We had reservation and came here to celebrate my daughter’s 21 birthday. It’s our first time here, a lot of our friends had recommend this place, we love Italian food so we decided to give it a try, we normally just go to our favorite restaurant. We love everything about it, the foods were all so delicious, our server was so amazing and patient, such a great atmosphere with well decorated that gives you the good vibes. I heard and saw their banquet is so nice especially for a special occasion. We love and enjoy it so much and definitely will be back soon.

Me and my husband were genuinely blown away by this place! Spectacular food, BEST service I’ve encountered since the pandemic, wonderful atmosphere, and again AMAZING food!! The seafood dishes tasted so fresh! The calamari appetizer is to die for, so well seasoned, so tender, just WOW! Best clam chower I’ve ever had too and our dinners of course were the star of the show!! Everything came out in a perfect timely manner even though this place was busy. Thank you so much for the best meal and experience. We will definitely be coming back and recommend this place to friends and family <3

This was my first experience here and I was impressed across the board.
Pulling into the busy lot on a Saturday with a nice exterior I could tell there was a great chance for a great meal and the food and service then exceeded my favorable first impression.
We ordered one of the best arancini apps I’ve had anywhere and this is a favorite to try at Italian joints for us. It was cooked perfectly with the rice being soft but not mush and amazing flavor especially the red sauce it came served on.
Next was entrees – ordered lobster ravioli which unfortunately they were out of. Our server recommended a seafood pasta instead which I went with. My wife had the veal parm. Both were excellent. Very flavorful and well seasoned. Meat was tender not chewy.
Also the salad/ soup course was very satisfying. Upgraded to Da’s salad which was a good choice.
Nice homemade food all around. From the bread basket and very high quality olive oil all the way to dessert.
Our server was super attentive and great with the timing of the meal. Made the experience that much better. Many restaurants fail in the service dept these days so I already know we will be back soon. Thanks.

Steven was so professional and service was beyond perfect! Dimitri was charming, kind and definitely on his game. We are regular patrons at DaFrancesco‘s, but tonight was outstanding. The weight staff could not have been better. These young men have parents that have definitely raised their children the right way. They are the reason we will continue to come back again and again.

100/100 – A Phenomenal Experience at
Da Francesco’s
I recently hosted a small but meaningful celebration for my daughter’s graduation as an MD, and I could not have asked for a more perfect place than Da Francesco’s
Originally, I had booked another restaurant with a patio, but just a week before the event, I found out there were no warmers or coverings as promised. I was on a tight timeline after already sending out the invitations, so I began calling around frantically.
Then came Da Francesco’s from the very first call, I was touched by the warmth and professionalism of the woman handling reservations. She was incredibly helpful, calm, and completely on top of everything. Her energy and attentiveness immediately made me feel at ease.
When I visited the restaurant to taste the food and check out the space, I was blown away. The place was bustling over 500 people waiting to be seated and yet the atmosphere was full of love, joy, and vibrant energy. I met the owner, Dominic, who greeted me with the warmest smile. His wife, Kim, is an absolute doll gracious, kind, and ensures that customer service is nothing short of phenomenal.
The food? Absolutely divine. I tried the seafood platter, seafood salad, house salad, pasta, filet mignon, and chicken marsala all were to die for. I also ordered two servings of the Italian rice balls and oh my God… they were insanely good crispy on the outside, flavorful and comforting on the inside. Every bite was unforgettable.
On the day of the event, Shirley, the restaurant manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly as promised actually, even better. She was in constant communication with the owner and was completely up to date with every menu change I made. Her attention to detail made everything run smoothly.
The service team was just as impressive. Nick at the bar, Nicola our waitress, and every single server greeted us with a smile and treated us like family. They were attentive, cheerful, and completely on top of their jobs. It was unreal hospitality at its finest.
My guests couldn’t stop talking about the beautiful banquet space, the warm ambiance, and the incredible food. Da Francesco’s is more than a restaurant it’s a heartfelt, five-star experience. If I could give it 100 out of 100, I would do it in a heartbeat. It’s worth every penny.
Thank you to Dominic, Kim, Shirley, and the entire staff for making my daughter’s special day unforgettable. I’ll be a loyal customer for life and can’t wait to plan more events with you.
With love and deep appreciation,
Dina

Da’s…while I love to visit your beautiful restaurant with amazing staff, I must tell you that your mix drink pricing is ridiculously high.
$12.00 for a rum-n-Coke Sadly in a very small glass. I frequent Rochester and the average mix drink is $8 to $10 in a nice size rocks glass which is comparable to twice the size as yours. Please price your mix drinks at a reasonable amount.

Very large menu. Original home made offerings. Excellent food. Beautiful venue. Always a great meal with good service. Highly recommend. Great for special occasions or a night out. Make a reservation because they are always super busy. *The live entertainment on weekend nights is MUCH TOO LOUD. Avoid seating in the room with the band/musician.
