I was craving a real Italian deli sandwich, not some coldcut behemoth from DiBella's that costs like $40, but a real actual sandwich.
I wanted roast pork (or a chicken cutlet, god what I would do for a proper cutlet and broccoli rabe up here) with broccoli rabe/greens and extra sharp provolone on it, and you know what? This is the only place I could find in the Rochester area that is actually making it.
It's slightly smaller that I had hoped, and they didn't overload it with greens like they do in Jersey, but it still tastes incredible.
It's a slice of home, and I'm glad I ordered a second one for tomorrow.

Best pizza in town! Not to mention great service and vibe. The chicken cutlets are divine. This is my favorite restaurant in Rochester.

It's so good! Definitely the best or one of the best Italian restaurants in Rochester. We went for lunch and arrived sharply at 11AM to make sure we got a table. For lunch you order at the counter and then they bring the food out when ready. Loved the drink selection. Nice cocktails with ashwagana, nice Italian seltzers, San Pellegrino - much better than just Coke, etc. We got the cacio e pepe, breakfast pizza special, and the eggplant sandwich. I was impressed with the vegetarian food selection available. The pizza crust is nice light, fluffy, but thin. The sandwich was excellent, I got added provolone cheese. The cacio e pepe was not my favorite. A bit watery, when I am accustomed to the sauce being creamy vs watery. The portions were all big, we had to take some home. The staff is friendly, the decor artistic, and the vibe chill, with good music playing. I will be back.

The food was some of the best Italian I've ever had. The pizza either the hot honey drizzle and pepperoni is out of this world. The risotto...the eggplant sandwich...the meatballs...all just amazing. But please get diet coke. I cant eat that much food and have a coke too!!! 😀😀😀

Not a huge place so make a reservation. Food was great. Excellent service. Limited menu on purpose-- they make what's fresh.

We were greeted with the friendliest and most welcoming smile from Chris. Our phenomenal waiter Eli made sure We knew all the specials and was so attentive. Alex also made sure our table was cleared and we were stocked on drinks at all times. The chicken cutlets and eggplant were DELICIOUS! The ingredients and the entire meal Absolutely mind blowing! 10 out of 10. Great atmosphere and must try!
One of our absolute favorites in Rochester! Family owned, freshest seasonal ingredients, incredible pizza and pasta homemade gelato and ricotta cookies just like your Italian grandma would make if you were lucky enough to have one!

One of the best Italian places in roc! Love it here for a quick cutlet for lunch or dinner. Definitely recommend a reservation and keep in mind it is extremely loud in there. Vibes are great with tables close together (kind of NYC style) but it’s very loud due to that.

This restaurant was so amazing and friendly. First of all the service was completely amazing, all the waiters and servers were so nice! It was so awesome to eat here because of how friendly everyone was. The food was so good and delicious and I definitely recommend the marinara and Cacio e Pepe Pasta, Eggplant dish and the mushroom Mafaldina pasta! Everything was homemade, and it was still delicious. The waiting time for us was super fast, we were told to wait a few minutes and the table was ready!

Great food. Good pizza and one of the best cutlets in town. However, they required a COVID vaccine pass during that massive sham.
