About Us
The Lamplighter Restaurant is evolving. Established in 1970 by Nick Castronova, the Lamplighter quickly became a favorite of local Rochester residents as well as out-of-town clientele. Continental cuisine highlighted by Italian specialties make that romantic dinner for two or party for fifty an event you won't soon forget.
In July of 2015 long time employee, Lisa Seifert purchased the restaurant from Castronova, and after some cosmetic changes to bring the decor up to date, while keeping the warm and coziness that everyone has come to love over years, Lisa reintroduced the restaurant as her own.
The Lamplighter is happy to announce Michael Seifert as our new, Executive Chef! Our previous Executive Chef, William (Elliott) Rodwell, has been with the Lamplighter for over 25 years and is now taking a part-time role in the kitchen alongside Michael. Michael started with the Lamplighter in February of 2019. He has over twelve years of culinary experience and was previously the Sous Chef at Branca in Bushnell’s Basin. Michael’s passion for cooking started at a young age while in the kitchen making homemade pasta with his father and grandmother, and also inherited his passion for the restaurant business from his mother He believes in using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible and giving customers the “this is the best I’ve ever had!” experience.
Michael and Elliott make a great team and are committed to maintaining the culinary excellence you’ve come to love and expect from the Lamplighter for almost 50 years. Please join us at the Lamplighter restaurant and try what Michael has cooking!
