Rocco's Plum Tomato - The Original

Veal is amazing!!

Superb quality food and flavours......at great prices. Wide selection on menu from pasta and pizzas to chicken, veal, seafood and more. Their bruschetta is to die for and the salads are fresh and flavourful. They start you off with some bread and olives, which in almost every other place you have to pay for. There is incredible consistency in the quality, portion and taste...kudos to the all the Chefs for this! I was even brave enough to take my hotel VPs there for dinner, and they all loved it! Friendly, knowledgeable service. And keep it a secret, but there's a delightful patio out back to dine on.

Duck was burnt. Music was loud 100dB. Not worth going!

Great sandwich

I love their sandwiches

Two of us had a great meal and a nice time

It's one of my favorite places but they need to correct their hours :( I've been there twice because I saw that they close at 11 and it's closed

Great place lived the food

We hadn't been here in a long time, about 10 years at least. Nothing has changed, and that's a good thing.

The place was clean and the service was decent.

The food is just as amazing as it was years ago, and the price is very reasonable, especially if you have a big family, this place is great!

We left there stuffed, and completely satisfied. Their pizza was amazing, the pasta and pasta sauce is authentic and homemade, and the chicken and eggplant parmesan are amazing!

HIGHLY RECCOMEND

Had not been here for years. Appetizers more than abundance. Gnocchi with rose sauce did not disappoint. The veal marsala, however, was not hot enough. But was so full by then, took it home to eat the next day. Delicious 😋 Was very reasonably priced, including wine. No tax!

I had ordered 3 items to go. Veal parmesan sandwich, chicken penne, potato gnocchi. The sandwich was decent, I had to repair the chicken penne. I had to throw out the potato gnocchi had an oil smell that made it unedible

I absolutely loved coming to the Islington location before it closed. Loved the food, atmosphere and everything. Yesterday we went for the first time to this location and I’m sad to say we were disappointed. Party of 4, 3 of 4 meals were disappointing. The lamb was over cooked, the linguini seafood pasta was over done spaghetti, but the seafood part was okay. The fusilli salmon pasta was served in a large soup bowl with way too much liquid. On a positive side, the ceaser salad and calamari were delicious. On the atmosphere side, the restaurant was cold , temperature wise and the staff really didn’t make up for it on the service side of things. I hate to say this, but I don’t think I’m going to be back anytime soon.

Took my dad here for his birthday and it was incredible. We ordered the affetato antipasta to start. For the price is was a very generous portion and everything in it was so delicious. My dad had the special which was a pasta with shrimp and scallops (about 5-6 scallops and nearly 10 large shrimps. I have the mushroom risotto. Both of us had to take more than half home the portions were so large, but we tried our darnedest to finish because it was so so good.

It’s cozy and delicious, we will be coming back!

Have been going here periodically for years. This trip, food was gross. The pasta was rubbery (at an Italian restaurant?!??!). The calamari was gross. Everything else was not good. Service started off great and then they abandoned us. Ended the evening with a cockroach climbing the walls. Something changed here and it's not good
