April Lee

This was a fabulous experience. We had Dwain, and he was the most excellent server I’ve seen in a while. He really enlightens the entire experience with best recommendations. He’s just so friendly, and made us feel like we were the most welcomed people at the restaurant. He listened to us to see what would be best for first diners like us, and even knew what we needed when we forgot to order bread. He even suggested we save mozzarella for our dinner meal, so we can enjoy our meal. Because of that, we were able to enjoy everything thoroughly. The food was also best we’ve had in Tampa, and that says a lot from foodies from Texas. I’ve had a lot of food from LA, and NYC, and this was best Italian I’ve had comparable or better than Italy. Rocca will not disappoint, but you do need to make reservation a month ahead of time. I highly suggest it!!! Thank you!

This dining experience was phenomenal! Our server was attentive and personable. I've never had Italian food this exquisite. Some of the plates look small, but we were getting full half way through the entrees. We had a decent amount of food for a little over $50 per person. Great price for the culinary experience we had last night. We'll definitely be going back. If you're sensitive to sound, the music is loud in parts of the restaurant.

Apollo Creed

In a word, FANTASTIC. 5-star food, atmosphere, wait, staff, management. Limited, but delicious, starters and dessert. The main theme of this restaurant is Italian pasta plates, mozzarella bar, and awesome drink specials. I'm not a cheesecake guy but this was absolutely the best I've ever had. Make your reservations early.

We are fortunate enough to live right near Rocca and we have been patrons since day 1. When they re-opened after the initial COVID-19 chaos, they were doing to go orders and they went above and beyond. For the local residents, this was truly enjoyable during a time where none of us knew what was going on from day to day. We have been back a few times since the official re-opening and one of those visits was last Wednesday evening. It was amazing and we are excited for their expansion in the future. It has been quite tough to get a reservation there - even as neighbors. You can walk in and sit a the bar but I am petite so I am not a fan of high top situations. If you see availability for a reservation, be sure to grab it right away. This is a wonderful restaurant!

I checked out Rocca for the first time. I've been to more Italian restaurants then I count, but there's nothing like Rocca. Everything I had was delicious. The highlight of the night was the cheese cart. They come to the table and hand stretch the mozzarella, slice fresh tomatoes, and drizzle everything with olive oil. I tried the ravioli which was phenomenal. The wine menu was a book and they offer any wines by the glass. Rocca is definitely a great place to take a date. Also, you should really make reservations in advance as it's across the street from Armature Works.

Highly recommend making a reservation. We enjoyed the mozzarella cart though it is no where near worth $35. The truffle pasta was my least favorite, I LOVE truffle though this dish was about a 2/10 for me. The pasta was dry/hard in texture, and very little sauce. The duck was amazing. A very potent cherry and orange taste (I do wish this sauce would of been served on the side instead of poured all over). It was tender and cooked very well. They only make a limited amount of ducks each night so do call ahead and reserve yours if you wish to order it (it was $125 and fed 2 people with average appetites).

Justin “JustInTime”

Walking into the restaurant there was a nice ambiance, a familiar feeling when gazing at the other diners. The service was exceptional and our waiter was knowledgeable about all the dishes I asked about! The food was delicious, I recommend getting the mozzarella cart and trying some of their seasonal drinks when in the mood. The whole place is an experience that left me wanting to come back, even though the price is a bit hefty, don’t be discouraged and try it for yourself!

My Lam

The service is really friendly and professional. Presentation of the food is good and the appetizer is delicious, but the food is overwhelming sour from all the lemon they put. The mozzarella is good and the presentation is wonderful and informative. The steak we ordered is really fatty and chewy, but the broccoli that came with it was EXTREMELY sour, taste like lemon. The food is good, but need to put less lemon. Cute place for date night and hang out. I love the music and atmosphere. Would come back again, but hopefully, the food could be less sour next time.

After reservation for 3 weeks ahead, I would say the food is worth the wait in terms of freshness, serving, taste. The service at the table is good. Mozzarella cart and roasted duck is our favorite. No parking on site on busy days and 10$ paid parking across the street.

Sarah B

Great place! Heard so much about it!! Been there twice now. Everyone has loved it including me! Staff was wonderful! Got the mozzarella cart both times! Loved it! The espresso martini is amazing! Fresh bread & oil is great! Pasta dishes were amazing! Will be back again! Love the variety! Waiters were terrific! Decor and ambiance is beautiful! Here are some photos from my visits!

Edwin Cruz

Amazing experience, one of the best restaurant I have experienced in Tampa. We tried 8 different menu items and all were incredible good. The made to order mozzarella and the bread were my favorites. I want to go back already.

Vladan Milakovic

Great experience, food was amazing,service also. Came here for my birthday dinner with family and friends and we really enjoyed it. Very balanced place with music and people... definitely coming back again. Also big thanks to Max for making late reservations for us 👏😊

Mark Saltiel

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. Our server had a ton of knowledge of the menu and was very thorough. Really cool modern European atmosphere, yet not pretentious. All of our food was phenomenal, you can tell everything is high quality and homemade. I’ll definitely be back!

Matthew Hathaway

This is hands down the best dinner for the money in Tampa! This is our go to dinner date restaurant. Getting the mozzarella cart is a must!! We are also never disappointed with whatever vegetable appetizer they have for the month. This visit it was a cucumber dish that was as visually amazing as it was delicious. For the mains the pasta dishes are second to none. The Agnolotti and the Tortello are my two favorite pasta dishes. I got the Tortello with squash this visit. Finally the go to dessert is the burnt cheesecake! Make sure to call ahead to reserve your slice because it goes fast!! I highly recommend you check this place out if you haven’t!! You won’t be disappointed!

