The food tastes like it is home cooked Italian.... More

Without a reservation we had to wait at the bar for a seat in the dining room on a Friday evening, although the crowd thins out a bit after 7:30PM. Portions of chicken parm and lasagna were tasty, generous and reasonably priced. Service at... More

People have been coming to Roncones for the red sauce for decades.

The other diners had the Lobster ravioli & a salmon dish (Greek style) that were all on the specials board. Everyone nearly licked their plates clean! Our server Mary was very sweet... More

Old Rochester at it's best. Classic Italian food. Generous portions, pleasant wait staff, delicious food, not at all overpriced.

We went expecting a treat. Found average food in average to well worn setting. More of a lunch stop than an Italian dinner adventure. Meatballs were very unremarkable. They do have lots of servers and help.

I am a gourmet cook of 30+ years and a very demanding diner, you absolutely cannot find better Italian in Rochester!
