Things to do in Pittsford
1. Richardson's Canal House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 276 reviews
Richardson's Canal House is a casual gourmet kitchen set on the scenic banks of the Erie Canal in Pittsford, NY.
Reviewed By Probateman
We were invited by our dear friends to celebrate his birthday in the cobblestone pub, and we were again treated to fine meals. I started with some delicious onion soup and a glass of a Finger Lakes riesling wine that lasted the rest of my meal including a delicious tenderloin steak and very smooth mashed potatoes. Our birthday boy had the steak, but he started with his favorite, oysters on the half shell. We had great meals, and although we have been to Richardson’s Canal House many times before, each time is very special, augmented by our historic surroundings on the Erie Canal.
2. Starbucks

I think if I liked coffee I would enjoy Starbucks. I have eaten lunch at every place within a 15 minute drive of my place of work since eating here this past week. I went with their special holiday Turkey and stuffing panini. When they pulled out what looked like a hot pocket and put in microwave I started to wonder if I made a good choice.
The panini had very little Turkey and stuffing and I guess I should have not expected anything more than what I got. The croissant was good but I cannot really recommend getting a sandwich here. If looking for coffee and a place to hang while surfing the web, this might be the place for you. If looking for an actual meal, I recommend other venues nearby.

Stopped in here with some friends for coffee and dessert. Great choice of desserts and reasonably priced too.
Coffee was self serve, but seemed to be freshly ground. One member of our party disappointed that they don't do lattes and cappucinos.
The shops has the feel of an upmarket farm shop. Everything looked delicious and fresh. The apple pies looked especially good.
Would definitely try the lunch next time we are visiting

Lemoncello is not about pampered, chi chi tiny-portion-Italian cuisine - it is robust Italian-American of a stellar quality. The specials indicate however the genius of chef - we tried a combination of the specials and the items on the regular menu, which are your basic Italian-american dishes (parm! spag bol! etc). The special soup of the day was a mushroom that was exceptional, trimmed with just the right amount of truffle oil and garlic essence. The fish special featured stunning seafood and wahoo, grilled to perfection, with garlic mash and sauteed vegetables. Just these two dishes indicated the genius of chef. The items off the menu: the linguine vongole with red sauce was oversauced with unfortunate gobbets of marinara, probably an indication of the Italian-American interpretation of the dish. The greens, beans on pappardelle was also oversauced, but extremely tasty. Needless to say, the homemade pasta in both cases was fantastic - however, quality of the pasta would have been more apparent if not buried by the extreme quantities of sauce. Waitstaff was brisk but friendly and knowledgeable. Note: it was a bit offputting to arrive at what looks to be a restaurant to enter straight into a bog standard neighborhood bar, complete with long haired chappy playing '70s guitar. Advice to management: give more scope to chef, please!

For the 30 years we've lived in Pittsford, buying the tree was the joyful part of this old establishment. This year, 2 of "santas helpers" (blokes to tie and tether) were reprimanded when they sold me a tree with a label indicating US34 and the boss elf stated that that label was wrong: it HAD to have "fallen off" one of the wreaths and hooked itself firmly into the tree. Boss elf produced an entirely different tag which was for US49 which was supposedly the RIGHT tag. Santa's helpers not impressed. Boss elf as grumpy pants. Solution: split the difference, fer petesakes. My recommendation: the venue is nostalgic, but some Ebeneezer is running the show. Go with the Boy Scouts, use this place for photo ops. (Oops, Ebeneezer might want his royalty fee...).
6. Bruegger's Bagel Bakery

Reviewed By Henry D - East Amherst, New York
We needed an early breakfast and chose Bruegger's. The bagels were very good. Counter service was a bit slow and somewhat forgetful. It was a Sunday morning (about 6:30) and some ingredients were not ready yet. We had to wait about 10 minutes for our order. There is a large selection available, but one had already run out, or had not yet been made.
7. Simply Crepes Cafe - Pittsford
Overall Ratings
4 based on 238 reviews
A full service, "polished casual" restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Beer, wine, specialty coffees & frozen drinks, served year round! We take the mystery out of crepes by fusing a French Canadian crepe, family traditions and American classics. Catering options include box lunches, party platters and customized on site chef solutions to enjoy at your office or home! Bon Appetit!

Visited for brunch with my daughter and was very disappointed. The restaurant was cold. I mean everyone sitting at their tables including me were wearing their winter coats. It was that chilly. The restaurant was not providing a warm oasis in the middle of the Rochester winter. To top it off, our service was very slow and not responsive. Being that cold, it would have been great to have been offered a warm drink immediately. We waited and waited. We could see other tables getting service but not us. If we were not in a time crunch and did not know that the food would be great (I've been here twice before) we would have left quite honestly. The food was excellent as expected but I'm not sure it was worth being uncomfortable. I spent $50 on a lunch for 2 and ate with my coat on and never did get that glass of water I requested.

Every time we come to Pittsford to see my wife's sister we always stop at Abbots for ice cream. The Turtles are great, but lots of calories...but who's counting! Great after dinner spot for desert along the Erie Canal. You can sit and enjoy the ice cream or walk along the canal path.

Visited here several years ago and returned again this weekend. Really wish we had a local place like this. Breakfast lunch breads coffees baked treats...its all delish. Came home with three sliced loaves to see us through the month anyway. Nice atmosphere for meeting friends. Bright and airy.

I have purchased cupcakes for both a baby shower and a bridal shower over the past year, in addition to just for eating and enjoying. They offered a tiered glass platter that I could borrow for displaying the cupcakes for the showers. There were delicious and I received many compliments. You can call ahead to determine the flavors of the day and they even offer gluten free.
