On the corner of Walnut and Washington in East Rochester and right across the street from the citadel of Italian food, the Northside, Perlos is located right where Giuseppe's was. Giuseppe's was fantastic. Don't know what happened to that one. Donna Perlo who used to own the Water Street Grill downtown now owns this place. She has decorated the dining room with pictures of her family going back many generations.

The food here was very good. The service was a little shakey though. We heard the loudest kitchen collision we have ever heard when one of the servers knocked a full tray to the floor with the swinging kitchen door. We ordered lasagna (two orders) and Chicken Faggio.

I ate at Perlo's this evening and the Milk-fed Veal over greens. I have to say that it was the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. I would highly recommend it!
