“ Lovely family owned Italian restaurant. Pastas were very good with decent price for the area. Well worth a stop while on the road! ”
“ The best ever. My partner and I were starving today at 2:30. We thought Rocco’s would be perfect. We called and asked if they were delivering yet. Kirk, the super Awesome host, chef and delivery person made an exception. Brought us a YUMMY pizza and Salad. And made our day. It’s hard to find custom caring customer service like this anymore. LOVE IT! Kirk has all the qualities of an awesome restaurant owner of his own in the future!! I see great success there. And yummy food. ”
“ Sadly burned in fire. My thought go out to this Italia restaurant that was a favorite to many in tge community ”
“ Great pizza, amazing friendly folks—what more could you ask for? Seriously, I think I’ve found pizza paradise! Even the chef was like, 'Hello!' when he brought the pizza out. Glad I stumbled upon this place—my taste buds are forever grateful ”
“ Great mom and pop Italian restaurant at the edge of Palisades with a friendly staff and fair prices. Everything from their Lasagna, Pizza, Spaghetti with Meatballs and Chicken Fettuccini we're all delicious! Small parking lot outside. ”
“ I've had just about everything on the menu here. I will list the top three dishes I've had and continue my review. First I'd like to start off with saying this place is the same owner as the one that use to be in Topanga Canyon. Unfortunately the owner sold that place to a new person. Moving on. The pizza: tomato sauce is extremely tasty, cheese is great, the time they cook the pizza is perfect. No burnt crust perfectly toasted in the pizza oven and golden. The dough is definitely top notch. Rocco's Hero sandwich. Sandwich is made on a fresh piece of french bread baguette. The meat is fresh, lettuce is fresh, tomato is fresh, right amount of mayo and seasoning. What more do you want from a sandwich?. It's just perfect. Cheese ravioli with pink sauce. The pink sauce is very tasty. Some places make there pink sauce to creamy and FAR to rich in flavor. This sauce is not overpowering the ravioli in anyway. The cheese works in with the sauce and you get the taste of everything. Food. Very much above average. The chef takes his job seriously and the food shows it. Decor. Decor is average it's not really a place you'd sit down and just eat although they do have seating. But it's more of a to go order kind of place. Cleanliness. Restaurant is clean every where. Staff: Staff is always very helpful and very nice. Owner is usually there working as well which shows he cares for his business and it's success in a new location. That to me shows quality and good professionalism with there restaurant. To end this review I will say this. If you want a quick bite to eat you can't go wrong with this place. The food is fantastic and I highly recommend it. I hardly give places 5 stars because I'm EXTREMELY picky with food. If you like pizza, pasta and subs? try this place out you'll enjoy it. ”
“ If you find the prices at the Getty Villa a bit pricey, Rocco's is a sweet alternative. The quality is delicious and the prices are a bargain. The parking lot is a bit small but definitely give this place a try! ”
“ Hands down the best place we’ve eaten at while we’re visiting in cali. Service was so amazing, heart of house and front of house staff kept checking on us after moving tables together for my family the surprise 8top. Rocco rolls were addicting and we used the leftover garlic butter for every slice of pizza... thanks to the Rocco’s team for making our vacation better! Haven’t even left the place yet... had to mention how amazing it is before I left. ”
