It’s been around since 1949 and it’s the last of the Italian neighborhood restaurants in Rochesters old little Italy. Most of the inside is original. It’s not updated or modern but that’s part of its charm! I’ve been many times. Incredible food! I got Ravioli with meatballs. I thought it was great and my co worker, who had never been before said it was the best ravioli he had ever had. Wonderful service as well. Christine was an absolute sweetheart. She was attentive, fast, and was in general one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had, in any restaurant. Definitely recommend. It’s important that these sort of places stay open. Go support them! Way better Italian food than you’ll get at any chain.

Sauce is amazing! Hasn't changed in the 70 years they've been in business. Old, local Italian restaurant with excellent food. Eat and enjoy every bite. It's worth it. Only open for lunch, prices are very reasonable for an awesome menu.

Our waitress Christine was great. We were there to celebrate a birthday and enjoy the eggplant parm and we did both. My tripe was the best I have had. It was not chewy at all, just tender enough without being mushy and the sauce had just the right amount of heat.

No frills, family owned since the 1940’s. Food just like Grandma and Dad used to make. The sauce is delicious, the eggplant is melt in your mouth, the service is friendly, casual, and efficient.

This is agreat little Italian spot. They have authentic Italian food large dishes for a great price. The servers are great and have a good attitude. The atmosphere is loud but the food is good.My wife and I come here often for lunch and have never had a bad meal. Service is always great also. Just wish they had better dining hours.

Flat-out the last real, authentic Italian food left in Rochester. Lunch menu changes daily (lasagna on Tuesday). Best bread come non-stop to your table by the sweetest servers. Samantha is an absolute gem!!! Their tripe is the best, consistently, anywhere. Lunch only 11-2, dinner on Fridays. I always stop when I come back to visit my childhood hometown.

Talk about a step back in time, Rocky's is a Rochester landmark. Located on Jay Street in the city of Rochester. They have the Itlay classic meals, and it was delicious 😋 I had bean's & greens and a side of tripe. It was made the way my grandfather and mom Prepared it, Perfect 👌 The waitress was very friendly and very informative of the specials. The food came out fast and hot. Thank you to all the employees who work to serve me a great time enjoying ourselves with family and friends. Gerry

Love this place but the last few times, it wasn't that good. Hopefully they make improvements to fix what's going on. I love this little place and been going there a long time. Great memories with my grandma as a kid going for lunch. Give it a try!!!!!!
