Review Roncone's - Rochester

Michael Short

Though new ownership the atmosphere has lightened up and the food is out of this world. I had the chicken parmesan and it was nothing but excellent. The quantity was perfect and the sauce was excellent. I would highly recommend this place. The only reason for 4 stars is due to its location in the city not the best of neighborhoods. Even so I continue to go.

The place is amazing, the service outstanding, the chef sincerely has the best menu and most outstanding dishes I have EVER had, even the presentation is impressive... in fact, GOD rest her soul, he beats both my VERY Italian grandmothers at every dish!!!! Very pleasant atmosphere and ambiance... The person that reviewed the ravioli to be frozen and thrown together, has to be mistaken!!!!!! Jimmy makes his pastas homemade and his sauce is to die for... Especially Sunday sauce.... Not to mention his meatballs.... My mouth is watering just thinking about it!!!!!

I used to eat here when I was younger and when the original owner sold it, I stopped going. It has gone through a few owners now and the current owners have revamped the menu, and changed the restaurant. They are now offering fresh baked bread, and other items baked in house. The sauce is phenomenal. I had the veal parmesan, and it was large servings that didn't disappoint. I highly recommend.

Awesome Italian food! Veal is perfectly prepared! Owner is very personable! A lot of Rochester Police Officers eat at this location, which is usually indicative of great quality food in any city and more importantly for an area such as Lyell Ave. Plenty of seating inside.

Robert Lonie

Great Service! The food was tasty and plentiful. Angel treated me like I was the only one there, but not in a bored, hovering manner. The prices are great as well. Really a well run restaurant!

Don't get filled up on the fresh bread, dipping in the great artichoke sauce. Gnocchi's were like my mother-in-law made. Service was great. Get there early to beat the crowd.

Music Memories

I absolutely enjoyed dealing with the owner of Rocone's. We are a family owned music establishment in Greece. The gentleman stopped by American Music Centre to support local. Highly recommend checking out this restaurant. Great food selection at great prices!

Rusty Shackelford

Phenomenal, the best Italian in Rochester. Great service, excellent food, and cheap prices. This is what a restaurant should be. Try not to get stabbed on your way in and there's basically nowhere to park. Regardless, I love this place.

Anita Frail

Absolutely one of the best places to go for authentic Italian food. Service is great, the food is even better. Great specials at a reasonable price. Will continue to go there and enjoy taking people with me

Very good eggplant parm. My wife had seafood fora Diablo which was very good also, but spicier until the waitress brought mild sauce to tame it down. Favorite Italian, that also had great pizza that we sampled (white pizza with artichokes) As good as any pizza we’ve had in the states or Italy.

Mike Obrien

Fast and friendly service. Nicole was our waitress and she was awesome! Food was great too! Ziti with pork was enough for lunch the next day. I'll definitely be back.

Marissa Lagares

The best Italian food I've ever had in Rochester, hands down! I have never been disappointed and never left hungry!! Great portions at an unbeatable price.

Lincoln DeCoursey

Good Italian-American place with great service and reasonable prices. Has been around forever under various ownership. One of the last remnants of what used to be an Italian neighborhood a couple of generations ago. Limited hours lately but definitely worth supporting this place if you can.

Laurie Shea

The greens and beans with sausage is the best I have ever had. The Calamari was great, so was the Chicken Parmesan. I recommend this restaurant.

This was our first visit to Roncone's Italian Restaurant in Rochester, NY. Our hostess, Nancy, was a real sweetheart. She was honest & told us that they were short handed today & it would be a few minutes. Being retired with nothing else on today's schedule, I was fine with the very short wait. Our server, Vonda, was a very nice young lady with a beautiful smile. She took care of us & did a great job. The food from the bread, to the appetizers, to the salad, to the entrees were delicious. The tripe in their sauce was the best that I have ever had. Much better than Rocky's!! Fogeta Bout It!! The crowning touch for me however was when Dominic, the owners son, came out to thank every table for our business & for our paintence. A very nice gesture indeed. When we left we promised Nancy & Dominic that we would be back again on our next trip to Rochester. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. Much Love, Tony, Linda, & Aunt Jean too Rosarito Beach, Baja California Norte, Mexico

this is the place me, my father, and a man we were very close with named Kevin went for years. it was kind of “our” place. Kevin passed away April 13, 2018 from leukemia. my dad and i haven’t been back before today. it was very hard to step foot in there again after Kevin’s death but our server, Anthony made our stay so much better. we went in with heavy hearts but left with a smile on our faces. we’ve never had a bad experience but this trip was one i’ll never forget. Thank you Anthony for being so amazing to us. RIP Kevin Werner.
