“We are from out of town but visit ROC frequently because our son plays on the Jr. Amerks Juniors/NAHL team. He and some teammates discovered this place and go there for lunch literally every day they have home games. This place is the best-family owned and operated, great food great prices, great service! Tiramisu is my favorite thing in the world and Mamma G’s tiramisu is the best I have ever had. Carlo is the bomb!“

“This was one of the best chances I've taken on food in a long time. We stopped in to get something to eat for me as my wife is Gluten Free. I got The Big Mike and fell in love with this place. My only critique would be they need to get GF bread options so my wife can try them too!“

“We tried the Thai food this time and it was AWESOME!!! It’s our new favorite Thai restaurant in Rochester! Please give them a try…and if you don’t like Thai food, you have their traditional, tried & true Italian dishes!“

“The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, and menu items are creative, filling takes on comfort sandwiches and entrees. The cocktail menu is a romp through classics both reinvigorated and reimagined. The staff is attentive and efficient, and answers questions about ingredients and sourcing well. Definitely put Mendon 64 on your must-try list if you are in the Rochester area.“

“We recently celebrated our anniversary at Pane Vino. They provided us a very quaint seat overlooking the river. They have done a nice job masking the noise level of their beautiful interior that is full of character. We interacted with 4 staff that were all very personable, professional, and efficient. The food was all exceptional and the wine list very nice. We were impressed that the owner checked on us several times, he definitely cares and pays attention to detail. We plan to return here on our next visit to the area.“

“Not much to rave or rant about, finally had a few hours alone with the wife so he grabbed some lunch at Olive garden kept it simple soup salad bread sticks service was great waitress was awesome We were set immediately food came out quick soup was pretty fresh salad not so much breadsticks was good so the only problem was the salad wasn't that good didn't seem fresh did everything else was great no complaints.“

“Great food, we tried the cheesy garlic sticks, slices of cup n char, meatball sandwich, chicken parm sandwich, spaghetti with eggplant balls, and of course the homemade cookies. Everything was delicious, prepared fresh, all staff and the owner were extremely friendly. Great new spot! Can’t wait to come back and try the Utica greens and chicken rigggies!“

“I just found the best turkey sub on the face of the Earth“

“This is one of my most favorite Restaurants the food is delicious great owners and staff ❤❤ I almost always order their red clam sauce its Soooo Yummy“

“Ok so people don’t understand how to rate an establishment on Google… people, your rating needs to be based on where you are and relative to that environment: if you’re in a mall looking for fine dining… guess what? You’re not going to be happy (generally speaking). Likewise, if you’re in an airport and want cheap, high quality food… guess what? You’re going to be disappointed.

Gusto is not cheap, but it is high quality, handmade food, with what seem to be high quality ingredients. Furthermore, the staff and ambiance/seating/atmosphere of Gusto is a 10/10 (for an airport). They do a terrific job here. Had the chicken pesto panini (and three beers) and it was fabulous. Will eat here again.“

“From a service standpoint - IMO they were exceptional. We had a family dinner after a memorial service in a private room - and they opened an hour early to better accommodate our schedule. If you have requests, I'd say ask them! They are there to serve us within reason! Food was good all the way around. I got the scallop dish - they were cooked perfectly, not a hint of 'rubberiness' - but for my taste they needed about half the salt that was used. The fingerling potatoes were excellently done too. One of my cousins got the same dish - the first couple scallops she ate were good, then she got a saltier one.
We also had a dedicated bartender - which was nice. My better half had a couple of the same drink - and while they were good - there seemed to be some I inconsistencies in the mixes.“

“Love football Sundays at MicGinny's...Angie is the best bartender!! Love the place!!“

“I love the steak Bomber sandwich 🍔“

“Great thin crust pizza, highly recommend! Can’t wait to try other menu items!“

“Went for my birthday dinner with my family, none of us had been there before, and it was an overall great experience, both the service and the food. I wish I had gotten the waitress’s name, because she did an excellent job and definitely deserves the kudos“

“whether it's a huge lunch slice or an entire pizza, they are my favorite by far. Family owned and operated, clean, consistent and always fresh!“

“great food. my family and I enjoy the subs as well as the pizza!!!“

“I’ve lived near scottsville for my entire life, and we order from marks probably twice a month, and the manager always grabs my pizza as soon as he sees me enter the door, doesn’t even need my name. Tonight I pulled into my spot and was responding to a text someone had sent me before getting out to go inside, when suddenly he was at my window with my pizza. Talk about curbside delivery! Always great customer service. Even in the big evening rushes I know I’m always taken care of as a regular.“

“The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, and menu items are creative, filling takes on comfort sandwiches and entrees. The cocktail menu is a romp through classics both reinvigorated and reimagined. The staff is attentive and efficient, and answers questions about ingredients and sourcing well. Definitely put Mendon 64 on your must-try list if you are in the Rochester area.“

“OMG! Had no idea how great this place is. The food, ambience and service were excellent tonight. Highly recommend checking it out. Outstanding food!“

“We ordered our pizza using Google toast. Our pizza was done in 20 minutes and when we got it home, it was so freaking hot I had to wait to eat it. Pontillos has been our go to pizza for so long we forget how good it really is. Tonight's pizza was as good as it gets. Thanks guys.Google toast is an extension used for food ordering. It works better than some restaurants own sites. Flawless order and payment for tonight's dinner.

Parking: The store is in a small plaza with lots of parking.“

“Stopped into today for the first time as I was craving a chicken finger sub. The gentleman was super friendly and the sub is delicious!! I will most definitely be back :)“
