Ordered the veal special and got the special price $89.00 Swordfish on a bed of spinach for $52 another special price Front desk was very rude which was never like that. They have become over priced and not customer friendly. We will not return“

“Five of us had an excellent dinner with good service. Small to medium place, right in town.

We came on a weeknight and shared some appetizers. Salad, arancini, tomatoes and mozzarella, all excellent. I had the eggplant parmigiana which came with a side of pasta that tasted homemade. The sauce was very good, an important test for any Italian place.

Vegetarian options: Typical for an Italian restaurant. Pasta, eggplant, salads and veggies. Not a huge selection, but two of us were vegetarian and enjoyed our meals.“

“Great owners and clientele!“

“Fast service and great choices for food.“

“This place is excellent and very happy to have it in my town. Very clean and well organized store at affordable prices. Every product in this store is of high quality.i always get the Sicilian pizza slices and a fresh loaf of Scala bread. The cold cuts and homemade Italian sausage and subs made to order are all excellent. Try the meat sauce . Alfredo’s is a winner“

The service is always on point, and it’s a great place for a quiet night out. If you're looking for a spot to relax and enjoy good food with someone special, Café Assisi is the place to be.“

“So glad I trusted the Google reviews and tried Trattoria! Was traveling from Boston to Rhode Island on a work trip with my boss and we stopped here for dinner. WOW! Friendly staff, beautiful restaurant, and absolutely fresh and amazing food! I knew it was going to be good because it was packed on a Wednesday night! Dinner was perfect from the fresh made from scratch bread with oil to the giant meatball appetizer and the delicious pollo Parmesana and pollo Francese! The beautiful dessert selection was the final touch to a very satisfying meal. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m anywhere near the northeast! Molte Grazie!“

“Very attentive staff serving some of the most delicious foods. Thanks to Mario, our amazing Chef and Host for the incredible buffalo mozzarella appetizer! Look forward to coming back. It’s great to have a Restaurant of this caliber in the suburbs!“

“The Greek chicken wrap was amazing! Mainly takeout, small place with a few tables. Nice, clean pizza joint atmosphere, but much better food. A little pricey, but a good value, especially considering that it's in a pricey area.

Parking: Small, free parking lot.“

“I like this restaurant the food is always good but it's just a probably mostly takeout restaurant so they're not investing a lot in atmosphere

Parking: It's just on the street and sometimes Natick offers free parking on the street that usually it's paid meters

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see a wheelchair access entrance it's about four steps up to get in but I expect there's an entrance somewhere“

“It has been several months since I've been here. I've gone to other locations, even their original place in Wellesley.
This location always made us very happy. For several years we would go at least once a week.
I like the atmosphere and the very long table.
Lasagna is my favorite dish here but I saw a review about the meatball sub. Yes, a must.
I think the guy who left, overreacted. Yes the kids talk but not enough to make me leave.
I miss dining here all the time, then heading to Bubbling Brook

Parking: Easy parking“

“Great Italian restaurant I went with the Bolognese and was not disappointed. Was my first time there and I found the service to be great and The handled the large party that we had very efficiently. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area and I am likely to return back..“

“Fabulous authentic food. As good as the North End in Boston and Federal Hill in Providence. Maybe a little noisy but basically warm friendly and inviting.“

“Delicious (pieces of) pizza and foccacia, very tasty! I took a 'small slice' and that was more than enough for lunch for me.
And bread, rolls and Italian products for sale. Couple of places to eat locally. Very sweet service.
Had a delicious lunch!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“My first time ordering from them. The food was good, bacon cheeseburger and fries. On the website it says that you will get fries and coleslaw with any order, but when I got it there was no slaw. I called and the person on the line was very condescending, as if I was lying to get some free slaw. Long story short what I ordered was good, the fries were delicious and the burger hit the right spot. But didn't appreciate not getting what I was promised and treated like a looney when I ask for it.“

“Been stopping by here the last few months since I discovered this gem. Ordered catering for family Easter get together for 14 and could have easily fed 25! Everything was delicious, fresh, and they helped me carry it out to my car. Five stars all around and Thank you, Luca’s!“

“This place is legit! A must try.“

“Without any doubt, 5 out of 5 stars ?!

I recently had one of the most, if not the most, delicious pizzas in my life at Pizza By Rocco in Natick, Mass. Even though it may be considered a hidden gem, I doubt it will be considered a hidden gem for much longer as more and more people hear about it and try the food out for themselves!

Each time I have introduced a friend to Rocco's, every single one of them has said that this is some of the best pizza they've ever had.

The crust has that sweet thin crispy taste, and is cooked to perfection. The sauce always has just the right amount and also has a great taste. The toppings are always fresh, more than generous with the amount given, and expertly balanced. In fact, the pizzas and all of the food items in general are more than generous in terms of how much you're getting. In terms of ambiance, although the store is small it still has an inviting and cozy feel to it, and offers some seating outside. Last but certainly not least, the service is no doubt top shelf service. Everyone here is very friendly, attentive, and lightning-fast with their food preparation. Carol, who takes the orders, legitimately sets the very warm and welcoming tone right away with her effortless affability and enthusiastic aura and smile. Red, the pizza/food maker, is a master at his craft and is very personable too. As one can tell simply by the quality of the food, it is clear to see that Red takes his work seriously and is proficient at his job. All of the people who prepare the food here put their strongest efforts into the process; this is food that is made from a place of sincere love!

