Best pizza in Walnut Creek 8/13/2009

Best pizza in Walnut creek. Can get very busy around diner time especially on weekends. Great staff, great service and the wait time is not too bad. It's fun for the kids because they have a lot of stuff hanging from the ceiling so neat things to look at. more

Rocco's Ristorante Pizzeria 12/26/2008

This pizza parlor is a fun place to go to. They sponsor local sports and you can often find pizza parties in progress. There are a lot of very young and friendly people working there and it's easy to get caught up in the fun atmosphere. The food is good and it's just a great place to meet friends. Parking is in a shopping center and no problem at all. One of our local successes. more

Rocco's Restorant & Pizzeria 10/10/2008

I love the pizza at Rocco's but it's so far for me to go. If you live in the area it is a pizza joint for the entire family. The price has gone up but it is worth paying a little more for. more

Rocco's Ristorante Pizzeria 8/25/2008

A great locally-owned pizza place, where you can get pizza, pasta and salads. A hangout for locals, with many choices, some unusual. You have a choice of crusts, and tons of toppings. The atmosphere is friendly and the prices are good. more

The prices you see are NOT what you get 8/8/2008

We went to Rocco's this evening and we were SHOCKED to see that our bill was more than expected. The pitcher of beer that was listed as $11.50 on the menu came up as $14 on the bill. We also used a coupon to get a Large pizza at the price of a medium pizza yet, on the bill the discount was $0.64 less than it should have been. So we asked to speak to Rocco, and we got the manager. The manager was less than kind to us and told us that the menu was ""subject to change at any time"" which is just outrageous! After about a minute of discussing this, she refused to discuss it anymore and left without resolving our issue. The service at Rocco's has never been good and after this experience I do not plan on ever returning to Rocco's. Pros: The prices look good Cons: They aren't more

Great pizza, can get a big weekend crowd 6/8/2008

You can't find pizza much better than this. They get a big crowd but they know how to handle it. The pizza bread is awesome and I highly recommend any pizza on the menu. A good place to grab a beer too. Pros: Good atmosphere, handle the crowds well, a full bar and great pizza Cons: Crowded on weekends, can be a litte loud more

Horrible Customer Service! 7/30/2007

Five of my family members and I were sick from their pizza! When I called to inform the owner, and he denied it, and I had to fight for a refund, of which I'm not getting the full amount of the meal. He was rude and never offered so much as breath of concern. What poor service! He really didn't care that we were sick. For a family restaurant, the owner sure didn't care that my family got sick. We've been going to his restaurant since it opened, and after that horrible night of the 5 of us being sick and after his apathetic treatment of me on the phone, I warn others of eating there. Food is not good enough to take the risk. more

Nothing Great 7/27/2007

I have to say eating at a huge number of pizza restaurants this was just about the same as everyother. My girlfriend and I had the BBQ Chicken pizza. It had a good taste but not what I was expecting at all. Most places they use BBQ sauce in place of the normal pizza sauce, but on this pizza they use the pizza sauce and use grilled chicken that was raosting in a watered down BBQ sauce. It was diffrent but good. I would have to say if you like to wait a bit for noting special go for this place. Pros: Interesting place Cons: Nothing special about the food more

I haven't tried the pizza, but the pasta dishes are not so good. 2/20/2007

I have been to Rocco's 3 times and have ordered 3 different pasta dishes. Each one is so so. They tend to be way too oily or bland. I guess I really should try the pizza next time. Pros: Never have to wait too long for a table. Cons: Pasta dishes more

Great Italian & Service 2/18/2007

I guess you could say this is an Italian/Sports Bar hybrid restaurant. Everytime I come it's very busy which is a great ambiance booster in my opinion. I could do without the sports bar part of it given the fact that I don't drink nor care for sports but for my friends it's heaven. The food is really tasty especially the pizza! I don't know what they do for the dough but it's second to none. Everyone at Rocco's is always so accomodating and I feel like it's truly my neighborhood Italian restaurant. Pros: Great Pizza, Service, Ambiance Cons: Wait more

Ho-hum food, poor service, loud and overstimulating environment; won't be returning 1/20/2007

My husband and I decided to try this place with our two-year old based on the ""family-friendly"" billing both on citysearch and the restaurant's website. If your idea of ""family-friendly"" means loud, crowded, and bland (at best) food, then this is the place for you. Overall, we were extremely disappointed and won't be returning. Pros: Not really any Cons: Bland food, poor service, too loud more

Amazing Pizza 6/24/2005

Rocco's is a Family-owned operation that has been going for multiple generations. It's a real deal, no phony Italian stuff here, and Rocco is a real person. (He may live on site, it seems like he's always there.) The Pizza is fantastic. Not only is the Italian sausage really fantastic, but even ground beef (a topping I don't generally like) is great. Best place in town for Italian. more
