Look at our menu and then come in & enjoy something delicious, just like your Grandma made it! Rocky's Restaurant in Rochester, NY, run by the Mastrella family, has been in business for over 60 years. We serve large portions of your favorite Italian foods at the most affordable prices. Here, we want you to feel at home, so come in and enjoy some of your favorites!

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.
Services
Some people call Rocky's a landmark and an institution. Some people say Rocky's offers the best Italian food not only in the downtown area, but in all of Rochester. Some people say Rocky's oozes tradition and offers meals that will make you feel like you are sitting down at your grandparent's dinner table.

First time here and the food was awesome! There was 4 of us and between food and drinks it was alot less than expected and better quality than dining at a high end establishment. I highly recommend it here because you won't be disappointed at all!

Some days quality of food and service better than others. It's like when you were a kid and played "restaurant." Or stopping by your grandma's house for lunch. What you get is what they got on any particular day. Bon appetite'.

Love this place, my grandfather use to take us here as children. I moved out of Rochester in 2003 and every time I visit home I must have some Rocky’s. The Tripe is my favorite, best Italian food in the State🙌🏾

It's like eating at grandma's house. Classic authentic American Italian food. The bldg is old different rooms. Like grandma's house. But the food is totally worth trying at least once.

Best ever! The gravy is unreal and the service is great. Nice family owned spot. Good to see real authentic Italian around still. Ravs and lasagna are phenomenal. Good quality meals and portions for a great price. Love this place wish they were open every night for dinner too!

Rocky’s is classic, old school Italian at its finest. The food is outstanding and portions are made for leftovers. Staff is friendly and efficient. We’ve been for lunch a half dozen times in the past ten years and it has been very consistent. I recommend getting there right when they open at 11am or you may have difficulty getting a table, especially for a large group. The menu changes every day of the week and we haven’t had a bad experience yet. Highly recommended!

My wife and I came up to see my mom and wanted to try an authentic Italian place and they nailed it! I had the meatball and sausage plate with rigatoni so good! Sausage is just spicy enough and the meatballs have a great flavor and aren't dried out and covered in sauce! The pasta though was the standout here made in house its definitely noticeable! Going to be telling everyone I know about this place but they don't need the praise they were packed but the food was coming fast!

My family has been going here for over 50 years. It's the exact same high quality Italian food that they have been serving for decades. Tripe, Ravs, side of pork, and chicken soup. Never once have I ever had bad service here. Never once have I ever had anything but excellent food here. So many fond memories of this place from when I was growing up.
