Lemoncello Italian Restaurant & Bar

At Lemoncello, we are a family-owned Italian restaurant that prides itself on serving authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Founded by brothers Massimo and Fausto Albano, we are a reflection of their love for Italian culture and tradition. Our story began with a simple vision: to share the beauty of Italian cuisine and hospitality with the community.

Our History

Massimo and Fausto, first-generation Italian immigrants, brought their father's passion for cooking and their own family's traditions to East Rochester. They worked together to transform a space into a cozy Italian Bistro, inspired by their Mediterranean roots. Every detail, from the exposed wooden beams to the cozy outdoor seating areas, reflects their family's heritage. Our guests return for our quality Italian cuisine, often surprised by our changing decor and lively live music.

Our Chef

Leading our culinary team is Chef Nick LaPietra, a native of East Rochester and a veteran of the culinary scene. With a decade of experience, Nick has crafted a modern Italian menu that honors traditional techniques and flavors while innovating and exploring new sensations. His expertise in sauteing and appreciation for deep flavors have made Lemoncello a staple in the community.
