Rocca

The first time I came here was March 2020 for my dad’s birthday. This review is for 2023 after their Michelin star ⭐️ We ate at the chefs table in the kitchen. Service was great and attentive. We ordered: Bread (10/10) Mozzarella cart (10/10) (amazing mozzarella texture) Pork skewers (8/10) (too fatty) Steak and potatoes (10/10) (the potatoes were insane!!!) Rigatoni (10/10) (best sauce ever) Crab spaghetti (8/10) Apple desert (6/10) Olive oil cake (7/10) Highly recommend this place for group, date, special occasion, or even just dinner. SO good and 10/10 all around.

Okay, so I recently had the privilege of dining at Rocca, and let me tell you, it's next level. This place rocks a Michelin star, and it totally deserves every bit of it. The whole experience was a flavor journey, starting with that bread and lemon butter – I mean, mouthwatering doesn't even cut it. And don't even think about skipping the mozzarella cart; it's a bit much for two, but trust me, it's worth it. Everything I've tried there has been sheer perfection. If you ever get the chance, you've gotta check it out. Seriously, don't miss it!

Delightful food and ambiance. Our waiter was wonderfully knowledgeable and steered us in the direction of a wine we ended up loving! We weren’t sure what to expect since the restaurant isn’t similar to the other Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to. Rocca is approachable and modern, hip and current. The food was delicious — we can’t wait to return!

This was my first experience at Rocca Tampa .The first of many.I can see why they have a well deserved Michelin star.From the moment we walked in to the moment we left everything was perfection.The hostess’ were sweet ,kind and even seated us early.We we seated in a perfect table in the corner . It is absolutely beautiful in there . our server wowed us from the moment she arrived.Nimah was absolute perfection .I love great food which it was but even better was great service. She was knowledgable ,kind and attentive.Not just to us but every table around us.I was bummed to learn the grilled olive martini was no longer available ,but I did enjoy a dirty martini 🍸. I also ordered the Low and Sloe at her suggestion ,I am not a typical gin drinker and it was divine. The bread service was life changing .I learned you can order double focaccia .I’ll be doing that next time . The table side mozzarella cart was wonderful.The presentation is fun and engaging but the dish was top notch.Full of flavor Kumamoto tomatoes,fresh basil .Just amazing. I had the gnocchi with brown butter,Brussel sprouts leaves ,garlic cream foam ,trout roe and even a potato chip garnish. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth .The agnolotti with salami was delicious but definitely on the spicy side . I skipped dessert this time.I did save room for there home made boozy eggnog ..Yumm. The entire experience was Fantabulous .The food was great but Nimah’s service was even better if that is possible.I can not wait for my next visit and exploring this divine seasonal menu .I love love love supporting local .Check out Rocca soon if you have not ,you will love it .
