Pizza was good
Wings, not so much
A really good spot for Italian cuisine. The service was great, the food was really good and the ambiance was fine. I would even drive 20 miles just for their pizzas. Pasta and entrees were good too but pizza is definitely one of my top 5 in Buffalo!
The food was very good. My husband had a pork pasta dish, I ordered manicotti, and our adult had an awesome chicken sandwich with fries. We were a bit surprised that a serving of bread is not standard with any pasta dish; it's available as a side you can order. ???? I'm a daughter of Italian immigrants, and bread is served at every meal!
The prices were as expected in our current economy.
The service was excellent, and I would give our server a 5, but I had rated lower, on the behalf of the attitude of our hostess (older woman; looked like she had been working there for a while).
We (3 of us) did not have a reservation. It was Saturday at 4:30. She paused, appeared disturbed, and then responded with 'oh, I have ONE table available.' There were AT LEAST 15-20 empty tables!! We were there for approximately 50/55 minutes, and just two of those tables were becoming occupied during our last 10 minutes there! I felt that was SO RUDE of her. I certainly did NOT feel welcome!
We've been welcomed here before, but I'm not sure we'll be back there soon. I just felt so awkward with her. She needs to be retrained!
the outside definitely does not do this location justice!! when entering we were greeted kindly by a gentleman at the front. The bar staff was extremely kind. The service I'd say was one of the best I've received at a restaurant. My party of 6 had ordered a few pizzas, Wings, Steak, and Pasta.
The food was so delicious that we ended up sharing all our food and having everyone taste each others dishes!
I highly suggest this location if you need a foodie location. you will not be disappointed!! We will for sure be coming back for dinner again!

Food was amazing! Got chicken parm and steak sandwich and both were 12/10
What really made this experience a 12/10 was the bartender Joe. Not only is he knowledgeable about drinks and the menu but also a pleasant conversation! If Joes there you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time!

Great place. We came from out of town, visiting our adult children, no reservation on a Saturday night. They fit us in the rear bar area and we had an enjoyable visit. Staff was great, very accommodating. Food and drinks we great. We will be back.
Dietary restrictions: They made a gluten free pizza for my daughter, she loved it.

Exceptional Wood-Fired Pizza Experience
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rocco's Wood Fired Pizza , and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance of the wood-fired oven and the welcoming staff set the stage for an exceptional meal. The aroma of freshly baked pizza filled the air, building anticipation for what was to come.
The menu offers a fantastic selection of pizzas, each crafted with high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection in their wood-fired oven. I opted for the classic pepperoni and cheese, and it was divine. The crust was thin and crisp with just the right amount of char from the wood fire, giving it that irresistible smoky flavor. The fresh mozzarella melted beautifully over the vibrant tomato sauce, and the basil added a fragrant touch.
What impressed me most was the balance of flavors and the attention to detail. The ingredients were clearly top-notch, and the chefs know how to let each component shine without overpowering the others. I also appreciated the variety of pizzas available—whether you prefer a traditional option or something more adventurous, there's something for everyone.
The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff made us feel right at home. Pairing the meal with a great selection of local beers and wines only added to the experience. Overall, Rocco's Wood Fired Pizza is a must-visit for pizza lovers, offering an authentic and delicious wood-fired pizza experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Terrible! This place looked at us up and down and told us the kitchen was backed up with less than half the restaurant occupied. They weren't seating for 20 min. I would categorize as discriminatory/racist. Just remember, you are also an immigrant and your skin is brown too. Many other places that will take our green money.

Staff was rude/dismissive. Called to place an order 45 min before closing, they said they could take the order, put me on hold for 20 min then when I called back they said that it was too late and wanted to close early.
Pizza was delicious!
