Rocco's Plum Tomato is a yummy Italian spot I always love to experience and devour food at when I am down in the Annex.
Therefore, I DISAGREE with what the person who wrote the other review about Rocco before.
I find Rocco's menu to have a large selection of Italian favourites and I find that the prices are reasonable. The only time you may find the prices are higher is if you are ordering off of their seasonal specials menu.
A huge thing that has impressed me every time I have dined there is the service and the happiness just glowing off of all the staff members. Also, the staff know Rocco's food well and are always helpful in suggesting great eats for the guests.
As for my experience with their food - it has been great!
Here are some personal faves of mine:
- Shrimp and Scallop Penne, which is done up with spinach and mixed up in a great rose sauce ($16)
- Chicken Linguini, which is done up with red peppers, diced chicken and topped in a garlic cream sauce ($14)
- Stuff Chicken, filled with cheeses and veggies and served with a side caesar or mixed greens ($18)
- Gnocchi, chewy to perfection and flavoured up with their rose sauce and goat cheese ($14)
I admit that I am obsessed with the pastas here but I have tried bites of friend's pizzas and they were yummy too so I know those are great to order.
Overall, Rocco's Plum Tomato has a great selection, good prices and tons of character with its Italian's interior!
