Rocco‘s the quit essential Italian restaurant in all of Orlando. If you want Italian this is absolutely the place you need to go from entertainment in the bar to authentic dishes my wife and I highly recommend this restaurant
I hardly ever leave reviews, but this place is nuts. Pricey for sure, but worth every damn penny. The gnocchi literally made me emotional. Insanely knowledgeable staff. Came in wearing t-shirts and shorts and felt bad for being somewhat underdressed, but the owner and staff still treated us like family. Will return often. Keep up the great job!
We've been here 3 or 4 times for our work Christmas get together and it's always a good experience. I make reservations in advance and we're seated immediately upon arrival. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and great at making menu recommendations. The specials are always fabulous and seasonal. The food is excellent, there's a good wine selection and the restaurant is cozy and pleasantly lit. Definitely recommend.
Rocco's was a very classy and wonderful place. Took my mom there for her birthday and the staff was helpful, friendly, and wonderful, the food was great, and the ambiance was incredible. I will definitely visit again and recommend to everyone.
Let me just say one thing.... This restaurant is phenomenal!!! Authentic to the core. I forgot to take pictures because the atmosphere and food was so good that it slipped my mind, lol. Trust me, if you are looking for terrific Italian food, no need to search any more. Indoor and outdoor seating, staff and the environment alone was very welcoming. Get there early because it does get crowded and you will understand why on the first bite. Expresso is the Best. Me. Rocco is a gem. Please donor pass this place by. Enjoy!
In short, terrible.If you want details, read on. Been a few times and considered it an average Italian restaurant. Went tonight and had a filet mignon that was drenched in a greasy gravy that was so spicy I couldn’t eat it, and I like spicy food.It was so spicy and bad I thought my wife was playing a practical joke on me and the restaurant was in on it. I had only taken a few bites and informed the waiter how bad it was. His reply “ its a good steak.” I was never offered an alternative meal or to have my filet recooked.I paid and left a generous tip because I’m a gentleman. I tried to inform Rocco of my bad experience and he seemed offended and offered no apology. I had already paid and wasn’t looking for anything for free because after that experience I didn’t want their food. Never again.As terrible as the steak was, what was even worse was Rocco and the waiter being totally offended that I politely mentioned the steak was bad. I didn’t even tell them it was the worst steak I’ve ever had in my life; which it was.****There are far too many better options in Orlando and WP.

Very delicious food. Our server was rather rushed...didn't seem interested in anything we had to say until she was done her speech.Beyond that, I enjoyed the ambiance and the food...... I can't even begin to express. The steak was like butter and the sauce was spectacular.I'd come back for sure.
Very disappointed. We got engaged at this restaurant many years ago when it was Trastevere. We returned for our 25th anniversary. We had a party of 17. They suggested an appetizer for the table. We said okay, thinking it would make things simple. They charged over $30 per person for just the appetizers. We had serious sticker shock. I was told by Rocco himself…nobody put a gun to my head and made me order the appetizers. We were never told the price and were stunned. It literally ruined our night. Never again!!!
We had a big group it's a birthday celebration, everyone is having fun suddenly the manager offered an appetizer and some just nod. After said and all our bill had the appetizer$30 per couple one piece some kind of meat ravioli ( one piece) our bill including tips are $250 I didn't even have drink. BTW 5 ravioli is $38
