“This place is one of my favorite pizza places I just love their pizza it's bomb .com ! The owners are super cool and friendly! keep striving I wanna see you guys doing big things because you deserve it create a pizza ! 5 star pizza in my book!“

“Our first time here and we will be back. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you for the delicious meal, hospitality and the lovely environment. 🤍“

“went to Bozza Pasta today for our 49th wedding anniversary and the food was amazing!“

“Delicious vegan food Can’t wait to go back“

“Food is always good. Always fresh and never an issue. Friendly staff as well.“

“The building looks odd. When you enter there is a small vitamin shop before the restaurant section. That being said, all of the food here was tasty. We tried everything on the menu. My favorites in particular were the stew, risotto and the plantains. You really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Even the hot Chai was super good. This place is totally worth visiting.“

“We had a cheesecake for a birthday and sampled some of their cupcakes. The cheesecake was extraordinarily good. I've never had cheesecake like that before.

The cupcakes were very good. We had to refrigerate them for a day and if one were to do that, I would recommend taking them out of the fridge and letting them sit for an hour or so before eating.

We will be back!“

“I love the burgers here, and my dining companion raves about the pizza! Today I tried their version of Nashville chicken.

Way too much bun for the chicken, which was tasty but not special in its flavor. Nice and crunchy but bland. No kick at all. Way too many pickles - no problem, just picked a few off and ate a few separately. I usually really like their rosemary garlic fries. Today they were hard, cool and very salty. Surprising because they'd just opened.

Overall the customer service vibe was off today. Our server was excellent, however the way we were received could improve. I had planned to meet someone at 11:30 am. That's when they open, and trust me, not a minute earlier. As a matter of fact, 2 minutes late, with staff making sure to not make eye contact as they prepared. There was no seating outside the main entrance, situated within a mall. It was about to start raining, so it didn't seem wise to sit outside. Tough on those who cannot stand for long periods of time. When the staff finally unlocked the door, they just turned the bolt and walked away. I would've expected them to physically open the door and welcome the small crowd that had gathered.

It's never a good idea to assume that business will always be robust. A little friendliness goes a long way.“

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!“

“Love their cheesecake.
I came here Saturday morning to get a cheesecake. After reviewing many places, I decided to try out Cheesy Eddie, and their cheesecake does not disappoint me. It’s creamy and not too sweet as other bakery (still a little bit sweet for me, but their sugar level is acceptable). The store is small and a bit hidden. Staffs are friendly. The only thing I wish is the 1lb type could be a bit cheaper. Or I think getting 2lb will be better value“

“Does anyone know the name or business name of the young man that sells seamoss gel and herbs?“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“Spectacular Sushi, beautifully crafted, served exceptionally.“

“Crispy Eggplant Parm Sandwich w/ House Chips and Chocolate Coconut Mousse were all delicious, and the service that I received from Ian was both welcoming and attentive. This was the first time that I’ve been out to eat in a while, when I didn’t have to worry so much about compromising flavor, in place of excessive dairy and meats. The Owl House is a winner- I’ll definitely be back! 🤤👍🏼“

“Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life it is so so soooooooo good it is almost orgasmic, just thinking about it I am drooling 🤤 a mist try if you are a cheesecake fan ! Also tried the banana bread it is really yummy and those ginger turmeric bar are also really yummy. The bread is different a little like a pumpernickel I really liked it ! Love this place it’s one of the hidden gems of ROC glad we tried it ❤️“

“Delicious cupcakes and frosted sugar cookies, all gluten free“

“I had my rehearsal dinner at Hose 22 in the Red Room. My sister handled most of the communication to book the event as I live out of town. She was able to tour the space and get photos and videos of it to share with me. The cost to host a small event of 25 people is reasonable. The food was delicious and there was plenty for all my guests and we did a consumption bar. The bartenders were kind and helpful throughout the night. My guests enjoyed the atmosphere and enjoyed the history of the old firehouse and the aspects of the firehouse that have been kept like the poles. One of my guests has a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating, everything we picked for our menu that was not already Gluten Free was able to be made that way for her. The plate of gluten free mac and cheese they brought out specifically for her was huge! Hose 22 is a great place to host a small event with delicious food!“

