Fantastic evening at Terza for our group a few weeks ago. Stacy, one of the restaurant managers, so graciously arranged perfect outdoor seating for our larger party. Our appetizers of calamari and bruschetta were delicious as were the variety of salads ( my particular favorite is the Poached pear salad with figs and outstanding buttermilk dressing)
Each person at our table ordered a different main dish and everyone was thoroughly pleased. A few standouts were the Cioppino and Tagliatelle with Wild Mushroom. The evening was made even more special by having Shaun as our server. He was not only efficient but also so pleasant and accommodating.
Great food and outstanding service made this a most memorable meal.
Highly recommend Terza!

Terza is a nice place to unwind and enjoy a nice meal alone or not. The Tomato basil soup is excellent. The salmon dish I ordered was plenty tasty but the fish was noticeably overcooked. My server, Luke needs a bit more practice to succeed in this type of environment. It was kinda quiet on my 12/18 visit.

I got the chicken fettuccini Alfredo. I've tried both their homestyle and regular noodles, both have tasted great. We also got their cheese stuffed balls, which were delicious. Great atmosphere and setting, probably our favorite fine dining in Rochester.

Down for a concert this evening and came across this as near the hotel and civic center.
Staff promptly greeted us when arriving at our reservation time at 5:30pm. We were seated in a small space off the main dining room. The wait staff is very attentive and courteous including a couple of supervisors or managers who checked on us throughout our evening.
Drinks were chocolate milk and ice teas as didn't want to be sleepy for the concert. My daughter loved the bread with olive oil, they also provide balsamic but she is not a fan.
My wife and I started with the avocado bruschetta which was slightly grilled and topped with avocado, burrata, basil, and I believe red pepper. This was a very tasty appetizer and nicely presented.
Entrees ordered were:
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - kids, many restaurants skimp on the kids one but not this place. A good balance of noodles, sauce, and chicken.
Braised short rib with roasted cauliflower - only one bite which had too much fat to eat, the rest was well prepared with a tasteful demi glaze. Cauliflower was roasted to perfection.
The pappardelle grilled chicken was excellent. With handmade pasta and loaded with vegetables, it was prepared perfectly. The sauce was wonderfully flavorful and all of the components complemented each other in a great, cohesive dish. Highly recommended.
Had cafe mocha and macchiato for an after meal drink, both were presented with an almond biscotti, single natural sugar cube and the proper amount of milk on top.
Dessert was the chocolate almond tortino which we all had a taste but then separated the top as it had a baileys zabaglione on top. My daughter finished the bottom half and my wife and I polished off the top. We also shared a tiramisu which was very well balanced with no one over powering flavor, it was a delight with the creamy mixed the soft lady fingers for a wonderful ending to the meal.
Overall would recommend this place for a great Italian meal out, staff is outstanding and the entire meal was outstanding with attention to all the details.

Good food with an amazing atmosphere. You may need a more sophisticated palate to truly enjoy the food as it's not laden with salt and thus may be interpreted as bland. Personally I'm used to a lot of fast food, so the food didn't "pop" but I would consider that a good thing. This is definitely high class food. During the winter months you can book a private igloo on the roof that is heated. The view and experience is crazy and unique. I highly suggest it! But call early, they book up quickly!

The food was all wonderful! Even with a group of six food came out at the same time and there wasn't a single complaint. My favorite was a a beet and burratta salad that surprised us with how beautifully balanced it was. My only complaint is it was a seasonal special, so I don't know if I'll get the chance to have it again.

Service was impeccable (thanks Grace!). When we couldn't find a cocktail my mom would like the bartender whipped up a delicious Lemoncello based drink.

We had a fantastic time sipping drinks and eating handmade pasta. We ended the meal with desserts and espresso. For an hour or two we felt like we were on vacation.

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.

The food if phenomenal, the cocktails are better than average, wine selection is solid, service is great, and it's all in a beautiful, quiet venue, and it's quite affordable if you keep things basic, and it won't break the bank if you go decadent. The chicken picatta was recommended yo me by our waitress and we tried the calamari for fun and found both to be excellent. Perfect place to go with a lovely date or cherished loved one.
