It’s been around since 1949 and it’s the last of the Italian neighborhood restaurants in Rochesters old little Italy. Most of the inside is original. It’s not updated or modern but that’s part of its charm! I’ve been many times. Incredible food! I got Ravioli with meatballs. I thought it was great and my co worker, who had never been before said it was the best ravioli he had ever had. Wonderful service as well. Christine was an absolute sweetheart. She was attentive, fast, and was in general one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had, in any restaurant. Definitely recommend. It’s important that these sort of places stay open. Go support them! Way better Italian food than you’ll get at any chain.

Talk about a step back in time, Rocky's is a Rochester landmark. Located on Jay Street in the city of Rochester. They have the Itlay classic meals, and it was delicious 😋 I had bean's & greens and a side of tripe. It was made the way my grandfather and mom Prepared it, Perfect 👌 The waitress was very friendly and very informative of the specials. The food came out fast and hot. Thank you to all the employees who work to serve me a great time enjoying ourselves with family and friends. Gerry

My wife and I came up to see my mom and wanted to try an authentic Italian place and they nailed it! I had the meatball and sausage plate with rigatoni so good! Sausage is just spicy enough and the meatballs have a great flavor and aren't dried out and covered in sauce! The pasta though was the standout here made in house its definitely noticeable! Going to be telling everyone I know about this place but they don't need the praise they were packed but the food was coming fast!

Rocky’s is classic, old school Italian at its finest. The food is outstanding and portions are made for leftovers. Staff is friendly and efficient. We’ve been for lunch a half dozen times in the past ten years and it has been very consistent. I recommend getting there right when they open at 11am or you may have difficulty getting a table, especially for a large group. The menu changes every day of the week and we haven’t had a bad experience yet. Highly recommended!

Such a delicious Italian restaurant! Rocky’s is a must visit place in Rochester (and probably the best Italian restaurant in town). Everything here is homemade and the menu changes every day. We got the gnocchi with a meatball and the side salad, and it was so good! The sauce here is the out if this world! Our sever was so attentive, she really made us feel like regulars. Overall such a great restaurant and experience. We will definitely be back!

I no longer live in Rochester, but I grew up going to Rocky's with my Grandma and Grandpa. I recently had a chance to take my wife to NY for a school reunion, and you guys did not disappoint me. It has the same wonderful vibe and atmosphere, amazing food (Tripe being my favorite), and the prices have barely changed in decades! Thank you so much for the experience.
