Food is solid. Popular and busy place. The front of house is run loudly and with force. Go along for the ride or there’s friction. Oddly poured our wine away from the table. How do I know it’s the bottle I bought.
Absolutely excellent! Provided a wonderful Thanksgiving meal & to-go at that! So much thought, care & talent goes into their food! The chef is simply fantastic! 10/10 absolutely recommend!
By far, the most amazing dinner I've had in ages.. Christmas Eve, crazy busy, I had the escargot, prime rib and a couple of martinis. The service was amazing... and they were slammed, and the food was out of this world! Even the mashed potatoes were over the top! No need for salt or pepper, everything was seasoned to perfection.. they even brought me a box to rest my feet on since I was at the bar, honestly, above and beyond anything I could've imagined. Show this place some love whenever you're in town, you won't regret it!
This is my second time coming to Roccos, and a few months since my first visit.
The first time I was at Roccos, I was the first customer of the day. Belle greeted my table and was just the SWEETEST girl I've ever met. Her service was actually impeccable and that's hard to come across. We enjoyed escargot and pasta dishes which were so great.
The most recent time I was there was last week. They were absolutely slammed packed in the place (great sign!) and they truly were on top of everything. We ordered the escargot again because it is honestly phenomenal. Again, so flavorful and such a delicate dish. They really know how to make this dish specifically and the flavor is insane.
We ordered risotto aurora for our main course. It's HUGE. my husband and I split and it was still a lot of food. The flavor in the risotto dish itself is explosive. The garnishing was spot on, and it was truly a burst of flavor in your mouth.
Let's also not forget about the tres leches cake belles mama makes. I don't even like dessert but my mouth waters for this. BEAUTIFULLY DONE. 10/10 grab a piece of this before you leave.
Great table service. The wait staff moves effortlessly and seems like they are all 100% on the same page. Being in the industry myself, we see restaurants that are missing out on this aspect of our dining experiences. Whatever they're doing to coach their employees, we all need to take notes!
Belle & Rocco, you truly out did yourselves again. I cannot wait to come back and have the pleasure of dining with you guys.
We ordered an arugula salad, escargot, the seafood pasta, and the risotto aurora. All of the food was great and reasonably priced. The salad was very fresh and the escargot was delish! Nice people.
Wow.
It's one thing to eat great food. It's totally nother to eat great food and have GREAT SERVICE.
This place is special.
Our server Paco Blito was excellent. Constantly checking in on us and sharing stories and quick anecdotes while still bouncing around front table to bar checking in on everyone's happiness.
It made the place feel like home. Even though we'd never been before.
We drank the Jalapeño Margherita, and the raspberry lemon drop.
We ate the escargot and the burrata first. Both were exceptional.
And THEN we had the Salmon Linguini, which my boyfriend adored, and I ate the Pasta e Vongole (clams) with red sauce.
Man OH MAN.
I was sleepy from being at the beach all day when we walked in, and I woke up real quick when I started eating the pasta. It filled my mouth with the sweet and salty flavors of home (italy) and the sea.
The portions are huge. And I took some leftovers home. My red vongole pasta was JUST as good the next day if not even better.
I tell ya.
This place is hard to beat.
Even their concept is cool. Latin European fusion.
I should know. I'm Cuban Italian.
And I APPROVE.
GO!

4 stars only because the ropa vieja came with a weird rice and no plátanos but everything else was great and the service was exceptional.!
Great food and service. The paella and scallops wrapped in bacon were delicious. The tiramisu was a great ending to a wonderful experience.
Food was good but nothing that I would crave later or would have to go back and get... the noodles in my pasta were good and homemade according to the server. Vodka sauce was good.
Escargot- you get a great portion.. not much flavor in the sauce.
Had the canoli for dessert..good crisp shell. Filling was the same you find most places , not homemade filling.
Service was great ! They took really good care of us. Would go back for cocktails and ambiance.
Holy deliciousness!!! Freshest food!!! Mouthwatering in every way. Definitely dine in. You want it fresh and hot! It didn’t disappoint and our service was incredible !! We ate outside under the shaded umbrellas they provided. Definitely recommend it all!!
Best Restaurant in San Clemente 👌🏾
Food is fresh and soooo flavorful! Very nice and clean environment
Nice spot. First time here. Had the Burrata appetizer to start with and then the Spicy Penne with sausage pasta which was spot on! Will come back.
This place is a local gem. We drove up here from San Diego for dinner. Food and service is impeccable! Everything we ordered knocked it out of the park. The Pappardelle with vodka sauce is SO delicious 😋 also the seafood pasta and the cannolis are amazing 👌🏻 Thanks Rocco for an amazing meal 👏🏻 Can’t wait to come back.
Delicious European style cooking,, light, not heavy, gourmet touch. Reasonably priced food & drinks, just the right ambience. Very attentive waiters. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
A beautiful blend of cultures and flavors. Well worth a visit to this local gem that should not be missed.
