- KKaren1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is the second time my friend and I have eaten dinner at Fortune's. Both times the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. The rolls are out of this world. Prices are very reasonable, not as expensive as other casino restaurants. Looking forward to going back.More infoFortune's Italian Steakhouse$$$$• Italian• Batavia•4.5
- JJoanneUpstate New York •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe 5 of us women were very pleased with our food. Service was excellent, and I was especially pleased that my request for a table in a quieter area of the restaurant was met. Bocaccini’s is an excellent restaurant, food always excellent, but it can be really difficult carrying on a conversation at the table when the restaurant is busy with patrons.More infoBocaccinis Italian Bistro$$$$• Italian• Fairport•4.6
