Vitale's Rochester Italian Restaurant

It is now Veneto Restaurant and it is awesome!!

Ordered on GrubHub and v it b was cancelled with no explanation. I recommend mamma g's instead. The food is excellent and they believe in good service

Dined Friday eve at 4:30, first ones there. The interior not great, the tattered couch when you enter looks like they picked up at goodwill, gross. The service was excellent, but we were the only ones there. The food was bad, all of it except the dessert. Started with mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto, it came hot and with red sauce, did we not read the menu correctly? It wasn't good, heating the prosciutto makes it tough, and it didn't taste all that good. The pizza came with a scissors to cut, didn't like that. The middle was soggy and made a mess, was just ok in taste. The spaghetti sauce on the chicken parm was SO BAD, too acidic almost had a lemon taste. The tortellini was doughy, undercooked, as was the onion in the dish that still crunched. The dessert was good chocolate mousse cake, we all liked that. We left about 6:30 and the place only had three tables occupied. The owner, chef was nice and kept checking on us. How do you tell the chef the food is bad? It was just uncomfortable. The place will be out of business soon I'm certain of it.

Food was very good. Enjoyed the white pizza and tortellini with pesto sauce. Bread was a little too crispy but very tasty. Service was very friendly and attentive.

Food was bland. Broccoli tasted like it was spoiled. I was as killing multiple produce flies while at our table. When I alerted the waitress about the many produce flies, she said when it gets cold out they come in, but go away eventually. The only thing that was decent was the bread. Wait staff seemed like they were irritated we where there and even slammed the bread down on the table. I should have known that we probably should have gone elsewhere when it was just us and another couple there on a Saturday night at 7:20 pm. Beware of the croutons, they were like trying to bite down on jaw breakers. I can't remember when I've had such a dismal dining experience. Needless to say we will not be returning.

Worst restaurant ever. Rude staff who talk about customers to other customers. Make excuses for why only half the table only gets salad. Owner when we complained said then don't pay. Terrible service and attitudes. Unfortunately for them you can't get very far with excuse after excuse. Waitrsss should be fired. Rolling her eyes and talking about customers out loud. Hope they close soon cause they have terrible Italian restaurant skills.

Only 2 servers were on hand for our party of 20 plus others at the restaurant. Ran out of wine and beer and only served salad to half of us & lost orders. Not a place I’ll be back at ever.

Like how the staff made excuses and fought with customers. Also the waitress talking to other customers about other customers priceless. Keep up the awful work!

Lots of excuses for poor service and limited food. 1/2 the table didn’t get their salads, plates weren’t cleared, bacon was raw on people’s appetizers, out of two wines and beer. Had to request water, bread and plates be cleared

I have been here 3 times each time food was great no complaints my problem was today being scolded by owner chef Tony saying I can't be buying local flavors to eat there it's not meant single single people I was at lost for words how do 6put that out and u dont expect people not to buy it well I never go back after that even though food was 5 stars I dont need to be belittled in front of customers like that cause I'm trying to save money if u dint want pe6to buy close ur place down...

We were trying to decide where to catch a bite and a beer on a recent week night. We ran down the list of our "go-to" restaurants in the area. Pizza? Mmm. Pub grub? Mmm. Tacos? Mmmm. Then simultaneously we said "Let's go see Jenny at Gordon Biersch!" She always remembers us, our preferences and makes us feel special. Thanks Jenny! You keep us coming back!

The food is awesome, great prices, Chef Vitale came to our table, this is an authentic Italian restaurant. A little rustic, casual, lunch and early bird menus.

Best pollo picatta I've ever had

Dinner was amazing. He had the tortellini and vodka sauce. I had chicken, sausage, mushroom and a sauce over spaghetti. I cant remember the name of the dish. Chef Tony check on us a couple of times. Also the server was great. Was a very relaxing atmosphere. Friendly, cozy. We will definitely be going back.

Very good food. Definitely going back again.
