Awesome food and if you're interested in seeing how it's done, the owner offers cooking classes where he shows you how to make some of his specialties. The chicken french is "to die for", however my favorite is the Saltimbocca. They also have a pizza that gets very good reviews although we've never ordered takeout. Another family owned and run business - the owner is often in the back cooking while the wife is the hostess. Once seated, you are treated to an appetizer of one of the house specialties - zucchini marinara. It is wonderful! The oil they serve with the bread is top of the line - first cold pressed olive oil. If you don't know what that means - Whitey (the owner) offers a cooking class where he will explain such things.

This is incredible comfort food. I haven't tried anything at Proietti's that hasn't made me sigh, coo, and rub my belly with contentment. No matter what you order for dinner, it will be good. If you're overwhelmed with all of the choices and love cheese and pasta as much as I do (who the heck doesn't?!), try the chicken fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli and mushrooms. The seasoning on the chicken is perfect, the chicken stays nice and moist, the veggies are just the right texture and consistency, and the sauce is rich but not so heavy as to leave you feeling gluttonous at the end of the meal. Don't leave without trying the Pizza Frita (fried dough balls with sugar) for dessert. It's very tasty.

While it may look like you're entering a shady, take-out style restaurant, this is not the case. The food is fresh, authentic and simply delicious. I was able to modify my chicken scampi to include veggies - mushroom, artichoke hearts and broccoli. Now that I think about it, I didn't even look at the check to see if my modification incurred any additional charge...probably because it was so darn good, didn't care! I took the leftovers home and ate them that same night...I couldn't really help it. My fiancee was happy with his meal as well, Beef Tenderloin au Poivre. We live about 25 mins away from this restaurant but decided to go because we had a function to attend in Webster - got dinner to make the trip worthwhile. We will be back, way before we're back in the area for any other reason!

Heavy snowstorm and all I could think about some home cooked meal that could warm my stomach while not travelling too far for it (after having my car slid on the road and almost caused an accident). The first choice that came up was Proietti's. So much talk about it and I couldn't leave Rochester without paying this place a visit. I loved the location as it was close to my hotel and in a plaza that had ample spaces to park. While the exterior was not much to look at, it might as well have been a Chinese Fast Food place, the interior was a world apart. Moderately busy, the restaurant convey a sense of warmth and coziness and most importantly home. After getting our orders and serving the bread, our waitress came out with a plate of zucchini cooked in a marinara sauce...on the house. It must have been something special as I couldn't find it in the menu. Slightly sweet and savory, the zucchini was a perfect accompaniment to our bread. I had the stuffed sole with scallops and crab. It was a delicate dish served with two filets of sole stuffed with a mixture of crab meat and scallops resting on a bed of escarole and baked yellow beans topped with a generous amount of aromatic browned onions. I could tell that the chef did not need to put much flavoring into the dish and the ingredients themselves created a unique mix of flavoring that easily satisfied the palate. The seafood stuffing was more minced than I had expected however. I guess it was better to keep the dish together. The beans and the escarole were excellent additions. They had soaked in all the essence of the fish and seafood mix that might as well made them a main dish in their own rights. Proiette's was a good end to the business trip and food run that I had in Rochester.

I have been here twice now, both with free coupons. Free stuff is great! The first, traditional dinner. I chose the Veal Saltimbocca and it was good. The pasta was cooked well, the veal was good. I wasn't completely sold on the sauce. I love prosciutto and this helped the dish along. I found the combination of the salty meat, olives and pesto to be a little too salty. We also had the squash ravioli, which was again good... but seemed like it was a little off in the flavor or seasoning. Second time we had the pizza and this was much better. I would definitely order pizza from here again. The crust was thick, the toppings were fresh. Overall, its very regular Italian food. I don't think there was anything that makes me want to go there right now, but the pizza was good. Does that help?
(3)Ben S.
I used to travel to Webster a lot for work. One time a coworker and I were looking for an Italian restaurant we had perviously been to. I ended up finding Proietti's we thought it was the place we had been before...it wasn't but it was much better. Now every time I'm in the area I make sure to stop by to get my fill of good Italian food.
(4)Scott G.
Have gone to Prioetti's a couple times. They are one of the few non-chain places in the Webster area I would return to. They are reasonably priced and the service is friendly. Try the spicy sauce on the pizza! The wine list leaves a lot to be desired. I would recommend a reservation most any night to avoid a short wait.
(4)Michael B.
Absolutely. Tremendous. Authentic. Italian. I don't naturally trend to Italian fare on a regular basis but even my Irish/German taste buds told me that I was in possibly one of the finest Italian restaurants in all of Rochester. Why, oh why, did I not come here before? Don't be fooled by the look of the place on the outside or the fact that it's in a small plaza; when you walk through the doors you are pleasantly surprised by the dim lighting and varnished wood decor with wall mirrors. Seating is classic Italian: black lacquered wicker chairs and small tables that may seem too small for dining but lend a very nice intimacy to share with your party - Italians understand more than most that dining is about more than food, it's about conversation and companions. The ambience here is very good for kindling romance or for conducting business. Complimentary zucchini marinara as a fee appetizer is not only hospitable but very tasty - al dente and flavorful. Chicken Parmesan can be had all over town but Proietti's has it down to a science - light and crispy on the outside, flattened, evenly cooked and juicy on the inside with just enough Parmesan to add flavor but not overpower the seasonings. And the veal Saltimbocca? Wonderful! Prosciutto to add salty texture, Kalamata olives for tang and the veal melts on your tongue. The food was so good we actually split plates just to try the various dishes. I recommend the house Italian red for a pairing as it has a light fruity aftertaste. A merlot is a tad too strong for a meal. The service is top-shelf. Our waitress was young but very pleasant and knowledgeable. After our meal I had put my card on the edge of the table and she even had the presence of mind to swipe it off the table as she walked past without interrupting our conversation. The completed check was placed politely on the corner of the table for me and there was no rush to pay and leave even though it was prime dining on a Friday. My only regret is that I didn't take the time to enjoy an espresso after dinner but I was completely stuffed. If a content customer is the sign of success, Proietti's has a long future in front of it. They've not only earned my repeat business but my recommendation to anyone who will listen. Ben fatto!
(5)Carmen P.
The interior could seriously use some updating, but the food is wonderful. Everything is truly homemade, and while it's not cheap, it is fabulous. The chicken Marsala is my favorite. His meatballs are delicious. Chicken French is great. All pastas are wonderful. Meals are huge. Pizza is the best in Webster by far. They do great take out of everything on the menu too. Highly recommended.
(5)Lilly L.
Being a native of Webster, I have to say that Proietti's is one of the best Italian restaurants in town! The Pizza, the sauces, salads, and pasta dishes are all very good. The zucchini starter is wonderful too! Service is very good also. A bit on the pricier side though...I have never been to the all-you-can eat night, but I hear that is very good also. The restaurant is cozy and warm, cute place for a 1st date too! Check it out...
(5)Kevin B.
Pretty good food. Price is a little on the high side for it thou.
(3)Meredith M.
For New Years Eve as a kid my parents would take my brother and I to a movie and then to Proietti's for dinner. That was a great tradition! On a recent trip back to Rochester my parents and I revisited this wonderful Italian restaurant and it hadn't changed a bit. While my parents ordered sultry main dishes I opted for the irresistable pizza I treasured in my younger years. Mmm, I almost forgot what I had been missing!

