Rocco's

Amazing hole in a wall. This is our first time eating in usually we take out. Service was great and the food *chef's kiss*. My faves here are the white pizza and spinach ravioli. If you're lactose, I'm sorry but not really, the ravioli is amazing. We also had the arugula and pear salad which was also good. I recommend calling in advance to see if they are open because their hours are weird or sometimes they are hosting private events. Great place for a date or just a chill night.

An awesome little Italian spot with chill vibes, solid drinks, and flavorful food Parking:There is parking on both street sides of the restaurant. When we arrived the parking was full though. We thought that meant seating would be limited, but it wasn't (there was just one large party that seemed to take up most parking spots). Despite the parking being on the smaller side, it seems like it general is plenty for the size of the restaurant Seating/ambiance:The space is cute and has a lot of natural light from the glass garage door wall. There's several tables inside and there's an outdoor patio as well. The space can get a bit loud since it's pretty small. It wasn't really an issue, but with the larger party there, moments were loud enough to pause our conversations Food/drinks:The espresso martini and the margarita were both amazing ! We also split a bottle of wine at the table. When we arrived, rolls were brought to the table and they were extremely flavorful and delicious! We also had the pasta with chicken - while the pasta was delicious, the chicken was a bit thin and chewy for me. For our table of 4, we split a large salad, the chicken pasta, and a pizza. It was the perfect amount! We then all split a tiramisu as well. Misc:The bathroom is back towards the kitchen. You almost feel like you're walking into the kitchen to go to it. I had a hard time finding it at first despite the space being so small. Overall it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back !

The service is quick and the ambiance is pleasant. The food however leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered the shrimp pasta. The ingredients were fresh but totally lacking flavor. Italian food famously centers around fresh ingredients, especially garlic, but this dish really didn't have much seasoning or flavor at all. I'd try it again but for a drink at the bar, not really for the food.

We ordered to go and pizzas are super fresh and delicious for sure.Place is a little small but have seating outside, dogs are welcome on the patio. Not much of a bar seating. Staff is very attentive and friendly.

Best casual pasta in Houston. Love the chicken parm and chicken piccata. This is my go to order out and last minute dinner place. And they somehow are never too busy. Go!

I had dinner here a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday night while in the area. Yelp drew me here with its current 4.5 star average. There are parking spaces next to the restaurant but those fill up fast so after that it's street parking where you can find it. Rocco's has both covered outdoor and indoor dining and that early evening in August dictated me sitting inside for obvious reasons. When I walked in I could see that they were almost full in their moderate sized dining room that also had a small bar. This building looks like it used to be maybe an auto service store/garage? Not sure about that but immediately I could tell that this was a LOUD restaurant! The acoustics here are nil and I'm glad I was by myself because it would have been difficult to carry on a conversation without screaming. Anyway after being seated and presented the menu I chose the Chicken Marsala for $16. About 10 minutes later the meal arrived along with two complimentary bread rolls that had Parmesan cheese blanketed on top like heavy snow from a New England blizzard. The plate had a large piece of bird with mushrooms and the dark brown Marsala sauce over pasta. I must say this the sauce was very flavorful and one of the better ones that I have had recently. That made this plate of food very good tasting in my opinion and filling. Those crazy looking rolls with with all of that cheese on top were actually pretty good too but made me exceed my cheese quota for that day. I would order this meal again and my table service was attentive on a busy day for them.The waitress apologized about the noise and said Tuesdays were their slowest day and therefore quieter. I would be glad to return if in the area (especially on a Tuesday) and believe this is a good place to eat.

This place has become the gathering well for many in the area especially for dinner. The service is awesome whether you are a party of one or six. It has a very pleasant outdoor sitting, making your meal that much more enjoyable. Definitely a family ambiance. Tip, a large salad can actually be shared by 2-3 people. Highchairs are also available. There is parking but it fills up fast right at 6pm. Location is great if you live in Lindale Park or surrounding neighborhoods. It's nice to see options in my neighborhood.

Kiddo requested pasta so who are we do say no? Kidding we do that all the time. However with the internet out at home we figured let's get out. Handy dandy yelp led us to Rocco's. I'm used to hitting up the area for Mexican. Definitely will be visiting again.The bruschetta was great. The large salad portion was enough for the four of us to share. The garlic rolls fresh from the oven was a nice touch. I had the chicken parm which you could tell was fairly fresh decent size portion. The manicotti had a great amount of cheese. Overall we had a lot great food. My stepson had the kids pizza which was devoured before I could even ask to try. The small space was a nice relaxed feel which welcomed you back without trying. Not the best of areas but you know some things are worth the chance.

Rocco's is a gem! It was a perfect spot for a family of four to have dinner. The staff provided excellent service from the moment we walked in until we left. The fettuccine Alfredo was incredible, it has a nice creamy sauce with a buttery finish. My wife enjoyed the chicken Parmesan which looked as good as Nona used to make. The north side pizza had a great blend of fresh toppings and chorizo and a nice chewy crust. Finished off with a huge slice of chocolate cake, and we had four very happy bellies.

Came here with the bestie for dinner and it was a good choice for a simple night out. Rocco's seats in a neighborhood setting, so it seems like the local place to eat. We chose patio seating for the perfect weather we were having and started with some wine and complimentary bread. OMG!! I would come back just for the bread. The server was really sweet, seemed a little timid but all in all our service was starting off well . We both went with their Margherita Pizza, I've had better but it did serve its purpose with the wine. The night was a success for us we ate, laughed and enjoyed our night out. Thanks Rocco's