Rocco himself is at the shop quite often and he goes above and beyond with regards to looking out for his customers. This aspect was something that truly stood out to me about this place and sets Pizza By Rocco above all the rest for me personally. For example, Rocco is very genuine, and is an incredibly generous person and that generosity spills over into his work. His genuine personality is noticeable right away when you meet him. If a customer has any issue with anything, he makes sure to do whatever it takes to ensure said customer is taken care of and leaves the shop happy and satisfied. Not every store owner makes it a point to do things like that. It just goes to show that Rocco and his fellow workers really care about their customers, which is probably why the store has so many repeat and loyal customers.

The menu has your usual favorites/go-to items, but also has some fun and creative specialty options as well. The Buffalo Chicken thin crust pizza is extremely popular and a must try favorite! One of the specialty options that made a great impression on me was the "Typical Johnny," which can best be described as literally a "Big Mac" on a pizza. The only difference is that the Typical Johnny is even better and tastier than an actual Big Mac!

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Pizza by Rocco for all the pizza lovers out there, and for those who like to support local businesses. I had such a great experience there that I have been back a bunch of times since my first visit. If you come here to try it out, I can guarantee you that you will be coming back for more. It is just *that* good!

Thank you very much Pizza By Rocco for providing me with such a wonderful and extraordinary experience each time I come to your shop! This place is easily one of my favorite places to go. There really is no better pizza around. Keep up the incredible work guys!

“I have a complaint to be made, the chef Orlin Garcia himself, who works at the establishment, said that Mr. Carlos, the owner of Mak's.the kitchen is very dirty, there are a lot of rats, if basic sanitation is improved there, people will run the risk of catching leptospirosis, the snacks are very tasty and very dirty. Max Orlim Garcia's cook brought me a snack, my son-in-law said don't eat it because Mr. Carlos, the owner of the pizzeria, uses leftover food from other people at the table or what's left over As I said, Americans drool with desire for this burger, even though it's leftovers from other tables. He's a dirty and disgusting person, and Orlim himself helps to remake the burgers.“

“Amazing pizza good price and was fresh hot and ready when I picked up. Highly recommend the chicken parm pasta as well.“

“First time here and had one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my life today. It was the chicken, bacon, ranch salad and it was incredible. Enough for three meals, very fresh and cold, huge piece of pita(?) bread with it, and lots of chicken cutlet pieces on top. I wish I had taken a picture of it. Can’t wait to try more menu items!“

“Excellent food. Excellent specials. Caprese salad so fresh. All of the salads are a meal in themselves. Best chicken parm. Best chicken Marsala. Steak tips so tender with garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Bartenders are so friendly and fun. Wait staff are awesome. Get there early. Fills up fast! Tommy and Mollie. Joe and Lori are greatest bartenders. Jocelyn and Jess and Paola are best waitresses“

“We sell so many of these delicious gluten free shells at our shop, The Cannoli Stop, in Concord NH. Our gluten free customers love them!! Best Gluten Free dessert we have! This shell compliments our homemade 36 creamy cannoli fillings! Thank you so much for helping us bring such a delicious treat to our gluten free customers!“

“5 STAR TREATMENT!!! We had my husbands surprise birthday party there last night for 40 guests and it went off without a hitch! Jim the manager went out of his way to check all the little details that make an event special from custom menus to an easel for a sign. The waitstaff was wonderful and accommodating! The food was wonderful and the room was comfortable! Nobody left the party early!!! Thank you Olivadi!“

“The food was just as I remembered“

“I have been eating here for over a decade. It has my favorite food in the world, a buffalo chicken calzone with their unreal blue cheese. The way they make their calzones isn’t like anywhere else and it’s mind blowing how good it is. It’s just over $20 for a large and you get an absurd amount of food and chicken. All the side foods are good and priced well. The service is fast and eating inside isnt bad at all. Absolutely have to try their food bc it’ll be your favorite place by far trust me!“

“I love this place! I am never disappointed!“

“Great food, wonderful staff & reasonable prices.“

“From the time we opened the door to enter the experience was outstanding. We were delt with in a friendly manner, nothing was a problem and staff were clearly greatful of our custom. Server was so friendly and helpful and genuinely wanted us to enjoy out meal and time there. It was 7 years since we visited last as we live in Ireland but we won't leave it as long again. Food was delicious. 6 different dishes and 6 very happy customers. Keep doing what you are doing guys as the food, custom and atmosphere is 10/10 ??“

“My son and I stopped here after his game. We only came chose this one, as it looked empty and tge plan was to get going as quickly as possible. Did we make the right decision. This was the beat pizza we had since moving ro MA 4 years ago. The crust was thin and crispy. The sauce was just sweet enough, and the cheese was perfect!
Our only issue, us that this is 25 mins from our house. We will now have to drive 5 towns away to get the best pizza in MA. But is it worth it? YES!!!“
