Dirty martini and greens and beans with sausage. Greens and beans was bitter AF, asked for check when plate was full. No offer for a to go package and no concern that I had not eaten much. Moderately busy, not slammed by any means. Staff was spectacularly average, at best.

I went to branca at a time when it wasn’t even busy and every single thing I ordered took FOREVER to finally get to the table. Food was sub par as well and it’s extremely expensive

I used to come to this restaurant a lot, and after my experience today I unfortunately will not be back. The waiter was okay, but the wait for our food was ridiculous. They brought my meal out first, and then we proceeded to wait another 20-30 minutes for my husband's burger to come out. I waited to eat, since the purpose of going out to eat, is to dine together. By the time his meal arrived, my salmon was cold. We expressed our frustration and nothing was offered to correct this mistake. We spent $83 with a tip for this lunch experience. There were only three other tables in the restaurant with patrons, so a kitchen back up was not the issue. Food was average and very expensive, $20 Burger and $28 for my salad with salmon. It's hard to justify returning to spend money at an establishment that is ok with this experience for their patrons.

I recently had my wedding here at the new event space in the front of the restaurant. It was a beautiful night, the food was incredible and the customer service provided was outstanding. Fran helped plan out each detail of the night and could not have made it easier for us. If you are planning a special event I would highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you Branca, for our special night!

Good staple and local favorite. Italian-esque menu. Always solid. Their deconstructed Lasagna is my favorite, and their veal meatballs are superb - they are an app but I get them with their spaghetti squash. Alos have wood fired pizzas, and sometimes they have grilled octopus or interesting risottos. Happy hour, 4 to 6 weekdays, is a great value for both food and drink, but in the bar area only. It's always packed for Happy Hour, so arrive early, even on a Tuesday.
A little pricey, but a great spot for a somewhat upscale dinner

Bad food and super slow service. We waited an hour after being seated to received our food (and we didn’t even order apps). They gave us complimentary bread (which was awful) after 20mins of waiting. Our server was nice so I don’t blame her. The wood fired prosciutto pizza had barely any prosciutto or cheese. The dough isn’t great. The chicken Milanese didn’t not taste great. The breading fell apart and the chicken was not seasoned. Pork chop was cold. Not coming again, especially for their unreasonably high prices for such bad quality food. Only good thing is the ambiance.

Fantastic! We were pea inspired tonight and ordered the mahi special with peas and rigatoni with pea pesto. Literally light and perfect! It felt like we were outside Rochester and on vacation in a superior restaurant. 10/10
