Rocco Steakhouse

Our experience was everything you would expect from an excellent NYC steakhouse. If I could give more than 5 stars for food, atmosphere and especially service I would without hesitation. The staff worked as a well organized crew that ensured nothing was missed or left wanting for our dinner. It was so seamless that it appeared routine for the staff even on a very busy night. Yes the prices are higher than most people are used to paying, I assume, but it is an experience/restaurant that far exceeds just the price alone. I can't recommend Rocco Steakhouse enough.

Not my first Steakhouse in New York and so there is some level of comparison. We ordered a Porterhouse and Ribeye for four persons, two appetisers and two sides to share. Overall the meat is not bad but I think the searing was too charred to the point where it affects the overall taste of the meat. Would have preferred it to be seared to dark brown and not black. Portion wise was just nice for four person. The mash potato and spinach was good as well. Like most steakhouses, they have a good selection of wines and we ordered two bottles. Total bill came up to $850 which I suppose is normal. Service is good.. Very polite and efficient but not exactly friendly. But no issues there. They gave us free desserts - four different slices of cake, which was much appreciated. Overall was very good but not exceptional. As mentioned, should try other steakhouses to see the difference. Still a good place to go to experience it.

I’ve been to Ny from Chicago many times and definitely have a list of 500 restaurants to check out. I never had this place on my list. We were in the neighborhood and got rejected by a 2 hour wait list and walked down the block. Needless to say it’s on my top list. I said let’s go in this steakhouse. It looks good. The fun begins from here. They said of course we have a table for you. Our waiter comes over and sees that my mother-in-law is Italian and starts speaking Italian to her. The rest is a magical evening. After he took our order he was singing Italian songs to our table all night. My mother-in-law was so impressed by the attention. This is great cause she is so hard to please in restaurants. They also cooked her sea bass to perfection and to her spec! I had the ribeye which was Devine and my wife and her mother got the sea bass. We also ordered the mushrooms, potatoes and veg sides. Everything was impeccable! I will go back here many times and kudos to their staff for all they do. They are all #1 in my book!

This is a hidden Gem that should be on the top list of Nyc Steakhouses. First the service was 5 stars. Emil, Roccini, and Manager Vinny were by far the best out of all the premium Steakhouses. The food was exactly where you expect a top tier restaurant should be. The drinks were well balanced. The appetizers were fresh out the see. Sweat water taste. The steaks were aged properly and the marbling was spot on. The decor was ny modern and refreshing compared to some old Steakhouses. The menu had more options than what you would expect. I highly recommend this place over the others. 5 stars all around.

Ribeye steak was good, thin crust of char (perhaps just a little too charred, more burnt taste than seared.). But all in all great flavor, the sort of meat that you don't need to cover up with spicy steak sauce. One ribeye was sufficient for two people. The real standouts though were the starters: onion soup and Rocco salad. The salad especially was colorful and flavorful with a huge variety of perfectly cubed finely chopped ingredients.

The best steakhouse visited ever. First, you get into the bar / entrance area where a waiter welcomes you. For us we have been directly brought to our place which was more on the front of the restaurant near the bar area. Big plus was the room divider which separated the bar and dining area, which made it very cozy. Now coming to the most important part, the steaks. We have been 8 people with mixed steak experience. All of us have been tremendously impressed by the quality of the meat, as well how it was cooked and presented. It was just on point and how a piece of meat need to be made. Given this great experience, where also the waiter contributed very much, the price tag at the end was more than fair. Really good price value ratio you can find here! Special tip: The smashed potatoes as sides are a must do.

My mother and I wanted to find a steakhouse in Manhattan and we came across Rocco. The restaurant and waiters were great and brought great ambiance to our dining experience. The crab cake for the appetizer was delicious along with their cocktails. We ordered the porterhouse steak for two and it was spot on with their temperatures. Will definitely recommend this steakhouse and make a recommendation ahead of time to try out this place. Might bring my friends here next time and try their ribeye