Aasya Muhammad

Best little restaurant in Tampa. Wonderful service, food was spectacular!! Our reservation was for 7:15 and was seated immediately upon arrival. My husband and I came for our anniversary. I would’ve taken more photo’s but I chose to just enjoy the moment with my husband without any distractions. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend… you won’t be disappointed.

Joy G

Amazing experience, from the greeting to the last bite of dessert. We arrived early but they still accommodated and seated us promptly. Connor, our server was great. We had the fresh mozzarella cart which is a must try. The focaccia bread and the lemon butter was delish. All the pasta dishes were just to die for and to top off an excellent dinner the duck for all to share. We loved every single bite. All the drinks 🍹 were great too as well as the Pinot noir. Totally going back there for the chef’s table 😋

Haley Martin

Everything here is top notch. The level of service blew me away, our server, the mozzarella cart server and ambiance are a lovely foundation with the food and drink being a wonderful pinnacle to the experience. Can’t wait to go back!

Marlene Villanueva

Our first time visiting and we really enjoyed it.. Celebrating my sons 24th Birthday.. The food was delicious . The atmosphere was very nice. We enjoyed the mozzarella dish made at our table .. Our waiter Ervin was great and very attentive.. Definitely a place to visit in Tampa .. I’ve added a few pics of all the goodies we enjoyed.

Chris Ferri

Reservations are a good idea. We walked in on a Tuesday night, tonight, and they were fully book. First come sesting in the bar. There are 14 or so seats at the bar proper and 2 high tops that serve 4. We had excellent service. We ran the bases on this one with appetizers, entrees, and dessert. As well as alcohol for one of us. All of the staff is very friendly amd helpful. Great knowledge of the menu from the bartender taking care of us. Great guy, dark hair, mustache. He was the shorter of the 2 working. Next trip we will order the Mozzarella to be made tableside. Mozzarella pulled fresh at the table and then served with tomatoes, basil, and balsamic. The chef sent out some aged Parmesan as an Amuse and it was definitely enjoyed. The depth and complexity of the Parmesan worked well to wake our palates up and let us know what to expect.. We ordered the bread and a Salumi to start. The amount of Salumi is enough to easily share. The bread is house made and is served with butter, lemon, and olive oil. It gets 5 stars along with the Salumi. Our main course consisted of Raviolini, and a Tortello. Both were spot on.we gave them 5 stars as well. Dessert held for us a Pistachio Gelato garnish with local honey and pistachios. This was the perfect end to the meal. A subtle and complex Gelato paired extremely well with the local honey. If you have heard of this place you need to go. If you haven't heard of this place you have now. So go, and sit in the bar. Have a cocktail and run the bases on the menu.

Shane Fuhrman

Rocca is hands down one of the best meals you will eat. Food-wise, this place is amazing. They have the flavors and textures you want in a culinary journey. However, when you look at the whole ‘experience’ of Rocca, you will see why this restaurant is on another level from the rest. I cannot recommend the mozzarella cart enough and I just can’t capture the experience in text, so I included pictures. They make it at your table. Then you get the privilege of digging into the luscious heirloom tomatoes and freshly made mozzarella. Then you realize you still have a whole meal to go. The pasta is top notch. The texture of the tortello is like nothing I’ve ever had before. The balance of spice in the agnolotti. You will not be disappointed with anything on the menu. Oh and then there is dessert. Don’t let the gelato fool you into thinking it’s not an exciting dessert menu. The pistachio gelato will ruin every other pistachio dish you ever get when you realize everyone else uses the fake flavoring. They legit make everything from scratch. The burnt cheesecake is equally amazing In all it’s fluffy wonder. Overall, if you can get a reservation here, consider yourself lucky because it’s a ticket on a culinary experience.

Taylor Greer

Delicious, good service, lots of tasty options. I wish their menu rotated more in the pastas for more variety. We’ve been twice now and have tried almost everything that we’ve wanted. Very Italian wine list which is a nice change of pace and some decent buys without a crazy markup. Others that are quite pricey.

Pamela Nguyen

Went here for a friend’s birthday and it was delicious! The dry aged Rohan duck was unexpectedly amazing. It was juicy, tender, has crispy skin and well paired with the gravy and Japanese potatoes. The mozzarella cart was fresh and perfect shareable between 3 people, really worth the experience. The Agnolotti and Mezze Rigatoni were also good - a bit small with regards to portion. Definitely would come back for the duck and mozzarella cart alone.

ddup2727

Best Italian food. Ever. Even up there with what you get in the motherland. Scallop carpaccio was amazing. Had the shrimp spaghetti which was to die for. The bronzino…on point. Don’t forget to try the handmade mozzarella bruschetta. Oh, and they have an awesome wine list. Can’t go wrong here. We will be back. Over and over. Yum.

Angel WC

Love love love this restaurant! The mozzarella salad made fresh table side is a must. Cocktails were delicious. We had so many dishes, but the standout was the duck, it was perfect!!!

Kyra Williams

Just to be clear I am only giving 4 stars so google maps doesn’t recommend Italian food for me because it’s not my thing. With that said, this place deserves 5 stars. The service was phenomenal. I went with my gf’s and we split a bunch of things. The beef tartare was excellent. The mozzarella cart was also delicious. We got two pasta dishes which I don’t care about pasta, and Bronzino but I hate Bronzino. If you like Italian it’s great, that’s just not my thing.

