Lento Restaurant
For a Lovely Date Night

Rochester has so many vegan options to try. And I keep stumbling upon menus with amazing dishes to try purely by chance. In this latest case, it is Lento Restaurant. I found this dreamy vegan option when I tried to find a place that had deep-fried squash blossoms for my guy to try after our visit to the pumpkin patch. So we headed there for date night!

So it was really the only thing on the menu for a vegan, but no worries. I would have ordered it if there were other options.

As usual, a drink first

Here are the non-vegan squash blossoms. It is kind of funny that they just pipe cheese into a flower and deep fry it.

Here is the vegan option: Vegan Summer Squash Parmesan Style. It’s a house made spinach Mafalde, roasted tomato sauce, local shiitake mushrooms, sourdough breaded zucchini & summer squash, vegan ricotta & Bolton basil. Mmmm

It was a really great dinner. And we followed it up with some espresso ‘cuz we Italian like that.

A truly high quality eatery! I will be checking in as the menu changes.
