29 Best Italian Restaurants near Rock Tavern

“I believe I can most accurately judge how I like a restaurant's pizza by ordering a plain slice to start. My first time here so that's what I got. A surprisingly great slice of pizzat! The dough/crust is delicious, either the best or tied for best I've ever had. The sauce is excellent as well. The cheese was very tasty and almost tasted like "extra cheese" it was so cheesy... Fresh tasting somehow, I don't think they use mall-cheese (the standard premade "pizza cheese" mix) that many other places around here do. I actually don't like for it to taste like "extra cheese" unless I ask for it but that is being super picky and the only less-than-perfect comment I could possibly say cause this is great pizza!“

“Always a pleasant experience and as a Vegan, regardless of menu stating V or not they always go above and beyond to ensure there's an option for every person. Even so many GF options as wellVegetarian options: Many vegetarian options possible“

“The best pizza I have ever tasted in my life Everything I tried, was delicious“

“Food was excellent, no complaints. Stayed at legoland and picked up, staff was great, prices were super fair. This place checks all the boxes you will not be disappointed ( steak hero was awesome as well). This place takes pride in their business and it shows!“

Our waiter David was very attentive.....kept our drinks full and dirty dishes removed accordingly.Went to the bar after dinner and enjoyed a very good espresso martini.Such a nice evening and we can NOT wait to return!!!“

“We celebrated my brother in law’s birthday here and had to move our reservation by a half hour to 19:30, so glad we did because the place was packed, the wait time may have been longer, they were very busy. We waited for our table at the bar and noticed they had Blanton’s and Bulleit, two of our favorite bourbons :) The rough-hewn ceiling decor reminded me of the old days… with all types of antique kitchen cookware hanging from it, which lends to an old world charm. As appetizers, we ordered the Gnocchi Taleggio; Homemade Gnocchi in Taleggio Cheese - Cream Sauce topped with crunchy walnuts and garnished fresh parsley.Next we were able to customize our Burrata with quality prosciutto, which was a bit thickly sliced, but that’s ok. The Burrata was creamy… yum. Our waitress verbally gave us a vast specials list, Vincent was a bit hesitant (due to past experiences elsewhere) to order the filet mignon because they are not a steakhouse, but our waitress replied they have a butcher in-house ( as well as a pastry chef) that cuts and preps all the meats and she highly recommends it, with that, he decided to give it a try and selected it with a peppercorn sauce.It was a toss up between Venison with mushrooms in a Marsala sauce or Elk with a green peppercorn sauce between Chris and I, lol. Chris ordered the Elk, which turned out to be the best selection, mine (the venison) not so much. I thought the Mushrooms were a bit too dehydrated and the meat had a liver taste and consistency, I took it home. The mashed potatoes had a hint of truffle, but were a little loose. The broccoli was tasty, fresh and crunchy. We celebrated Chris’s Birthday with a tiramisu, our server came out singing Happy birthday, which was really nice. The complimentary bread with sautéed eggplant and herbs was a nice touch as well :)You don’t feel rushed, even though there’s other patrons waiting to be seated.The prices were great for the quality of food. We were treated very well by the staff and they continued to serve us through the night without having to be flagged down. The restaurant gives off vibes as if you’re dining in Italy at a family home.Another plus is there’s Ample parking.“

“I was really hungry and in a rush. The pizza was wonderful and tasty. It wasn’t soft and greasy like other places around. The zapolis was a nice treat afterwards. It was made fresh at that moment nice, soft and warm. It’s a spacious clean establishment this place is a hidden gem in this community. I will certainly return and bring my family.“

“Found this place after some googling and the reviews seemed promising so we decided to give it a try. All of the food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the service was great. All of the staff we interacted with were wonderful.. bartender, waiters, bus boys and possibly an owner/manager were extremely nice. My toddler ended up spilling his water on the floor and even though it was embarrassing for us no one made us feel as if it were a problem or inconvenience. The ambiance was wonderful as it seemed like a place where they have a lot of regulars, so it felt homelike in the best way. We will definitely be back.. (with a spill proof sippy cup!)“

“Just had another small party with food from Littlepops. Everything was wonderful as always!“

“The owner and the young guys working tonight were amazing. My coworkers and I were the only ones in the restaurant and they treated us like we were guests in their house. The pizza with all meats was the best I've had in a long time. When he said that he was gonna put all the meats they had on it, he wasn't lying. And it wasn't too much to where it took away from the consistency with the pizza sauce and crust. Altogether it was great and I would recommend to anyone wanting pizza dining in. And they deliver too!“

