Wow! Wow! Wow! STAY CLEAR FROM HERE!!
It took me a minute to regroup after my family's unfortunate encounter at "Rocco's Pizza" in Hollywood Beach Boardwalk. What we experienced was nothing short of Traumatic and absolutely appalling. Never in my 47 years of life have I ever been so mistreated along with my children, nephew, and sister. It was a disgusting display of bullies huddled together under the guise of a business. My family came in around noon for lunch and after reading some amazing reviews, we decided to try it, my family and I come to the boardwalk at least once a week and love trying something new, though this is not a new place, we have our fav pizza place Florio's just a quarter mile up. We sat down with a lovely server and ordered 5 meals. My nephew (child of 11) ordered a calzone. After 15 minutes all orders arrived, minus my nephews, we joked after 5 minutes and said we were going to have bad manners today because we were all hungry and did not want our meals to get cold. My sister waited for her son, My two daughters (17 and 7) finished our meals, no calzone. Finally, my sister went to ask about the calzone, APPARENTLY THAT IS NOT OK AT ROCCOS. The owner came out screaming that we were not all done eating and that why were we mad at that?? That we WERE ENJOYING LOVELY MEACCORDING TO HER. The table behind me turned and I sat in aghast. My girls were horrified. I stood up and said we would not be treated that way. SHE SAID GET THE F@CK OUT B!TCH I'LL COVER THE BILL!! I was in complete shock and disbelief, I went inside to get my sister and a MAN YELLED AT ME AND MY SISTER PAY THE BILL OR WE WILL CALL THE POLICE YOU B!TCHES. I told him she said it was covered to leave, He said I will call the cops you stupid bitch, I am thinking I am in danger and in twilight zone, I call the police and exit the restaurant, beside myself, my youngest in tears, my sister who IS A RECOVERING CANCER PAID UNDER DURESS.
The police officers came, apparently this is a daily thing here. UNBELIEVABLE. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING CALL BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OR HELP ME HOWARD. HOW SAD!!
When I went back to reviews, I found that unfortunately we are just a drop in the hat of a puddle of people verbally abused and assaulted by THE SAID OWNERS, A MALE VERBALLY ASSAULTING TWO WOMEN AND 3 KIDS. SOME FELT IT WAS DISCRIMINATION, I HONESTLY JUST FELT BEATEN DOWN. IF THAT WAS DISCRIMINIATION FEELS LIKE, YES. AND IT HURTS. HOW CAN OWNER FEEL ENTITLED TO CALL PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR NAMES IN THEIR BUSINESS!! WHERE ARE WE???????
After this. Easter Sunday was done. We went home, the kids cried in the car, asked what we did wrong, why did they treat us that why, I cried in the shower. I was never in my life so shaken and felt so unprotected.
Then I read THE REVIEWS, AFTER REVIEW, AFTER REVIEW. THE BAD ONES. OHHH AND THEY ARE BAD!! CALLING PEOPLE OUT OF NAMES IS A NORM HERE. WE WERENT SPECIAL AFTER ALL. DISGUSTING ROACHES AND BUG COMPLAINTS INSIDE FOOD, THEY WERE MADE TO PAY FOR MEALS WITH ROACHES!!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?? BETTER YET, WHO ARE THEY BACKED BY? WHY HASN'T SANITATION SERVICES BEEN BY, BETTER BUSINESS BURREAU IN CONTACT WITH THEM? WHO CAN VERBALLY ASSAULT PEOPLE DEMAND THEY PAY AND KICK THEM OUT. IT'S NOT OK. STAY CLEAR FROM HERE!! read more