“I’ve loved everything I’ve tried here! Even if I’m doing a quick market trip, I grab a delicious coconut bar, breakfast blueberry and banana one or soup to bring and enjoy later because I know it’s going to taste great and be packed with flavor. You can really tell she puts so much love into the menu and food and I love this place.“

“Love this place and find myself there a few times per month. The food never disappoints! Outstanding flavor. Always fresh. Love that there is always something new to try (but then I also miss some of my favorites that don’t make it back on the menu). Highly recommended!“

“My picky vegetarian 9-year old loved Susan's battered tofu, Asian noodles and rice. Chef Susan catered a menu designed to her tastes- while offering variety to the rest of the family. My daughter even asked for seconds! There was plenty of food for all of us and the cost was extremely reasonable. We had a nice, healthy family dinner tonight.“

“Fantastic food as always!! Duck was cooked perfectly!“

“Java's is a Rochester gem. Friendly staff, lots of options on menu, warm inviting atmosphere. Big fan of this place.“

“Scratch has made quite a few different desserts for my family and they have gone above and beyond expectation every time. Just when you think their cakes are the best you’ve ever had, their cookies and fresh doughnuts enter the arena too. 🤣 I cannot stress enough about how great their treats and staff are. ❤️“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get Caked Bakery on Goodman is dangerously good. Everything looks like art and tastes even better. The vibe is sweet, the staff is friendly, and the desserts are the kind that make you close your eyes on the first bite. Rochester is lucky to have this place.“

“Got introduced to chefs catering food at this years #lilacfestival and cannot say enough good things about them. Their food was amazing (especially the plates and mac salad) 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a catering vendor.“

“Mama Napoli Foods is a family owned specialty producer of Authentic Arancini (stuffed rice balls). Mama Napoli Foods is the only place that offers gluten free arancini. They are primarily a wholesale operation but do have a small store front where you can purchase their products. They also offer catering for your events.“

“Great food, staff are friendly and we love Trivia Night! Feels like Cheers but in Penfield.“

“The food was great! Our kids are super picky and had never tried Indian food before. They were able to sample several new flavors and even liked a few!“

“My server Christine was absolutely amazing and attentive throughout my experience, I was impressed with her professionalism and good energy, so much so that it enraged me when I overheard the bartender, Mischa yelled across the bar at Christine to “pay attention to the door” where she looked away for a millisecond. As someone who has worked in restaurants for over 10 years I felt the tension in the employees interactions the moment I walked in and didn’t understand why until I heard Mischa being disrespectful to Christine. I took the time to ask him to come over and I expressed my concerns and he claimed he would apologize however I highly doubt that he will“

“Amazing food. Way better than Bella pasta“

“Absolutely one of best Italian restaurants ever frequented. Exceptional“

“Good service, Good food. Highly recommend go here.“

“The atmosphere was was great. Our waitress Bella( at the Rochester one) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly sling with our hostess and other table help. Was a great experience. The only thing I was disappointed in ( which wasn’t any of these peoples doing) was my porterhouse steak. For the money, it should have been a nice cut. It was an end cut, one that even some stores don’t use…let alone a very upscale restaurant. It was also supposed to be med rare n was med. I didn’t send it back because st least it was pink, but it was well past med rare. My crab cake was very good. The lobster and crab mac and cheese was also very good. I’d definitely recommend and go back. Just not sure if I’d get the porterhouse again. Probably go with just the filet.“

