about us

At Lento, we believe that the quality of your meal is dependent entirely on the quality of the ingredients and the skill with which it’s prepared.

Our meat is procured locally, butchered, smoked, and cured in-house and our produce is sourced seasonally from local farms. We make all our own breads, pastas and desserts in house by hand. We pickle our own vegetables and make our own condiments, sauces, and dressings. Our menu changes often to showcase what is available.
Our kitchen functions without the use of microwaves or steam tables, and our weekly visits to Rochester’s various farmers’ markets ensure that the food you eat is at the peak of freshness.

We reduce food and organic waste using Impact Earth composting. Almost all of our take out containers are compostable.

The price and portion sizes are reflected by the cost of production, by dining with us you are supporting multiple local small businesses and making a difference to the Rochester community.
