"The food is top notch Italian fare. The red sauce is very balanced and perfectly thick. I would recommend eating in the bar area just because the antique bar itself is one of the most gorgeous that I have seen in Rochester. The aged and carved wood stands in stark contrast to the posted photo of the Pope juxtaposed next to the photo of Tony Soprano and his crew. The place is cool!"

"Simply put, the food is incredible. There wasn't a single thing that we ordered that wasn't delicious. Like other people said, it feels like an old-timey mafia movie inside. They have a small parking lot, but Rocky's is so popular that you may need to resort to street parking."

"Absolutely one of the best places for Italian food. The hours of operation are limited, but get there if you can!"

"I have been eating here since I was a baby. Joey is a family friend. He makes all his stuff from scratch and it's absolutely delicious! I highly recommend eating here. You're not a Rochester Italian if you haven't eaten here, plain and simple."

"Went here for lunch yesterday with some friends and the food as usual was excellent. We had the tomato salad and it was to die for. They only have it a month or two in the summer so it's a treat. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the meat balls were great. Reservations are a must if you don't want to wait."

"Homemade Chicken Soup is a must when you visit! Great pasta, tripe; Love the meatballs; Great bar selections; Great service. Very busy place so get there earlier to get a seat!"

"Great little place that no one knows about. Fresh greens and beans with stuffed rigatoni was awesome. Bring Paulie Walnuts with you and enjoy."

"Rocky's the best Italian restaurant that Rochester has to offer. It is the only place I go for tripe. The staff makes you feel like you are part of the family.The huge portions are such nice authentic touch.""
