Had reservation for dinner this evening @5:45 pm, walked in and place was not busy but was walked over to very small table for 2 in back of restaurant against a wall. We mentioned we had reservations and wanted a nicer table but was told by owner they were busy and other tables were for larger parties but we could have nicer table if we ate and were out the door in 1 hour. Food was excellent, our waiter was, too, but we were looking for dining experience over several hours not a hurry up, eat and be out door. Owner appears to only be concerned about turning tables over, not offering a leisurely dining experience. You felt this too as appetizer, salad, and entree can out with no time to even consume one without another arriving. If we wanted fast food experience we could have stayed in our car and drove through a fast food place. Although food was good, sorry but there are many other better Italian restaurants that offer a fine dining experience. I won't be coming back to Rocca.Fast food dining experience ?Leisurely dining experience ?

Rocca delivered the perfect romantic dinner for two in a half-round booth. From the divine Gnocchi with Pesto Cream to the generous Ravioli Bolognese, every bite was a delight. And let's not forget the indulgent Chocolate Mousse for dessert. Impeccable service, a cocktail menu to suit both our tastes, and an atmosphere that set the scene for a memorable evening.

Everything was great! But noise levels were too loud for us. I think tables too close and some people near by were very loud while talking. Granted it was Valentine's Day but it did kinda ruin the experience for us. But again, food, service, and ambience were excellent!

The restaurant was a great find. It was absolutely AMAZING from the time we entered the restaurant to the time we left. This place is a 10!!!!! We had a reservation (I recommend), seated promptly, our Waiter (Mark) was very prompt with everything. Mark recommended we start off with the Crab Cake which were fabulous. We split a Caesar Salad, main course, I ordered the Linguine Fra' Diavola which was the BEST Linguine and Clams in White wine that I have ever tasted. My husband had the Pollo Piccata served with nicely roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables in which he said the Chicken Breast was cooked to perfection. He loved his meal. Dessert was Bread Pudding Maple brandy sauce with a creme anglaise. Let's just say we ate all of it. Can't wait to go back. The staff was amazing from start to finish.

Beef carpaccio appetizer was delicious and a generous portion for 2. The fillet of sole special was well prepared but the side dishes - rice and steamed veggies - were just average. NY cheesecake was a huge slice and delicious but it needed more accompaniment, like more berry sauce or fresh berries. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated.

It was our anniversary celebration. The dinner and service was superb. Love this place. It is busy and bustling though, just so you know. Also, has a hopping, energetic bar. We sat upstairs. We recommend that.

Another lovely dinner at Rocca. Service is excellent and the menu choices never disappoint. The restaurant was full, but the noise level was low ~ even with Dean Martin singing softly in the background. Va Bene!

I have been going to Rocca for many years and I always have a very nice experience. Last night (Wednesday evening) I went but service and food was not the same. It was a party of two. I received my food first and it took a few minutes for my son to get his pasta entre and we had to asked for parmesan cheese. I didn't enjoy my salad as the lettuce did not seemed/tasted fresh and service was unusually slow. Maybe they were short on staff. Will definitely go again and hope to experience the same great service and food I have on previous visits. Thank you.

Enjoyed a delicious NYE dinner with family & friends. A cozy eatery with warm, familial ambiance. My zesty gnocchi with tomato sauce and side beet salad, paired with a delicious pinot noir, were so satisfying. Everyone enjoyed their meal & appreciated the warm, friendly service.
