The Spicerella Story
How a 3 AM craving is turning into Rochester's first plastic-free, overnight restaurant - opening October 5, 2025
It Started with a Question
Picture this: It's 3 AM on a Tuesday. You're hungry - not for greasy fast food or another frozen meal, but for something real. Something that tastes like home but doesn't wreck your tomorrow. Something delivered in packaging that doesn't make you feel guilty about the planet.
That was our founder's dilemma, night after night. Working late shifts, studying for exams, or simply being a night owl shouldn't mean compromising on food quality or values.
So we asked: Why can't late-night food be different? Why can't it be better?

Every decision starts with two questions: Is it healthier? Is it more sustainable?
Quality Obsessed

The Revolution Continues
Soon, Spicerella won't just be a restaurant - it'll be a movement. Starting October 5, 2025, every night from 9 PM to 6 AM, we'll prove that late-night dining can respect your body and the planet.
Our plastic-free kitchen, with its gleaming stainless steel and seasoned cast iron, will produce flavors that rival any traditional kitchen. Our packaging from Notpla and Sofi will show that sustainability doesn't mean compromise.
But most importantly, we're building a community of Night Owls who believe there's a hunger for something better. For food that will fuel your late nights without the guilt. For a restaurant that shares your values.