My friend and I came into this establishment tonight for dinner. We were greeted with a friendly smile and seated immediately. The design of this restaurant really stands out, in a good way. They really seemed to utilize the limited space offered by a strip mall location. It didn't feel too crowded. We were brought water and fresh bread rolls which were good. Our waitress was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable of the menu. With her soft spoken words, she answered any and all questions we had. On to the food... Though not on the menu, they accommodated my desire for a caprese salad as an appetizer. My friend ordered the calamari appetizer. The caprese salad was excellent. Very flavourful and well plated, with some thin slices of garlic toast. My friend's calamari was perfectly cooked and very tasty. After our appetizers came the entrées. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli with wild mushroom marinara. It was absolutely delicious. The ravioli had a great texture and flavor, the sauce was bursting with flavor. I forget the name of the dish my friend ordered, but it had crab and scallops. He very much enjoyed the dish and said the white wine sauce was excellent. Up next was dessert. I had the Chocolate mousse and he had a cheese cannoli. Both were great! Throughout the evening we were well taken care of by the very friendly and attentive staff. If I ever come through this town again, I will have to find a way to stop here again! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Italian food.
(5)Zach M.
Atmosphere and food were all very impressive!! The food is the best around and the service was very good. They make you feel like they appreciate your business and are thankful that you are dining with them. Highly Reccomended and we will definitely go back! P.S. They were also very flexibly and accommodating with the menu (love how you can pick two ravioli's for your diner instead of just choosing one).
(5)Jim Y.
Excellent Classic Italian cuisine and atmosphere. Just had the Chicken French, and the sauce is a perfect mild creamy lemon for the tender chicken chunks. The chicken pastino soup had a deep flavored and developed broth. I then had the Antonio, also perfectly done chicken fillets in an awesome mushroom and artichoke cream sauce. The complimentary zuchinni appetizer and the just baked rolls were just the start of great Italian cuisine. Our server Melanie was very attentive, brought a number of ingredients to make our own dipping garlic oil, and knew exactly how to explain the entire menu for a vegetarian and what to have made to order. The house burgundy was well paired with everything. Will definitely repeat.
(4)Joe M.
Great meal, start to finish. I'll go in order of our order: Calamari was nothing new, battered and deep fried, but they did two things I always hope for: 1) it wasn't chewy, still tender, and 2) they include the tentacles. The pieces with the tentacles have more surface area and more crunch. We orrdered a side of their spicy arrabiatta(sp?) sauce and that stuff is GOOD. Besides the rolls, which were warm and delish, they brought out some zucchini stewed in tomato sauce. Everyone went nuts for this stuff, it tasted so homemade. An real treat, and very Italian. The salads and soups were good. Like the calamari, nothing crazy or different, but done very very well. Between the zucchini, calamari and my cup of broccoli soup, I could have called that dinner and left happy. But then came the entrees. I got mushroom ravioli, which was packed with savory mushroom flavor, and there were mushrooms in the tomato sauce. My wife got the squash ravioli, and she gave it a thumbs up as well. There was a minor, very nit-picky issue we both had with the ravioli, which is why I take off a star. The ratio of pasta to cheese to filling was off. The ravioli are so huge, you really have to ration out the pasta while you eat or else you'll end up with a bite just ricotta, and many bites are just pasta and ricotta, no filling. They seem to really love their ricotta and want to feed you as much as possible. Frankly, if I'm getting mushroom ravioli, I don't really need any ricotta at all. But like I say, this is being picky, and different people might like them this way. The service was great, one of those places where they seem genuinely interested in making sure you had a great time. I will definitely be back, especially since there were so many good vegetarian options (as there should be, real Italian cuisine is full of vegetables). I just might not order the ravioli.

