    Parmigiano fried chicken with the Yukon good mashed potatoes
    Cheyenne C.

    Service was sweet and great! The restaurant was nice and spacious enough for a big party and holy moly the parmigiano fried chicken (chicken enough for two people) the mashed potatoes are heavenly (recommend getting two sides of them, they're THAT good and def not enough with the amount of chicken you're served) it was all a HIT! High recommend you check this place out! Everyone else said their entrees were phenomenal!!

    Brisket lasagna

    Spaghetti and meatballs
    Jordan S.

    Amazing!!!! Made a reservation, had a cute sign made from the hostess on our table. The pasta is fresh, and cooked al dente perfectly. The waitress was great and attentive. The bolognese for me was wayyy better than the spaghetti and meatball dish. Amazing atmosphere too!

    Super outstanding!!! Amazing and delicious. The staff phenomenal - full of positive and charming energy, even to the interaction with each other. The hostess beautiful like angel with the best warm welcoming smile and engaged, made you feel important. The food was amazing. Had goat frilled cheese, so fun, and delicious smoked tea pork! The place is clean, welcoming, and fresh.

    Excellent! Came here a day after a Spurs game so it was not busy. It was pretty easy to find and parking was free. It's a beautiful restaurant with a rooftop. Had a girl's night dinner and they did not disappoint! The portions are big so definitely had some leftover to take home. I had the Tuscan Campanella Alla Bolognese and let me tell you, I could eat this every day it was so delicious! The drinks are perfect. The Peach Bellini and Full of Flowers were yummy. Manager introduced himself and told us about the restaurant and events they will be having. Service was superb and was decently priced for the quality and amount of food. Can't wait to go again:)

    We tried a variety of dishes and overall had a really enjoyable experience. We started with the porcini-crusted onion rings served with balsamic cipollini jam and Calabrese aioli. The flavor was great, but they were a bit on the greasy side for my liking. For brunch, I ordered the tiramisu pancakes and WOW .....absolutely AMAZING. Fluffy, rich, and perfectly sweet with that classic tiramisu flavor. We had the Tuscan campanelle alla bolognese. It was comforting, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. We also tried the lunch plate with chicken skewers, asparagus, and potatoes. Everything tasted fresh, cooked perfectly, and well-balanced. It is definitely a lighter option that doesn't sacrifice flavor. Overall, great food with solid variety. Highly recommend the tiramisu pancakes and bolognese!

    As those of you who read my reviews often know, I am in charge of picking the venues for my retirement group's monthly luncheons. This year, I wanted something new and special for our holiday luncheon in December. I went online and asked Perplexity for a list of restaurants that would meet our needs. This was one of them. The restaurant is in an area called the Rock. It is fairly new, and we found it a little hard to find. When we did find it, we weren't sure how to get to the front door. Unfortunately, we had driven right past all the handicap parking, which would've made it about a 50 foot walk to the door for my friend. Instead, we ended up walking all the way around the building to find the entrance. The restaurant was very nicely laid out and decorated. It had a wide open feeling in the dining room. We were given two large tables towards the back that were almost private. The menu was not what most of us would expect to find on a traditional Italian restaurant menu. However, we all managed to find something that we enjoyed. As every meal was placed on the table, I wished I had ordered it instead. Then they finally brought mine, and it was very good. For me, the highlights were the selection of mocktails. They had several of them, and they were all much more creative than usual. I tried two of them and they were great. Another thing I have to sing praises about are those wonderful deviled eggs! They were insanely delicious and so well prepared. We actually asked if we could get the recipe. The chef came to our table, and, although he shared some of the ingredients, he wasn't overly willing to just just out and out tell us how to make them. Our server was a young man named Ian. He was simply amazing. Y'all know how I feel about good servers. No matter how good the meal is, I won't be back if I don't get good service. Ian knew his menu, he answered way too many questions that we old folks always ask, and he was very friendly the whole time. Now that we know where the front door is, I feel like we will be eating here more often. Everything about it was an enjoyable experience for our group of retired teachers.

    Salmon fillet
    Jasmine C.

    We went here during restaurant week and I ordered the smoked brisket Lasagna and the flavor was AMAZING . We also ordered the salmon which was also really good! For dessert we had the Nutella torte. Overall this was a really nice restaurant. Our waitress was really nice and helped us decide what to order.

    Caramelized Brie tart with blueberry & lavender infused luxardo cherries (blueberry & lavender infusion was INSANE!)
    Tara R.

    They knocked it out of the park with the menu & the execution. Very versatile options while still remaining a familiar feel. The ambiance is awesome as well, there's indoor & outdoor seating with two levels. Outside there are two patios with both overlooking the rock at La Cantera (an impressive installation for the community with a HUGE screen for showing sports/movies, a splash pad, basketball, & more). Our server was Cassie & even though we came in late, she still welcomed us warmly. Everything came out absolutely amazing. We had an apple & goat cheese salad, arancini, brisket lasagna, grueyere & potato ravioli, & the sweet tea brined pork loin. Sheesh! Everything was amazing flavor bomb. We'll be back to try another tour of the menu soon!

    Fig and prosciutto pizza, hold the arugula - personal preference :)  So good!
    Brianna W.

