Fantastic dining experience between the service, food and atmosphere. It's a rarity to find Chicken Piccata, and Terza's is well worth the trip.

Good Italian spot to have authentic food, the risotto was amazing is a must in this place, you can taste the grill on the shrimp, the service was a little slow pace but the food in general and the restaurant vibe was good.

Fantastic service and great food on top of it at very reasonable prices. You feel well taken care of by the staff here. My girlfriend and I will definitely return in the future.

Fine dining Italian cuisine. Nicely balanced flavors. The roasted root vegetables served warm tossed in a rich balsamic dressing was not too acidic and tinged with just a bit of sweetness. The herb grilled scallops were cooked just right, tender, served with a light sauce that does not overpower the seafood, all presented atop a very rich risotto. The surprise was the steak and blue ziti. What a nice combination of umami from the steak cubes, mushrooms and brown sauce, add to it the tartness of blue cheese and acidic sweetness of sun dried tomatoes, served with perfectly al dente handmade ziti pasta. We’re told that Chef Vincenzo comes in every morning at the break of dawn to make all the different pasta variations for each restaurant day! Not cheap, but worth every penny.

I came here for the first time on a Saturday Night. We made reservations because we didn't want to get there and wait. Apparently they didn't see the reservation and said it would still take a bit to get a table. Someone at out table placed an orde about 10 minutes before we did but got his food 10 minutes after us because they put a hold on it. The service was good besides that, our waitress checked on us frequently and other waiters would come by and check in on us every now and then as well. The food was pretty good, but the portions were ok. The issue I saw was the price to quality of food ratio just isn't there. Pretty expensive for what you get or what you can get in other places in Rochester. I enjoyed the experience but would definitely prefer going to Victoria's.

We wanted to love this place, but didn't. Waiter was not attentive to us (had to remind him about ordered drinks after waiting 20 minutes and did not seem to want to be working (maybe he had an off day?) Food was good but portions were inconsistent- our table of nine shared with those who did not seem to have much on their plate. Seems very odd to go away from an Italian restaurant a little bit hungry? Glad we ordered appetizers at least. Maybe they just had an off night, but we all expected a bit more in quality of service and a little more food on the plate for the price.

We enjoyed our dinner here for the first time. We were in the mood for some good spaghetti and meatballs since we had not had any for quite a while. We shared the rather large spaghetti with Mother sauce/red sauce and 4 good-sized meatballs. The sauce was very good, as were the meatballs and noodles. We also shared their poached pear salad with figs and blue cheese. It was wonderful as well. We'd have liked it a little lighter on the dressing, but still very tasty.

Fantastic experience. Took my wife for her birthday and couldn't have had better service, drinks, or food. The bartender and chef knew what they were doing and the waitstaff was outstanding. Our server, Erin, was above and beyond. HIGHLY recommend.

Made it there in time to have a low fat meal before 8 pm as had tests early at Mayo. Got a seat on the deck and were sad to hear the upstairs bar was no longer open. Quickly ordered a Caesar salad to share. Hubby had the Bolognese and I did spaghetti and meatballs. Way too many meatballs for me, so shared. Ate it all! Had to ask for bread, but then ended up with two baskets. Love this place. They have never failed us.

We had a nice meal here. We liked the ambience, our server was friendly and the food came quickly. The food was flavorful. The only negative was that we had to park in a parking garage across the street because several of the spaces in the back lot were taken up by construction equipment or were reserved. The garage was free in the evening, though, so it wasn't a huge deal and we'd return again.