I went here with a few friends tonight for a birthday celebration. I have been here before many years ago and didn't love the food. Today was shot #2.... And we're sadly disappointed again. I want to like it. A few family members like it. Yelp tells me I should like it. I want to like it. The service was decent. Our food came out hot and fast - a little too fast for my liking. We ordered a bottle of white wine and didn't get wine chiller on the table. Our server was very polite and kind - but we felt rushed (no fault to the server - we did go at 7pm.) I ordered gnocchi and a meatball. They were so heavy. Granted, I understand this is pretty heavy dish, but they were like tiny, heavy, yet a tiny bit tastier, bricks. On a scale of 1 to 10, flavor was around a 2. My husband ordered the ravioli. He refused to describe them as anything other than "pretty average." My buddy got the chicken Marsala. Strangely, this was not a chicken breast, but already cut up "chunks" of breaded chicken. I'm not sure the reasoning behind this - maybe perhaps because the average crowd was around 60+ years old the night we were there - but it was new to me. Taste-wise, I'm told this was probably a 2.5 out of 5. I feel like the menu should have mentioned it wasn't a full chicken breast, but that's just my opinion. Overall, the location of this nourishment center was great, as we were going to Hooligan's to watch the NBA finals and US World Cup game immediately after. I honestly can't say I will give this place another shot --- as much as i want to like it :(
(2)Amy S.
Love everything about this place! Great food, they cater too! Owner is very generous and has worked tirelessly making this one of the best restaurants in Webster! So many changes/turnover in Webster with chain restaurants popping up everywhere. Support local businesses! If you haven't tried this place yet then what are you waiting for. Love the saltinboca and calamari. The pizza is delish too! They have the old fashioned pepperoni which is my favorite! A huge plaza for parking so easy and convenient.
(5)Michael B.
My fiancé and I made our third visit to Proietti's last night, and everything was as perfect as it had been the previous two times. The atmosphere is very comfortable, the service is excellent, and the food is always delicious. She has ordered the stuff filet of sole all three times and can't get away from the greens and beans! I asked to speak to an owner/manager just to say thank you because we have really been that impressed by this business. Highly recommend!
(5)Linda G.
Last night the red sauce was so garlicky and dark red we assumed it was over cooked. We should have sent the food back to the kitchen. Five out of the eight people in our party had the red sauce and we ended up getting sick from the meal. Food poisoning sick that is - violent and immediate. We also had the salad with house vinegrette. Either the salad, dressing or the red sauce was terribly wrong. Very unpleasant experience. I would never consider going back to this restaurant.
(1)Andy M.
Excellent, excellent food. We just had them cater our rehearsal dinner, and everything was great. We'll definitely be visiting these guys again. Thanks again!! Loved it.
(5)Em R.
Three stars seem to be a good rating for this place Although the service, and the food were pleasant, it really didn't stand out either way. We went to Prioetti's for dinner because our intended destination was closed for the week, and Webster's sit-in dining options are limited to mainly chains. We were seated immediately in a restaurant that was dimly lit and decorated in a way that hid the fact that it's located on a strip mall. This was definitely a plus. Our server was polite and prompt and we got our orders started quickly. We ordered the Artichoke French appetizer, and they gave us a free appetizer of stewed zucchini. Both of these were the highlight of the meal. The Artichoke French was almost perfect ( I prefer a bit more lemon), artichokes that are beautifully egg dipped and fried served in a thick and buttery sauce. The zucchini were the healthier choice with slices of zucchini cooked in a delicious tomato sauce. For dinner I ordered the gnocchi with tomato sauce and a meatball, another friend ordered the fettuccine with vodka sauce. Both dishes came with salad or soup. We all ordered the salad and I must say I was disappointed. It's the typical iceberg with a few sad additions, mine came with crumbly blue that tasted like nothing, and a dressing that didn't add any interest to this dish. After a few bites, I just pushed the salad aside, since I knew the main dish would be a large portion. The portion for the gnocchi was huge, as one would expect on an Italian American restaurant, with plenty of sauce and a decently sized meatball. The meatball was not bad, tender juicy, and well flavored. The tomato sauce wasn't bad either, it wasn't sweet (which I liked), but I felt it was missing something, another flavor, I wasn't blown away. The gnocchi were not bad either. But at the end of the meal (which of course I couldn't finish!) I didn't feel it was the best Italian food in Rochester. If I am in Webster, this wouldn't be a bad choice for a decent dinner, but I would probably not go out of my way to eat there.

I want to give this place more stars but I can't based on consistency. I almost always order the same thing. Linguini with Pesto with a meatball. I am Italian and the last thing I ever order is red sauce at a restaurant - it always disappoints me because our family Sunday sauce is the only one I like. So I normally order something I rarely make at home. Their pesto is inconsistent. One time it will be amazing and the next it will be an oily mess. The meatball is over mixed. There is no indication that the meatball has any parsley, cheese or breadcrumbs in it. Makes me wonder if they are even homemade. Weird coloring for a meatball too. My husband orders lasagna, chicken French, and we have had the saltimbocca.. they are ok. I don't leave here thinking it's the greatest meal I have ever had, especially Italian. But if you think about Webster - then it's a good choice for those craving Italian food. I wouldn't call it unbelievable though - it's average. I also always leave thinking we overpaid for an average Italian meal. Glasses of wine are pretty small as well. Just not that impressed but it's all Webster seems to have that is decent in Italian.
(3)Adam G.
Fantastic chicken french
(4)Morgan H.
Love, love, LOVE Proietti's! I must admit that it has been a long time since I've eaten in the restaurant, but we get take out regularly. It is one of the few places where the food travels well. We have never been disappointed.
(5)David D.
Food is decent, but the drive to Mr. Dominic's is worth it. I always feel rush here. I even had the owners be a bit rude when I noted this as we had out of town guests right before Christmas last year. We had every course and dessert had to be to go because they seemed irritated we took longer than their stated 65 minute turnover time. Dropping $300 for 4 people plus tipping for the extra time should be sufficient. They will cook by request if notified in advance which earns them a second star. They also cater and get the food right. However I don't like feeling rushed especially when drinking wine with dinner. They have been in business for 45+ years. Maybe they feel justified in their ways but it's always a changing food scene and this needs to be noted.
(2)Trese L.
Went for dinner on a Friday. Had about a 10 minute wait but the staff was even attentive during the wait and got me seated as soon as they could. Good atmosphere which I wasnt really expecting for a strip mall location, but i was pleasantly surprised. Very courteous service throught the entire time. Provided a free zucchini marinara appetizer and fresh rolls which were delicious. Had the scallop and crab stuffed sole which has greens and beans and it was delicious. The fried calamari was a great appetizer, cooked perfectly and large enough for three or even four people. Lots of food and two glasses of wine for less than $50 dollars. It was a good night and i highly recommend this restaurant.
(4)Andy M.
When back in town we always make a point to return to this great restaurant. Had another great meal!
(5)Matthew P.
Always great food and service here. Small cozy dining room, I recommend reservations. French style Artichoke hearts are delicious. Chicken/Veal Antonio melts in your mouth. Veal Saltimbocca is amazing. When you're looking for a small hometown authentic Italian restaurant and not a chain Italian cookie cutter restaurant try out Proietti's. They even serve up a nice pie (pizza) as well, if you just want a quick Friday night casual dinner.
(5)Laura B.
The chicken french is very good. Service and the waitress was very nice and good to make sure our meal was perfect . First time there but it won't be my last .
(5)Lee R.
When my husband and I bought a house in webster we received two gift certificates in the mail from Proietti's. One for two free entrees and another for a free pizza! I thought that was really awesome of them! They could've been cheap and just given like $10 off, but went above and beyond! We went a few months ago so I can't remember our exact dishes but I loved the zucchini they served to start the meal. We also had soup, ravioli, and a fish special. All of it was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and gave us packets of crackers for my picky 2 year old. My only suggestion would be to get a full liquor license. Wine selection is also minimal and if you're an Italian restaurant you should at least have a good variety of wines, especially if you only serve wine and bottled beer. We will definitely go back again :-)
(4)Tammy B.
My husband and I took advantage of a night away from the kids to celebrate our wedding anniversary and decided to try somewhere new. We drove from gates and were blown away by the food! We even left with a $75 gift card for my parents anniversary! My husband got chicken parm and I got chicken Antonio. There was not one thing we would have changed on either dish! I think we find our new anniversary spot!
(5)Brian M.
Garrett said this was the best Italian food in Rochester. Garrett obviously isn't Italian and has no taste buds. Probably one of the most non-memorable meals I've had. The calamari was tender but the lasagna was worse than I had in public grade school. I'm being generous here. It was not worth the trip. I've had their pizza in the past and it was good. I'd recommend sticking to that if you have to eat here. And everyone is right about the decor. It's like eating in your Italian grandfather's basement. Good lord, is there no accounting for taste in Rochester?
(1)Garrett W.
By far and away the best Italian food in the Rochester. Other reviewers are right that it doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is amazing. If you are looking for great Italian food you should definitely give this place a try.
(5)Eric J.
My knowledge of good pasta is admittedly limited, growing up in a small Texas town where the Pizza Hut was our only "Eye-talian" restaurant. Fortunately, through the years since, I've been able to sample a variety of more authentic versions of Italian food. Proietti's seems to lean toward the Italian-American end of the spectrum, which is to be expected in New York, the state that practically invented this popular cuisine. The location in a strip center is tad depressing on the outside, but it's quaint and welcoming on the inside. The servers were friendly, helpful and attentive. Prior to our dinner, complimentary bread and an unusual zucchini appetizer were tasty. My entree of Chick-a-Bello consisted of chicken and mushrooms with fresh pasta in a marinara and pesto sauce, and it was delectable. My partner ordered homemade butternut ravioli and enjoyed it as something different than normal. Our out-of-town dinner guest had Rochester's invention, Chicken French, and exclaimed more than once that it was simply incredible. The wine selection was limited, but good. All in all we enjoyed our food, even if it was slightly overpriced for Italian food in a suburban strip mall behind a Burger King and a frozen yogurt shop.

