First time with another couple who had been before. I had read many of the reviews here and Trip Advisor which also included old location vs new location. Six o'clock reservation on a saturday walked right in and got seated. It is a bit cavernous (older brick building which used to be home to American Can Co). Was not cramped with well spaced tables and not overly loud, did not notice any music playing and was not crowded with a few open tables. Menus were printed on the paper table placings (front/back) which probably came about because of Covid and a great idea. Found serving sizes ample and food well cooked and seasoned. Hugh plate of egg plant parm, two rib bone in pork chop cooked to perfection, beef short rib, "The Bear" (off the bone, they also had a short rib special on the bone this night), 4th entree was a pasta dish (gnocchi?). Did not have drinks other than water and a couple of beers so can not review wines or mixed drinks. Only reason for 4 stars is the parking is horrible on location so save yourself the time and park right across the street at the municiipal free parking. read more

Our experience at Compane is always positive. We have gone for the new happy hour, dinner, and for special events like Santacon and other crawls at the cannery. Their food is always very flavorful and their cocktails are made with care. It's definitely a staple in our rotation for sure! read more

Dinner with friends. We didn't have a reservation but got an outside table right away. Service was friendly and efficient. Even when I accidentally knocked down one of our drinks. We got a selection of appetizers and they were all good: Brussels sprouts, meatballs and calamari. I opted for the veal parm which was a generous serving with pasta. One of my companions opted for a pizza which looked delicious. I opted for the "nonna's mule" as my drink and it was refreshing. It's always nice to be surprised by good Italian food because I don't always want to cook it myself! read more

Compane Trattoria - Veal Parmigiano - Italian Near Me - Fairport, New York

What a great piece of the Fairport dining and entertainment area of The Cannery. My wife and I went here for the first time for our anniversary and couldn't have been happier. Beautiful ambience, a delightful server and absolutely delicious food. A unique and contemporary twist on traditional Italian. A must try in our opinion. read more

Calamari was soo good and crispy with banana peppers. We also really enjoyed the salmon and I liked how it was paired with corn and red peppers. Service was excellent and we chose to sit outside to enjoy the fresh air and watch the sun set. However, we didn't like the pasta as it was quite thick and undercooked. Chicken cutlet was ok but a bit on the drier side. The salad that came with it was good. Def would come back for the calamari and salmon. read more

Excellent meal! We love coming here. Parking can be tricky when there are events at other businesses so leave time to find a spot. The building is accessible for wheelchairs/walkers as are the 4 unisex bathrooms. There is a little dip in the floor when going from the dining spaces to the bathrooms, so have caution. The space is very open with high ceilings and a large bar that can get noisy and make it hard to have conversations, but also watch a little tv and unwind. The Hostess station is located just to the right inside the main door. We were early for our 6:45pm reservation on a Friday night and we were seated right away. I definitely recommend reservations. A lovely carafe of cucumber water was brought to the table right away. Noah came by shortly afterwards to take our drink order and explain the menu & specials. We each ordered a salad and a main dish. Hubby had a glass of Chianti, a Cesar salad, and the Veal Milanese. He loved it! Salt and pepper are not on the table but Noah brought hubby some on request. The wooden container swings open to reveal 3 cups, one each for salt, pepper and red pepper flakes with a little spoon to serve. Very cute! I ordered the house salad and the salmon. The salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing. The salmon was outstanding. They grill it to a medium center and I loved the crispy edges and grilled lemon on the side. I was surprised at the edamame & chickpea risotto - it was sooo delicious and simple. The cucumber yogurt pulled everything together and I think this dish is my new favorite. Noah was efficient friendly and checked on us often without being intrusive. Neither of us had room for dessert. All desserts except the cheesecake are housemade so maybe next time we will save some room (even though we skipped an appetizer thinking we were saving room today, sigh). We will be back! read more

We had a wonderful birthday celebration party here and the service by Kristen was outstanding. Food never disappoints - love the meatballs, pizza and bolognese pasta as always. Busy night but ambiance is special. Thanks to everyone there who made it a great memory including taking photos! read more

