We had a wonderful experience at Rocca! The depths of flavor in every dish was phenomenal and the service was impressive. The entire experience completely exceeded our expectations. That basil custard was one of the best desserts I have ever had.

Rocca is the kind of dinner you keep thinking about long after the last bite. We started with golden focaccia and butter. The kind of bread that makes you reach for another piece before you’ve finished the first. Then came the mozzarella and tomatoes with fresh basil: creamy, juicy, and perfect for scooping onto that bread. The pasta was a reason to come back all on its own. Beautiful strands coated in sauce, with every twirl making you want to slow down and savor it… while immediately wanting another forkful. And the steak! That gorgeous seared crust, the rosy center, and all those juices on the platter made it almost impossible to stop reaching for one more slice. Of course, we still found room for dessert, because a meal like this deserves a sweet ending. We ordered a spread, and somehow I’m looking at these pictures already craving it all again. Go hungry, bring someone who loves to share, and give yourself time to enjoy every bite. Rocca is worth lingering over.
Me and my husband went to dinner at Rocca for our 1st wedding anniversary and the restaurant, food, and service were completely phenomenal. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and kind. The ambience with the decor and lighting we loved. The food was 10/10 phenomenal. We'd definitely recommend and return! Best pasta I've ever had in my life. I definitely want to try the mozzarella cart next time!
Rocca is one of my favorite restaurants ever and always such a wonderful dining experience! It is Michellin level food and service but also not stuffy or too overpriced. My wife and I have been here a dozen times now and brought so many of our friends and family and referred many others who all love the place as well. The highlights are without a doubt the tableside Mozarella which is incredible every single time as well as the spicy pasta and ravioli pasta and the chocolate dessert. If you want to do something extra special then you have to try the Rohan duck which only has limited availability so order in advance before it sells out. This place is just wonderful and highly recommended. My wife and I and friends and family have loved it every single time.
An EASY 10/10 all day, every day, every time I have dined here. From start to finish, excellent. Taylor was exceptional, he made amazing recommendations tailored to my taste. He was knowledgeable on every item on the menu and the exact taste profile of each. Very attentive. One of the best servers I have encountered. The food is amazing, can’t go wrong regardless of what you order. It’s all delicious. Will always come back
