we just left as a hockey team of 30+. Lindsay and her shift partner David were AMAZING. They were so friendly and efficient and phenomenal with the kids - would highly recommend this delicious and inviting atmosphere.

Decent food. Portions kinda small so bigger guys like me feel we should eat two entrés. Menus was kind of confusing if some stuff would have spaghetti included or not and still have $$ beside the options so was kinda weird.Other wise good. Tasted good. The veal parmigiana was kinda average. Good. But nothing to write home about. Try more of the specialty pastas those are pretty good

There was no one to receive us when we first entered. Had to flag someone down after wandering around for a few minutes to be seated by someone.The food was delicious. The decor is great. My eggplant was very delicious. I highly recommend it. Service was great.

Had a wonderful experience at Johnny Roccos. Our server Chris was phenomenal and the food and drinks were amazing. It's one of my favorite restaurants. I love the atmosphere there. Looking forward to summer patio season and the amazing mojito chris has recommended.

I wish I could give a review with negative stars! We have been taking our kids to Jonny Roccos ever since they opened.  Today on my sons birthday they asked for Jonny Roccos. We ordered chicken penne and a pizza for them.  The food arrived and we received the pizza but along with it was an order of penne with meatballs and one meatball looked half eaten.  It looked like a take out container filled with someone's leftovers.  We called the restaurant only to be told by Sarah the manager that "we cannot do anything with the 3rd party, so you need to call skip the dishes".  We then asked if they would not take ownership of the food they cooked and they said "no you need to contact skip the dishes".  If this is your position when the community is trying to support you in a pandemic, then your restaurant does not deserve the support!

Ordered take out. Spaghettis and Meatballs and Veal Parmesan. Everything was excellent except the you could not eat the veal. It was so tough chewing an eraser would have been a tender experience. If we had eaten in I would have sent it back which is something I have very rarely done. Based on the quality of everything else I was surprised the veal was that bad. As an aside, I had a beer while waiting for my food and the staff were great.

I really enjoyed the tapas and wine at Jonny Roccos. The service was great, the quality, value and flavour of the food was fantastic. Thanks for a great experience!

The ambience was really very unique and if you're visiting St.Catherine's it is a must location to visit. Staff was extremely friendly and hospitable, unfortunately the meals proved itself to be a tad bit mediocre. For instance, we ordered a fettuccine alfredo, but were served a penne without an justification and the consistency of the sauce was not thin enough but rather runny. We had been disappointed yet tired as we had driven over an hour to make our reservations! Nevertheless we hope to visit again, perhaps a second visit will be a bit more appetizing! It is a family friendly restaurant and very large one at that, you can definitely host large groups if you are looking for a place!

Always a positive experience. Delicious meal, friendly service and comfortable atmosphere. Gluten free option is nice. I liked watching the busy pizza maker across the room too.
