Rocca

Rocca
4.7 / 5 (13 reviews)

Description

Rocca offers a charming Italian dining experience highlighted by exceptional service and a vibrant atmosphere—ideal for date nights and social gatherings. The standout mozzarella cart, hand-stretched tableside with fresh tomatoes and olive oil, delights guests, while pasta dishes and desserts, though limited, impress with flavor and presentation. Some dishes tend to be overly lemony, and a few pasta options lack sauce, but the duck and cheesecake receive high praise. Reservations are strongly recommended due to popularity. With a vast wine list and attentive staff, Rocca delivers great value and a memorable culinary outing.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a pleasant ambiance, alongside a sense of familiarity while observing the other diners. The service was outstanding, and our waiter was well-informed about all the dishes I inquired about! The food was absolutely delicious; I highly recommend ordering the mozzarella cart and sampling some of their seasonal drinks if you're in the mood. Overall, the experience was so enjoyable that I find myself eager to return, even though the prices are somewhat high. Don't let that deter you—give it a try yourself!

This was a fabulous experience. We had Dwain, and he was the most excellent server I?ve seen in a while. He really enlightens the entire experience with best recommendations. He?s just so friendly, and made us feel like we were the most welcomed people at the restaurant. He listened to us to see what would be best for first diners like us, and even knew what we needed when we forgot to order bread. He even suggested we save mozzarella for our dinner meal, so we can enjoy

We are fortunate enough to live right near Rocca and we have been patrons since day 1. When they re opened after the initial COVID 19 chaos, they were doing to go orders and they went above and beyond. For the local residents, this was truly enjoyableduring a time where none of us knew what was going on from day to day. We have been back a few times since the officialre opening and one of those visits was last Wednesday evening. It was amazing and we are excited for their expansion in thefuture. It has been quite tough to get a reservation there even as neighbors. You can walk in and sit a the bar but I ampetite so I am not a fan of high top situations. If you see availability for a reservation, be sure to grab it right away. This is a wonderful restaurant!

This dining experience was phenomenal! Our server was attentive and personable. I've never had Italian food this exquisite. Some of the plates look small, but we were getting full half way through the entrees. We had a decent amount of food for a littleover $50 per person. Great price for the culinary experience we had last night. We'll definitely be going back. If you'resensitive to sound, the music is loud in parts of the restaurant.

I checked out Rocca for the first time. I've been to more Italian restaurants then I count, but there's nothing like Rocca. Everything I had was delicious. The highlight of the night was the cheese cart. They come to the table and hand stretch themozzarella, slice fresh tomatoes, and drizzle everything with olive oil. I tried the ravioli which was phenomenal. The winemenu was a book and they offer any wines by the glass. Rocca is definitely a great place to take a date. Also, you shouldreally make reservations in advance as it's across the street from Armature Works.
