Girlfriend and I were in town for a hockey game and to celebrate 2 years of sobriety for myself. We were having ourselves an amazing weekend until it was time to get dinner. We walked down the main street and every restaurant had a line that was at least 11 people long. We continued to walk until we got to Rocco's.
We were overjoyed to see no line and a friendly hostess. She immediately seated us outside next to the hostess stand. We were in high spirits, literally dancing and singing in the streets (we're a goofy couple) and our waitress came over to the table.
She immediately zeroed in on my girlfriend, drawing extremely close, making my girlfriend uncomfy. She asked if she wanted drinks and my girlfriend declined. The entirety of the time, she did not acknowledge my presence there until it was time to pay in which she gladly took my card. My girlfriend even asked if I knew her because she thought the waitress's lack of service towards me was personal (I'm not from Boston and this was my first time at Rocco's so this is impossible.)
I noticed she did this with a large table next to us but not nearly as blatant as there was a couple that just got engaged next to us. It was specifically the men. Now I'm not saying I deserve special treatment or this woman owes me anything, however it was distracting to the entire experience and ruined both my girlfriend and I's mood. I will not be recommending this this place because of Courtney B.'s actions.
The food was not bad. We had the arancini which was probably the best part. The rice balls were nicely made and perfect size for appetizers. We got two flatbreads as well. They were typical bar flatbreads.
This place is probably a nice spot in the summer. Probably a great bar for those who consume alcohol. The lack luster service was a buzz kill.
