    This was my 2nd time eating at Rocky's - an old time Rochester Italian restaurant. It is like…read morestepping back into the 60s or 70s! They take only cash- and when my companion asked for a receipt- he was told that they don't have receipts- just hand written checks. Who cares- the food is great- we both had the lunch portion of Chicken Parm- nice and and thin and crispy- with a side of penne and doused in that famous Rocky's sauce/ gravy. The restaurant is broken up into 3 rooms- with a tight squeeze doorway between them - watch out for servers with a load of dishes ! If you like the old school Rochester Italian food experience (including tripe which I have never had!) - go to Rocky's. Nothing fancy or pretentious- just authentic Italian fo

They only serve certain meals on certain days so you have to look up their menu online before you go. The disappointing part is I always work the same days so I never get to eat certain things. The place is small and cozy and they run out of popular dishes fast so if you want to make sure you get what you want, and a seat, I would get there around the time they open. Their prices are beyond reasonable and the food is even better! Rocky's is a staple in Rochester and we love coming here.

    Cannot recommend this little spot any more. Was in town for work and looking for a veggie-friendly…read morelunch. Wow! Was so impressed! There are a ton of amazing vegetarian options on the menu and, since I was from out of town, I was the obnoxious person and proceeded to bug my amazing bartender, Nikki, for her recommendations. I ordered the carrots and parsnips and then also the roasted zucchini from the light fare section of the menu. They were both incredible and wildly different, which you don't often find in vegetarian selections. I wish I would have taken the time to take photos to post, but I gobbled everything up way too quickly before I could even think of taking out my phone. All this being said, this is not a vegetarian restaurant. Back in the days when I ate meat, I would have made different choices and I am 100% sure that I would be equally impressed.. Back to Nikki: my service was incredible. Really knowledgeable and so personable and friendly. I didn't actually want to leave. I was having such a low-key nice time away from my hotel. Ambiance (because one has to check off all the keywords) is great. La Bola takes up the first half of a really cool food hall in Rochester. It's modern and chic with great lighting and a windowed front. But, to wrap it up, as someone who travels way too much, I couldn't recommend this place anymore. Everything about my experience here was just wonderful.

    I had high expectations for this place based on the reviews, but boy I was disappointed with the…read morefood! The ambience was more like an open food hall meets bar venue but somehow it didn't click with me. We were the only other occupied table for a weekday dinner. Service was prompt but that's probably the only good thing. I got a mocktail which was watery and patatas bravas for appetizer. It was good but a bit saltier for my palate. I got the duck confit which was deplorable. The duck leg was scaly and dry and the sauce and the cauliflower didn't make up for it. My friend got the house burger and she said she liked it. I'm glad we didn't order dessert, it may have been another disappointment. Overall, a meh experience.

    I consider all the shops along this little stretch to be part of the Rochester Public Market. I'm…read morenot sure if that's accurate, but they are part of my experience with the market, and I love them all. Giordano is one of the best of the bunch, as they have all the cheese you'd ever want...and I want a lot of cheese. I want the funky bleu, the creamy brie, the sharpest cheddar you can find, the chevre, whatever you can find from a sheep, certainly including manchego, and all the olives they have in stock too. I want the cheeses with fun additions like truffles and pepper and meat and I also want the meat that hasn't been added to the cheese, because meat is good on its own too. All that said, the last time I came in I felt like I was bothering the staff there. I got curt, annoyed answers when I was curious about a cheese I wasn't familiar with, and we ended up leaving with about 25% of the amount of cheese I wanted to buy just because it's not fun to put together a cheese plate with people who aren't trying to help you. I hope it was an off day, because I'll be back again soon. After all, I have a cheese problem.

    We used to frequent this place at the Rochester Public market when we lived here years ago so when…read moreon a recent visit we stopped in. Though it was almost empty on a Thursday morning it was difficult to get to the cheese display because the only two patrons were pretty much sitting in the aisle gabbing with one of the workers. We had to squeeze around them since they weren't moving. Once at the cheese counter the smallish selection of cheeses were unmarked so we needed to quiz the burly guy manning the counter. He was gruff and almost rude in his attitude. Almost unhelpful. It is lucky we bought anything at all. If you wanted your purchase wrapped in cheese paper vs. plastic they charged another $1.75. Really? Definitely not the positive experiences we remembered from the past. Very Disappointing!
