This was our 3rd and 4th time to Johnny Roccos in St Catharines. It is very handy to those staying at the Stone Mill Inn. Each time is a treat. The canzones are huge! Their home made arribiata amd pizza sauces are perfection.

Amazing!!! Had a retirement party for my dad with about 150 people and I could not have asked for better service! All the staff were so kind and helpful and always made sure to check in with me throughout the night. Food was amazing as always! So so grateful for the staff especially Janine for making this night so enjoyable and easy to plan:)
