Lemoncello Italian Restaurant & Bar

Wonderful service! We sat at the bar! Bartender was great to chat with! Cozy spot! Great drink menus! I never order dessert when we go out. But let me tell you!! GET THE CAKE!!!! Perfect date night! We look forward to coming back!

Fine Italian dining. Homemade pasta, great bolognese meat sauce, and the appetizers are excellent. Flavors are spot on (although light on the salt which I like). They have a great selection of martini's as well. A little expensive, and the dining area is loud, but worth a try on a special occasion.

Their signature Pizza was awesome 👌
Owner was warm and told me how the restaurant name came to be. Definitely worth a night out or a simple drink at the bar.

This was our first time dining here, what a great Italian restaurant. The food and service was excellent.
My wife had the manicotti and I had the cioppino, and the mussels, scallops, and clams were cooked perfectly some of the best I have ever had.
I highly recommend this place if you are looking for true authentic Italian food.
We will definitely be going back.

We were in Rochester for our Sunday wedding and suddenly had more guests come in earlier than expected and wanted to have dinner together. Lemoncello were so gracious to allow us to change our reservation of 10 to 27 with only a days notice! Our server, Carolyn, was efficient, kind, and personable - she's amazing! The food was incredible - I highly recommend the Chicken Marsala or any of the pizzas! They even congratulated my fiance and I with a complimentary cannoli! Our guests ranged from my 12 year old nephew to my 73 yr old mother-in-law and everyone left happy! We had people with limited mobility, dietary restrictions and preferences (Gluten Free, Vegetarian, and Vegan) and everyone was accommodated. Thank you, Lemoncello, for helping make our special weekend perfect!

I highly recommend Lemoncello!! Such a quaint, fun restaurant! I went mainly to hear one of my favorite bands, and was pleasantly surprised with...Awesome food, incredibly friendly staff, clean restrooms! I can't wait to go back!
I had butternut quash and pear soup, it was awesome!! Shrimp and scallops medly, salad with house dressing, the dressing was a huge hit, and carrot cake! Honestly one of the best meals I have had in a long time!! Definitely try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!!!

Talk about an absolute gem in town. Incredible atmosphere and service with delicious Italian food. An absolute must visit in town you won't regret. If you need a venue, they have a separate building right across the street that is as beautiful!

Very busy and crowded the night we went. Lots of locals theren appeared to be a middle aged to older crowd. We sat on the patio. Service was kind of slow and I had to ask to get my drink refilled every time.
I got the homemade gnocchi which was very good. My friend got manicotti with marinara sauce. Their marinara sauce was very bitey, which is how I like it. Tangy.
The food was good, the atmosphere was loud and crowded with a lot of people stuffed in a small area.

A nice Italian restaurant with a bar. We stopped in for a cocktail and were not disappointed. They have an excellent Italian cocktail and martini menu. We also decided to get the burrata pizza, which was delicious.

Absolutely exquisite dining experience. Chef prepared food, best service hands down. Your water glass, wine glass, will not go empty and unnoticed. The Chicken Parmigiana is phenomenal. The salads and bread are fabulous. This is a very hip, modern, family friendly, and business appropriate meeting place. It is truly a taste of Italy and a restaurant East Rochester should be proud of.

This was a very nice experience, we had a large party for my sister's birthday. The food was good but pricey. This place would make a nice date night location .

I love Jen ! Best bartender ever !!! So much fun sitting at the bar ! Thank you Jen ❤You are the best !

Host was amazingly sweet, ladies behind the bar were awesome, great conversation and provided fun virgin drinks for the kids. Waitress was patient, perfect timing on checking in on us. Food was delicious. Expresso Martini is a must for adults as a dessert lol! Yummy

This place is amazing. The servers are on top of their game, very professional. Had the Chicken French, very delicious. Leave room for dessert, I didn't, but can not wait till the next visit.

The ladies serving the bar were delightful, professional and friendly. The chef changed the menu plate up to what I wanted. (salmon instead of the shrimp and scallops) The meal was awesome flavor, the peppers and zucchini done to perfection, and the salmon couldn't have been better. Great atmosphere and friendly locals at the bar made for a very nice night out on the road

We went for our anniversary and it was excellent! Our waiter, Stephen, was very knowledgeable and kind. He reccomended great options and improved the dining experience. The free bread is fresh and the cocktails were strong and delicious, aswell as many different options. The salad was decent, but not my style. The tiramisou was incredible, very rich and overall a great rendition. Service was excellent, and overall encouraged a slower dining experience, which is perfect for this fare. We will certainly return.

Lemoncello is perhaps the best Italian restaurant we have been to since we were in Italy.

The waitresses were very nice and friendly, and they knew the menu very well.

The pastas, sauces, appetizers, salads were all incredible. Because we were so hungry, we ordered so many appetizers that we couldn't finish our meals. Sadly, we couldn't have eaten any of the delicious desserts because we were so full.
Compliments to the wait staff, the chef and kitchen for what was a perfect graduation day celebration.
Highly recommend!

I found on my first visit a charming place! Very warm & welcoming & the feel of Italy was everywhere ! My beans & greens were the best I’ve ever had!! The friends with me all gave excellent feedback on chicken French, mortadella pizza & manicotti… a bit pricey I thought for pasta dishes…but overall excellent! Will be back soon!

Great place for a large family gathering. The chicken parm was absolutely massive and quite tasty.

What a delicious Italian restaurant! When we went there was a guitar player that played near the bar but there was seating in the back that was quieter so we sat there. We both got salads with the Lemoncello dressing which was amazing!

One of us got Pork Osso Buco which was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful taste over polenta/mushrooms/spinach. The other got chicken french over homemade linguine which was also perfectly cooked. The chicken was thin, absorbed the sauce perfectly, and their breading complimented the sauce wonderfully.

I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem! While they didn't have any Lemoncello cake which we were hoping to try from the reviews, with how wonderful everything else was I wouldn't be surprised if it was great.
