Reviews for Victoria's Ristorante & Wine Bar in Rochester, MN
I have never really been a fan of Italian food. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't had GOOD Italian food before. I ordered... the Crab Passion, my wife had the lasagna. Both were some of the best food I have ever eaten. The restaurant is clean and theserver's are friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are some of the cleanest I have seen and very nice. The wine selection wasgreat. I cannot wait for next time we are in Rochester to go back. Downtown Rochester has got it going on. Read more
I had dinner here last night with my husband. I heard their seafood is good so we tried it. It was great! The environment of the... restaurant is very pleasant. I also enjoyed their choice in music and our server, Justin, was friendly and attentive. They havehappy hour on Sundays but just on drinks. Read more
We wanted to have a more private area to have a 10-person celebration over lunch. The restaurant was gracious to let us have a... smaller meeting area to ourselves. They were wonderful.....the food, the staff, the service, everything! Life is short...havethe (raspberry) creme brulee. Read more
Hadn't been here for several years because of COVID-19. Ordered the veal marsala which is hard to find it most restaurants and... it was pretty good. I wouldn't say great, but certainly pretty good. Read more
This Italian restaurant was pretty spectacular on customer service. (was a little busy from my standards of past... server/hostess) The bread rolls the servers bring out first was great but wished they gave more sauce/oil/not sure what it wasbut it tasted amazing and for amount of breath + 2 people wasn't enough quite frankly.. Loved the pasta (of texture/way it wascooked) but Cheese Ravioli could've used (more, not sure if there was meat or diced tomatoes) but ordered the meat ball side andmuah, completed that and happy as a goose ???? The Baby Shrimp Alfredo was wonderful apparently to the orderer of thatdish All-in-all pretty good restaurant to go to for a casual bite to eat and conversate!! Read more
For as long as we can remember, Victoria's has offered wonderful food, good drinks, and attentive service at an affordable... price. We've been going to Rochester for years, and return to Victoria's again and again because of its consistent excellence.The ample portions, fresh flavors, and good wine list make it one of our favorites. The people at Victoria's, though, are whatreally make it special; the welcome we receive makes us feel like old friends every time we walk through the door. It's also aplace we feel good about going--after all, it was named Minnesota's nicest place in 2020 by Reader's Digest. When you go, werecommend the Mango Chicken Salad. But honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order. Read more
I hate leaving bad reviews, but this has to be done to make others aware. We made a reservation, and we were seated 30 minutes... after our actual reserved time. I understand you cannot warranty the time but 1/2 h is a long time. We took Family here becausewe thought it was a nice and cozy place, but we were seated in some warehouse like dining hall. The chairs wiggling, dirty wallsand carpet and so on. The table was way too small for our party as well and no cutlery was provided and i had to ask for it. Theordered food came late and was cold. On one dish there was some other food that was mixed in, and we did not order that. Theservice was bad as well. After 5 minutes that our food was served, we received a jar of cheese with a comment" Here is somecheese if you want". As I said in the beginning of my review, I hate to leave bad feedback, but I was very disappointed as wellas my guests. I will not recommend this place. Read more
Huge space, but quick and attentive service. They have a great wine list and if you are a scallop lover, try their Scallop... Lazio. You will not be disappointed by the butter garlic sauce it is sautéed in. They split the dish for us and we each gotquite a large portion still (see picture). Overall, portions are very large. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, andthere were 8 of us. The parmesan/oil/balsamic mix they serve with their complimentary rolls is also guaranteed to please. Greatspot, give them a visit!
