Great low-key place to grab some pizza/beers after an Indians game

Great service and good food before a Cavs game! Burger was fresh and better than the picture ! Peroni on draft !!

I heard about AJ Rocco’s from a good friend and they finally gave me the tour! We stopped in for a quick bite before a concert and the food WOW’d me! Our server gave us some great recommendations for food! We started with pizzas and they were great! Nice and thin, and fresh and hot! The wings and fries came up next and the wings were to DIE for! That sauce and how they were cooked were perfection. If and when you stop by, get the WINGS!! Our drinks were brought out quickly and overall, I really enjoyed my experience! The building is EXTREMELY beautiful inside and out! Knowing there’s an AirBnB above and a place to rent out space up top keeps this place in mind for bigger gatherings in downtown! Excellent experience with AJ Rocco’s!!

I can't say that I was impressed enough to come back. While the staff was friendly and we came in at a time that started off not too busy, we waited way too long for everything. Food came out cold, sent back the pizza. The cheese was coagulated because it had been sitting out waiting to be delivered far too long. The chicken pita app was super disappointing - yes, plenty of chicken, but barely a dollop of hummus, let alone enough to use for each pita provided to make a decent bite. The prices weren't overly out of control, but the food definitely didn't live up to the cost. Assuredly understaffed especially on a busy weekend. I can't imagine being there right about when we left as they became overwhelmed with fans leaving March Madness. Poor suckers were in for a very disappointing experience. Not a good impression for out of towners. Whatever, nobody takes pride in their work anymore so not surprised it was lackluster.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner in the upstairs space and it was exactly what we wanted! The service and food were so good (friends and family raved about the wings and mini sliders). The bartender had the best personality and Brendan the owner was so kind throughout the planning process.

We had a mixer at AJ Rocco’s. Food was excellent. Service was immaculate and most importantly they made our group of 30 feel comfortable and welcome. We’ll be back.

OMG, I just inhaled my take-out order. It was small but mighty. It was sooo good. I ordered the special which was a portobello mushroom sandwhich. For this new vegetarian, the flavor was amazing. And the fresh cut French fries were awesome too. It’s easy to pass by this spot on the street but don’t.

Absolutely amazing! Love my guy Joey!

Awesome experience. We rented out the entire restaurant for a boys travel team dinner. Absolutely fantastic. Boys loved the food. Parents enjoyed the two bars - top floor and bottom. They have a great set-up and the food was excellent. I'll keep it on my list of good experiences for the future.

AJ Rocco’s is a nice little place to have a nice pub meal and a drink. It’s just a short walk from Progressive Field and on game nights it’s not packed like all the other places. We were greeted warmly at the door before we even walked in. They have a full stocked bar, comfy chairs and tvs for you to watch sports. Further in there’s a whole seating area with nice large booths.
We tried their wings that Joe our friendly waiter recommended. They had a dry rub & also traditional. They were served piping hot and were delicious! We also ordered their traditional burgers with cheddar. These were fresh hand packed made in house and not frozen or commercial! The bun tasted like it was from a local bakery and it complimented nicely. Fries are also made from fresh potatoes in house. All the food was delicious and served fast!
If you want a place where you can have good food, relax, hear conversations at your table, watch sports (or not), served quickly by friendly people and thanked warmly for coming in by the owner- then this is the perfect place! Thanks a bunch back at you AJ Rocco for a fun night and delicious food at your place!
Went as part of a group of 4 on a recent quiet Saturday (no Cavs or Guards game), so easy to get a table. The group shared a loaded fries app (good size, quickly devoured). Amongst the group we tried dry rub wings, a side salad, a Greek salad, a Corned Beef sandwich, and the 828 Burger. All loved their choices- hats off to the chef!

Nice little bar and grill

The friendliest spot downtown! Cold beers, tasty pub fare, even brunch. Brendan and his staff have great energy, obviously putting their heart into it. Can’t wait to return when I’m in next in town.
