Rocca Cafe & Lounge

Visited here for dinner and returned the next day for brunch! Amazing view, lively atmosphere! Turkish breakfast was sooo good and more than enough for two people. Def will be back

Great spot in Brooklyn! Service is very attentive and professional. Food is amazing. They also have great hookah in dedicated sections. On a nice day, the view of the marina can be lovely.

Rocca definitely Rocks in terms of quality food, great service and friendliness of staff, the interior and the views of Marine really adds up to the atmosphere in this cafe. Definitely recommend. The prices are affordable for the enjoyment you get.

Sitting right on the water, Rocca offers a stunning dining experience. Upon entry, I was charmed by the vastness of the establishment, which can easily and comfortably accommodate lots of guests. What truly set the tone for the evening was the live music and vocalist. The singer's performance was beautiful and it perfectly complemented the restaurant's aura. The volume was also not overbearing and allowed for our party to have clear conversations. To start, the restaurant brought us warm bread that was delicately sprinkled with sesame seeds. The breads softness coupled with a slight crunch left a great first impression on what was to come. While I opted for the Blue Hawaiian drink, it leaned a touch too sweet for my palate, with hints reminiscent of a Kool-Aid flavor profile. Nonetheless, it was well put together and I believe it spoke to the craftsmanship and offerings at Rocca’s bar. We had hookah at our table and although it was smooth, I would’ve preferred it to be a tad cloudier. The servers' attempts to enhance the experience were commendable, though the difference was subtle. Despite my comments, the hookah was great. Service at Rocca was a standout feature. Our appetizers arrived promptly, and I was delighted with the falafel, featuring deep-fried chickpeas and vegetables. The falafel was perfectly fried, devoid of any excessive oiliness that can often overwhelm such dishes. The accompanying hummus, though amazing, could have benefited from a touch more acidity to truly elevate the dish. A surprising twist came with the order of fries, crispy and unexpectedly one of the menu's highlights, despite being a Mediterranean restaurant. They remain a memorable side dish that I would highly recommend. For the main course, I ordered the Chicken Shish, which had a nice grilled flavor accompanied with well-balanced seasoning. As for the rice, though pleasant, they could have used a bit more seasoning, even just more salt, to reach its full potential. Rocca’s portion sizes are indeed generous, ensuring that no guest leaves hungry. A special mention goes to our server, Yasin, who elevated the dining experience with impeccable service. Yasin's attentiveness, deep knowledge of the menu, and seamless efficiency indicated years of experience and a commitment to ensuring our needs were met proactively. In conclusion, Rocca is a must-try destination where stunning views, live music, and attentive service merge seamlessly with a diverse menu.

I had the delight of going there for the first time with my girlfriend and brother from another mother Yucel. Amazing place. Fun atmosphere. Live music. The food is excellent. The meat is tender and perfectly seared. The DJ plays a variety of music to cater to all cultures plus a live musician. Very fun safe place by the water. Very classy. We drove from central NY Syracuse area to come see this place. Did not disappoint. The owners are very amiable gentlemen. Lifetime memories. Thank you