I have been to compane many times and the experience has always been great. I've been for drinks and apps as well as dinner and they always do a wonderful job. We went last night for dinner and the drinks were tasty, our fried calamari appetizer was delicious, and all of our entrees were excellent. I got the prime rib and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the potato croquettes were so good. Our server was so friendly and accommodating and we really enjoyed him. Lastly, we got dessert and the brownie bread pudding and peanut butter cheesecake were delightful. One thing I don't love is the deposit to hold a reservation but I understand it prevents people from ditching reservations without calling. The charge is still pending on my credit card and they said it would be removed when you arrive, so I hope that is the case. Overall, great experience, will continue to come back. read more

We love walking into Compane and hearing Rachel or Kevin greet us the moment we step in. Dining at the bar always feels like being part of a warm, welcoming family. These two amazing mixologists anticipate every need with genuine care. Rachel and Kevin make us feel right at home, serving up delicious drinks and flavorful food with their lovely smiles and truly outstanding hospitality. It's the perfect blend of great food, inviting ambience, and exceptional service. read more

We had the nicest evening at this restaurant. It's a hidden gem. Kristen out waitress was so helpful, funny, and great at her job. I had the scallops,incredible, my companion had veal parmesan, he loved it. The decor is so warm and inviting. We will be back! read more

Great service, nice location. - nice bar area - great ambiance for hanging out or date night. - outdoor seating is ideal for when all the festivals are in town I really enjoyed all the dishes. It's a little pricey but they give generous portions. I felt the primi and secondi plates could be split between two people. - blue crab on toast was really good. Not fishy and very flavorful - the fried calamari was spot on perfection. I'd come back just for that again and again. - the gnocchi and pasta dishes were fantastic. You can tell it's all freshly made. read more

The place itself is very nice and the owner is SO nice. Loved sitting outside, the owner was so friendly and checked in with us a couple times making sure everything was good! The food was good but nothing to write home about. I was not very impressed with the arancini which was so disappointing, I wish it came with red sauce instead. Vodka sauce pasta had a LOT of pancetta, it overwhelmed the whole dish. Also my friends ordered the chicken French and they were very surprised that it only had one chicken breast instead of 2 so they were disappointed with that one. read more

We went to this place at their old location a couple years ago. I probably would have given it a 2 or 3 star. We had the pizza, and were not big fans of the crust. This was our first trip to the new location. We decided to try the pasta this time. The pasta was amazing. If I were to go back, I would definitely stick to pasta, although I am tempted to see if the quality of the pizza has changed. We went on a Tuesday night around 6:30 without reservations and they were able to seat us right away. From the bread (salty bread!!!) to the appetizer to the entrees it all exceeded our expectations, especially after our first visit. Staff was friendly. Which helped with the experience. It's close to two breweries and iron smoke distillery. So the location is very convenient for a night out. read more

My group and I have been here several times and were always happy with our food and service. I don't know what happened. Bread was pale, lifeless, no taste. Chicken parm was too thick, extremely tough, very overcooked, and dry. Pasta Bolognese was bland and dry, Brussels sprouts salad, which we always loved, was soggy and tasteless. Even the Bananas Foster was a huge disappointment. I have rarely left a dessert uneaten...this was a first. Overall, only 1 in 5 at our party had a decent meal (salmon). We all left disappointed, and will not be going back. Pros: fantastic waiter (Noah) Cons: nearly everything read more

We order compane trattoria as a food option at preservation brewing. We have been there for dinner before and thought there pizzas would be great. The pizza came hot and had good flavor. The issues we had was for the price there was too much crust and not enough toppings. For the price, we were surprised to see they were a little light on topping and we had so much crust. I think next time, we will not get them to go. read more

