Ruocco’s Restaurant Boynton

Great Italian food but what made the experience unforgettable was the service given by Gabriella. She was so friendly and had great suggestions, kept us laughing and even told us about the brunch menu. We will come back.

We had a wonderful experience at Ruoccos.
The service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish. The interior design was stunning and the chairs were so comfortable.

We started with an appetizer of mussels and a Caesar salad. For our main courses, we ordered the seafood risotto and the spaghetti with meatballs. The meatballs were absolutely delicious, and the spaghetti was cooked al dente. Everything was full of authentic flavor and beautifully presented.

The highlight of the entire meal, though, was the tiramisu — hands down the best we’ve had! It was light, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic dinner.

This is the first time I am reviewing a restaurant. We waited over 20 minutes to just to get water. The service continued to be bad throughout the night. It seemed there was 1 waitress for way too many tables. My shrimp scampi was so-so. 3 other people in my group were unhappy with their meals. I definitely do not recommend.

Restaurant has very nice decor, and a terrific, friendly staff. The food is delicious, and the menu offers a full range of Italian favorites made with top shelf ingredients. It’s a pleasure to eat there.

I was so excited to have my birthday dinner with 10 friends in what I thought was a New York Italian restaurant. I am so upset at our experience. They are very understaffed (1 waitress for multiple tables.) Service was very slow. We called ahead to ask if we could bring a cake and they said yes, and when we arrived they told us there would be a $3.50 charge per person to serve the cake. 😱 Worst of all, the food was sub-par. Short ribs had a reheated/leftover taste and we sent that back. Orecchiette with broccoli rabe had to be sent back because of a chemical taste (the rabe wasn’t cooked properly or was just bad). The shrimp scampi had an oddly “smoked” taste and pretty flavorless otherwise. All other meals were just “okay” according to my guests.. I asked for olive oil to dip the bread and it was poor quality (not extra virgin). I spoke to the owner about the cake fee and he “made a deal” to only charge us $20 for the cake service. There was an attitude about this place that, for a newly opened restaurant who will need word of mouth recommendations, was not what you would think. Do yourself a favor; save your money and cook a good, fresh Italian meal at home.

This was our first time and we LOVED it!!! True NJ Italian food in Boynton Beach . It is modern and beautiful, the staff are AMAZING, especially our waiter Mike. He made suggestions that were a 10/10. The food came out steaming hot and cooked to perfection. We stuck to the classics- Caesar salad and meatballs to start , chicken parm and eggplant rollatini for the entrees, and the desserts were fantastic- Tiramisu and Chocolate Hazelnut cake. We will definetly be back !!!!

Nice place. Service was nothing to write home about. Asked for an Irish COFFEE, it was so strong I could not drink. The coffee part.
He asked how it was and I explained it was horrible and the coffee was to strong.
He then said, the coffee was low so he used expresso.
Will NOT be going back

Hands down one of the best restaurants in South Florida. In defense to the restaurant, one of one of the other reviewers, if you notice it's the same person with different accounts. If you have that much time in your life to literally switch to multiple accounts just to talk about your experience at a restaurant I believe it's in the restaurants best interest that they don't need a customer like you. To the Ruocco family, keep doing what you're doing. I'm sure you already know due to your many years of success at your New Jersey location that you can't make everyone happy and there's always a sour apple in the bunch. Wishing you many many years of success see you guys soon for an amazing dinner.

This was our first experience at Ruocco's. We sat on the patio (by request), which was very nice, and was designed for privacy. We arrived during Happy Hour and ordered an Old Fashioned and a glass of Pinot Grigio. The cocktail was well made and well portioned. The glass of wine was, at best 4oz, and with HH pricing $9. The website indicates that wine glasses are 6 oz. HH pricing in this area for wine is $6 or less, so that was quite high.
We ordered the Stuffed Rigatoni and Carbonara entrees. The food was good. We frequent several Italian restaurants in Boynton Beach and Delray Beach where the food is superior to our meals last night.
Our server Luigi was very good, pleasant, helpful and available if needed.
Overall a good experience, however we likely will not return, as there are better options for us.