Sunday evening. Good efficient service we had eggplant pram. And broiled haddock and greens and beans....very generous portions and all delicious!!!!!!

My husband and I had our first date night in a long while here last night, 06/07. We had a reservation for 7:30, but misjudged how much time it would take to get to Webster from our home, so arrived at 7:05, and were seated promptly. I really enjoyed the decor-it was dark, but not overly so, and a nice setting for a little romance. Our server was excellent, though I unfortunately have forgotten her name, and was very attentive. I can honestly say that we were both thrilled with our meals. We shared the Chicken French Bites appetizer, which was tender, lemon-y, and absolutely cooked to perfection. There was an overabundance of sauce, which we were happy to mop up with some of the delicious bread service. I enjoyed the zucchini marinara solo, as my husband does not care for zucchini, but he did taste the sauce and pronounced it tasty. We both had the soup, the chicken pastina, which was a good, solid chicken soup with chunks of escarole, which I enjoyed from both bowls (husband does not eat many vegetables..). It needed a touch of pepper, which happily was on the table. As for entrees, my husband ordered a a plate of Spaghetti with their Spaghetti sauce (as opposed to more marinara) with meatballs, and I had the Chicken Antonio. I'm always a little leery when he orders spaghetti, as we've had bad experiences elsewhere with it, but he was truly amazed at how much he enjoyed it. The meatball was one of the most tender morsels I've ever put in my mouth and the spaghetti sauce, though not entirely to my taste (a bit more acidic than I'm happy with), he ate the entire generous portion. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that my Chicken Antonio was essentially Chicken French (with more of that delicious lemon sauce) with artichokes, mushrooms, and Fontina cheese, which was absolutely amazing. I cannot stress that enough. The side of fettuccine Alfredo was rich and buttery. I actually had to top myself from eating everything on the plate, because I wanted to be able to warm it up again the next day and eat it again-this was made simple by the fact that there were two, around 5 oz chicken breast portions on the plate, joined by the cheese on top. Drinks and dessert was, I felt, my only hesitation point. I'm extremely particular about iced tea-no sweetener, no lemon, just ice and cold tea in a glass, and theirs tasted like it had been in the container a bit too long as it was beyond the borders of bitter. Our server happily replaced it with ginger ale, which was much better. My chocolate mousse honestly tasted like whipped chocolate pudding from a mix-it wasn't bad, but I was expecting better after the rest of the meal. The lemon ice my husband ordered was excellent though, light and refreshing, and the bites I stole from that more than made up for it. All in all, this is definitely getting added to the date night roster.

The noodles are homemade, at least they taste and look homemade. So rare to find a restaurant that makes their own noodles and it makes the dishes taste amazing. A tad pricey, but really good food.

This is incredible comfort food. I haven't tried anything at Proietti's that hasn't made me sigh, coo, and rub my belly with contentment. No matter what you order for dinner, it will be good. If you're overwhelmed with all of the choices and love cheese and pasta as much as I do (who the heck doesn't?!), try the chicken fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli and mushrooms. The seasoning on the chicken is perfect, the chicken stays nice and moist, the veggies are just the right texture and consistency, and the sauce is rich but not so heavy as to leave you feeling gluttonous at the end of the meal. Don't leave without trying the Pizza Frita (fried dough balls with sugar) for dessert. It's very tasty.

While it may look like you're entering a shady, take-out style restaurant, this is not the case. The food is fresh, authentic and simply delicious. I was able to modify my chicken scampi to include veggies - mushroom, artichoke hearts and broccoli. Now that I think about it, I didn't even look at the check to see if my modification incurred any additional charge...probably because it was so darn good, didn't care! I took the leftovers home and ate them that same night...I couldn't really help it. My fiancee was happy with his meal as well, Beef Tenderloin au Poivre. We live about 25 mins away from this restaurant but decided to go because we had a function to attend in Webster - got dinner to make the trip worthwhile. We will be back, way before we're back in the area for any other reason!

It was a delicate dish served with two filets of sole stuffed with a mixture of crab meat and scallops resting on a bed of escarole and baked yellow beans topped with a generous amount of aromatic browned onions. I could tell that the chef did not need to put much flavoring into the dish and the ingredients themselves created a unique mix of flavoring that easily satisfied the palate. The seafood stuffing was more minced than I had expected however. I guess it was better to keep the dish together. The beans and the escarole were excellent additions. They had soaked in all the essence of the fish and seafood mix that might as well made them a main dish in their own rights. Proiette's was a good end to the business trip and food run that I had in Rochester.