Pretty good food! Delicious arancini, and perfect table oil and vinegar. Mezzaluna had wonderfully strong lemon flavor, although water-logged. Wouldn't recommend for a date or more relaxing atmosphere. Ambiance wasn't great, brightly lit, and loud dated (but not retro-fun) music, and outdated decor. Service was certainly kind but not very attentive and not always professional. There's a fee for use of credit card, which is clearly stated on the menu to avoid any surprise. read more

We had a reservation & were seated promptly when we got there. Service was slow but they were friendly. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was to die for. I had the veal parmigiana & my husband the chicken. Portions were large but it was like warm. I was very disappointed by the apple crisp. It is cooked in the cast iron skillet in their pizza oven but there oats were chewy & uncooked. The flavor was strange & the best part was the homemade whipped cream. It is loud inside. We will go back but not on the top of my list read more

Most everything was good, except this place charges $2.00 extra for the larger ice cube in drinks on the rocks! YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME!!!! The waitress never informed us on either round of the up charge. It is bad enough that they slap a 3% service charge for using credit cards, now charging for ICE! read more

We had another great time at Compane for a date night. We ordered gluten free pasta and pizza, both were great! Our server Kristen knew the menu well and was helpful in finding gluten-free dishes. Excited to go back again! read more

We tried Compane for the first time and it did not disappoint! The customer service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We ordered two glasses of wine and the meatballs to start. We devoured the meatballs; they were tender and juicy and so flavorful. I ordered the bolognese and my boyfriend ordered the vodka pasta. For dessert, we shared the brownie and OH MY GOD it was unbelievably chocolately. It comes in a cast iron pan and it fresh out of the oven. It was so freaking delicious. Our only issue is that we couldn't finish it! We were so stuffed from our app and entrees that we left some of it behind. Atmosphere: vivacious - some live music going; outdoor seating which would be perfect in the summer Price: 4/5 Tastiness: 5/5 Service: 5/5 (we had Noah as our server, he was so funny and genuine) read more

Hands down best burger I have had in my life. Sat outside and the vibe was great. Service was good. Will be back again.

Went in solo...big mistake. Waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged by the bartender, Rachel. Then had to flag down to try to ask questions about pizzas. Felt completely disregarded and not part of the process. Finally ordered...then had to wait 10 minutes to get a glass of wine.. I'm sad...we have Joe gatts and porterhouse where they are on their game with customer service..... Thank goodness! Walked out! read more

Amazing food amazing service 5/5 definitely going again. I got 2 pizzas and the vodka pasta and it was mouth watering.

It's Friday! Great night to relax & unwind & enjoy a fun dining experience. I made a 6 pm online reservation. On our arrival at 6 pm on a Friday evening, many booths/tables were vacant. The hostess seated us at an awkward table for two, with a booth bench & a regular chair, main traffic area. As the table was too low & very uncomfortable when sitting on the booth bench, I requested a different table. The hostess shared this was the only table for us. The a la carte menu was very limited. I enjoyed the house salad. My husband did not enjoy his Caesar salad - it was missing something for the tastebuds. I did not enjoy the very dry eggplant milanese. The 3 eggplant slices were not main entree size but rather appetizer size. My husband did not enjoy the pasta bolognese. The pasta did not taste homemade. If it was homemade, it was not fresh. The server was pleasant & provided average service. Before leaving, several tables continued to remain vacant. We shared our disappointment with our server and the owner's father when asked how everything was, after our dining experience. At that time, we were offered a complimentary dessert, to bring us something else to eat, and they apologized for this unfortunate dining experience. We gracefully declined the complimentary dessert or additional food. As we very much enjoyed dining at the original Compane, we arrived excited for a new dining experience at their new location. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet the positive dining experiences of the old location. read more

My favorite restaurant! So delicious and the staff is so friendly! Can't go wrong with any pizza or house made pasta! Also, don't forget the chicken wings, my favorite! Can't recommend enough! read more