    Super surprised to see less than 5-stars here, I think this place is excellent. Food was outstanding, service was exceptional - exactly what I'd expect to see from a Jason Dady restaurant. Hubby, from Boston who loves Italian, said his dinner was the best bolognese he's had in Texas. Wish I'd gotten a pic. The food is clean and not overwhelming, although we still left with to-go boxes. Reasonably priced menu options plus a few top tier, more pricey options. I had the pizza ($21) - the crust was so thin and light, all of it so flavorful. Can't wait to come back soon. Cheers!

    Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes

    Had reservations on a Saturday night for a group of eight. By chance, all of us ordered something different. It was frustrating because some of the portions almost looked like kid menu size while others were MASSIVE in size. All of us enjoyed our meal. Our server was amazing and did a great job of taking care of the large group...

    Steph W.

    Sit outside when the weather is asking for it! It is loud so be prepared. The food was decent, though pricey. I got the pizza and it was alright. The dough wasn't entirely baked thru. Brisket lasagna tasted great but the portion was ridiculously small. Mother loved her dish, which I forgot the name. Otherwise this place is great for drinks and sitting outside!

    Burrata Di Búfala
    Marla G.

    Roca & Martillo was a great experience I was able to stop by for a quick appetizer and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered the Burrata Di Búfala, great combination of flavors. It was the perfect temp came with fresh strawberry's Prosciutto di Parma, Fennel-Pink Peppercorn Jam, Basil & Tigelle Italian Streetbread. The street bread was my favorite part but everything mixed into one bite really brought the meal together. The service was also very attentive and the atmosphere was a nice relaxing spot to chat and grab drinks. Hope to visit again soon for the full experience!

It is a beautiful venue, nicely appointed with booths, tables, and a huge gorgeous bar. Their happy hour is one of the best in town. The food is so delicious (we especially love the red pepper soup!). The wine selection is huge! Finally, the service is top notch. Both Tiffany and Heather are great, and the owner Kim is so engaging! You feel welcome the second you come through the door and you can tell a lot of love went into the restaurant's creation. I will say the Sunday all day happy hour and trivia game is a bit too crowded and noisy for me. So I'll stick to the other evenings in the future. And I'm gonna tell all my friends about this great place!

They were pretty busy with reservations when we arrived so we sat at the bar. They have happy hour from 3-6 Wednesday- Friday and all day Sunday. They have a separate happy hour menu with bites and a couple different wines. There main menus does consist of wines from multiple regions of the world. They also have wine flights for you to sample new things . My wife and I ordered the meat balls and the cellar cut flat bread . The meat ball's were very tender with excellent flavor and are served with a marinara sauce and ricotta cheese. It's also accompanied by two slices of garlic bread. The Flat bread was a nice portion size for two . It is meant for those who love cheese as the mozzarella and feta are very present. The meat portion could be a bit more for me ( I'm a carnivore). The dough was nice and airy and the flatbread overall was tasty. The feta was a bit too much for my taste. Could have done less. I started with the GSM and my wife with the Cab Sav from happy hour . The GSM was flavorful, a little bold, but a little bitter to me. The Cabernet was very fruity and full bodied . We tried a couple other wines that were spot on. This is a nice place to have wine with friends and bites. It is a nice size and has an excellent atmosphere. Very nice decor and bright. We will be back !

Chicken was moist, flavorful and the noodles in vodka sauce delicious! Also had the side Cesar salad with dressing on the side. Crunchy romaine and fresh! Not one discolored leaf...which is sad that I can't say that for many places. I'm looking forward to ordering other menu items and it was well worth the drive with all the construction (freeway).

We were celebrating a birthday, and what should have been a special evening turned into a frustrating experience because of the service. Our server was rude and dismissive throughout the meal. I understand everyone has off days, and normally I would leave it at that. However, what was even more disappointing was the manager's response when I brought up the issue. Rather than taking the concern seriously and making any effort to improve the situation, he seemed more amused than concerned. The server's name started with an "R," which may help identify her. I do have her full name now. More importantly, management should determine which manager was working on July 20 around 7:15 PM because the lack of professionalism from both the server and the manager reflects a much larger customer service problem. Looking at the restaurant's ratings, it's hard to believe this was an isolated incident. The manager's reaction made it clear why so many guests leave disappointed. Good restaurants know that service recovery matters just as much as the meal itself. A sincere apology and an effort to correct the issue would have gone a long way. I hope ownership takes this feedback seriously and provides additional customer service training. Guests spend their hard-earned money here and should feel valued, especially when celebrating important occasions.

It was served with flatbread for dipping, and the lemon butter sauce was absolutely delicious. I followed our server's recommendation and ordered the Chicken Napoletana for my entrée.

I would absolutely come back just to order this dish again. We also had the pizza and spaghetti with meatballs, and both were delicious. The bread deserves a special mention as well- 10/10. I found this restaurant while visiting San Antonio and wanted to avoid dining near the River Walk, so I followed an article that listed it as the best authentic Italian restaurant in the city. After eating here, I completely agree with that assessment. Overall, this was an outstanding meal and a place I would gladly recommend to anyone looking for excellent Italian food in San Antonio.

The caramelized onions ended up giving a similar consistency with the burger it just had no distinction to it. And our waitress was very nice and attentive. I just wasn't wowed by anything (other than the jelly on the charcuterie) so I'm not sure if we would be back. I was surprised my wife didn't get the dessert but she did say she enjoyed it.