This might be the best Italian Restaurant in town. I wouldn't know because it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE for someone to convince me to eat Italian food at a restaurant that's not located within 50 miles of Manhattan. I think I'd probably rate this place with 1-stars had it been in this aforementioned region. But I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since it's located in western NY. Let's do the bad qualities first: 1. The wine list is weak. I mean, it would be one thing if this was like an $8-$12 entrée type joint attached to a pizzeria or something. But they're going for an aesthetic here that leads me to believe that Yellowtail Shiraz and Kendall Jackson could be upgraded a few notches. Also, they have Ruffino Chianti, but not the reserva, just the latest release, which is shit. 2. The entrées were priced like $15-$18, and the specials like $18-$22. C'mon, man, really? Italian food is not expensive to make. This is a low-rent joint. It doesn't have to be that way. 3. Those were some small-ass appetizers! I thought Italian places were supposed to overload customers with piles of food! The Good: 1. Lots of options, and not just your typical Italian fare. They had lots of great fish selections. 2. Fast service, my water glass was never empty. Ultra friendly people (I think that's more because of the region, everyone is super friendly up here, it reminds me of Minnesota). 3. The food tasted ok, meh, I've had worse (like Carraba's) We ordered the stuffed button mushrooms. They were kinda meh. A little flavorless. The fried calamari was better. They also put a little plate of zucchini marinara on our table, and that was ok except a bit cold. My entrée was the stuffed filet of sole, stuffing was supposed to be scallops and crab, but I couldn't really tell what the heck it was. The fish itself was cooked properly, and tasted ok. It was served over escarole and cannellini beans. The escarole needed to be drained more, it was soaking wet. One of the folks I was with had sirloin tips and told me I should try one because it was soooo good. Um, yeah it tasted like the sirloin tips that were sold at the mess hall at my old college. Basically a dry piece of meat doused in gravy. The other diner I was with told me to try the Chicken French. That dish is HUGE up here like your local Fuccillo Hyundai dealer. Everyone serves it in their restaurants here. I don't really see this dish much on LI. We don't have garbage plates either. Anyway I'm getting off track - the Chicken French was ok, I don't really have a basis for comparison here. Maybe if I go to an Italian place up here that locals actually think is crappy, I'll raise my rating, since I do try to take region into account when I rate places. But for now I think I'll stick with 2-stars. At least it's not Olive Garden!

I travel to Rochester every once in a while, and a co-worker took me out to Proietti's. I had to come back here and write them a review after such a good meal. Our waitress offered us to let us try an appetizer for free, and we got to try the zucchini in marinara sauce. I got lucky and my co-worker didn't like it, so I enjoyed it alone. I had the chicken parmesean, and it was top notch. We had excellent service, and never had a dry glass or an empty bread basket. When I return to the area, I will definitely be dropping back in for some wonderful, authentic Italian.

Nice food, just right price. American style Italian restaurant. Good service, and good for a casual family dinner.
(3)Michael B.
Absolutely. Tremendous. Authentic. Italian. I don't naturally trend to Italian fare on a regular basis but even my Irish/German taste buds told me that I was in possibly one of the finest Italian restaurants in all of Rochester. Why, oh why, did I not come here before? Don't be fooled by the look of the place on the outside or the fact that it's in a small plaza; when you walk through the doors you are pleasantly surprised by the dim lighting and varnished wood decor with wall mirrors. Seating is classic Italian: black lacquered wicker chairs and small tables that may seem too small for dining but lend a very nice intimacy to share with your party - Italians understand more than most that dining is about more than food, it's about conversation and companions. The ambience here is very good for kindling romance or for conducting business. Complimentary zucchini marinara as a fee appetizer is not only hospitable but very tasty - al dente and flavorful. Chicken Parmesan can be had all over town but Proietti's has it down to a science - light and crispy on the outside, flattened, evenly cooked and juicy on the inside with just enough Parmesan to add flavor but not overpower the seasonings. And the veal Saltimbocca? Wonderful! Prosciutto to add salty texture, Kalamata olives for tang and the veal melts on your tongue. The food was so good we actually split plates just to try the various dishes. I recommend the house Italian red for a pairing as it has a light fruity aftertaste. A merlot is a tad too strong for a meal. The service is top-shelf. Our waitress was young but very pleasant and knowledgeable. After our meal I had put my card on the edge of the table and she even had the presence of mind to swipe it off the table as she walked past without interrupting our conversation. The completed check was placed politely on the corner of the table for me and there was no rush to pay and leave even though it was prime dining on a Friday. My only regret is that I didn't take the time to enjoy an espresso after dinner but I was completely stuffed. If a content customer is the sign of success, Proietti's has a long future in front of it. They've not only earned my repeat business but my recommendation to anyone who will listen. Ben fatto!

The interior could seriously use some updating, but the food is wonderful. Everything is truly homemade, and while it's not cheap, it is fabulous. The chicken Marsala is my favorite. His meatballs are delicious. Chicken French is great. All pastas are wonderful. Meals are huge. Pizza is the best in Webster by far. They do great take out of everything on the menu too. Highly recommended.
(5)Curt M.
Awesome food and if you're interested in seeing how it's done, the owner offers cooking classes where he shows you how to make some of his specialties. The chicken french is "to die for", however my favorite is the Saltimbocca. They also have a pizza that gets very good reviews although we've never ordered takeout. Another family owned and run business - the owner is often in the back cooking while the wife is the hostess. Once seated, you are treated to an appetizer of one of the house specialties - zucchini marinara. It is wonderful! The oil they serve with the bread is top of the line - first cold pressed olive oil. If you don't know what that means - Whitey (the owner) offers a cooking class where he will explain such things.
(5)Andrew K.
I have been here twice now, both with free coupons. Free stuff is great! The first, traditional dinner. I chose the Veal Saltimbocca and it was good. The pasta was cooked well, the veal was good. I wasn't completely sold on the sauce. I love prosciutto and this helped the dish along. I found the combination of the salty meat, olives and pesto to be a little too salty. We also had the squash ravioli, which was again good... but seemed like it was a little off in the flavor or seasoning. Second time we had the pizza and this was much better. I would definitely order pizza from here again. The crust was thick, the toppings were fresh. Overall, its very regular Italian food. I don't think there was anything that makes me want to go there right now, but the pizza was good. Does that help?
(3)Ben S.
I used to travel to Webster a lot for work. One time a coworker and I were looking for an Italian restaurant we had perviously been to. I ended up finding Proietti's we thought it was the place we had been before...it wasn't but it was much better. Now every time I'm in the area I make sure to stop by to get my fill of good Italian food.
(4)Scott G.
Have gone to Prioetti's a couple times. They are one of the few non-chain places in the Webster area I would return to. They are reasonably priced and the service is friendly. Try the spicy sauce on the pizza! The wine list leaves a lot to be desired. I would recommend a reservation most any night to avoid a short wait.
(4)Kevin B.
Pretty good food. Price is a little on the high side for it thou.
(3)Lilly L.
Being a native of Webster, I have to say that Proietti's is one of the best Italian restaurants in town! The Pizza, the sauces, salads, and pasta dishes are all very good. The zucchini starter is wonderful too! Service is very good also. A bit on the pricier side though...I have never been to the all-you-can eat night, but I hear that is very good also. The restaurant is cozy and warm, cute place for a 1st date too! Check it out...

