Branca Midtown

Adore this place. I am a frequent customer and have never had a dish I didn’t like. The drinks are phenomenal. Some of my favorites are a grapefruit cocktail called By the Sea and the Juice cleanse which is carrot juice and vodka, heavenly combination. Favorite pizza is the Pepperoni and honey *chefs kiss*. Their takeout menu (which they update with new items regularly) is getting me through covid.

One of Rochester's best dining experiences! The menu is fresh and creative, and always perfectly executed. The service is also outstanding. I've visited pre-COVID and during COVID with outdoor seating... they haven't slipped even a little while working to manage through the strict guidelines of COVID-era dining. Try the fresh ricotta with crostini appetizer- big enough to split and share. Branca is relatively new to the Rochester restaurant scene, but will hopefully have real staying power.

They make some of the best pasty ever and I'm so happy with the service their staff provided too. I highly recommend you bring the entire family too.

Late night desert, Olive oil cake with blueberries, so yummy. Going back for sure. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Hanging out with my daughters.

So, I'm a huge dumby and made a reservation for the wrong restaurant! The hostess at Branca Midtown was super accommodating and seated us immediately anyway! The service was incredibly fast! I was eating my entrée not even 10 min after I was seated. The food was delicious- very fresh tasting!
