About Sagra Italia
Sagra Italia Reviews
The food was top notch! And customer service was wonderful!
Ordered the hearty Pasta Bolognese with the homemade Pappardelle, a Focaccia Margherita pizza slice and the Fried Burrata. -The generous portions were absolutely delightful, fresh and deliciously satisfying! A homerun for certain. I'm looking forward to going back sooner than later. Cheers!
Happy to have gotten to try Sagra early on! Order at the counter from a curated and quality menu- vegetarian, house-made pasta, meat, salad, pizza options. We ordered pizza, pastas, meatballs, and a cutlet sandwich. Everything was flavorful, quality, and carefully crafted. Clearly an experienced FOH / BOH team- none of the usual “new restaurant” shortcomings apply here! Lucky to have another St. Paul Quarter restaurant.

Sagra Italia is a cute, casual Italian restaurant considered a hidden gem in Rochester. The atmosphere is cozy with a great, relaxed vibe. Service is counter-based, with staff bringing meals to the table; the staff is consistently noted as friendly and knowledgeable. While seating can be a bit hectic and the greeting process sometimes confusing, waits are typically short.
The menu features fresh, homemade pasta and flavorful sauces. Dishes highlighted include the pappardelle bolognese, described as authentic and transporting, the handmade Marinara pasta, the creamy vodka pasta, and the expertly balanced funghi pasta. A shrimp pasta dish is also loved. The focaccia is repeatedly called the best, available to take away, and the pizza—including the focaccia pizza, margherita, and mushroom—is amazing, available by the slice. Other notable items are the fried burrata, praised as light and delicious, and an exceptional Caesar salad. The restaurant offers good options for vegan diners.
The drink selection includes an impressive amaro list, amazing cocktails, and Bellinis. While the menu is somewhat limited and items like tiramisu can run out, the overall experience is thoroughly enjoyable, making it a spot customers eagerly plan to revisit.
