Medina Restaurants

My date was on a flight back from Paris and sat next to a lovely couple from Buffalo who suggested Giancarlo’s. And boy were they spot on!!! First of all, our waitress, Olivia, was delightful and very knowledgeable with the menu. She and the other staff were on top of all our needs. There were so many choices I can’t wait to go back and try more. The filet mignon was the best I have ever had!! My date had the oysters and was very impressed! Our cocktails were delicious as well!! We don’t know the name of that couple on the plane, but thank you for steering us towards Giancarlo’s! It was well worth it!!

The food was spectacular! The sauce was like homemade, and the portions were HUGE. I had the lasagna because of reviews I had seen and it did not disappoint. Impossible to eat all of it. My daughter got the gnocchi, and I sampled it - excellent. The chicken parm was enough for two (maybe three!) to eat. Highly recommended!

Our food was outstanding! We had the filet mignon with Yukon gold mash. It was cooked perfectly. The waitstaff did a wonderful job to make our 25th wedding anniversary perfect!!

This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience. The staff is incredibly welcoming, providing outstanding service, and the food is superb. It’s an ideal choice for a special occasion or an elegant dinner outing. The menu strikes a perfect balance, offering a thoughtfully curated selection without being overwhelming. Both the drinks and food were remarkable, with generous portions that satisfy. I highly recommend this establishment.

If you are looking for a high end dining experience, here is a great choice. A one hour drive from Rochester, Medina itself was had a classic, beautiful vintage Christmas feel as night fell. Our server, Steve, made the evening even more special. He was very personable, as well as a top notch waiter, maintaining the fine balance of waiting on us quickly, without appearing to hover. The pairing was superb. Wines and courses were matched in ways that made each that much more elevated. An additional extra, making the evening even more special, was lovely live music on a harp. Pricey, but an experience you don't often get in our area.