Simonne Valdez

My first visit of many. Everything we had was on point. So many flavors and the service was great too! 🤤💭 here’s what we got 👇 (Yes, I thought there’d be a soft yolk in there 🙈) ✨ TORTELLO all’ UOVO egg yolk center, ricotta filling, roasted and shaved mushrooms ✨ HIRAMASA CARPACCIO green apple, capers, horseradish, nasturtium ✨ MOZZARELLA CART heirloom tomato, basil, 10 year aged balsamic vinegar (worth it) Dessert(s) not pictured: 🍨 Pistachio Gelato 🍋 Lemon Tart Check out the table side caprese cart experience at @hereforthef00d Instagram

Mark

The service was 10/10. The portions were small and it was a long wait for food on a Tuesday night. The cheese cart presentation was cool to watch. The guy who did it was knowledgeable and fun. Fairly limited menu.

Gal U

Wow wow wow ! That’s what I have to say about this place. On the spot homemade mozzarella cheese probably was my favorite, but everything there just yummy!! Very recommended.

Sonja Rosario

The service is fantastic, they provide clean silverware for every plate, and clean your table frequently. Vibe is modern with a casual chic flare. We ordered the mozzarella cart for the freshest caprese salad ever. For dinner we had the raviolini del plan(so amazing, definitely order) and girelle al forno (just okay... heavy taste of spinach, i wouldn't order again), and for dessert the pistachio gelato (the honey and sea salt make this extra special). Great spot to catch up with friends or for a nice date.

Nina N T

Wonderful staff, and service! The acoustics in this restaurant is perfect, not too loud or quiet. I enjoyed the beautiful plates, and plants that added color to the ambiance as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the mozzarella cart— it was much better than I expected! Also, please do yourself a favor and try the ‘Children of the Corn’ drink. I was not that impressed with what I chose as an entree, that everyone seems to choose (TAGLIOLINI al RAGU), overall I would come again!

Travis Cox

A wonderfully pleasant atmosphere and staff. The service was impeccable. The Bistecca was amazing as well as the Tagliolini Al Ragu! This will easily become Tampa favorite.

Renzo Castillo

I can't recommend this place enough. Mike, our server, was on point with all the finer points of service and all of the food, from the starters all the way to the awesome dessert (chocolate tart), everything was top notch. Will definitely visit again, and I highly suggest that you do as well

Kelly S

Such an amazing meal! We got the whole roasted branzino - which was fall off the bones good. The crudo was also tasty! We ordered all of the deserts- highly recommend the panna cotta!

Holly Morawski

A must try when in Tampa, even though I only went for drinks and the Mozzarella Cart, all of their food looked delicious . That mozzarella was spot on, from the presentation Bobbie gave us which was the BEST, down to the flavor and the service the bartenders gave us. Everyone was amazing and I will definitely be back.

Jovan Milakovic

This place is definitely one of the best restaurants in Tampa area, service was amazing, food was delicious, great for eye and tasty, went there with family and friends for birthday celebration and they really took care of us.

Nicole Villanueva

One of the best restaurants in Tampa! The atmosphere, the design, the music, the food, the colors… Everything was beyond sophisticated & beautiful. Expensive, but worth it. Basil custard is to die for!!!

Michele Young

Excellent! Got to have the Mozarella Bar. Delicious and fresh made at your table. Cool decor and friendly staff. Also have a room in the back basically in the kitchen for parties. Gnocchi, very good, pasta with eggplant good and pistachio Gelato was good!

Paige

Wow! What a great experience! The hostesses were so friendly and accommodating! Our waiter was so knowledgeable about the menu too! We had the bread, little gem salad, and the Zabaione! HAVE to try! I do wish the bread served was only focaccia (just personal preference). We shared the Tortello pasta as well and it was delicious! For dessert we had the Lemon Tart and the pistachio gelato which was so good! We got extra to go! We can’t wait to visit again and try more things on the menu!

Hillary Steele

Absolutely outstanding! The service was impeccable. The bread and mozzarella cart could be the best things I have ever eaten. The burnt cheesecake... to.die.for. I cannot wait to go back.

Pipin

The place is very Chic and the decor is contemporary but cozy. Service is awesome. The food really good. Off course, the home made mozzarella is a unique experience. The pasta amazing. Totally recommend it.

Josephine Schaaf

Fabulous experience. From the ambiance, to the service to the amazingly delectable dishes. Incredible! The mozzarella cart is a MUST! The only negative, which really isn't one, is the parking. No valet parking, so my husband had to drop me off or my Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos would have been ruined from the dirt parking lot. But not a big deal. =)

Eric Pourmand

Went here on a weeknight around 7PM and didn’t have a reservation as their reservation system is mostly booked out for a few weeks- very difficult to get one esp. for tables over 4 people. Lucky for us, a bar top table was available so we quickly snatched it. The service and ambiance were fantastic. The place is definitely modern and trendy inside (not an old school Italian restaurant at all) and was filled with almost all adults (did not see any children that night). Noise levels are medium I’d say. The place has high ceilings and is very open so noise travels easily. For beginners, I went with a cucumber gimlet (not on the menu). It was delicious. We then started with the “bread” appetizer and mozzarella cart (a must!). Little annoyed bread isn’t included, but the pieces that came out were still warm and delicious esp with the lemon butter. The mozzarella cart is like a show (think: table side guacamole, bananas foster, etc). A server came over with a bowl of cheese curd, added hot water, cut up tomatoes, and then eventually starts pulling the mozzarella and forming it in front of you. He then makes this gorgeous plate of mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, aged balsamic, and olive oil. It was buttery and heavenly. So good. If you have left over bread, go for it… it was devoured quickly. For dinner, I got their taglioni which was perfectly cooked al dente and had a nice flavored ragu sauce. The shareable items intrigued me, I saw the duck which looked amazing, but you need a partner on the same page to order those as the portion sizes are huge! To finish off, we had the burnt cheesecake (they only make 10 slices a night?). It was airy and light. Not super thick and creamy like a New York-style cheesecake. A nice end to a fabulous night of eats. I will definitely be back!

