ABOUT US

Branca Midtown is a modern Italian kitchen inspired by timeless traditions and the spirit of gathering. Located in the heart of downtown Rochester inside the historic Midtown Tower, we’ve been proud to play a part in the city’s resurgence for nearly a decade.

“Branca,” meaning branch in Italian, reflects our roots — grounded in Italy’s rich culinary heritage while constantly reaching for something new. Our chefs craft every detail by hand, from pasta and pizza dough to fresh cheese, showcasing the beauty of seasonal, ingredient-driven Italian cuisine.

Our bar program pairs that same philosophy with a playful edge: classic cocktails reimagined, and a wine list that celebrates the best of Italy alongside thoughtful global selections.

Branca Midtown is where tradition meets creativity — and where every meal feels like a shared celebration.
