Charley Brown's - Rochester

While all the desserts are delicious, one of my favorites is the rice pudding. Be sure to ask the server to heat it just a bit; that enhances the caramel topping and complements the whipped cream perfectly. And if you're a fan of greens and beans, Charlie Brown's has the best around. The Risotto is also exceptional! Not only is the food fantastic, but the portions are generous, the service is gracious, professional, and friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. The wine list is extensive, featuring a new special vintage to try every time. For my husband, our friends, and me, Charlie Brown's is simply the best. You owe it to yourself to discover this gem in Penfield! Madeleine Cuciti

It may be small and dimly lit, but like a fine wine, it has its charm. Great friends always gather here for wonderful meals! It's definitely one of my favorites!

Large family owner restaurant. My family and I have been coming to Charley Brown for 15 years. The owners are on site every night and we are always greeted personally with a smile and a handshake. The prices are reasonable, drinks are well poured and the food is great and very consistent. You have some great specials and live jazz Friday and Saturday nights. If we have friends from the city, we'll always take them to Charley Browns.

My wife and I traveled from Ithaca to Rochester to surprise our daughter for her birthday back in February. Since we were unfamiliar with the local restaurant scene, we chose a place based on Google reviews and photos from Maps. We were absolutely pleased with our decision. We secured the perfect table to surprise our daughter and her partner, and the food was outstanding. The service matched the quality of the food—our waitress was always there when we needed her but knew when to give us space. I’m still amazed at how she managed that! The surprise and dinner were a total success. I highly recommend Charley Brown's and want to extend my gratitude to the servers, management, staff, and owners.

Expansive and delicious looking menu. I got the chicken french which came with a split pea soup, both of which were fabulous. Don't let the outside fool you, it's delicious perfect Italian food for a great valued price! Highly recommend going; will be going back hopefully semi regularly.
