My wife & I went to Branca for dinner. The pizza is hands down the best in Monroe county! The sauce was fresh & flavorful. The prosciutto de parma pizza... Just wow... Between the house made ricotta cheese & the spice from the red pepper... Amazing!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Plenty of parking. Nice fire pit outdoors. Only moderate noise so I wasn’t too bad. Nice decor. Service was excellent and very prompt. They did screw up on my allergies as they specifically said I’m very allergic to a certain seed and when we order the octopus, it was covered in these seeds. Chefs were not paying attention. They made us a new one. No comp was given. The food overall was very good. Octopus was tender. The ricotta appetizer was good, but not nearly as good as Rocco on Monro Avenue near the city. Rocco’s still have the best homemade ricotta downtown in town. I ordered the duck which was tender but I’m sure it was purchased frozen and my wife had a short ribs which she loved. She also got the vegetable salad dish, which was very good and grilled perfectly. Drinks were on point. A lot of older people. It was disappointing that they put pecorino cheese on their linguine and clams as you’re never supposed to mix cheese with seafood with Italian food. That’s not authentic. If it wasn’t for the cheese, the dish would’ve been perfect. They did a good job overall. I would still recommend it.

First time here. Had lunch, a prosciutto pizza. Very good. Fancy place, a bit pricey. Service, food and drinks all good. Not busy, so hard to tell when under the gun.

Margherita Pizza was good. Coffee was great. Ricotta appetizer was great. Service (Connor) was excellent. We were certainly tended to! Atmosphere is roomy but cozy and not loud at all.

The food was not great. Noodles were overcooked. Sauce was oily. For a higher end place we were kind of disappointed. Service average to slightly above average. The atmosphere sure is nice though. Maybe we caught them on an off night. Also maybe worth mentioning is that we were a party of eight and maybe this is more of a date place for couples, although I can't image why that would change the food quality.

7/30/23: It's in Bushnell's Basin, which is in Perinton. It was overall good. The brick oven pizza 🍕 was too charcoal tasting. The bottom of the pizza had lots of charcoal black sections. I read online that burned 🔥 bits are carcinogenic. I could not eat more than 2 slices, but my friends liked the charcoal taste. The charcoal taste overwhelmed my taste buds. The garlic bread 🍞 with honey 🍯 was incredible tasting! The meatball tasted great. There was a worker in the kitchen sporting a long bushy beard with NO beard mask! Some of the female waitresses wore dresses 👗 & shorts that I thought were unprofessional, too tight, & too high up on their legs 🦵.

Drinks and service is great. The food is lacking attention to detail. The lobster risotto was lacking salt and an acid. It was also overcooked. The pasta carbonara was not a carbonara. It was missing parmigiano and percorino cheeses. Only taste like eggs and pasta water. Someone should really taste the food before it gets plated. The appetizers were great. The cook making the appetizers should be the one making everything really.

The chicken filet was flavorless, served at room temperature and was and dry. The truffle fries were like mcdonalds fries with garlic flavored mayonnaise on the side. The atmosphere was nice but for the high price, the food was not great.

I hardly ever leave reviews but this was the worse pasta dish I’ve even had, including homemade. Would definitely not recommend unless you just want some nice wine.

Server was straight faced, flat, and inattentive even when we were 1 of 3 tables at the beginning of the evening. It did not improve and at all even after the ordering of drinks and food. Baffled us and made it a less enjoyable evening.

Had dinner with a party of four, the service was below average and atmosphere was nice. Our salads were served in a reasonable time, the main course came out 40 minutes later after we asked our server to check on our dinners. The salmon was overcooked and did not have all the side items, the $50 scallops consisted of 4 tiny ones and under cooked, the pasta dinner did not have all the ingredients in the meal and was just pasta/pesto/and chicken. The fourth meal was decent. The dining area was not busy and there was no reason for the delay, will not be going back and would not recommend.