“Best coffee & healthy food“

“The service and atmosphere were outstanding. The menu is reasonably priced and the portions are great. They served our meals quickly without compromising quality. The chicken and steak hibachi meal with fried rice was fresh, hearty, and delicious. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and eager to offer an amazing dining experience. I will be returning soon to sample other items from their menu!“

“Everything was perfect BUT…….the hollandaise sauce could have used some lemon in the mix. May I suggest a lemon wedge to accompany the Eggs Benedict for optional lemon wedge distribution? Also, maybe substitute the cheddar biscuit as an under to the Eggs Benedict with Challah bread instead? I feel it would be less intrusive because the Challah French toast was off-the-chain-bells. Anyways, the service was grand and the vibe is absolute, either way:)“

“The sweets here are usually very good. They have a good variety to choose from. Their brewed coffee is never that great. They do have the biggest selection of flavor shots however so that sometimes covers the taste. The drinks besides normal coffee are typically good as well“

“Absolutely delicious breakfast - beautiful, fresh and so so tasty! Service was fantastic - will definitely return!!“

“I went here last night around 8pm just before the crowd rush. Ordered a simple vodka and Sprite with mozzerella cheese sticks, which were actually bigger than I thought and freshly hot, super delicious. Bar tenders was very nice and attentive, I appreciate their good customer service 👍🏾

Only thing about the atmosphere was the amount of pre-gamed drunk women being extra loud, to the point that nobody could have a conversation nor hear the music. Like, absolutely doing the most extra behavior. I had ear buds in and I still could here them yelling. Its not the bar's fault or anything, I just wish the bartenders had kicked them out cuz even they were getting frustrated but that's just me and I understand a paying customer is a paying customer lol

Otherwise, its a good local bar and I plan on coming back again. Gotta support local businesses and this place is worth going again.“

“I had a GF sub and it was the BEST sub I have had since being diagnosed with a gluten allergy!! I will definitely be back! Also my cheese puff was out of this world delicious 😋 Thanks for being so careful with my food🥲“

“Love sitting inside near giant glass windows... or outside in warm weather. Wonderful, lovely music. Quiet atmosphere. Food is very good & generous portions. Nice variety of coffees & teas. Also really enjoy looking at all the decor, based on Susan B. Anthony & other important women. Location is where she originally (illegally) voted ! Friendly, nice place > to meet or on your own.“

“10/10 recommend! We loved having Marty’s at our event. Awesome food and great service. 👏“

“Amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Steaks were awesome and perfectly cooked. One lobster tail was a little overcooked, the other one was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend and will be going back“

“We stopped at Blu Wolf Bistro on our way home from Niagra on the Lake to Boston for Happy Hour. Kyle our bartender was so welcoming & friendly! The espresso martini he made was awesome & the chicken wings/drumsticks (?) were meaty & delicious. Pizza also really good. And the hospitality was the best!!“

“Very good Mexican food, we hope to return in the summer when the outdoor seating is available, and the margaritas flow! Friendly and attentive service, good portion sizes. We had fish tacos, a vegetarian dish and beef fajitas, and had take-home from each plate.“

“We had a retirement party for.my sister 5/6/22.The service was top notch,the menu was bold and the kitchen put a nice spin on all they presented.THE OWNER STOPPED AND GREETED THE TABLE.WEwere able to bring in our special dessert's and they didn't push us out the door . Bravo from top to bottom.*****“

“I’m in a wheelchair, we requested a table setting and was very happy when an extension was added to the table. Never had that happen before.“

“Can't honestly rate food didn't eat but there were a lot of people ordering so something is good about it. Must try the smoothies. Most amazing n I love that,for all extra charge of course,that put a shot of collagen for ur skin love the concept hope it works lol.“

“My husband and I have lunch here every Wednesday. The food is always great and we love Natasha, our regular server. She’s so sweet and so accommodating. We love her!“

“My all time favorite Chinese restaurant on this planet. Now, if I could only learn what the ingredients are in the hot oil served with the scallion pancakes. I would love to make that hot oil at home.“