Javi A

Food was 4.5 stars, but service was definitely 5 stars. Brian H was fantastic and everyone was passionate about the food and service. You have to see the table side mozzarella cart at least once. Good tartare, but some of the sauces on the pasta could have more flavor. Worth going for sure, I would come back.

James Belcher

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Angelica was our server. She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and helpful with recommendations. She did a stellar job. The food was spectacular. Our favorite was the maitake mushroom app. A dish that was so beautiful and delicate while being deeply complex it will make you cry. They deserve every bit of recognition from Michelin and more. Will definitely be back. Thanks for an amazing evening!

Allison Wilkins

The cuisine was fabulous. Mozzarella table side was absolutely superb as well as the rigatoni and eggplant appetizer. Our only complaint was the sound and choice of music. It is so incredibly loud you cannot carry on a conversation with your dining partners. We could barely hear the waiter when explaining the menu. The "club music" with heavy base does not match the fine dining experience- so disappointing. It is unfortunate that a restaurant with such excellent fare does not provide the proper ambience to match the cuisine.

Kayla Bush

Absolutely delicious, very attentive staff, and lovely atmosphere. Great selection of wine and tasty cocktails. Highly recommend!

Janelle Vann

This is a special restaurant in Tampa! Amazing food and the very best service around. Highly recommend this great spot.

Bret Mansfield

Went here a couple of months ago before a show at Tampa Theater. It was one of the best meals we ever had. Our waiter was very helpful in guiding us through the menu for our first time giving us great suggestions. All of the food we had came out perfectly, it was a great experience from beginning to end. It took us a long time to try this restaurant and we are so happy we got to finally experience it. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Tampa.

Hrisanthi Loli

The food was fantastic I recommend the table side mozzarella experience. Menu was more limited than I expected.

Tonya Goodrich

This place is amazing! Fresh and clean ingredients...and the mozzarella cart is not to be missed! The branzino was the best I've had. Lena took great care of us. Makes quite a difference to go to a chef-owned restaurant. Bravo!

Jason Bartos

Probably the best restaurant in the Tampa Bay area currently. Expensive but worth it for a nice celebration. The duck is out of this world and the table side mozzarella is beyond delicious. Both are well portioned for a group of 4 (or leftovers if just a group of 2).

Oscar Arias

This place was happening! We just walked in and fortunately found a place at the bar. The staff was very nice and all were wearing masks. We had a very enjoyable meal. I would recommend the bread and the salad to start. The salad is big enough to share and is delicious! We skipped on the mozzarella, bit it looked amazing, a bit too much for two, but maybe we'll try it with a bigger group. We also had a couple of pasta dishes followed by some gelato and the lemon tart. I didn't get a picture of the bread nor salad because we were just hungry! This is definitely a place to come back to!

Manoswini Mallick

Rocca is probably one of the best restaurants in Florida and it definitely tops my charts! Mozzarella Platter and Gnocchi still lingers on my taste buds. The décor is aesthetically done. I love it!

Angela Badell

Food was delicious and the mozzarella cart never disappoints but it can be a bit loud.

Heidi Morales-Hake

My new FAVORITE restaurant in Tampa! Everything exceeded my expectations. The food, staff, and service were all 5-star, and I can't wait to go back and try everything I did not get to try the first time! Highly recommend making reservations well in advance.

Matthew Cerullo

Best dining experience we’ve had in a long time. Service got off to a bit of a slow start but their team more than recovered from it. All 5 dishes were fantastic, the bartender nailed our drinks, service was excellent.

K

Nov 2022 menu. Wow. Just wow. I was anticipating our dinner here and everything exceeded my expectations. We had the bread (you get 2 pieces of focaccia and 2 sourdough), pork arrosticini, salumi, and shrimp fritti to start. I ordered the tagliolini al ragu and my fiancé ordered the agnolotti. Both entrees are the most popular and they are so delicious. The angolotti has a mild kick, but nothing very intense. For dessert, we had the pistachio ice cream and cheesecake. This will definitely be our "go-to" place for pasta in Tampa. I need to cross the bridge so that's saying a lot. I do wish the drinks were delivered a little bit faster. Otherwise, food and service were awesome!

Amber

Always an amazing experience and a great spot for date night. The mozzarella cart is awesome and all entrees I have tried at Rocca have been delicious.

Monica Rivera

Everything was delicious, from the appetizer to the desserts. Our server was Justin, he is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great service.

Felix J. Coriano

Elegant atmosphere,delicious food and exepcional customer services.

Sarah Kirk

Had a wonderful dinner with my wife and mother here. Surpassed my expectations and was easily a top 5 meal of the year. Would recommend.

Sunshine Zenko

Have heard such good things about this place. I surprised my husband and took him here for dinner. We LOVED it. The food was delicious and it was decently priced. We can’t wait to go back for another date night! Espresso martini for dessert was so delicious.

alex brovenick

Table side Mozzarella was a nice treat. With such a limited menu just expected a little more from the Pasta dishes.

Alex Harding

The food was unique, exciting and superbly prepaired. The service was personal but very efficient. When I asked for suggestions on wine, spirits and food, they were spot on. I Will return.

Jarrod Lord

Had our first visit to Rocca. It was a 5 star experience for sure! The main entrees are for sharing and we would recommend getting the fish! Start your meal with the Mozzarella cart, it’s outstanding!! We enjoyed the meatballs and spaghetti Ragu, they were both tasty! Our experience at the chefs table in the kitchen was great, it just added to the experience.

Eviliska Natali

I wouldn't like to make an "expert" opinion, I am not italian, but ... overpriced. A small portion of pasta without protein costs 26-30 dollars...

