| - Big fan of Rocco's whether it's for Pizza, Pasta, or a little Spumoni.
I'm not an Italian food aficionado. I dig a Mama Celeste frozen pizza almost as much as a bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo from the dearly missed Don Antonio's. So, don't quote me on authenticity, I like what tastes good, and sometimes it's flash frozen mozzarella cheese.
I've enjoyed everything I've ever eaten at Rocco's. I'd say that hands down, my favorite item on the menu is the Vodka pasta with rigatoni. Mama mia it's so freaking good. The sauce is creamy, but not too thick. You get a massively generous portion size - probably enough for 2 hungry people to split. They always give you a really good hunk of italian bread, which is critical for dipping purposes.
They also offer pizza by the slice all the time. Pretty rare outside of a food court Sbarro at the mall (do they even have those anymore?). Pizza is thin, toppings are typically generous. Really good pizza.
If you have a little bit of a sweet tooth they have a slew of gelato options, including one of my fav's Spumoni. Not the easiest flavor to find, and it's only good once in a blue moon, but I really liked it when I had it here. I'm not sure if this is something Rocco's does themselves or if they use another company. Nonetheless, it was good. They also had several traditional flavors.
Rocco's is pretty close to my house, and when I'm in the mood for a pasta dish it's always the first place I think of. I always call in my order and it's ready when I get there, so I'm in and out inside 2 minutes. Super convenient and the staff is always super friendly.