“If you are looking for a great slice of Sicilian, this is the place to go! If you are looking for anything other than Sicilian, it's still the place to go! Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area and craving pizza.“

And our twin 5 year old boys we captivated watching the young man make pizza fromScratch. Our 1 boy finished his pizza and his brothers extra slice. So tasty!“

“I usually try different pizzas toppings, so I always eat the same thing. Haven't been disappointed yet. The place is a little dated, but so are most pizza places. If you are going there to eat pizza and not the walls, I would recommend this place to you.“

“Thank you to F&J Pizzeria for the excellent catered food for our employee luncheon! Frank went above and beyond to make it excellent!“

“I was working in Montgomery and ordered sandwiches for me and the guys to be delivered. Everyone loved their sandwich! I personally had the best Italian combo I have had in a long long time! The bread was amazing and there was plenty of meat and cheese inside. When the delivery came, we had ordered some 2 L bottles of soda and asked if they could send some cups. Upon arrival we noticed there were no cups included so the delivery driver went back and got some for us! Great service, and great food!????“

“I’ve held meetings at this location quite a few times. This was the first time I actually sat down and did a full meal. It was absolutely extraordinary go out of their way to make sure that you are attended to.Manager and the whole team go over and above in every aspect, I highly recommend the restaurant it’s become one of my new favorites in this area“

“If you are contemplating ordering take out or are in need of catering, Frankie T's is fabulous!! We ordered BBQ empanadas, pulled pork nacho and cochinita piril!! The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough! Certainly gained a regular customer!“

“I had heard good things, and then read good reviews... but nothing could've prepared me for "The Italliano"!!!! This is one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. THICK, FRESH, and DELICIOUS. I will absolutely be returning and can't wait to try more things. Also, the people working were incredibly friendly, and I got the sense that they take a lot of pride in the great food and service they provide. So glad I came in!!“

“I recently tried out Carlos Cucina in Goshen and was pleasantly surprised by their burgers, which were some of the best I’ve ever had. Despite being known for pizza, their burgers are a standout with juicy, well-seasoned patties and fresh, crisp toppings. The atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and the staff is friendly, making it a great spot for a casual meal. I’ve been here a few times now and it consistently impresses, easily living up to the 5-star rating I’ve given it. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a delicious burger (or pizza)!“

“Went on a very cold day and had a great time. The food, music, and atmosphere were amazing. They have wine and Grappa +. Fav was the seycal blanc / lemon grappa / flatbread / mussels. I am looking forward to another teip when I can enjoy the outside fire pits and grounds“

“Wife and I love the food..expensive but good...low atmosphere rating due to experiencing a strong cleaning chemical smell the past few times we've dined in..gets in your nasal passage and makes it hard to enjoy your food. We are not ever ones to complain but find it disappointing because otherwise love the place.“

“Nice place which seems to have reliable Italian food. For someone just passing through it was a good place to stop. We had 4 main courses and were all fine. The Nona pasta with smashed meatballs listed on the menu just had sliced meatballs which was quite disappointing.Nice modern interior and very good service.“

“Outstanding ambiance and the staff was great. The food was spectacular. An unbelievable positive experience. The cauliflower pizza was to die for and the pasta and garlic bread was superb. They know their food and can prepare to any spice level desired or no spice at all.Vegetarian options: They can customize to your preference.They care about what they cook and customize to your tastes.Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom was ADA friendly“

“Northern nj native here, been on the search for the best pizza in the area for 8 years. Alas...Found it!!! You absolutely need to order the Grandma pie from Goshen Pizza Tomato Pie, it is phenomenal. Also, I use them for catering often and everyone always raves. Their penne vodka and sausage and peppers are also chefs kiss. Great, friendly service as well. Adore this place“

“What a great place. Went with a large group and had great service. Food was outstanding. From apps to dinner everything was really good. Sad part no room for dessert. Oh wait, Took canolas for desert to go. And they were very good. Will be back for sure.“

“Wonderful! We tried 3 different pizza places and this one was our favorite! Getting into the parking lot was a bit tricky but worth it! We got a slice each and some garlic knots, fresh and flavorful. The restaurant and bathrooms were super clean! Definitely stopping again next time we're nearby!“
