About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Romantic
Lively

The North End's hidden gem. Enjoy Authentic Italian food, pizza, burgers and steak tips grilled to perfection in a cozy friendly atmosphere on the waterfront. Watch your favorite teams playing as you have dinner and cocktails . A short walk from TD Garden.

While in town, my husband and I wanted to find a neighborhood pizza parlor where we could enjoy a light dinner near the event. We wandered through the North End & only found high end white table cloth restaurants when we found our first pizza option near the corner of Hanover/Commercial Sts, there was a 1 hr wait to sit. Thank goodness we walked a little further and went to Rocco's. What a great cozy neighborhood place. We were immediately made to feel welcome and were treated to an expertly prepared pizza, fresh bread with olives and olive oil and decent affordable Merlot. Wait staff was quick, attentive and pleasant. We would definitely return & will share this info with others going to events at the garden.

Great place, all of the food tasted so fresh and came out very fast. We had a res at 6pm and were seated right away at 5:51. Big portions of bruschetta and pasta. Lots of TVs to watch any game going on. Out of the way of most of the North End chaos. I would absolutely go back even just on my own.

Good food. Excellent pounded this veal parm. Yummy clams and pasta. Service perfect. A great team of nice people. The place is comfortable and intimate but also a classy feel with lots of energy. The ambiance somehow manages to be a delightful mix of local bar and nicer restaurant. I love it there. If sports are on the multiple TVs it can be a but loud but not too bad.

Absolutely awesome time at Rocco’s! Second time here and my favorite place to go in the North End. Service was excellent, everyone is always so nice. Michelle is awesome, think I had her last time too, but she is so nice and made our experience great! The bartender with the black curly hair was super nice too (didn’t catch her name) Definitely will celebrate my birthday here again. The rigatoni alla vodka was out of this world — my new favorite! Thank you for such a special birthday celebration!