Cortney Buckelew

My husband and I came for our anniversary and it was fantastic. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I will say that our particular server was very unfriendly and seemed like he did not want to be there, but the rest of the staff was extremely courteous. We ordered the mozzarella cart which I still cannot stop talking about. It was so delicious. The person doing the presentation of the mozzarella was very friendly and gave us a lot of interesting information while we watched her make the plate. We can't wait to go back and try some other dishes!

Kent Love

Outstanding. Very easy to see why it was recently awarded a Bib Gourmand by Michelin. Fresh pasta, fresh ingredients, beautiful presentations and a very good value. Even though the milk curds were from New Jersey :) the tableside mozzarella presentation was fun to watch and delicious on the palate. Kudos for using locally sourced heirloom tomatoes. Service and staff were on point without being pretentious. I would recommend a family style approach to the menu with several appetizers and entrees for a broad exposure to the offerings. I've been fortunate to eat at several Michelin rated restaurants of all levels and without exception I enjoy the Bib Gourmand and "recommended" establishments just as much as those with 3 stars. Yes, there's nothing like a 3 star experience every now and then but for every day dining, give me places like Rocca any day. They are more relaxed, accessible, cheaper and the food never disappoints. Tampa needs more places like Rocca.

Dan Cannon

Had the pleasure of dinning here on a Sunday night!! Was greated by Andrew and staff upon entering. Our server had great recomendations. We loved the shrimp appetizer. It was delicious!!! Then the table side mozzarella and basil were incredible. We followed up with three pasta dishes. All of which were excellent! It is a small restaurant but would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a great Italian dinner!

VNLA ICE

Mama’s meat sauce was good! They make it in the chef’s mama’s basement right here in Tampa.

Elaine Singleton

We had a wonderful evening , fantastic food and the “Officina” is a great way to understand the inner working of the kitchen and the food preparation techniques. Andrew, the host, is a total pro ! Sully, our server, was amazing , a wonderful gentleman,, my only disappointment was the absence of Chef Bryce while eating in his kitchen and no interaction from his chefs on duty that night who could have greeted our large group with thoughts on the techniques used in food preparation and service. Thanks Andrew and Sully for a great evening and Chef Bryce, you should be very proud of these 2 Pros! All the best Rocca team! Hope to meet you Chef Bryce, next time! Elaine

kevin johnson

I suggest trying the roasted fall vegetables with zabaglione but, make sure to order bread service to soak it all up, don’t be a rookie a** b****

Dodanim Figueredo

This restaurant recently received the Bib Gourmand Award from Michelin Guide, I visited and did not disappointed me, I most say the award is well deserved! excellent food, fresh pasta, excellent service, good atmosphere, I will certainly come back

Julius Melero

I can see why this received Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation! Very good food! Service was phenomenal. Price about as expected.

Kelley Harvest

This is some of the best food in Tampa Bay. And some of the best service, too. It's quickly become one of my favorite restaurants of all-time.

PJ Deusenberry

Food was good but way overpriced. First time I paid to have bread at an Italian restaurant ($6 for 2 pieces of toasted bread & 2 pieces of foccaccia).

Charbel Sakr

Great table side mozzarella salad. Pasta made in house perfectly cooked. Calamari are some of the best I've had

Juan Naranjo

The food and service are exceptional, however, the ambience just doesn't fit the bill. I thought I was in for a night of great food and romance on my date night, but instead the music was so loud I had to scream. I get they're trying to attract a young crowd but in my humble opinion this level of fine food deserves a more tranquil setting.

Anna Mattingly

Best food in Tampa hands down! From presentation, service and the flavor of the food 👌🏼 every time I eat at Rocca I fall in love over and over! Always consistent and you will always leave satisfied and full. Also… best espresso martini in the area!

Erik Orr

We made reservations for two on my birthday & were left very unimpressed. Granted it was a Saturday night, but we got stuck in the back corner near the bar. Ok, I can understand that on a busy night. Then it took almost 15 minutes for anyone to greet us. After long waits between visits to our table, we realized that our ‘server’ was actually a bartender. The drinks were good, the appetizers were great, but the main course was not very good. I understand that restaurants are understaffed, but we made reservations & got stuck with an overwhelmed bartender. I can’t fault him too much though, because he was doing his best with the 5 tables I counted plus the bar! This is all on management. We might give it another try on a weeknight, but I think there are much better options for the price.

Lauren Bebeau

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant and their staff is fantastic! They exceeded all expectations and beyond. It's my father's birthday and I managed to speak with the incredibly talented and nice people there- in order to have a great bottle of wine for them- while paying for GA. I can't wait until the next time we're back in FL- We'll definitely be ordering Mozarella Plate!! Thank you so very much!👍💯❤

Chris Foyt

Came down from Fargo to experience Tampa and was brought here by a friend. Hands down the best Italian food I have ever had in my life. Vibe of the restaurant was on point, servers were so professional, and bar was top tier. This is it, this is the place. You all got something real special here.

Roberto Martinez

Phenomenal! Beautiful decor, just right. Service excellent! What I expect from a 5 star restaurant. Food again phenomenal. My wife and I will be coming back often . And not to forget, excellent wine selection, very very good.

Kaitlyn Duke

Dining at Rocca is always a great experience, but this time was unforgettable. We had a group of 9 celebrating two birthdays. We were able to reserve the chef's table which is actually inside of the kitchen. It was amazing to watch the chef and cooks in action. They were quiet and focused, and the energy was calm like a professional kitchen should be. Chef Bryce created a tasting menu for us and we unanimously agreed that it was one of the best meals we've ever had. Mind you - most of us work in fine dining and have enjoyed exquisite meals around the world so that is saying a lot! Course after course was perfection on a plate. Simple yet high quality ingredients were thoughtfully put together to bring out the best flavors, which is what great Italian cuisine is all about. Cocktails were amazing and the wine list has excellent selections that are very fairly priced. Andrew and Sully were so attentive and always anticipating our needs. We never had to ask for a single thing! Rocca is easily the best Italian restaurant in Tampa Bay.

