WARNING: This place is horrible. It used to be very good. My wife and I have been coming here for years. It has become a second rate restaurant with high prices. The food and service are horrendous. It took over an hour to get our salads. It took over an hour and a half to get our entrees. When we complained to the owner (Rocco), he made up all kinds of excuses instead of taking ownership of the problems. He actually tried to blame us for sending back the entrees when they came out before the salads. Don’t waste your time and money on this RAT HOLE!!!

This restaurant is very close to my home and I decided to try it out for the first time during magical dining. As a hospitality professional and restaurant manager, maybe I am being too picky…but here is how I experienced this restaurant.

We had my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner at Rocco’s and it was just amazing. We looked at a lot of different places before deciding on Rocco’s. We mainly decided on Rocco’s because of the flexibility and the menu. Rocco was so easy to work with and his team of servers on the day of the dinner did just an amazing job. The food was delicious and all came out at the same time for 43 people and there were 4 courses. We had so many guests comment that they had a great time and enjoyed the food! Very happy we chose Rocco’s and would definitely recommend them!

Rocco’s is a favorite of ours for anything celebratory. We’ve come here for multiple birthdays, and other special occasions. We love bringing friends here as well, and they always leave with a new favorite Italian restaurant! The food is top-notch and authentic Italian. Rocco himself visits your table, and if you happen to be from Italy as well, will speak to you in the heart language. The staff is always wonderful and attentive.

This was our second time going to this restaurant a week ago on July 8th, the first time was good some time ago. This time my husband took me for my birthday thinking it was a good choice based on our first experience, but it was the opposite, first of all we ordered two glasses of wine, and mine had a bug in it, secondly, we both order the same dish linguine frutti di mare, and the pasta was not linguine it was regular spaghettis, and the pasta was hard like under cooked, so my husband refused to eat it and returned it, our server offered him the option to order something else but he was already disappointed at that point so he declined the option. Few minutes later the chef came to our table and said that that was the way they cooked the pasta and offered him another option, oh and that they didn’t have linguine, again my husband declined the offered. I ate half of my food, and also ordered a dessert with coffee which it was good. We think the server which it was an older guy didn’t like everything that went on, instead of offering us if we wanted something else, or if we wanted the bill after the dessert, he brought the bill to our table without us asking for it, we took it as he was kicking us out, it was rude coming from a place that supposed to be a good restaurant. Overall it was a bad experience, he took me there as a surprise hoping it was going to be the best choice for my birthday, and end up being the worse option. We saw another couple in another table returning a glass of water because there was also a bug in the water…We will never go back to that place.

I celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday last night at Rocco’s with 10 of our friends and it was an absolutely incredible experience. We agree that this is a hidden gem in Orlando and it truly is perplexing how it isn’t more popular – Because it honestly is hands down THE BEST Italian food I’ve had in the area (I’ve been to Italy and it even compares to the food I’ve had in Rome & the Amalfi coast!) Not only is the food to die for but the service is top notch. Nelson was our server and was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Our wine and water glasses were never empty and impressively, all 12 of our meals came out at the same time. I have zero criticism about Rocco’s and I can’t wait to return for my next visit!

This review is late, but we had a 100th birthday party for my father in the private room. Everything was fabulous from the service to the singer coming into the room to serenade my father. This was in July 2022 and I am just getting around to entering this. i would recommend for any private occassion as the room is totally separate or for just regular dining.

I had a great experience at this restaurant with 9 of my friends for my birthday celebration. We all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and ended the night with a bit of dancing. Thanks for helping to make my birthday one to remember

We were looking for a place to eat and saw Rocco’s. We dined at Flemings and Ruth’s Chris this week and wanted pasta. I was kind of hesitant but had a tremendous experience.

We were seated by the chef and it was a great experience live music and the nice atmosphere. We ordered magical dining. Only complaint: the appetizers were super tiny and so was the dessert but the main dish was great. The lamb was overcooked so the chef immediately recooked it for us. We had so much fun and this night was a blast.
