Amazing food and atmosphere. Food is delicious. We got the Ricotta as an appetizer and the Chicken Milanese and Gnocchi as entrées.

Great service, but Caesar salads were bland and they said I couldn't add raw onion to it. 🙄🙄🙄 broccolini salad and beet salad were very good. Steaks were very bland and blah, the mushrooms were the best part of that plate. Pasta was okay, but chicken milanese was very good. Will not be going back.

After getting turned down by a few other places, since we were a group of 11, Branca was ready to give us a reservation. We are so glad we went here because the food, service and atmosphere were 5/5. Everything was so delicious, our waitress McKenna was a sweetheart and so professional, she made sure our dining experience was outstanding. I highly recommend this place.

Got dinner here while in town from Syracuse and this was easily the best Italian restaurant I have been to in New York State. We ate the pepperoni and honey pizza for an appetizer and the gnocchi Bolognese and cavatelli with duck (pictured) for our entrees. All of the food came out fairly quickly. Everything tasted great and portions were perfectly sized - not so big that I felt gluttonous but still big enough to leave me feeling full and satisfied. We also ordered from the bar a glass of wine and The Kramer: a neat new take on the classic cosmopolitan. The restaurant itself was chic but welcoming and warm, especially on a cold Rochester Saturday night. All of the staff who served us were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to please. I'd also recommend getting the olive oil cake for dessert. I'm excited to eat here again!
