The new list for the AAA Western and Central New York was released Thursday, Feb. 14. The Kitchen was the only one in the Rochester area.

Led by Executive Chef Joseph Cipolla, The Kitchen opened in December 2014 and earned the Four Diamonds rating for the first time in 2017, placing it on the Triple A list the following year.

Last month AAA Western and Central New York also released its list of Four Diamond hotels. No new arrivals were on the list, but they included the 1795 Acorn Inn in Bristol, and Geneva-On-The-Lake, both in Ontario County, and The Del Monte Lodge, a Renaissance Hotel & Spa,  in Pittsford.

A private reception honoring the restaurants and hotels on the Four Diamonds list will be held in April. To qualify for the list, establishments undergo an annual inspection by experts in the hospitality industry.