Doug Hess

Had dinner at Rocca with a friend. The food was excellent, but portion sizes were very disappointing, especially for the price. Service and atmosphere were both average, but nothing memorable. Overall it was an enjoyable meal, but it did little to stand out among the many great restaurants it its price range nearby.

Shannon Anderson

AMAZING! You will have to try the mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes, to DIE for

J SCH

Amazing meal, amazing wine and bourbon collection The best Italian meal I've had in a very, very long time. Maybe even all time,certainly top three. Certainly exceeded our expectations would recommend it to anyone.

Juan Miguel Espinal

Excellent food, good service, but the music was too loud I was expecting more Italy relaxing music.

Bela Blue

I was there a couple days ago with my husband , we did not have a reservation, but they told us to wait 30 minutes and we did , and they sat us dawn in the bar , so why wait a lot of time to be sit down in the bar , ok I ordered food , spaghetti with a shrimp only 4 shrimp, I thought I was missing something, and it was to much butter in the food . The service is good the guys made a good job. Is a beautiful place .

Segua “Philohypnos” Coniglio

Fantastic. The food is insane. Mozzarella is wicked. Had the Ravolini. Balanced.

Brittany Stolzenberg

The location is interesting, but the food was amazing! The restaurant itself is VERY loud as they need more materials to absorb the sound, but the food made it worth it. Tableside mozzarella is AMAZING! Ever other dish we ordered was very good as well. We didn't try anything we didn't like. Highly recommend for great food.

Tanya Lawrence

Excellent service and fare. Wine pairings were thoughtful as well.

Evan Gainey

The duck was sensational. I can’t say more about it other than the fact that it was served by a handsome boy named Sam. Shout out to you Sam.

Lauren Latham

From start to finish, this was one of the best meal experiences that I have had in Tampa in a while. From the table made mozzarella, to the owner grown herbs and veggies, to the in-house desserts, it was such a delightful experience. You have to get the Mozzarella Cart. It is a bit pricey for an appetizer but so worth it and there WILL be leftovers.

Chad Moodie

The duck is to die for. Hands down the best dish in all of Tampa. I’ve now been twice and each time it has exceeded my expectations. The mozzarella cart is a wonderful experience and the aged balsamic is exquisite. It’s in a perfect location with a warming atmosphere. The servers have both welcoming and helpful both times, and also express their appreciation and craft of the chef. They definitely care about your evening and always pay attention to details

Todd S

One of Tampa’s best restaurants, may even end up with a Michelin star. Great service, strong menu, good fee/vibe, nice cocktail list, kitchen executes quickly and effectively. Don’t miss the tableside mozzarella (pricy but worth the experience) and the bread with butter in olive oil. If there are no resos just show up at the bar right when they open and you should be able to get in!

Allison Borrelli

Our experience at Rocca was split. All the food was good besides the pasta with winter black truffle and butter. I order dishes made with black truffle wherever it is available. I have been looking forward to this dish for over a month and turned out to be a total disappointment. The truffle used was old and did not have the truffle flavor or aroma at all. Basically paid $40 for a dish that tasted like buttered noodles with some flavorless black shavings on the top. How the chef did not recognize this and served it anyways is disappointing. But the good things were: The mozzarella cart was amazing and I definitely recommend. The waitress was absolutely amazing and probably one of the best waitresses I’ve had in a long time. Definitely only recommend going for drinks and apps.

Vincent Impreveduto

Rocca is my favorite restaurant in Tampa. Food and service is consistently excellent; hear some favorites of mine: pasta is always excellent (my favorite is the del plin), table side made mozzarella platter is excellent (mozzarella is made at table, consistently great, and tomatoes, herbs, and seasonings create an extraordinary plate), the 126 day aged rib eye American raised wagyu is a must have if it is a special (best piece of meat on the planet), bar tenders and employees remain attentive to their customers, and clean forks come to the table every time one is done eating a plate. This place is a must try, and I am sure every plate is of the same excellent quality I speak of.

Haley Folta

Everything we ate was absolutely fabulous! But our server Kaitlyn (or Katelyn?) G was especially wonderful!!! She made our night :) We were there for my graduation and she made it so special and was very attentive and had great suggestions on how much to order for our party size. 10/10 service! She also happened to be from my same hometown all the way in CA! so cool!! And as everyone says, the mozz cart is amazing. but so is the Branzino!! And every pasta... its all amazing honestly. haha

Jack Townsend

Fun evening celebrating a friends birthday with Great wine! Great food! & Great Service! We will return for calamari, caprice & table side mozzarella, as well as the homemade pastas. Mozza-Man made table side Mozzarella that was delicious! Sully was terrific server, he was friendly, attentive & knowledgeable.

DeRoshia Milton

We have been waiting for them to reopen. Amazing service and delicious enteees.

Corey Roth

We went to Rocca on recommendation of several people we have met. We've been there twice now and we have enjoyed it each time. Rocca is not very big so you'll need a reservation and you may need it a few weeks in advance so plan ahead. The menu is relatively small, but it packs a lot of flavor. For the appetizers, the bread and the crudo are amazing. For pasta dishes, go with the Gnocchi with speck or the pasta with Australian winter truffles. If they still have the duck, you should get it. It takes the longest to prepare so order it early while they still have it. They have a good wine selection including some unique finds, so you can't go wrong. We also had the negroni. If you like the bitterness in a cocktail, it's pretty good. Parking in this area is always difficult so give yourself some extra time to find a place to park.

chris Wilson

Food was amazing. Get the table side mozzarella! Service was great. They even have gluten sensitive options for most of the pasta. We will be going back!

