Best Casual Restaurants in Rochester

Great staff and excellent food! We always enjoy having dinner at Veneto!

This is just a top notch restaurant, the Oyster Rockefeller, was the best I ever have had, the Lobster and Steak for 2 was outstanding! I like my beef well and it was so tender, with flavor!!

Service was excellent, food was excellent. Had a great experience

Everything was great except hostess when checking in was extremely rude. Should not be working there. She upset us to point we almost walked out. Rest of experience was great.

I’m dairy free and the chef was able to accommodate everything I asked for (I gave the waitress backups that didn’t require modification if my requests couldn’t be met but none of the backups were needed). The chef made chicken Marsala without butter, sautéed the onions without butter (s/he made them sooo good), and provided an alternate dip for the calamari that didn’t have dairy. Other entrees we got were filet, Delmonico steak, and Alfredo. Oh and mozzarella fritta and shrimp cocktail for apps. If you’re looking for that old fashioned giant delicious shrimp, it’s here. So so good. Cocktail sauce definitely has some bite too. All were delicious and the reason we chose to come here again. The only cons were we didn’t get bread (we had so much food anyway we didn’t really need it so didn’t say anything) and there was a cold draft where we were seated but again decided it was fine since we could see they were clearly very busy that night.
