Angelinas - Rochester (NY)

5 /5 Cynthia Love: A trendy corner spot in the center of Southwedge Neighborhood. The bar is in a separate space from the restaurant, but the atmosphere connects through music. The service was very friendly and attentive. The menu is very creative, and changes seasonally. The appetizer was hands down my favorite dish. My friend and I split the Spanish Goat Cheese dip, that came with fried crackers. It was unbelievable!! The chicken cutlet had incredible crunch, which the chicken was juicy. It’s one of the more straightforward traditional dishes for the less daring. The carbonara was rich, creamy, and very flavorful, with a creative spin. I highly recommend the ice tea.

5 /5 Elyse Brown: We went to Angelina’s for dinner on Halloween night. Impeccable is how I would describe the experience. The drink menu was incredible, food was truly shareable with portion sizes that reflect the price. The carrots and the arancini are heavenly and not to be missed. I was so into the meal that I forgot to take photos, save one of the short rib! Go the Angelina’s!

4 /5 Taylor Baxter: Came here for a quick GNO with a friend and the place is so cute! Been meaning to come here for a while and it didn’t disappoint. There’s multiple options for seating throughout the restaurant, a clear and straightforward menu, a lovely wine list and GREAT food. It was very loud at times but it would die down quickly and unfortunately most of our fries were burnt. The ones that weren’t tasted great though! Our server was funny and attentive. Will be coming again! Would highly recommend the brussel sprouts!

4 /5 Skylar Johnson: This was my first time dining at Angelina’s. We had the miso carrots which were excellent. We ordered a margarita off the menu and a cosmopolitan which were both very good as well. For the entrees we ordered the short rib-incredibly tender, flavorful and a great sized portion. We also ordered the burger, this was good but not incredible. There were a lot of wet veggies on the burger that were kind of overwhelming and led to a soggy bun. To finish I ordered an espresso martini off the drink menu. This was not good at all in my opinion. I know most places put their own spin on espresso martinis, but this drink had a very strong black licorice/star anise flavor that was overwhelming, I couldn’t help but make a face after trying it. For a $14 cocktail this was disappointing. Overall, everything was very good and we will definitely return to try the spring/summer menu.

5 /5 Victoria S: We chose Angelina’s to celebrate our 6-year wedding anniversary, and it was the perfect decision. - Tuna Tartare: Presented in a deconstructed style, it was vibrant and full of flavor—an exciting start to the meal. - Short Rib: When the server brought a spoon, I knew it would be tender, and it truly was—moist, rich, and deeply flavorful. - Trout: Cooked beautifully and served in a way that surprised me, but the taste exceeded expectations. - Dessert: A carrot cake without nuts or raisins, which I appreciated. While I wished the cream topping had been a touch sweeter, the cake itself was delicious and a satisfying finish. What made the evening even more special was sharing the experience with friends we recommended that same night—they loved their entrees just as much. Angelina’s delivered a memorable dining experience, perfect for a celebration, and we left feeling grateful we chose this spot.
