This is our second time visiting this restaurant and we loved it just as much…read more We started our meal with the smoked provolone. It was very over the top and indulgent. I went with the casa salad, it had so many toppings including a lot of blue cheese. I feel it would have been enough for my meal. For my pasta, we did the cacio e Pepe, which what they are famous for. They don't do it table side for GF pasta since it would be cross contaminated. For our main my husband and I shared the margarita veal medallions and the sea bass. Both were very good and large servings. For dessert, they gave us a complimentary champagne glasses and a little dessert. We also got the crème brûlée. It had cherries on top and a chocolate ganache at the bottom. Once again, very indulgent. I had a lemon drop martini that was very good during my meal and a glass of wine. They have a very good wine list but not very affordable. Overall, it's a great place for special occasions. They have very good waitstaff and it makes the experience even better.

We've tried different dishes each time, but nothing has really impressed us. Only item I wouldn't get again is anything pesto since I prefer a more creamy sauce, and theirs was more garlic and oil. Everything is fine -- just not remarkable -- and there are more affordable Italian restaurants that offer better overall quality. I wouldn't say the ambiance was intimate as the tables are pretty close together and the overall space is small. Service was standard.

I definitely saw folks drinking wine though. It looks like there's a Fine Wine & Good Spirits a few blocks south. I had takeout grilled (not blackened) chicken Alfredo and even reheated it was probably the best I've had in memory. The balsamic salad was great too. Service was prompt and friendly while I waited. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Although the menu is a little different from what shows up online, there were so many specials that it was still hard to decide what to get. They seem to be willing to make just about anything! Everything we ate was terrific-- from start to finish-- a fantastic meal!! The topper was the Baked Alaska and then some after dinner shooters with the owner who was a terrific host! Zarra's is a great spot for a special occasion meal!

The presentation of our food and drinks were very well done! My favorite items were the lemoncello cheesecake and the sardines. The interior is quite small and intimate. Definitely a great date spot. Our server took great care of us while dining in and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Note- the Spaghetti al Fruitti di Mare has a bit of a kick to it aka spicy. You get 2-4 pieces of each seafood item. You can also take wine bottles to-go.

We got the Cozze (5/5), Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare (4.5/5), and Pappardelle ai Funghi (4.75/5)…read more The free focaccia at the beginning of the meal was really good (4.5/5); the rosemary added a nice flavor, and it wasn't too oily! The mussels/Cozze were amazing. They were so soft and almost melted in your mouth; these were definitely some of, if not, the best mussels I've had! The frutti di mare had a lot of excellently cooked seafood. The spaghetti was good, but I wish there was more of it; it felt a little light for the amount of seafood. The pappardelle was great; it had an excellent flavor and soaked up the sauce well. The mushrooms were well cooked, almost slightly crunchy while still retaining their moisture and flavor. I'm not a big fan of cheese and usually avoid it, but I didn't mind it on the pasta. The service was good (4.5/5); our waiter was nice and friendly. Also, they got our food out very quickly; I was pretty impressed, especially given its quality and how busy the restaurant was. The restaurant is pretty small, and people tend to stay for quite a while, so making a reservation is recommended, although you usually need to quickly after they release the times a month in advance. The ambiance is nice (4/5); the candle light makes for a nice date spot.

It is still magnificent with a few updates. I would encourage you to visit just to see this spectacular layout, that includes a boutique hotel, fabulous bar, sitting rooms, outside eating area , AND , a cigar bar. For our first visit to Rocco's, we started with delicious cocktails , manhattan and espresso martini. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad, which was enough for two, and made with white anchovies. The bread with dipping oil was very good, with an added herb touch, I just can't say for sure, what it was. For entrees, my husband had pasta with red sauce and meatballs. The sauce was delicious and the meatball was huge and tasty ( ground pork, veal and ground meat). The pasta was cut into small pieces, unusual for Italian twirlers, but a little overcooked. My veal parm was very good . We were given a complimentary vanilla gelato which was delicious. Special thanks to Maia, Janelle, and Lucy who made sure we were well taken care of.

I had a little bit of a disappointing time here. The place seemed very cool, and certain spots in…read morethe sitting area certainly are, but my experience just didn't live up to what I had expected. I did get to try their chicken parmigiana, tiramisu, and coffee. First, as I mentioned, the interior is quite cool, but we were sort of thrown to the very back in a corner where all I could admire was the wall. The table was also fairly shakey. So it wasn't the best start. I will say the waitress was amazing and very friendly, though. She checked in on us several times while we were still deciding our meals. Bread was great. Now, onto the food. The chicken parm was a letdown, in my opinion. Okay portion of chicken, quite a small portion of pasta that didn't have all that much flavor. Wasn't a huge fan. Now, the tiramisu thought....that was actually delicious. One of the best I've had in a while. Super creamy and served in a cute cup (it's more filling and larger than you might think initially). That was amazing, and paired well with the coffee (coffee was typical). All in all, amazing dessert, and okay mains. Good service. There are some beautiful spots to be seated, but we weren't seated there, so can't comment on that.

Our drinks from the bar or a C minus at best too much ice in the old-fashioned along with too much bitters. The espresso martini was very basic. My husband said that deconstructed lasagna was OK. I got the lemon ricotta pasta, and the pancetta was not good and there was an overwhelming amount. The peas in the dish were definitely not fresh peas.

Examples of menu items are appetizers (e.g., burrata, arancini, soups, and salads), entrees (e.g., pizzas, pastas, and chicken piccata), and beverages (e.g., wines, martinis, spritzes, and beers). Prices are reasonable. Through Yelp, I made a reservation for an early dinner for my husband and me. The employees promptly and kindly served us throughout our meal. The restaurant had two floors of indoor seating. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Moscato wine - 5 stars Caesar Salad - 4 stars - I liked that I could order a half size, but I recommend that the kitchen staff mix in the dressing. Meatballs with Garlic Bread - 5 stars Chicken Parmesan - 3.5 stars - On chitarra noodles. I recommend making the breading crispier and tweaking the tomato sauce. Vodka-cream Pizza - 4.5 stars - Tasty sauce, onions, mozzarella, basil, and oregano. Tirasmisu - 4.5 stars - House-made, moist. Lady finger, mascarpone cream, and cocoa powder. We received a small discount during the happy hour. Our total price was about $69 plus a credit-card fee, tax, and tip.
