Had Salenas delivered for dinner and it was delicious. So fresh and tasty. It was so easy to find food I could eat (gluten free dairy free) and it tastes amazing. I also love being able to order margaritas to go!! 5 stars!

My partner and I live in Rochester but travel everywhere, always looking for a new place to eat out at and Lento is just top tier for us; we always, always return to this gem. The rotating menu, farm to table, gluten free and dairy free options are what make this place so incredible. Every time we come here we get something different and we’ve always been over the moon with the service we’ve received. Hailey is incredible!! Above and beyond and such a joy to be served by her. We recommend this place to everyone. If you get dessert we HIGHLY recommend getting the pear ginger Riesling sorbet. It’s amazing, especially when paired with the Mandarin sorbet, we enjoyed sharing a scoop of each after our exquisite meal. Oh, and drinks are second to none.

Gnocci w/ chicken, Lamb shank on risotto, steak w/potatoes & broccolini, grouper on pasta. Uniformly deliciously sauced, plated & voraciously devoured. Service personal & attentive. Champagne& vodka cocktails - yum! No sound absorbers in ths small intimate dining room, consequently noisey. Touch oversalted. Would recommend. Really gluten friendly.

Nice coffee shop. Had coffee ready quickly and my breakfast sandwich came out pretty soon after that. Also had Gluten Free bread for my wife. Fun artwork on the walls

Dinner was fantastic. We had a change of dinner plans for a group of 9, and they sat us in 15 minutes. The service was excellent; our waitress took such good care of us, and we got our food quickly. We also needed gluten-free options and were very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was in accommodating our needs. Highly recommend this place for both the service and the food quality! ---

We stopped in today for lunch because they have gluten free rolls available. It was fantastic! The Vincenzo Panini, chicken with spicy soppressata, was delicious! The Cubano Panini was unique with capicola instead of ham. Mom loved it! Tom is a great host. We will be back.

Brittany Jones

Very impressed with the amount of gluten free options and how knowledgeable and accommodating the staff was. Food was delicious and celiac safe. Will be back soon!

I checked online before going to make sure they could accomodate me as a gluten free vegetarian. The menu I saw said they have GF pasta and pizza crust. However when we arrive I was told they didn’t have those things. Apparently this Branca and the one in Bushnell’s Basin are owned by different people and have different menus. If you’re gluten free, skip Midtown and go straight to the Basin location

I loved this place though I wish they had more vegan and gluten free options.

I love this place. I have celiac disease, so eating out is a challenge. Velvet Belly not only has a lot of naturally gluten free options, but most of their menu can be made gluten free. The staff and chef are very knowledgeable. I once ordered something that wasn't able to be made gluten free and the kitchen flagged it and had the server retake my order. So, they definitely are careful and know their stuff. We recently went for our wedding anniversary and they even gave us complimentary champagne to celebrate. Love this place. So good, great service, celiac safe!