My friend and I came into this establishment tonight for dinner. We were greeted with a friendly smile and seated immediately. The design of this restaurant really stands out, in a good way. They really seemed to utilize the limited space offered by a strip mall location. It didn't feel too crowded. We were brought water and fresh bread rolls which were good. Our waitress was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable of the menu. With her soft spoken words, she answered any and all questions we had. On to the food... Though not on the menu, they accommodated my desire for a caprese salad as an appetizer. My friend ordered the calamari appetizer. The caprese salad was excellent. Very flavourful and well plated, with some thin slices of garlic toast. My friend's calamari was perfectly cooked and very tasty. After our appetizers came the entrées. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli with wild mushroom marinara. It was absolutely delicious. The ravioli had a great texture and flavor, the sauce was bursting with flavor. I forget the name of the dish my friend ordered, but it had crab and scallops. He very much enjoyed the dish and said the white wine sauce was excellent. Up next was dessert. I had the Chocolate mousse and he had a cheese cannoli. Both were great! Throughout the evening we were well taken care of by the very friendly and attentive staff. If I ever come through this town again, I will have to find a way to stop here again! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Italian food.
(5)Zach M.
Atmosphere and food were all very impressive!! The food is the best around and the service was very good. They make you feel like they appreciate your business and are thankful that you are dining with them. Highly Reccomended and we will definitely go back! P.S. They were also very flexibly and accommodating with the menu (love how you can pick two ravioli's for your diner instead of just choosing one).
(5)Tammy B.
My husband and I took advantage of a night away from the kids to celebrate our wedding anniversary and decided to try somewhere new. We drove from gates and were blown away by the food! We even left with a $75 gift card for my parents anniversary! My husband got chicken parm and I got chicken Antonio. There was not one thing we would have changed on either dish! I think we find our new anniversary spot!
(5)Jim Y.
Excellent Classic Italian cuisine and atmosphere. Just had the Chicken French, and the sauce is a perfect mild creamy lemon for the tender chicken chunks. The chicken pastino soup had a deep flavored and developed broth. I then had the Antonio, also perfectly done chicken fillets in an awesome mushroom and artichoke cream sauce. The complimentary zuchinni appetizer and the just baked rolls were just the start of great Italian cuisine. Our server Melanie was very attentive, brought a number of ingredients to make our own dipping garlic oil, and knew exactly how to explain the entire menu for a vegetarian and what to have made to order. The house burgundy was well paired with everything. Will definitely repeat.
(4)Em R.
Three stars seem to be a good rating for this place Although the service, and the food were pleasant, it really didn't stand out either way. We went to Prioetti's for dinner because our intended destination was closed for the week, and Webster's sit-in dining options are limited to mainly chains. We were seated immediately in a restaurant that was dimly lit and decorated in a way that hid the fact that it's located on a strip mall. This was definitely a plus. Our server was polite and prompt and we got our orders started quickly. We ordered the Artichoke French appetizer, and they gave us a free appetizer of stewed zucchini. Both of these were the highlight of the meal. The Artichoke French was almost perfect ( I prefer a bit more lemon), artichokes that are beautifully egg dipped and fried served in a thick and buttery sauce. The zucchini were the healthier choice with slices of zucchini cooked in a delicious tomato sauce. For dinner I ordered the gnocchi with tomato sauce and a meatball, another friend ordered the fettuccine with vodka sauce. Both dishes came with salad or soup. We all ordered the salad and I must say I was disappointed. It's the typical iceberg with a few sad additions, mine came with crumbly blue that tasted like nothing, and a dressing that didn't add any interest to this dish. After a few bites, I just pushed the salad aside, since I knew the main dish would be a large portion. The portion for the gnocchi was huge, as one would expect on an Italian American restaurant, with plenty of sauce and a decently sized meatball. The meatball was not bad, tender juicy, and well flavored. The tomato sauce wasn't bad either, it wasn't sweet (which I liked), but I felt it was missing something, another flavor, I wasn't blown away. The gnocchi were not bad either. But at the end of the meal (which of course I couldn't finish!) I didn't feel it was the best Italian food in Rochester. If I am in Webster, this wouldn't be a bad choice for a decent dinner, but I would probably not go out of my way to eat there.
(3)Michael B.
My fiancé and I made our third visit to Proietti's last night, and everything was as perfect as it had been the previous two times. The atmosphere is very comfortable, the service is excellent, and the food is always delicious. She has ordered the stuff filet of sole all three times and can't get away from the greens and beans! I asked to speak to an owner/manager just to say thank you because we have really been that impressed by this business. Highly recommend!
(5)Dina P.
I want to give this place more stars but I can't based on consistency. I almost always order the same thing. Linguini with Pesto with a meatball. I am Italian and the last thing I ever order is red sauce at a restaurant - it always disappoints me because our family Sunday sauce is the only one I like. So I normally order something I rarely make at home. Their pesto is inconsistent. One time it will be amazing and the next it will be an oily mess. The meatball is over mixed. There is no indication that the meatball has any parsley, cheese or breadcrumbs in it. Makes me wonder if they are even homemade. Weird coloring for a meatball too. My husband orders lasagna, chicken French, and we have had the saltimbocca.. they are ok. I don't leave here thinking it's the greatest meal I have ever had, especially Italian. But if you think about Webster - then it's a good choice for those craving Italian food. I wouldn't call it unbelievable though - it's average. I also always leave thinking we overpaid for an average Italian meal. Glasses of wine are pretty small as well. Just not that impressed but it's all Webster seems to have that is decent in Italian.
(3)Adam G.
Fantastic chicken french
(4)Morgan H.
Love, love, LOVE Proietti's! I must admit that it has been a long time since I've eaten in the restaurant, but we get take out regularly. It is one of the few places where the food travels well. We have never been disappointed.
(5)Linda G.
Last night the red sauce was so garlicky and dark red we assumed it was over cooked. We should have sent the food back to the kitchen. Five out of the eight people in our party had the red sauce and we ended up getting sick from the meal. Food poisoning sick that is - violent and immediate. We also had the salad with house vinegrette. Either the salad, dressing or the red sauce was terribly wrong. Very unpleasant experience. I would never consider going back to this restaurant.
(1)Andy M.
Excellent, excellent food. We just had them cater our rehearsal dinner, and everything was great. We'll definitely be visiting these guys again. Thanks again!! Loved it.
(5)David D.
Food is decent, but the drive to Mr. Dominic's is worth it. I always feel rush here. I even had the owners be a bit rude when I noted this as we had out of town guests right before Christmas last year. We had every course and dessert had to be to go because they seemed irritated we took longer than their stated 65 minute turnover time. Dropping $300 for 4 people plus tipping for the extra time should be sufficient. They will cook by request if notified in advance which earns them a second star. They also cater and get the food right. However I don't like feeling rushed especially when drinking wine with dinner. They have been in business for 45+ years. Maybe they feel justified in their ways but it's always a changing food scene and this needs to be noted.
(2)Brian M.
Garrett said this was the best Italian food in Rochester. Garrett obviously isn't Italian and has no taste buds. Probably one of the most non-memorable meals I've had. The calamari was tender but the lasagna was worse than I had in public grade school. I'm being generous here. It was not worth the trip. I've had their pizza in the past and it was good. I'd recommend sticking to that if you have to eat here. And everyone is right about the decor. It's like eating in your Italian grandfather's basement. Good lord, is there no accounting for taste in Rochester?
(1)Garrett W.
By far and away the best Italian food in the Rochester. Other reviewers are right that it doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is amazing. If you are looking for great Italian food you should definitely give this place a try.
(5)Nicole C.
The noodles are homemade, at least they taste and look homemade. So rare to find a restaurant that makes their own noodles and it makes the dishes taste amazing. A tad pricey, but really good food.
(4)Eric J.
My knowledge of good pasta is admittedly limited, growing up in a small Texas town where the Pizza Hut was our only "Eye-talian" restaurant. Fortunately, through the years since, I've been able to sample a variety of more authentic versions of Italian food. Proietti's seems to lean toward the Italian-American end of the spectrum, which is to be expected in New York, the state that practically invented this popular cuisine. The location in a strip center is tad depressing on the outside, but it's quaint and welcoming on the inside. The servers were friendly, helpful and attentive. Prior to our dinner, complimentary bread and an unusual zucchini appetizer were tasty. My entree of Chick-a-Bello consisted of chicken and mushrooms with fresh pasta in a marinara and pesto sauce, and it was delectable. My partner ordered homemade butternut ravioli and enjoyed it as something different than normal. Our out-of-town dinner guest had Rochester's invention, Chicken French, and exclaimed more than once that it was simply incredible. The wine selection was limited, but good. All in all we enjoyed our food, even if it was slightly overpriced for Italian food in a suburban strip mall behind a Burger King and a frozen yogurt shop.

