and very prompt. They did screw up on my allergies as they specifically said I’m very allergic to a certain seed and when we order the octopus, it was covered in these seeds. Chefs were not paying attention. They made us a new one. No comp was given. The food overall was very good. Octopus was tender. The ricotta appetizer was good, but not nearly as good as Rocco on Monro Avenue near the city. They still have the best homemade ricotta downtown in town. I ordered the dock which was tender, and my wife had a short ribs which she loved. She also got the vegetable salad dish, which was very good and grilled perfectly. Drinks were on point. A lot of older people. It was disappointing that they put pecorino cheese on their linguine and clams as you’re never supposed to mix cheese with seafood with Italian food anyway. That’s not authentic. If it wasn’t for the cheese, the dish would’ve been perfect. They did a good job overall. I would still recommend it.“

“Awesome awesome awesome food. Loved the meatball and cheese garlic bread appetizers. Lot of flavor and lot of cheese! Also had chicken parm sandwich and meatball sandwich. Bread was great, not a tough or super thick ciabatta. Also placed a to go order and had no wait upon arrival. Very much looking forward to returning!“

“Went for my birthday dinner with my family, none of us had been there before, and it was an overall great experience, both the service and the food. I wish I had gotten the waitress’s name, because she did an excellent job and definitely deserves the kudos“

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

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

“From a service standpoint - IMO they were exceptional. We had a family dinner after a memorial service in a private room - and they opened an hour early to better accommodate our schedule. If you have requests, I'd say ask them! They are there to serve us within reason! Food was good all the way around. I got the scallop dish - they were cooked perfectly, not a hint of 'rubberiness' - but for my taste they needed about half the salt that was used. The fingerling potatoes were excellently done too. One of my cousins got the same dish - the first couple scallops she ate were good, then she got a saltier one.
We also had a dedicated bartender - which was nice. My better half had a couple of the same drink - and while they were good - there seemed to be some I inconsistencies in the mixes.“

“Excellent subs“

“Great thin crust pizza, highly recommend! Can’t wait to try other menu items!“

“whether it's a huge lunch slice or an entire pizza, they are my favorite by far. Family owned and operated, clean, consistent and always fresh!“

“8.2 on the Portnoy scale.“

“This is my staple place to grab a couple slices for lunch where they give you a good amount of toppings and the flavor is on point. I usually get the War Eagle which means 1 slice of pepperoni & banana peppers plus 1 slice of buffalo chicken for those in the know. This location can get very busy and there's really only outdoor seating, but the workers are always very efficient and get your order knocked out quickly.“

“On 7/11/25, 5th grade students from the Encompass Program ventured to Fairport , NY to learn about owning a business. Sarah Santiago met with us and spoke to our students/answered questions about the ins and outs of Salvatore’s Fairport. Salvatore’s donated delicious pizzas for our lunch. It was a wonderful day of learning and eating for our future entrepreneurs.“

“The Delmonico was cooked perfect. I don’t like seared steak so I asked the waitress Erin if I could get it charbroiled and she said I could. Erin was very invested in my meal. I always ask for a fatty cap of ribeye and she wrote it just the way I asked for it charbroiled medium rare fatty cap. And it came to me just the way I asked for it. It was delicious. I asked Erin for oil and vinegar and cheese for my bread she brought it all out. Erin stopped by several times for refills on drink and more cheese and bread. She did an awesome job. Give her a raise and if you get lucky enough to have her as your waitress leave her a review because she deserves it. great job Erin and also thank you to the Chef for cooking it perfect. Restaurant was clean and food was awesome!“

“Staff was quick and nice. Definitely a 95% takeout only as not really set up for dine in customers. But besides that I got buffalo pizza came out on time and not exactly my kind of pizza ,crust was thick and good a crunch. No flop,and sauce has a good flavor. Plenty of yummy cheese. Over all good flavor and enjoyed the pizza. Totally have it again“

“We went on 8/14/25. I tried the Abruzzi. Roasted pork, sharp provolone, broccoli rabe. But I had them throw on the roasted red peppers, which normally come on the Nellie. This is usually served as a cold sub but I asked them if they would toast the entire thing. I couldn't wait to get home. When I unwrapped that bad boy, the 1st thing I noticed when I bit into it, was the warm, toasty crunch of that bread. Then I got the porky goodness of the meat. Followed by the ever so slightly garlicky flavor of the broccoli rabe. And then the sweetness of those roasted peppers. I read some negative reviews right before we came here. Almost didn't come here because of them. All I can say guys, is I am so glad we decided to try Primo Hoagies for ourselves. Oh yeah, my partner got the Italian Diablo. He loved it, as well. I couldn't decide when I first walked in. I figured I'd get something different next time I come. But I am pretty much in love with that Abruzzi!! 💟“
