Reviews - Rocco's
Reviews summary
Rocco's has long been a staple in the NOVA dining scene, celebrated for its generous portions and authentic Italian cuisine. While many patrons rave about the mouthwatering pasta dishes and stellar service, recent visits reveal a more mixed bag regarding the pizza. Complaints of bland crusts and undercooked dough have surfaced, disappointing some long-time fans. Despite inconsistent experiences, the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere remain highlights for newcomers. Overall, while Rocco's continues to uphold its reputation for quality, potential diners may want to tread carefully when ordering pizza, as tastes may vary significantly.

Can say enough good's things about this place! Absolutely fabulous doesn't even do it. The best pizza ever, better than NYC pizza, onion rings that were perfection. This is my first time here. It's going to be a regular. Awesome old-timey 50's atmosphere, decor and music. Just adore this place. Try it! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

Always an awesome time at Rocco?s! My very first serving job! We miss you ?? was really lucky to see the owners xox see you soon! Hang in there! Go try this old town McLean staple today.
The service was good but unfortunately the pizza was not great. I felt like the toppings and sauce were good but the crust was nearly flavorless. It was bland to the point that it really detracted from the pizza. I will not be ordering pizza from them again..
It's nice place with a great welcome. The service was ok, somehow I got a gluten free pizza that I did not order. The Large pizza was good enough for four people. Honestly, for the price I was expecting a better taste of the pizza, but I guess because I got the gluten free. The green bell pepper were not cooked completely.
? The place will take you back in time as the restaurant has the old feel, I don 't think that it has been updated , that 's not a bad thing if you like that. ????Service was very good. ?I liked the food. The white pizza was very good. ?The chicken marsala was good too but it was bland. ? Cleanliness level was good. ?? Parking available. Outside and inside seating area. ?I would definitely go back to try other dishes.
An absolutely amazingly delicious meal at Rocco's Italian! Everything tastes just right and typically I surprisingly have room for dessert which is also delicious and a must have at every visit. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable as well which makes your dinning experience even better!

I've been dining at Rocco's for over 30 years because their food is exceptional! Every time I return to the NOVA area, it's a must-visit for a meal. The pasta dishes, especially the baked ziti, are delicious. The subs make for a great lunch—my favorite is the meatball and cheese—and sharing a pizza with friends is always a wonderful choice. The service is excellent, and the portions are very generous. This restaurant has proven its longevity, with the same family still at the helm, doing a fantastic job.
Best you can eat. Period. Tried everything, took a while lol, and have yet to have better anything anywhere. Well... The Chicago pizzas best outside of Chicago. But we chi town boys grow up spoiled.
The best gourmet Pizza and Subs around in my opinion.
Never a bad experience. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Food is great.
Best Deep-Dish in the DC area. Staff is always great, and the tiramisu (if you possibly have room for it) is fantastic.

I've been dining at Rocco's for 30 years because the food is simply amazing! Whenever I'm back in the NOVA area, it's essential for me to have a meal there. The pasta dishes, especially the baked ziti, are delicious, the subs are perfect for lunch (I'm a big fan of the meatballs), and sharing a pizza with friends is always a fantastic choice. The service is excellent, and the portions are generous. This restaurant has stood the test of time, and the same family continues to run things beautifully.
The best you can eat. I've tried everything to sleep for a long time and have everything somewhere even better. now. the chicago pizzas best outside of chicago, but we Chi-City boys grow pampered up.