Natalia morino

One of the best restaurants in Tampa. Everything was really good. The server was really nice and food came out quick. The environment is really cool and I loved the interior design choices. The food blew out our minds. The mozzarella cart is def a must! We ordered the gnocchis, the spaghetti and the tortello. For dessert we had the lemon tart and the pistachio ice cream.

Brittany Personal

Having been in the industry for years, I am a bar sitter, and this bar is the heart of the restaurant. The bar staff has friendly local faces and can make a killer Negroni. Great atmosphere, wine line and menu; not super extensive which is perfect! The little gem salad is arguably the best salad I’ve ever had. Not overly complex- but a beautiful medley of flavor and texture. If a salad can just tell me that, wait until you get to the rest of the menu. ;)

Lindsay Ingraham

What an incredible experience. Our server, Sully was so very kind, attentive, and fantastically knowledgeable. A nod to Ian for his enthusiasm in helping us choose! The atmosphere is hip and the restaurant is gorgeous. And the food. THE FOOD! So delectable. My family and I can’t wait to come back! Thanks a million for a lovely time!

Robert Ong

Our experience here was incredible! Dwayne, our waiter was so good and the consummate gentleman waiting on our every need. We tried as much as we could humanly eat from the starters, the wines, and the excellent pasta. Our BASIL CUSTARD dessert paired with the suggested vin santo, casa di monte, tuscany 2002 was sensational! We tried the beet salad, crudo, ZABAIONE “DA FELICIN” fall vegetables, saffron, 30 month parmigiano, and lamb skewers, and the pasta dish we had the RAVIOLINI del PLIN veal filling, demi glace, sage . Andrew Harris, the sommelier and GM was excellent and enjoyed meeting him. Ambiance was great and even the bread that we ordered was fresh and perfect with olive oil and butter that mixed perfectly. Will definitely be back!

Kathy Osting Kwiecinski

We went to the restaurant to enjoy a few appetizers and the mozzarella cart. We ordered the prosciutto and calamari. The calamari with the fried jalapenos was very good and would order again. The prosciutto was nothing out of the ordinary. The mozzarella cart was unique. We told the waitress from the start that we probably were going to just order appetizers and the mozzarella with drinks because we don't eat really heavy at dinner time. She asked us three times what we were going to order for the pasta/entree. I felt obligated to order an entree. We ordered the spaghetti and shrimp. Once again the taste and presentation was nothing out of the ordinary. The only reason why I would go back is if guests were in town and we would order the mozzarella cart.

Farah Leitner

We had 4 appetizers, a salad, the mozzarella with tomatoes, the fish, the steak, and the duck. Everything was delicious!

Desiree Tatum

We were fortunate to sit at the chef's table this evening, our guest and I were able to sample a variety of the menu we were truly blown away by the service and the exquisite cuisine prepared to perfection. We we highly recommend for a wonderful evening out.

Trey Everett

Absolutely amazing authentic Italian food. Waiters are knowledgeable, if you need advice on wine they have you covered. Recommend it to anyone asking where they should go for dinner. Ambiance is wonderful. Great experience from start to stop each of the three times I’ve gone in parties of 3 to 10.

debbie hall

Tonight I enjoyed the best-outside Italy-Italian dinner! The octopus appetizer was tender and creative . But the best was the Branzino! Well worth the price. It also serves two easily. The fish was perfectly cooked, the skin crispy and delicious and the rest of the plate fabulous. I am in love with this chef! The wait staff and bartender were top notch also.

Jeff Reese

Food and service are great. Mozzarella cart really needs three people if you plan to eat dinner after but I'd recommend it. Calamari is simple and amazing. Be advised that it is small inside so you may not be able to social distance and they don't seem to be requiring masks while patrons move around.

Cecilia Fanning Mitchell

Delightful place. Anyone visiting must request the mozzarella plate, they make it right in front of the table. A great culinary experience. The eggplant appetizer is a work of art!

Robert H

. Pasta and mozzarella cart were great. I’ve eaten at french laundry, Alinea etc and with that in perspective it was an excellent evening with good value.

Kevin Elder

Absolutely brilliant! Clean, fresh interior space looking out at Armature works/ downtown. Friendly, helpful wait staff. Mozzarella cart is awesome and fun. If you are looking for excellent flavors and a memorable evening this is the place.

Lee Miller

The best pasta in the area.......

Sundea Larocca

I would give 5 stars but server suggested the chef wanted the whole order in at once and they would pace it. I felt like the entree was rushed. Food was amazing, service, great, and the lemon butter and sourdough bread amazing.

Mr Moetown

My wife and I Celebrated our 13 anniversary today at Rocca! My cousin recommended this place and let me tell you…Our server Ian was great…the food was delicious, we had the escolar starter that was awesome and the aged duck for main course. Try it if it’s available. Burnt cheesecake with peaches and cinnamon gelato with plantains for dessert was very good.

La-Kota Holt

That was a phenomenal experience and eating great food was the cherry on top. Although no actual cherries were harmed in the making of this evening, the service was impeccable, predictive, absent during deep conversation, and promptly present at all the right times. We even, unawarely, shut the place down being so caught up in our own little world. The place was completely empty as we were leaving, but the remaining staff (all 20+) insisted we weren’t the last keeping them there. It was an evening I will look forward to somewhat repeating. Just not keeping them past closing time. That’s just being a Dickson.

Matthew Groezinger

I'm torn. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was phenomenal. The food was forgettable though. Nothing really "wowed" me. Especially for the premium price. I probably won't be back but I hope the food get's better. I would rather go to Meat Market.

