The pasta on the side was nasty, right out undercooked and rubbery—and the meat sauce is too meaty and hardly saucy at all. I'd recommend heading over to McDonald's for a better piece of meat. —LincolnComet

The food is good, my husband loves the lasagna and I'm partial to the sliced sirloin. The cannolis are alright (I've had better) but the Tiramisu was awesome! The hostesses - the ones dressed up like little hoochie mobsterettes were a little snippy and the waitstaff made themselves scarce. We never had to wait long the one time we did have to wait, but I wouldn't ever wait longer than just a few minutes to eat here. This was a good place to come with picky eaters considering their run-of-the-mill Italian-American fare. —StephanieTodd

The place makes me sick to my stomach to look at, its a big Italian cliche. If you love the Sopranos, then you will love Delmonicos. The commercials are worse.

I wont be back. —MrRochester

Overall I've tried three or four different dishes here and I was very happy every time. The Delmonico steak was always cooked close to perfect. (It has gone downhill though, I think - as the last time I was there I think I ended up cutting out close to half the steak in fat.) Another dish my girlfriend and I love is Frutti de Mare. Love it! Another dish I tried was the lasagna, and once again, a big hit. I have been to most of the Italian restaurants in Rochester and I would choose Delmonico's any day!

And, the waitresses are hot, even my girlfriend took note!

The only major annoyance is that for a place that wants to appear more upscale, they have way too many Applebee's-like Happy Birthday jingles with a whole bunch of uninspired personnel with sparklers come out chanting something indiscernible but very very loud and present the recipient with a dessert. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place. —JeffStetz

The pasta was bland and average, though I can't say much to its authenticity or taste since I haven't visited Italy or had an Italian family's homemade dinner. Our party of four waited for over an hour for a seat despite watching over 5 other parties come in after us and be seated before us. Although the manager and hostesses gave poor service to us, the waiter was very nice, though he was an RIT student as our party was.

Our rating: Bad food, (mostly) bad service. —JenFromDC

Bread was good, but cold, the salad, while at least not just chunks of iceberg in a glass bowl, wasn't anything to write home about, and the Chicken Marsala that I had was tender - but lacking in any essence of Marsala about it. The angel hair pasta was good, and nothing was horrible - just not exceptional.

On the good side, the service was pretty good. I'd give the place another try - but it's not on my go-to list, really. —ScottTaylor

Get it with the sauteed onions mushrooms and hot peppers, its out of this world. We have never had a bad meal here. The feel is more chain then traditional Italian. Great place to take the family. —tabascograz