Sunday evening. Good efficient service we had eggplant pram. And broiled haddock and greens and beans....very generous portions and all delicious!!!!!!

My husband and I had our first date night in a long while here last night, 06/07. We had a reservation for 7:30, but misjudged how much time it would take to get to Webster from our home, so arrived at 7:05, and were seated promptly. I really enjoyed the decor-it was dark, but not overly so, and a nice setting for a little romance. Our server was excellent, though I unfortunately have forgotten her name, and was very attentive. I can honestly say that we were both thrilled with our meals. We shared the Chicken French Bites appetizer, which was tender, lemon-y, and absolutely cooked to perfection. There was an overabundance of sauce, which we were happy to mop up with some of the delicious bread service. I enjoyed the zucchini marinara solo, as my husband does not care for zucchini, but he did taste the sauce and pronounced it tasty. We both had the soup, the chicken pastina, which was a good, solid chicken soup with chunks of escarole, which I enjoyed from both bowls (husband does not eat many vegetables..). It needed a touch of pepper, which happily was on the table. As for entrees, my husband ordered a a plate of Spaghetti with their Spaghetti sauce (as opposed to more marinara) with meatballs, and I had the Chicken Antonio. I'm always a little leery when he orders spaghetti, as we've had bad experiences elsewhere with it, but he was truly amazed at how much he enjoyed it. The meatball was one of the most tender morsels I've ever put in my mouth and the spaghetti sauce, though not entirely to my taste (a bit more acidic than I'm happy with), he ate the entire generous portion. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that my Chicken Antonio was essentially Chicken French (with more of that delicious lemon sauce) with artichokes, mushrooms, and Fontina cheese, which was absolutely amazing. I cannot stress that enough. The side of fettuccine Alfredo was rich and buttery. I actually had to top myself from eating everything on the plate, because I wanted to be able to warm it up again the next day and eat it again-this was made simple by the fact that there were two, around 5 oz chicken breast portions on the plate, joined by the cheese on top. Drinks and dessert was, I felt, my only hesitation point. I'm extremely particular about iced tea-no sweetener, no lemon, just ice and cold tea in a glass, and theirs tasted like it had been in the container a bit too long as it was beyond the borders of bitter. Our server happily replaced it with ginger ale, which was much better. My chocolate mousse honestly tasted like whipped chocolate pudding from a mix-it wasn't bad, but I was expecting better after the rest of the meal. The lemon ice my husband ordered was excellent though, light and refreshing, and the bites I stole from that more than made up for it. All in all, this is definitely getting added to the date night roster.

