Polizzi's

Went here with a group this weekend and had a great time! Server was wonderful, food was so so good. I got the prosciutto wrapped salmon and my husband got the steak, mine was amazing and his was AMAZING in all caps lol. Drinks were strong and bathroom was clean lol, what more can you ask for. Thanks for a great night!!

I’d return just for the Caesar salad and dessert. Entrees were great too but house made desserts are rare and many places don’t know how to make a proper Caesar salad. They taste like they use a cheap bagged mix dressing. This was from scratch, old school. I’m not a fan of croutons but even those were delicious. Prices were also fair meaning we will put this in our regular rotation. You could pay more for a pizza or burger in some restaurants. This place knows how to prepare a meal and the care they put into it shows.

Hostess said she can't take a pickup order, because she has no servers to take the order. that is not the way it done. she can't take a pickup order? wow, just wow

Best bread I have ever had, food is always on point, great service. eveything about this pace is great.

We had the steak frites and veal marsala. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is warm and the service excellent. Blanche (the hostess) is super cool and welcoming, Brian (server) did a great job taking care of us, and the chef/owner came out to greet us after our meal. Top notch experience…will definitely be returning.

My friend suggested this place as we love to try new restaurants that we've both never been to so we came here on a Saturday night with our significant others with high expectations after what looked like a pretty nice menu.
We were promptly seated right by the door and our server was attentive right away. We all ordered sparkling water and a bottle of Prosecco which I don't recall was ever presented to us, just poured... but whatever. We heard the specials- a little rusty in the rendition but we might have been an early table with a 6:45 reservation so it's possible they weren

One of the best dinners I have had in a long time! We Had 4 different appetizers, soup de jour, tournedos au poive, polenta fries and Brussel sprout sides, pot de creme and salted caramel biudino. All of which was amazing!!! We will definitely be back!❤️

My friend has been telling me to check out this place so I ended up at this restaurant at Village gate on a Saturday night when another restaurant had a wait for seating.
We were seated right away for a late dinner.
Wide selection on menu of Italian/Greek dishes and bar menu had mainly pizza and other appetizers. Waiter told us the owner used to be the Head chef at Tournedos and then decided to start his own restaurant.
I went with the appetizer sampler of the vegetarian meatball, arancini ball and shrimp and a side of their polenta fries with pesto aioli. My friend went with their steak with

Every bite was delicious! We shared the vegetarian meatballs first, and the carnivore in our party said they were the best meatballs he had ever had. Next we shared the Saganaki, which spurred an “Opa!” from… our fellow diners. The flaming houllumi was extinguished with lime juice at the table, and we chose to spread it on their delightful house bread. Our cocktails were expertly crafted, and the dipping oil was a fabulous blend of spices, olives oil and the slightest bit of parmigiano. “But wait … there’s more,” said the carnivore. The meatballs were

First time dining here. The food was excellent but the shrimp was slightly over cooked. Customer service was top notch from making recommendations all the way to how we treated being one of the last tables in the restaurant when they closed. Will definitely return here

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Our server Blanche was attentive, friendly and a wonderful person. The food and cocktails were AMAZING. This was our first time to this restaurant and we will definitely dine here again! We highly recommend Polizzi's!

Amazing Delicious Food !!! Excellent Service !!! The Whole Experience was Just Spectacular !!! Highly Recommend !!! Definately will be Back !!!❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The lamb and cod we're fantastic. We wished we lived nearby so we could bring home the leftovers from our side of polenta fries. Service was the best I've had in quite a while. Couldn't have been happier!

We had dinner here on a summer evening, and ate out on the patio. Didn't have high expectations, as it wasn't particularly crowded on a Thursday at 8pm. BUT, the food was awesome. Everyone loved their entrees. The calamari was, no kidding, THE BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN! I had the lamb chops, requested rare, and they were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We also ordered the roasted shrimp, pasta ragu, a vegetarian entree and 3 varieties of salads. The complementary bread was delicious as well. I am purchasing a gift card as a thank you to my cousins for hosting us for a week&apos

Tradition trumps trends.
Gotta get the sausages.
Chef Tom's got it right.

