Panzari's Italian Bistro

A very lovely experience at Panzaris getting some dinner by myself. I was greeted right away and seated comfortably. The menu all sounds delicious. I ordered the Arancini Rice Balls and the Chicken French. Both of these dishes were prepared wonderfully. The arancini has the perfect amount of sauce and flavor. The Chicken French was breaded perfectly, had the perfect amount of lemon to wine ratio, and the portion was large enough for me to take home for another meal. Overall, I am happy I decided to stop in and I will be back soon!

First time there! They were a little understaffed, but the staff that was there absolutely killed it! The chef in the back lastnight deserves a lot of praise the food was so so incredible, and he was very very busy. Portions are very generous, the restaurant itself has a diner vibe. We loved it, and we will definitely be back!

Cold night in Rochester...in from out of town. Looking for a chilled atmosphere, good people and good food. Found all three. It would not be fair to put a weight on things....I would just say if you are in town and you are looking for either of these things go and enjoy. But the food is great....enjoy!

Had dinner here for the first time. From the minute we called to see if there was outdoor seating, this place was the best. Kevin took our call and when we told him we were close by and hoped for an outside table he reserved one for me. When we arrived Kevin was the only server on because of several call ins. He handled it like a pro. The patio was full but he made us and all the diners feel like we were the most important people in the world. We were definitely all rooting for him. We had the pizza Bianca which was delicious and were treated with bread and “extra” sample size cocktails as a thank you for our patience. (It was a lovely night- no need for patience). Kevin made a connection with each table and took time. We never felt like he was just trying to get through it. Did I say the food was fabulous? Bread fresh and warm with garlic butter. Our pizza was great. We will be back for sure.

Live a couple hours away. In Rochester periodically. Been here a few times now. Surprised I can get in even on a Friday night without a reservation. Surprised, because each time I've been there, the food is terrific, service has been great, and even prices are good. It must be the location leaving this not to be a hotspot. I highly recommend Panzaris.

After all hard day installing a ceiling fan, I didn't want to cook. The restaurant we planned on going to had a 1 1/2 hour wait. We drove through the Corn Hill area and found this nice little Italian restaurant.The server was nice and very attentive. I ordered chicken french and George ordered chicken parmesan, which we split and shared. We both agreed on our assessment of each dish. The chicken parm was great. The marinara sauce was thick, meaty, and delicious. Neither of us were fond of the chicken french. The sauce was very watery and the chicken was swimming in it. The price was about what I expected for a "cloth tablecloth" restaurant.