Compane Trattoria - Bar area! - Italian Near Me - Fairport, New York

We went for a small family outing yesterday at 5pm opening time and had great service and food. As other reviewers mention, don't turn on Parce Ave but go 2 driveways south to the large parking lot serving multiple businesses. It fills up fast on weekends. Lots of craft cocktails and beers got us off to a great start. Our 6 adults shared 3 apps: stuffed bread, calamari, and meatballs. All were generous and tasty. For mains we had bolognaise, gnocchi, grouper and more and I heard nothing but compliments. Service was not rushed and we finished a great meal in just under the two hour table window including desert. We had a well-napped and behaved 3 year old with us and staff was particularly accommodating with plenty of bread and butter, spaghetti with a butter sauce, and ice cream. Nicely welcomed c read more

I decided to check out Compané and I ordered bolognese with what I thought was Chicken, beef and pork, but I only saw two chunks of beef. When the lady came out and handed me the bag and it felt like a feather I knew I was going to be upset. You can not charge almost $30 for basically a weight watcher meal. If you are going to charge these prices "Fill it up" and put a piece of bread in there. I definitely won't be back and it's a shame because the food tasted good, but it was so little. And let's talk about the dessert menu $12-15 for a piece of cake? Since when? As soon as I felt my dinner I put the dessert menu right down. Do better than that people. read more

Great food and service! Order was taken care of when there was a miscommunication about menu item. Only problem was loudness that at times was deafening read more

What can I say? I was hesitant, at first. I had looked at the menu beforehand and nothing jumped out at me. I'm picky and don't like much outside of my burgers!! Well, there were 6 of us that night. By the time we said our hello's, had our first glass of wine, it was time to order. I picked the chicken parm, others were more adventurous. OMG, this was the best I've had in a very long time. The rest of us were also quite happy! This place isn't cheap, but we all thought it was worth it! As they say, serve great food and they will come. SO GO! (A little tip - if you're wine drinkers, buy a bottle - if they'll do that. A little expensive by the glass!) read more

Bit on expensive side but everything was very good for our party of 3. I would wish for more complete meal, the salad was extra, large, and would have rather a small salad that was included with the meal. read more

Not a bad place to stop for lunch or dinner. Think a slightly more upscale Ferrari's Pizza. This place serves typical Italian menu items - pizza, pasta, arancini, chicken parmesan, etc. They spice it up a bit with food items like duck confit and lobster. The service was great, very attentive and helpful. We ended up seated at their smallest table - a consequence of how busy they were. A few of the staff helped us level out table to make it more comfortable. Wine options were satisfactory - nothing special but enjoyable enough. The atmosphere was a bit cramped and loud, being such an open space filled to the brim as it was. We had their clam casino dip, spinach gemelli with duck confit, and lobster mezzalune. The clam casino dip was delicious! How has no one else thought of that?? I would recommend a visit just for that. The entrees could have benefited from a little more flavor. There wasn't a lot of sauce or spices in either it seemed. Perfectly enjoyable, just not what we anticipated with such high end ingredients. Overall, a worthwhile stop. But it seems the restaurant is still trying to figure out how to brand itself. The website makes it feel more upscale than it is, which led to some disappointment because it didn't live up to that expectation, but some brand clarity would fix that. read more

Everything is homemade. The bread on the table, the pastas, pizzas, sauces, spreads and dips. The beer selection features many local brews on draft. The menu selection has something for everyone, and our dishes were attractive and delicious. The room is large and spacious, and if it gets loud there are rooms in the back that are quiet. The owner is on premises and his son is the chef in the kitchen. Everything is just a treat. read more

Read the reviews before eating here last Friday. Sounded good. People raved about the Arincini. Ordered them, no thank you; what happened to the crispy outer layer? Bland inner portion. Bread bought to the table, was underwhelming. We ordered 2 main pasta dishes. Both pastas needed at least 3 minutes to reach el denté. Waitress was sweet, but what happened to my salad with the dressing on the side? What was happening in the kitchen that evening? I try to not complain at restaurants; it puts a damper on the evening. Though after reading my own review, I see how disappointing our meal was. Not going back. read more
