    Appetizers were very good and delivered in a timely manner. The main course was another story, as the resturant was not very busy and teh service was very slow. They wer out of several of our wine choices, which was frustrating.

    Great food and service, unfortunately the noise level was extremely high and we couldn't carry a normal conversation, had to practically scream to hear one another.

    Went here several weeks ago and it was excellent. Went back last night and had mediocre meal. The Ahi Crudo appetizer was overly spicy without great flavor and some of the tuna pieces were tough and stringy. My wife's chicken marsala was good, but my risotto was gummy, overly dense and some of the beef pieces were gristly. It's a nice place, though, and drinks were good, so will probably give it another try at some point.

    I was disappointed. I’m Italian and can cook fairly well and after our experience I would not recommend Rocco’s. Sub par food with a very noisy small space to eat. No parking and nothing special. Sonny’s restaurant is a better choice if you are looking for reasonable prices and good Italian eats.

    Rocco’s is our special occasion choice and my birthday dinner was great. We were greeted and seated, enjoyed our cocktails and dinner. Zach was very attentive and all the staff have a smile on their faces, even though they an absent staffer. Thanks for a fun night!
