Absolutely the worst Italian Beef sandwich that I have ever had. It was not worth the 30+ minute wait.

A hidden jewel that has some of the best Italian sandwiches. Service was amazing and worth the trip. Have to try the pasta next time I'm there.

Food took 30 mins from order to serve. Was bland and mushy. Palatable but not impressive for the cost.

I used to recommend this place. During my last visit with friends, the owner started yelling at the woman who worked at the front while I was ordering. I found him to be extremely rude. Despite how good the food is, it would be my last visit.

Horrible service. Dirty restaurant with unprofessional employees just gossiping and not working. They forgot to make my order cause they were too busy complaining about work and how tired they are.

I just wish they knew how to make pasta la vodka. Their version consists of marinara

Enjoyed everything. Great atmosphere outside with heaters going, good food, great service. Live music added to the enjoyment

I'm a s***** for a good Italian deli sandwich. When recently having to switch to a more vegetarian diet, I thought I'd never be happy again. However! Rocco's not only rocks the deli meats but have delicious vegetarian options. The Botanical Gardens is my new fav!! The bread is so fresh and delish, the tapenade is incredibly tasty, but the kicker is the fresh mozzarella. Holy smokes! Chef's kiss! Also, always friendly wonderful staff!

Hidden gem in LB for sure. Meatball sub and Thursday soup (Italian Wedding) are excellent! Short hours (til 3PM), so grab yourself a great lunch...

The large sandwich is very large! Great sandwich and delicious dill pickle. Definitely will be going back for more.
I have eaten here several time and the service has always been okay, no one's overly friendly but the food is always good. I'm not sure what time they open but they do close at 3pm during the week. I arrived at 2pm, all chairs were on the tables and a women was cleaning. It seemed like they were closed, no one said hello, I asked the women cleaning if they were open and she said yes, let me know when you're ready. We ended up ordering a spaghetti and a meatball sandwich for dine-in. I gave her my change, almost $5, as it was obvious that she was ready to go and I knew she'd have to clean our table when we left. Food arrived 30 minutes later in a to-go bag, I was told that the dinning room was closed. By the time we got back to the office the meatball sandwich was soggy. Very disappointed.

Meatball sub was fantastic!

Food was OK, would have given 4 stars, however, they currently have a 10% inflation tax that they didn't warn me about before I placed an order. I'm not upset that they're charging 10% inflation tax, although they're the only place I've ever seen do this, I'm upset that they didn't SAY anything before. Beware.

Fantastic sandwiches and great business. The pickled eggs are arguably better than Joe Jost. Consistently great food. The only down side is the cost of the food.

Awesome eggplant parmigiana chicken parm subs and convenience off the 405 I liked the meatballs as well
