Rocco's Fine Foods & Catering

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem in Alliston! My husband and I recently moved to Alliston and were eager to try Rocco’s after hearing great things about their veal parm sandwich. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that this wasn’t just a restaurant—it was someone honoring their family history and love of cooking for others. We met Rose, the heart and soul of Rocco’s, who told us she needed to deliver a catering order herself because a driver hadn’t shown up. She asked us to come back in 20 minutes, so we walked around the block. When we returned, we were welcomed inside by a friendly couple who were friends of Rose while we awaited her return. As we chatted about Alliston’s seasonal events—like the potato festival parade and the tree bonfire—it felt like we were already part of the community. When Rose returned, she couldn’t believe we had come back! She greeted us with a warm hug and shared her excitement about welcoming us to the neighborhood. Despite her long day, she was full of energy and kindness. Rose shared stories about her family, the history of the restaurant, and her passion for cooking. She even introduced us to her three gentle giant dogs, who added to the cozy atmosphere. Before we could decide what to order, Rose ran into the kitchen and whipped up a delicious appetizer of pasta and garlic bread for us—just because she wanted to. When we finally mentioned we’d heard about the veal parm sandwich (which wasn’t even on the menu!), she lit up. Rose suggested trying both the veal and chicken, and we chose cheese and sweet peppers toppings. The sandwiches were incredible. The veal was tender and flavourful, the chicken juicy, the cheese thick and gooey, and the sauce and peppers tied everything together perfectly. But what truly set this experience apart was Rose’s generosity and passion. Payment was never discussed, and Rose simply wanted to share her love of food and her story with us. We left Rocco’s back into the cold but were warmed by Rose and her friend’s hospitality as well as our hot sandwiches. If you’re in Alliston, you must visit Rocco’s—not just for the incredible food, but for the unforgettable experience Rose creates. Thank you, Rose, for welcoming us so warmly to the neighborhood!

These 2 old ladies are charging so much for food. I paid them extra money as a tip purposely. They scam you into buying things. I walked in one day just to check the menu. They handed me a small cup of coffee without asking me and asked me to pay for it. Sometimes the open sign says open when the door is actually locked.

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff, and some of the best Italian food I've ever had, all at a price point below most major chains. I cannot recommend it enough!

Absolutely incredible food is here. Such a hidden gem. If you haven't eaten here yet you are missing out. I honestly wish I found this place sooner. The owners are so authentic and have great personalities.

The menu is amazing and gives you a truly home cooked meal feeling. The pasta is unbelievably fantastic and the sandwiches are packed full of ingredients.