Daniel Laukaitis

Great place to take someone for celebration. It's a little bit too loud in there and need some sound buffering. The food is very very expensive but it is a celebration type of place

Whitney Lohr - Florida Living Group - Realtor

So good. Handmade mozzarella tableside! Plates are best to be shared.

michael vitka

Quite possibly the best bread Ive ever had in florida, the cheese app is a must. the bisteca is to die for. The burnt cheese cake really brings the house down. I will never not come by when in Tampa. Top five in the city, easy.

Tampa Pete

Food and drink....5 massively huge stars! HEY Bartenders.....would it kill you both to get out of your "to cool for school" worlds and smile!!! Dudes, you are in a very social job that pays pretty well without the back pain of ditch digging....give it a try!

Ric Rini

The fresh pasta was delicious and cooked perfectly (slight al dente) . Another patron ordered the TORTELLO all’ UOVO egg yolk center, ricotta filling, roasted and shaved mushrooms and it was also very rich with abundant flyovers. They have an expansive wine list and craft artesian style cocktails. This place gets crowded and is popular so reservations are highly recommended even on "off" nights..

Garrett Nestle

Rocca is one of my new favorite restaurants, every aspect of my dining experience was flawless. Not sure how there are any other reviews less than five stars. I wish I could rate this establishment higher than five stars because it’s well deserving as each dish served more than exceeded expectations.

Fallon Goodman

Probably the best Italian you’ll get in Tampa. I’m from northern NJ and hail from an Italian family, so my bar expectations are ruined for life, but this place does the trick. Go with their homemade pastas (they’re all solid, tho I like their ragu best). The mozzarella cart is a must. Their raw apps are top notch. If you’re feeling adventurous in your pasta journey, go with the tortello (egg yolk center). Sidenote: Rocca put together special care packages during initial COVID lockdown and their lasagna, red sauce, and bread were our lifesaver.

Michael F

Great night out, service on point, food was great.

Rebecca Foster

We recently tried Rocca's take-out menu and it was outstanding. My family and I had been to the restaurant prior to the stay-at-home order and loved it. We weren't sure if the to-go items would prove to be the same caliber, but it far surpassed our expectations. We had the homemade lasagna, broccolini and chocolate hazelnut sorbet. I truly enjoyed every bite and would highly recommend to any one who is looking for a fresh and delicious take out option during the quarantine.

Kelly Gierhart

I haven't written a review in a long long time so my apologies... but I HAD to make proclamations of joy about this restaurant. I went with a friend and we tried multiple of the cocktails, as well as the plantain sherry. Each one was better than the last. The martini is like an entire meal, yet also delicate. The daiquir was unique and delicious. My favorite was the Amaro milk punch (with cognac no less)! It was like a dessert in a cup without being cloyingly sweet. For a diabetic, it's heaven in a fancy glass. Next time I'm hitting that Rye N Apples. As for the food, we tried the Cacio y Pepe. It was truly some of the best pasta I've had. Perfect texture. Perfect sauce. Perfect balance between the two. I am impatient to go back despite the hour drive from the beach. It will be a "must" on the list for visiting guests once the world allows for travel again.

Sarah Bootcheck

This place is truly spectacular. The food, the ambiance and the people are what make it. Shout out to Mike, an excellent, hilarious, and knowledgeable server. Dwayne, the cheese wizard. And Sam, the maker of some of the best cocktails in Tampa!

Brian

Let me tell this place is absolutely a gem! I've lived all over florida and this restaurant has hands down taken the cake when it comes to hospitality and flavor! Authentic Italian flavors with a modern twist! Don't pass this restaurant up when in the Tampa area!

Rachel Baillargeon

OMG! So good. Staff is so friendly and service is amazing there. Get the mozzarella cart!!!

Michael Piraino

Make no mistake, this place can be expensive. But the flexibility I felt from this place after I sprung this choice to my family w/o knowing the price was unforgettable. Definitely seems like a much more personal place and while the atmosphere could be loud I felt way more comfortable here compared to other high-end places.

Mike Theodore

This is my favorite restaurant in all of Tampa! I have NEVER been disappointed!

Rebecca Mangual

So enjoyable! Food was delicious, service great!

Eric Turman

Great Food, Great Wine and Great Service! Share the tableside mozzarella to start, share the steak to finish and pick your own pasta. True Itialan Style!!!

Sasha

This was the best dining experience of my life. All the servers we interacted with gave top tier service. The food left me speechless. I just honestly don't know what else to say other than you must try it.

Michael Hendershot

We LOVED Rocca! This was such an amazing experience for our 6-person group. We shared so many appetizers amongst our group, and everything was made perfectly. Can't wait to come back here!

Jimmy Gro

We had an amazing time. The mozarella cart is such a great experience in combination with the bread plate :)

Amazing!!! Bday dinner with friends at bar…from food to service…top notch. It is all the hype and more.

Steven Cooper

First timer, awesome experience!

Rebecca Gleason

Overall the food is fabulous and chef if doing a great job with that!! The service is where I mark the three stars. This was our second visit to Rocca and we’ve been disappointed by service both times. Our waiter interrupted the table side mozzarella to ask about wine and when we said maybe in a bit he made a weird comment as he walked away. Towards the end of the meal, we were finishing the fish fish and he came by no less than 6 times to ask if we were done and we were far from being the last people in the restaurant. So it’s great food at Rocca but don’t go for the overall experience you’ll be disappointed.

KiKi

My son is very familiar with this restaurant and ordered for the table…. like shareables so we could sample everything. …and everything was amazing! They make mozzarella cheese at the table! We in Tampa are fortunate to have so many fine dining options…. Rocca is at the very top of that list!

It was exquisite and we will be returning shortly. We recommend this place to everyone to see the beautiful Alexis. (Original) Avons essayé ce restaurant suggéré par notre ami Yanni.
