Aria had a great outdoor patio on East Avenue, downtown and it was the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch. I ordered the Tilapia with Fresh Asparagus and tomato salad. They brought the wrong plate out though. The piece of fish seemed way too big for tilapia. I took a bite anyway and it was pink inside and it tasted like salmon. I asked the waiter what was up and he took it back. My dinner mate was enjoying her Fettuccine Boscaiola while the kitchen covered their tracks. The tilapia was fabulous when it arrived and it was on the house.

Aria is gone already. It was located in the old Rochester Club restaurant which had changed it's name to Gerry's before it folded. I have no idea why he closed that place. He seemed to have a good thing going there and we always had a nice mea there. And it was so much fun to talk wiyh Gerry when he came out of the kitchen. It is now a Mediterranean place. That would seem to include Italy.

This place has changed hands so many times I don't even know what it is anymore.
