Had a wonderful dinner here last night! There were 11 of us! Fresh hot bread, great wine and cocktails! Someone had a beautiful artichoke appetizer. Entrees were varied from veal, seafood and pastas! Excellent lemoncello cake & Tarimisu! Great service! Thank you, La Rocca!

Today I went to La Rocca restaurant, the service was very good and the girl was very nice. The prices for the items I ordered chicken marsala. The chicken was a flip flop and not much spaghetti. I don't recommend it and it's not a very favorite to go back to.
Excellent food and service! !!
Portions are very small. One bathroom for both genders, gross. Out of toilet paper. Employees had zero personality. Do not recommend.

My husband and I have made several trips here over the past few years and it is always delicious. I can't understand why people complain about anything here. If you want an Olive Garden experience (cheap and cuddly) go to Olive Garden. If you want to enjoy your company with some delicious made to order TRUE italian food, this is your spot.

Came on a weekend night around 7:20. Place wasn't busy. There was a couple tables with the exception of an 11 top. Took the server about 10 minutes to get to the table. Went to order a beer. They were out. So ordered a mixed drink. ($13.00) for a well amaretto (ouch). The server took our order. I ordered a to go dish and asked to have it put in with our meals as we didn't care if it came early. Food took about 45 minutes after ordering. Which we understood as the 11 top ordered before us. The server even stopped to let us know. Food came. It was good. Went to get another drink and they were out of another beer. So ordered an import instead of domestic. Server came back and we asked for check. Check came and server told us about the service charge (18%). We paid around 8:30. Timing was not bad at all. I felt this is a reasonable time. The server told us pizza should be out any minute. We kind of expected it to come with our meals or right as the check came. Nope had to wait another 25 minutes. I'm going to assume because they had to make it. I feel if we are being charged a service fee then please offer decent service. I asked for the take out when we ordered our food because i seen service was a little slower. May return, hopefully on a better night for the service.

We have been to LaRocca at least 20 times over the past 3 years. I have never once had anything but a delicious meal. I love the restaurant. I don’t go to a restaurant to be entertained, to be dazzled by the ambiance or amazed by the service. We go for great food, and Nicole and Chris deliver that every single time. Want a fantastic meal in a nice restaurant with friends or family? Go to LaRocca. My go-to is the Penne Chicken LaRocca!

My wife and brother went there for dinner first time . Food was good , gave you a salad with meal . Great wine prices for a glass or bottle . Service was slower , though we were not in a rush . Two different waiters , no real issue . Restaurant was not real busy on Saturday . Decor was Italian casual restaurant. Had a gentlemen playing guitar great ambiance .Prices I saw for food were excellent. Saw recent reviews that overpriced I disagree .Great location , parkingOwner does respond to reviews which is excellent . If he / she wants feedback they can call me

Food here is delicious and authentic. The owners take special pride in their work. Try the ravioli or the picatta!

Wouldn’t go there again and here is why. Food overpriced, ordered eggplant parm that was so tough (a first for me) that when someone finally came to check on us I had to ask for a steak knife to be able to cut it.In all fairness my husband ordered shrimp scampi which he said was good.A 10 dollar charge for cheap jug wine is way over the top. Waitress came by after we were done with our meal and asked if we had ordered yet. She was the one who originally placed our order.Reading reviews on this restaurant it seems the owners cannot handle any criticism unless it’s favorable.There is no need for them to reply with their smarmy comments because I won’t be back here to read them.Do Better!
