Pizza was horrible. No flavor. Garlic bread was poorly made. Like a 5 year old was told to make it.

Not even close to real italian food. Salad with Italian dressing had way too much black pepper put on it, pasta came out cold (pretty sure pasta was not made in house, if not it wasn’t fresh but frozen and thawed). Staff was nice enough but nothing special. Asked for recommended wines and waiter had no idea about wines. This was just mediocre. Not worth the money.

We went here for a birthday celebration, with eight people. There weren't many people in (we went early) and our waiter was wonderful, giving suggestions when asked. They bring warm bread to start, with olive oil and parm on the table. The olive oil isn't seasoned, for those who like that. Bread is delicious. We had appetizers of caprese salad, vesuvio fries and bruschetta. Portions were pretty good. Bruschetta is excellent, great flavor and large tomato and cheese topping. Caprese was also good. The fries were not, coated in some kind of gravy/oil and very salty. Our entrees ranged from the vodka rigatoni (both GF and regular), seafood paella, gnocchi (outstanding), salad and clams. Everything was great, although the Caesar salad comes dressed with a LOT of dressing. They bring out a dessert tray for you to choose and have several choices. Almost everyone got the limoncello dessert and loved it. This might be the best I've ever had. We also had the death by chocolate and the carrot cake, which were also great.Vegetarian options: There are a lot of vegetarian choices and they are good about taking meat out of a dish when possible.Dietary restrictions: They offer to switch pasta dishes for gluten free pasta for a $3 upcharge. The GF rigatoni vodka was really good. The GF options are clearly noted on the menu.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu and they are always friendly with the kids (ages 7 and 9).

We have dined here a number of times, but not in the last year or so. It took a bit for us to get our drinks. The bread was served with the cheese bottle in the basket. The salad came quickly and was tasty. We didn't see our server again until we got our entrées. By that time, we were waiting for some time to order another drink. One of our entrees, the short rib linguine, was very salty. Could hardly eat it. The other entree, penne speziato, was very good. Not sure we'll be back again.

RoccoVino's - Orland ParkWent out with another couple for an evening out.What fell short was the actual meals itself. An order of chicken caprese was one meal. It was bland and came out looking like an overcooked kiev and never hit the mark from the description. Two orders of lobster ravioli were ordered. Those came to the table covered in what looked like and tasted of velveeta cheese. The actual ravioli's did not taste of lobster but a foul fish flavor. Neither finished their meal after eating only one ravioli. The last meal was encrusted salmon that was over fried, which then dried out the salmon. As an appetizer, baked clams were ordered. Undercooked and no flavor.What saved the evening was our waiter, Curtis, and his backup for filling water glasses rocked. Both were outstanding with customer service and being very attentive. The special on Martinis for the evening also helped.Unfortunately, we will not return nor recommend. The chef needs help or another job! It was also apparent that others wereexperiencing the same situation.

I had the worst meal of my life at RoccoVinos. This is my third time there, and I've never had a good meal there. I was invited by friends, and that's the place they picked, so there I was again for a bad meal for the third time. I ordered the chicken crabviola. The description was as follows: egg battered, topped with crabmeat, asparagus and brandy tomato-creme sauce. Thinking that I was going to eat healthy, I asked for the sauce on the side. What I was served was two pieces of (badly) breaded chicken on a place of plain spaghetti. On the side was a large cereal bowl filled with nasty tomato sauce with crabmeat from a can that smelled awful. They had cut up the asparagus and put that in the bowl. The dish smelled and tasted horrible. I had the taste of it in my mouth for hours. The waitress noticed that I hadn't touched my meal and asked me what was wrong. I told her how awful it was, and she was nice enough to take my dish off the bill. This is my last visit to this restaurant, but I truly hope that they improve their recipes.

I have always loved the food and ambiance at this restaurant. Unfortunately this most likely be my last time dining at this establishment. In my opinion their 10% additional fee on top of their menu prices was a little shady. I didn't even know this was happening until receiving the bill. When I questioned it I was told it was on the menu. This was the case but it was in small print. I would almost rather have them have raised the prices on the menu instead of doing it the way they do. Sorry I value my money and when I feel like I am being tricked I get a sour taste in my mouth. I won't take the quality of their food away but the prices are getting a little out of control.
My short beef ribs was more like pot roast, and it was too salty so I had to send it back. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was delicious. I compliment the manager for his customer service and our waiter Courtney was great. Would go back again.
