Rocco's RestaurantPerfect Mother's Day....Put it this way....I was planning to do Mother's Day Brunch at Thr Ritz Carltin Laguna Niguel, but because of time and availability I went out on a whim and made a reservation at Rocco's never actually seeing this establishment. It turned out being the perfect Mother's Day Bruch. The service was EXCELLENT and the buffet was very good, and made to order eggs Benedict was the best I had ever had. In addition, it was s smaller eatablishment but very nicely designed. Highly recommend. Definitely fit for foodies!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWONDERFUL!Didn't expect such an extensive menu... Made it difficult to select an entree but well worth the struggle... Empandas were great... Typically don't order chicken while eating out but couldn't resist ordering the stuffed chicken breast special... It was well worth the selection... All food was like eating out of my mom's kitchen!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyable!We had never been here before and we had a great Time! The food and service was great!

The food is made with love and pride and one can feel it, taste it in every bite! Our dinner started off with the complimentary arepas, mini corn cakes if you will, light and tasty and served with a cilantro dipping sauce. Venezuelan empanadas stuffed with tuna ( which is based off a family recipe from Rocco's wife's mother) are perfect appetizer size and full of flavor in a light,crispy pastry. We ordered pasta dishes as our entree, the pasta was served perfectly al dente! Pappardelle alla Vodka and Speghetti Lucia were both delish! Ended the meal with a little coffee and a nice tiramisu and went home happy! Very reasonably priced and friendly.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMVery charming restaurant.Very charming restaurant.

We enjoyed everything about our evening. The service and the food were wonderful. The soup for the evening was broccoli and amazingly had no cream which was great! It's such a small intimate place and we can't wait to go back!4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMHaving the chef owner in theHaving the chef owner in the kitchen, even at lunch time, was a great treat. The food was freshly prepared and served to us immediately. The crab cake was huge and filled with crab, not breadcrumbs. A very small place with only 9 tables. We'll be back!!3/20/2013 12:00:00 AM
