🇺🇸 Rochester Italian Gem | Tony D‘s 🍝✨

📍 Address: 1290 University Ave, Rochester, NY 14607 Unexpectedly delicious Italian spot with a 4.4⭐ Google rating – definitely worth trying! Here’s my take: 1️⃣ Surprisingly Good & Huge Portions The lamb risotto in front of me didn’t look Instagram-perfect, but it tasted amazing! 👌 Portions are VERY generous – two girls could easily share one main or just order appetizers (which are also huge!). 2️⃣ Appetizer Alert The calamari is massive – enough for four people! 🦑 The batter is a bit thick, and the accompanying pickled peppers were overly tangy for my taste. 3️⃣ Star Dishes Seafood pasta 🦐🍝 – fresh, flavorful, highly recommend! Pork chop with mashed potatoes 🥔 – rich and creamy, so satisfying! Duck entree 🦆 – also well-cooked and tasty. Almost no disappointments across the menu! 4️⃣ Vibe & Ambiance Modern American-Italian style with moody lighting 🕯️– cozier than my photos show! Features an impressive wine wall 🍷. Went on a Tuesday – lively and noisy, perfect for big gatherings or family meals (be prepared to talk loudly! 😆). 5️⃣ Price & Service Around $65 per person including tax and tip (most of us didn’t order alcohol). Service was friendly and attentive! 💯 Great for groups, celebrations, or when you’re craving hearty Italian food. Have you been?
