The food was ok, not worth the price. The service was subpar and we never got an opportunity to get more drinks but it was a busy night. The worst part was how LOUD the restaurant was, the kind of volume that makes your ears ring for an hour after you leave. They really need to invest in some sound dampening foam or something for the walls.

Grabbed a bite and a drink at the bar. Quiet and smaller intimate spot. Great service, affordable wine and awesome food. I'll definitely be back.

I had oysters, strip loin with bone marrow, a blood orange martini, and a salted caramel budino with almonds. I was in heaven. Highly recommended. Plus, the atmosphere was so homey.

Very disappointed, I have not been here in years, service, food, not to Par, prices are crazy, the place was packed, I have to ask myself why, I will never go back, I feel bad that I recommended the place for girls night!

This is a real hidden gem in Rochester. A must for all fans of high-quality traditional Italian food. My favorite starter is the charred bread with ricotta. Today I had the pmb ... pasta with meatballs. Rich tomato sauce with fresh leaves of basil, al dente penne and soft, tender meatballs. Really good! Service is attentive but unobtrusive and the food came out quickly.
Superb local Italian place Food is homemade. Friendly service

Hidden gem in a city full of excellent Italian food. Rocco is one of those places you should ABSOLUTELY not miss the sauce is delicious and the experience is always great.
We were really disappointed with our visit. The food didn’t match our expectations in either taste or presentation, especially considering the high price point. The menu lacked clear descriptions, so we were surprised by what we received — and not in a good way.
The garlic bread was burnt and bitter. Almost every dish came overloaded with salad, including the grilled octopus (a very tiny portion) and the white fish, which was unexpectedly deep-fried in mostly batter and tasted off. If we had known that every main came with so much salad, we wouldn’t have ordered a separate salad appetizer.
The pasta was overly salty and lacked flavor. While the service was friendly, the overall dining experience just didn’t justify the price. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

Walked in host looked at us for like 5 mins didn’t say a word …I was like um..we need a table? We seemed unwelcome. There was plenty of seating available. He didn’t even respond so we just sat at the bar table then a rude lady server came up to me asking me do you have a reservation? I was like no we just dropped in do we need one? She was like no it’s not necessary. So then I said fine can you get me a menu? Bartender was nice at least. I ate a $24 dollar fish plate that came with wierd salad that was a bit disappointing in the quality and the fried fish was 80 % batter we also ordered Spaghetti and Peppers looked like a child’s plate when it came to the portion. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Food is amazing. Sometimes the servers dont appear to want to be there. But the meal is always top notch. The Lombo Rocco is amazing!
Great service, awesome food!
