Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. Typical hours are 4–8 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Rochester is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Rochester peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We had our baby shower here and it was a dream come true. The food was delicious and the drinks were just as great! The staff made the day so stress free, we got to enjoy every minute without worrying about anything. The two rooms provided ample space, it never felt crowded. Extra special shout outs to Taylor, Jeremy, Jadi, and Clarisse for being so wonderful.

We had an amazing experience at Monroe’s Restaurant in Rochester. It was a great halal dining option, and the food, service, and overall atmosphere made the visit feel really special. We ordered their famous walnut crusted chicken, chicken wings, and chicken pasta, and everything was excellent. The walnut crusted chicken was definitely the standout flavorful, well-prepared, and different from the usual chicken dishes you find elsewhere. The wings were tasty and satisfying, and the chicken pasta was rich, comforting, and a great addition to the meal. What made the visit even more memorable was the staff. They were genuinely kind, welcoming, and accommodating. We were celebrating our anniversary, and they allowed us to bring an outside cake after requesting the original store receipt, which was completely reasonable and handled very professionally. That small gesture made the evening feel personal and thoughtful. Overall, this was more than just a good meal it was a really nice dining experience. Great halal food, warm service, and a place that helped make our anniversary celebration even better. Definitely a spot I would recommend and return to.

We recently had our daughter's baby shower at Monroe's and we couldn't be happier with our experience there. The staff was so kind and helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure our needs were met. Taylor, our event coordinator, was very helpful and quick to respond to my emails. The staff set up the Vintage room beautifully and the beverage area was spacious and elegant. The large buffet was amazing. Our guests were very complimentary of the food, it was absolutely delicious. We were impressed when the manager introduced himself to our guests and offered assistance if they needed anything. We truly had a perfect day at Monroes and wouldn't hesitate to book there again in the future!

I don’t understand the bad reviews, the food is delicious and the portions are huge. Came with friends and had a good time. I would absolutely order the burrata, shrimp scampi, chicken parm with vodka sauce again. The steak on top of the salad was cooked perfectly and the house vinaigrette is tasty. Will be back.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Monroe’s for hosting my baby shower! We had 62 guests, and from start to finish, everything was absolutely seamless. We chose the Monroe package with a brunch-style menu, and the food was incredible β€” beautifully presented, fresh, and so delicious that my guests are still talking about it. Every detail felt thoughtfully put together, and the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and perfect for such a special celebration. What truly set the experience apart was the team. The service was attentive, organized, and genuinely welcoming. A special thank you to the manager, Jeremy, who went above and beyond β€” he personally went table to table checking in with my guests to make sure everyone was happy. That level of care made the day feel even more special. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers amazing food, a beautiful setting, and outstanding service, Monroe’s is it. I’m so grateful we chose them for such an important day!