Nice food, just right price. American style Italian restaurant. Good service, and good for a casual family dinner.
(3)Joe M.
Great meal, start to finish. I'll go in order of our order: Calamari was nothing new, battered and deep fried, but they did two things I always hope for: 1) it wasn't chewy, still tender, and 2) they include the tentacles. The pieces with the tentacles have more surface area and more crunch. We orrdered a side of their spicy arrabiatta(sp?) sauce and that stuff is GOOD. Besides the rolls, which were warm and delish, they brought out some zucchini stewed in tomato sauce. Everyone went nuts for this stuff, it tasted so homemade. An real treat, and very Italian. The salads and soups were good. Like the calamari, nothing crazy or different, but done very very well. Between the zucchini, calamari and my cup of broccoli soup, I could have called that dinner and left happy. But then came the entrees. I got mushroom ravioli, which was packed with savory mushroom flavor, and there were mushrooms in the tomato sauce. My wife got the squash ravioli, and she gave it a thumbs up as well. There was a minor, very nit-picky issue we both had with the ravioli, which is why I take off a star. The ratio of pasta to cheese to filling was off. The ravioli are so huge, you really have to ration out the pasta while you eat or else you'll end up with a bite just ricotta, and many bites are just pasta and ricotta, no filling. They seem to really love their ricotta and want to feed you as much as possible. Frankly, if I'm getting mushroom ravioli, I don't really need any ricotta at all. But like I say, this is being picky, and different people might like them this way. The service was great, one of those places where they seem genuinely interested in making sure you had a great time. I will definitely be back, especially since there were so many good vegetarian options (as there should be, real Italian cuisine is full of vegetables). I just might not order the ravioli.

I went here with a few friends tonight for a birthday celebration. I have been here before many years ago and didn't love the food. Today was shot #2.... And we're sadly disappointed again. I want to like it. A few family members like it. Yelp tells me I should like it. I want to like it. The service was decent. Our food came out hot and fast - a little too fast for my liking. We ordered a bottle of white wine and didn't get wine chiller on the table. Our server was very polite and kind - but we felt rushed (no fault to the server - we did go at 7pm.) I ordered gnocchi and a meatball. They were so heavy. Granted, I understand this is pretty heavy dish, but they were like tiny, heavy, yet a tiny bit tastier, bricks. On a scale of 1 to 10, flavor was around a 2. My husband ordered the ravioli. He refused to describe them as anything other than "pretty average." My buddy got the chicken Marsala. Strangely, this was not a chicken breast, but already cut up "chunks" of breaded chicken. I'm not sure the reasoning behind this - maybe perhaps because the average crowd was around 60+ years old the night we were there - but it was new to me. Taste-wise, I'm told this was probably a 2.5 out of 5. I feel like the menu should have mentioned it wasn't a full chicken breast, but that's just my opinion. Overall, the location of this nourishment center was great, as we were going to Hooligan's to watch the NBA finals and US World Cup game immediately after. I honestly can't say I will give this place another shot --- as much as i want to like it :(

Went for dinner on a Friday. Had about a 10 minute wait but the staff was even attentive during the wait and got me seated as soon as they could. Good atmosphere which I wasnt really expecting for a strip mall location, but i was pleasantly surprised. Very courteous service throught the entire time. Provided a free zucchini marinara appetizer and fresh rolls which were delicious. Had the scallop and crab stuffed sole which has greens and beans and it was delicious. The fried calamari was a great appetizer, cooked perfectly and large enough for three or even four people. Lots of food and two glasses of wine for less than $50 dollars. It was a good night and i highly recommend this restaurant.
(4)Andy M.
When back in town we always make a point to return to this great restaurant. Had another great meal!
(5)Matthew P.
Always great food and service here. Small cozy dining room, I recommend reservations. French style Artichoke hearts are delicious. Chicken/Veal Antonio melts in your mouth. Veal Saltimbocca is amazing. When you're looking for a small hometown authentic Italian restaurant and not a chain Italian cookie cutter restaurant try out Proietti's. They even serve up a nice pie (pizza) as well, if you just want a quick Friday night casual dinner.
(5)Laura B.
The chicken french is very good. Service and the waitress was very nice and good to make sure our meal was perfect . First time there but it won't be my last .
(5)Lee R.
When my husband and I bought a house in webster we received two gift certificates in the mail from Proietti's. One for two free entrees and another for a free pizza! I thought that was really awesome of them! They could've been cheap and just given like $10 off, but went above and beyond! We went a few months ago so I can't remember our exact dishes but I loved the zucchini they served to start the meal. We also had soup, ravioli, and a fish special. All of it was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and gave us packets of crackers for my picky 2 year old. My only suggestion would be to get a full liquor license. Wine selection is also minimal and if you're an Italian restaurant you should at least have a good variety of wines, especially if you only serve wine and bottled beer. We will definitely go back again :-)
(4)Amy S.
Love everything about this place! Great food, they cater too! Owner is very generous and has worked tirelessly making this one of the best restaurants in Webster! So many changes/turnover in Webster with chain restaurants popping up everywhere. Support local businesses! If you haven't tried this place yet then what are you waiting for. Love the saltinboca and calamari. The pizza is delish too! They have the old fashioned pepperoni which is my favorite! A huge plaza for parking so easy and convenient.

This might be the best Italian Restaurant in town. I wouldn't know because it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE for someone to convince me to eat Italian food at a restaurant that's not located within 50 miles of Manhattan. I think I'd probably rate this place with 1-stars had it been in this aforementioned region. But I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since it's located in western NY. Let's do the bad qualities first: 1. The wine list is weak. I mean, it would be one thing if this was like an $8-$12 entrée type joint attached to a pizzeria or something. But they're going for an aesthetic here that leads me to believe that Yellowtail Shiraz and Kendall Jackson could be upgraded a few notches. Also, they have Ruffino Chianti, but not the reserva, just the latest release, which is shit. 2. The entrées were priced like $15-$18, and the specials like $18-$22. C'mon, man, really? Italian food is not expensive to make. This is a low-rent joint. It doesn't have to be that way. 3. Those were some small-ass appetizers!

It was served over escarole and cannellini beans. The escarole needed to be drained more, it was soaking wet. One of the folks I was with had sirloin tips and told me I should try one because it was soooo good. Um, yeah it tasted like the sirloin tips that were sold at the mess hall at my old college. Basically a dry piece of meat doused in gravy. The other diner I was with told me to try the Chicken French. That dish is HUGE up here like your local Fuccillo Hyundai dealer.

Maybe if I go to an Italian place up here that locals actually think is crappy, I'll raise my rating, since I do try to take region into account when I rate places. But for now I think I'll stick with 2-stars. At least it's not Olive Garden!
