I’m embarrassed I’ve lived in South Bend for 25 years and have never been to Rocco’s! Amazing pizza. Great house salad. Excellent service from our waitress! The place was spotless and the old school ambiance was awesome.Parking: Adjacent parking lot has plenty of space and is well lit.

My friend and I love pizza, and the pizza we had at the Rocco's was the best we have ever had!
The best Italian lasagna and pizza ever! The service was outstanding. No wonder it gets crowded!!

My son and I drove to ND where our daughter attends ND Law School. We have always wanted to check this Rocco's Restaurant out; however, a lot of the time we arrive on Sunday and they are not open on Sunday. The first thing that I noticed is the availability of parking near the front door. Being young and able to walk, we parked in the cyclone fenced parking lot right next door. We were immediately given a booth seat on the far side of the room. Our waited greeted us before I had my overcoat off and offered us a drink. Cecilia was very special and worked diligently for the next hour taking care of our needs. She brought us the drinks promptly and asked if we were going to dine in or take an order to go. We told her both and proceeded to order a cheese pizza for dining at Rocco's and then we placed a large order to go. The medium size cheese pizza. We received it in about 12 minutes. It was placed on an elevated stand and made it a lot easier for everyone to grab a slice of this delicious pizza from Rocco's Restaurant. Alexis ordered a side of Marinara Sauce for her dinner on Sunday night that she was going to have with Pasta. We ordered for Geri; Penne Pasta and side of two meatballs. We also ordered some garlic toast and a slice of cheese cake. I ordered Julia's .Salad; it was a great salad. I also ordered Baked Lasagna. The food met our expectations and exceeded our anticipation. I would highly recommend this very cleaned and friendly place to eat. They thanked us for visiting as we walked out.

Not from here so no bias there. Nice people, love the atmosphere they're attentive but I wasn't really into the pizza which blew my mind after hearing so many wonderful things about it. Nothing in particular, just not for me sorry. I still hope they're always around because they have a loyal following here.

I recently dined at Rocco’s Restaurant and left utterly disappointed. While the servers were friendly and attentive, the food quality left much to be desired. The pizza I ordered was undercooked and soggy, making it nearly inedible.To make matters worse, during the meal, the server accidentally spilled wine all over my shirt. While accidents happen, what truly shocked me was the lack of concern from the owner. Not only did they fail to offer an apology, but they also seemed indifferent to the situation altogether.Overall, the combination of undercooked pizza and lackluster customer service makes Rocco’s Pizzeria a place I won’t return to anytime soon. If you’re looking for a satisfying dining experience, I suggest exploring other options.

The service and food are outstanding. We had a salad, meatball and small pizza. Everything was very good at a reasonable price. The only thing better than the food was the service. We will be back

Service is great! Five stars! Food was so so. The thing that I was not happy was that they didn't honor their menu price and told me they did update the menu. I ordered Linguine with Mushrooms, the menu listed $14.75, but when I got the billed, it's $16.95. I asked the sever, she told me they didn't update their menu, and didn't honor what their menu offered. To me this is false advertising!
My favorite Italian restaurant in South Bend. Their homemade Italian salad dressing is outstanding (and they sell it for you to take home!). I love their cheese ravioli with marinara sauce and the freshly baked bread. Friendly, kind staff and great value.

First time here. We were sitted immediately by a very friendly staff. The service and food were wonderful. The staff is great! Very friendly, smiling, and always checking to see if you need anything. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much for a wonderful date night experience.

Family owned for generations. Best pizza in town. Owners make you feel like you are family. Best old jukebox in town. If you come to South Bend it's a must.Kid-friendliness: Family owned and kid friendly.
