General Information About Bazil

  • Call Ahead Seating 
    During our most busy hours (Fridays & Saturdays 6pm-8pm) you may want to call us about an hour or so in advance of your arrival to have your name placed on our wait sheet so when you do arrive you won’t have to wait an hour for for a table. Just check in at the front desk when you arrive and tell the receptionist that you called ahead.

  • Reservations 
    You can call us anytime to make reservations.  For reservations of 7 or more on Fridays, Saturdays and Holidays between 5:30pm - 8:00pm we must have you speak with a manager prior to confirming the reservation.  On Fridays, Saturdays and certain Holidays our reservations often book up quickly, however we always leave a certain allotment of tables for our walk in customers.  You may use our Call Ahead Seating during those times.

  • All you can eat!
    Most of our dinner entrees are “all you can eat” which means exactly that. When your done with your plate, your server will bring you more, until you can’t eat any more. Also, all of our dinner entrees include all you can eat house salad and breadsticks. The point is, you don’t leave Bazil hungry, we guarantee it! 

  • The Funnel Cake Dessert
    We suggest that somehow you strive to save room for the carnival style funnel cake. It’s a piping hot fresh carnival style funnel cake generously topped with caramel, chocolate chips, confectionary sugar, a scoop of real vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream and cherry garnish. If you come to Bazil and not try a funnel cake, you may as well not have come in at all...

  • The Pasta Sauce 
    Bazil shares the same recipe as the Mario’s Via Abruzzi Marinara Pasta Sauce that’s now available at Wegmans and other supermarkets. If you look closely, you will see the Bazil logo just above the Mario’s Via Abruzzi logo. Now you can enjoy Bazil at home or send it to a loved one at school.

  • Family History 
    Family owners Mario & Flora Daniele were both born from the same hometown of Castelnouvo, Italy (population of 204) located near the city of L'Aquila in the Region of Abruzzi, Italy.  Flora moved to the United States when she was only eight years old with her mother Regina Gasbarre, her sister Gabriella and brother Frank Gasbarre.  Mario came to Canada while on an Italian Military Air Force Training mission when he was 18 and ended up living in Windsor, Canada.  Later that year Mario met Flora at a wedding reception in Rochester.  Being that they were coincidentally from the same hometown they spoke for hours and fell instantly in love.  Mario & Flora were married one year later and had two sons Anthony and Danny Daniele.  

    Mario & Flora opened their first pizzeria "Mario's"  in Detroit, MI where they spent four years working before moving to Rochester, NY.  In Rochester they opened the "Carriage Stop Restaurant" in Henrietta.  Shortly after, they opened another pizzeria called "Mario's Pizzeria" on Monroe Avenue in Pittsford where they saved enough money to open the legendary "Mario's Pizza & Pasta" on East Avenue in Rochester.  After 16 successful years on East Avenue saving money, Mario went on to purchase land and construct his dream restaurant featuring his very own hometown classic cuisine and service of Abruzzi, Italy.  In July of 1995 "Mario's Via Abruzzi"  opened for business (www.Marioit.com) serving Rochester's finest authentic Italian cuisine, where Mario himself will now tell you... "At Mario's you're not just a customer, you are my special guest."  Five years later Mario, along with his two sons Anthony & Danny, created a casual restaurant concept called "Bazil - A Casual Italian Kitchen".  Bazil opened for business in March of 2002 and has since become another successful and popular restaurant in Rochester.  A second Bazil location was constructed and opened on September of 2004 in Penfield along with a new 186 slip marina facility (www.SouthpointMarina.com) with boat access to the restaurant.  In 2006 a new condominium project was begun by the Daniele Family in Delray Beach Florida called The Royal Atlantic (www.RoyalAtlanticCondos.com).  The condominium complex should be complete by early 2007.   In 2010, the Daniele family opened their newest concept, a casual Cape Cod/New England style seafood restaurant call the Crab Shack.  (www.CrabShackRochester.com) 

    The Daniele Family thanks everyone who has ever dined in or been employed in their restaurants for their continued support, for without you all, there would be little success at all.  Now you can also find the Mario's Italian Pasta Sauces at your local grocery store.  Thank you, and Buon Apetito!