Yelp doesn't like haïkus so I'm extending this review with these words.

Our first time dining here. Must say it was a great experience. Great service. We had wonderful drinks and every bite of our dinner was better than the last. We tried each other's dishes and just amazing. Four of us had different desserts and we were not disappointed! Thank you for loving what you do. It definitely shows.

What a great restaurant! It has a wonderful ambience, having a lot of windows overlooking the Village Gate courtyard. The food was excellent. The vegetarian meatballs, steak, risotto and dessert sampler were real standouts. The cocktails were a treat too!

My favorite place in village gate! Exemplary service, great drinks and the food also never disappoints! I love this place!

They were amazing they took their time to create a sweet chili sauce just for me for my salmon. Outstanding customer service!

Polizzi is our most favorite restaurant in Rochester!! Amazing food, very friendly service. Mushroom risotto, Neapolitan, vegetarian meat balls are superb!!!
I wonder sometimes why people don't coke to this hidden gem more often considering food and ambience and service is sooo good.

Great food and service! Highly recommend the vegetarian meatballs, even if you aren’t a vegetarian and the salad with figs. The bread and olive oil is wonderful. I also appreciate that they are open until 10 am most nights.

This is a hidden gem! We came here for a lovely weeknight meal and experienced great service, a pleasant atmosphere, and solid, delicious food. I loved the family restaurant feel with bread to start, generously portioned entrees, and a plethora of options on the menu. It seems like the type of place you might need a weekend reservation, but we were comfortably seated with no wait on a weeknight. The bar looks great and it's an inviting interior, great for spending time with people you love! We will definitely be back again!

Tried Polizzi's tonight for the first time. Four of us had an excellent meal and dinning experience!
Had the cod and the osso bocco short ribs Meal came out hot and fresh. Our Server Eileen was good, and helpful in food and dessert selection
Nice ambience for a Friday night out after a long week. Menu had a diverse selection of meals. Lots of Apps and a few specials to go along.
We don't often order dessert and coffee out but we did. The coffee was luscious and the Butterscotch Bundino was really really good. Place was clean and owners are on site (and cooking). Couldn&apos

Polizzi's has done it again! This time excellent food during covid pandemic. They're offering to go food and also FAMILY style to go!!! Tonight a few family members and I got the family style artichoke French as well as the family style chicken Parmesan dinner over penne with salad and bread. The chicken Parm was probably the best I've had. The crunchy coating was so flavorful and chef Tom's red sauce is so delicious.

For dessert I had the budino. I highly recommend this dessert. It's only $5 and not something you see in every restaurant around. Once you try it you&apos

Great experience! We came early and they were kind enough to accommodate us. Seated outside in a very nice day, Joe was our server. He went over the specials and started us with drinks. Two of us shared a salad (beats & spinach) and an entree (moussaka). The kitchen was very kind to split the salad a in separate dishes. One of us had pork osso buco. Everything was great. Prices were reasonable. Great service, great food and good prices. Nice!

Really FABULOUS food. Somewhere back there where the magic happens, there has to be some classically trained chefs. From the 3 dishes I tried, all were perfect, very polished and well thought out (and so was the plate after!). Portions are nice too and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Would definitely come back!

My friend and I came here on a Tuesday night, and we figured it wouldn't be very busy.  Well, apparently there was a show that night, so it was packed!  We sat at the bar because they didn't have any tables.  You can order the full menu at the bar, so that was fine.

I arrived at about 6:03, and happy hour was until 6:00, but the bartender still let me order at the happy hour price.  I was very appreciative of that, and some restaurants are really crazy about their happy hour end time, so I really liked that.  I got a sparkling rose that was really good,  And the bartender that
