We had the pleasure of dining at Rocco’s Italian Kitchen in March. For dinner, we ordered the Meatball Bowl and the Fried Calamari—both were absolutely delicious! Zack, our server, was friendly, professional, and respectful. He truly provided outstanding service. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Let me start by saying the entire staff is amazing! My girlfriend and I chose to sit at the bar and were warmly taken care of by the very funny Dana. She was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions about the food and drinks. We had Italian bread with garlic oil for dipping and the meatball bowl. 10 out of 10—definitely worth a visit!
