Rocco's Italian Restaurant

Andy

Decided to try because of a Groupon deal. Best Italian I've had in a long time. The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff was friendly and attentive. The veal wasn't frozen and was perfectly cooked. The red sauce is fantastic and not salty. The lasagna and meatballs were homemade and delicious. The portions were large. The bread and salad were also great. Will definitely be back. If you're looking for authentic Italian, you will find it here.

What started off as a search for a comfortable place to catch the football game, turned into a romantic candle lit dinner with stunningly delicious food and an even more refined waitstaff. Owned by Randy Rumple and opened at this location in 1982, Rocco’s Italian restaurant may very well be Colorado Springs’ best kept secret. To our surprise, every dish is prepared by skilled Chefs and served homemade and fresh. The Tortellini soup was perfectly seasoned and the seafood dish we ordered was blissfully creamy. Our waitress and bartender, Janel, was not only one of the most pleasant and friendly servers I’ve experienced here in Colorado Springs, but she also knows her way around the bar and dining room menu. She made our experience personal and was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with. The ambiance of the dining area was cozy and romantic. Tasteful string lights, modern jazz music, and the classic red and white checkered tablecloths, helped in setting the mood for a cozy intimate evening. After dinner, my other half and I were able to move to the bar to catch the end of the Patriots game. Reasonable prices, flavorful dishes, convenient parking, cleanliness, and a memorable waitstaff were just some of the many reasons I would recommend Rocco’s Italian restaurant. This charming destination was splendidly everything we didn’t realize we needed.

Well me and my friend came in for their pizza pie . The girl happened to misunderstand me and bring us thw regular pizza. They were very busy so this is totally understandable. What happened next is what solidifies our returning to this quiet little italian joint. As soon as the girl realized that we had the wrong pizza she was off to set the order right and even though we offered to pay for the other pizza and take it with us as well. She however wouldn't have it, she knew what we ordered and was definitely making sure we got it. Great. But sometimes slow service. Everything youd expect from an italian restaurant. This isn't fazolis , it takes time to prepare. Loved how the meatballs were made in house and delicious. (none of that frozen pizza hut stuff) and while our pizza looked a little less all powerful and mighty than the one in the photos (which is what lured us there to begin with) it was still worth the 15 we paid through groupon entirely. Its better than most pizza places, doesn't make me sick, no heartburn. Real ingredients, real food, real good. My ONLY negative feedback is that the bread was meger and 5.99. So maybe skip the bread appetizer and go straight for their food. You wont be dissatisfied. Id rate the place a 4 out of 5. Id call it a three star restaurant however but for this rating if overall satisfaction id say 4. Good job guys, keep it up madaline, youre a boss -Captain obvious
