    Rocco’s had been a mainstay for our family in San Francisco for the last almost 16 years. However with the recent change of ownership, it’s no longer the same. Menu favorites have been either removed or reworked (and not for the better). Prices have increased significantly for lesser quality food. We went on a Sunday for brunch and were shocked by the lack of patronage and energy in a restaurant that was always bustling before. All in all— disappointed and saddened by the changes. We will just have to remember what Rocco’s used to be….

    Nostalgic photos all over the walls, very interesting of days gone by. Large portions, lively, great spot for breakfast and lunch. Staff and service were very good.

    Good food but not great. Very friendly staff, nice vibe. Let us sit and talk for a long time without rushing us, which was great. Big portions, lots of vegetarian options.

    This restaurant is AMAZING!!! Extremely good value...I would have been happy paying more! The quality of the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. The chef/owner came out for a chat and our table was well taken care of. We had a person with strict dietary restrictions and they made sure she had options available to suit her needs. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Reliable, excellent dining. Took my spouse there, upon request, in order to get his favorite meal. I also have a favorite meal (Clams!) and as usual, a perfect result. Delicious flavor that stayed with us for several hours after our dining ended. We'll be back again very soon.
