Rocca - (Near Tampa, FL)

5 /5 Amy Li: This restaurant truly stands up to its Michelin star status. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We reserved the dry aged Rohan duck ahead of time and it did not disappoint. The lemon spaghetti with blue crab had perfect texture on the spaghetti and creamy citrus flavor. Our dinner was topped off with a satisfying chocolate expresso custard.

5 /5 Liana Buck: We had a great experience at Rocca. Service was solid from start to finish, and our server Jeff was amazing. We ordered the mozzarella cart, bread service, two cocktails, the Agnolotti, Spaghetti al Limone, the steak, and the apple tart. The mozzarella cart was really good and the cocktails were great. Bread was fine. The Agnolotti was absolutely spectacular and easily the standout of the night. The Spaghetti al Limone was delicious. The steak was just okay and a bit tough for wagyu, but the green beans that came with it were outstanding. We took the apple tart to go and it was pretty average. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back, especially for the pasta.

5 /5 Ana Figueroa: From the service to the food, Rocca proves exactly why it holds a Michelin Star. From the moment we walked in, the service was impressive. The host greeted us right away and promptly seated us at our table. Our waiter, Jayden, was amazing. Everything we asked for, he delivered and he made sure we got the best options that fit our criteria. We also appreciated that he was knowledgeable about what items were halal and knew the menu inside and out. We started with the bread service the butter was soft, flavorful, and so good. The Broccolini was one of our favorites of the night and exceeded our expectations. The caramelized sweet potatoes were perfectly paired with the cream, and the broccolini with its sauce came together beautifully. We followed that with the Tagliolini Al Ragu pasta, which was also great, and then the Bistecca. The meat was incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and the salsa verde complemented it perfectly. To finish, we had the Ricotta Gelato. It was so smooth, and the guava sauce was delicious you couldn’t even taste the cheese in the ice cream! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.

5 /5 Bryan Holmes: The food was excellent. Service was generally attentive. Prices were high but reasonable for the food, which was surprisingly filling for a high end restaurant. The mixed drinks and liquor selection was excellent and reasonably priced. The wine selection was extensive, but expensive. It was somewhat loud and the music selection seemed to be rap oldies, which clashed a bit with the ambiance. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.
