Northside Inn is a very nice Italian restaurant in East Rochester.

There are quite a few pictures of golfers on the walls, from the events played at the nearby Oak Hill Country Club, if you like golf, you might appreciate them.

2009-01-11 09:15:39   I got take-out from The Northside instead of my favorite (Michellina's). The sauce had too much acid and is definitely not "addicting" like my previously mentioned favorite place for take-out. —DabeernFooddude

2009-10-18 22:21:40   Went here tonight for our anniversary dinner. I had Center Portion Steak...wasn't bad but I've had better. Wife had Gnocchi which was fine. Customer Service issues: 1) Waitress (Kristen) didn't introduce herself, yet she did to table next to us in a significantly friendlier manner. 2) When she approached our table to put food down she never let us know she was there and startled us more then once. 3) When she came w/ the Salads she put them down on the bread plates we were currently using (again startled us). 4) She was unaware that the Prime Rib had run out LAST NIGHT and wasn't available tonight (it was 5:30pm). 5) As a person w/ a physical disability, I take offense that she wouldn't talk to or interact w/ me directly. She went over my order with my wife as if what I said was never heard and she gave the check to my wife originally as well as when she brought back the Credit Card to be signed. This despite MY giving her the CC having MY name on it and the fact that I handed the CC to her.

I did speak to the Manager who said he would be addressing the situation with the waitress and sending us a Gift Certificate —PeteB

2009-10-22 10:50:45   Went to the Northside for dinner on Tuesday with my boyfriend and another male friend. My first impression when sitting down is that they could desperately use new menus as they were pretty ratty and torn. This was my first clue that this wasn't going to be a stellar dinner.

The service was terrible. I ordered a bottle of wine and the server brought it with the foil still on the top of the bottle. Who ever opened it never peeled it off, just pulled the cork through it. Needless to say, when she poured it, the excess foil on the top caused her to spill it all over the table and on my boyfriend's lap. Call me old fashioned, but I ordered the bottle which meant I should have tasted it. Nope-the server just called out to the table "who wants to try it?". Even though there was only 3 of us, she couldn't manage to remember who ordered what salad or entree and just "auctioned" them off. The final moment was when our MALE friend paid with his card, yet she handed it back to me (a female). Did you even look at the name on the card??

The food was decent. Salads (which were included with the meal) were incredibly sad—limp iceberg lettuce garished sparingly with a few veggies including a tomato wedge that looked about a week old. Luckily the entrees were better. Both of my companions said their meals were good (gnocchi and lasagna). I ordered artichoke french w/ pasta which I have a hard time finding in most restaurants (most just serve the appeitzer version). It was a large portion, swimming with artichokes but I found the sauce to be a little thick. Overall, I may go back, but only if I can't find a decent artichoke french anywhere else ;)
