    Rocco was a pleasant surprise we didn't know about. Prices were a little on the high side but to be honest we haven't been eating out a lot to really compare. Our waiter was fantastic and kept on making sure we had all we needed. It was a Sunday night and the place wasn't that busy, so not sure how or if the service would change some. We are not ones for recommending reasturants as all taste are different, but we will definitely go back.

    This one took us by surprise! Googled Italian when we finally agreed to what we both wanted... so I've seen this place open up by my UPS where I do all my Amazon returns. The outside is very deceiving. You walk in and it is such a big beautiful restaurant! And the food, it were blown away. From the bread, to the meal, we were very happy with our experience. It was delicious and such a great experience. Our host Maddie was an exceptional server and made our experience that much more lovely. Will definitely be back again. The Italain Eggrolls were so good!!

    Service was friendly and attentive. Food was ok, way too salty for me with lots of leftovers. I would go back except that they charge 5% for using a credit or debit card. While they clearly let you know on the menu that there is a sharing plate charge, the credit card service fee is never mentioned until the bill comes.
