What a cool spot, an amazing renovated building in the North Side looks incredible. Had a drink at the bar before we had dinner. Our waitress was great, the bolognese was on point, solid wine maybe could use a few more options. Then went to hang and have a cigar at the club out back, seriously legit place would recommend Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Rocco's is upscale casual, great for date night, not just special occasions. We came on a slow night (only one other table), and I think this place would really shine with a livelier crowd. Staff were excellent and the decor is really unique. Wine list is on the smaller side ($60–$150/bottle) and light on Italian options. They do allow BYOB with a corkage fee, which we'd probably do next time. The Caesar salad was excellent. Well-executed with flavorful croutons. My gnocchi was the standout: perfectly cooked with a slightly spicy, incredibly flavorful sauce. My wife's chicken al limone had great flavor but was very light on sauce and the egg batter was undercooked. Still good enough that we'd try it again. Skip the tiramisu. It's overly sweet and crunchy. It was mostly cream, with lady fingers that weren't soaked in coffee or rum. If you do order it, get an espresso alongside to balance the sweetness. We'll definitely be back at some point in the future! Price per person: $70–80 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

So Good! Rocco's Ristorante is awesome. It feels like a cozy, old school Italian place the minute you walk in. We started with the Greens and Beans appetizer, and wow, it was delicious! Super comforting and savory. Then came the meatball. It was huge, super tender, and had amazing red sauce. Just like homemade. For my main, I had the strip steak with polenta. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the polenta was incredibly creamy and smooth. It was the best part! The service was friendly. If you want great Italian food that tastes homemade, go to Rocco's. I'm definitely going back! Note- valet parking available. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Parking options: Valet
