What an awesome neighborhood restaurant. Our community needed something like this. Very friendly staff. The risotto balls were our favorite. Can't wait to go back again.

This was our first time here and the food was wonderful. We had the risotto the deep dish pizza and the bigoli all’s puttanesca. The homemade pasta what a bonus. The only thing I would change is there was no Parmesan cheese on the pasta. We can’t wait to come back

We are so happy to have this wonderful restaurant in our neighborhood! We had the arancini appetizer which we will definitely order again - that smoked mozzarella & red pepper sauce were so good! The Caesar salad has a delicious balsamic Caesar dressing. For entrees, we had the vegetarian lasagne & the strozzapreti alla diavola - both excellent & perfectly prepared. The homemade pasta was so delicious I could have eaten it plain, but the sauces were superb & not to be missed! The panna cotta was amazing, so creamy & not too sweet. You need to check out this gem, I highly recommend it! We will definitely be back to try the pizza…and probably everything else on the menu!

The hostess was awesome, extremely friendly & nice. Waiter was not very knowledgeable of the menu yet, I’m sure that will come with time. Service was slow but we expected that too as just being opened for a minute. All these things can & will improve in due time. LOVED the food, every dish was delicious. Tried apps, salad & entrees & LOVED every dish. We so need a good neighborhood eatery & your restaurant will definitely be ours. It’s family friendly, great atmosphere & food is awesome. Loved all the color changes in the restaurant…glad it’s not red & white everywhere like a lot of Italian places, it’s more unique. Looking forward to returning very soon. Best of luck to you!

Seems insincere to give all 10 but honestly they were deserved. They really know what they are doing and while the vibe is casual the effort going into the food quality is 5 star. We needed a place that could hang with the dining of Downtown but out in the neighborhood. Will be back and will be bringing friends. It’s a our new goto spot.

Other than wanting more seasoning on the wings. Everything was wonderful! They were great just wanted more of the lemon rosemary flavor. All of the appetizers were great. We loved the Caesar and beet salads. Perfectly balanced and light. The thin crust 4 cheese pizza was spectacular. My favorite entrée was the shrimp risotto followed by the eggplant. You guys did a wonderful job!!

The food was delicious! Highly recommend the Sicilian Pan crust. It is buttery and chewy, but not too doughy. The Fresh Burrata Salad with beets is definitely on the repeat list, and the homemade Fettuccini Pasta Alla Bolognese did not disappoint. The pasta was prepared perfectly and the Bolognese sauce was fresh and savory.

Food was good for price point, we were over charged for wine - charged at the more expensive rate than what we requested. Overall a enjoyable evening and we will return.

The calzone was very tasty as well as the garlic bread. We also ordered the Italian Sandwich which we did not like as well. The place has been nicely renovated and is an addition to the neighborhood. We plan to return.

We really enjoyed the evening - food was very good & service from Keri was great. I wish the kids meals came with a small side. It looks very much like the last restaurant - wish it had a little more ambiance but it’ll be fine for a family spot, maybe not for a date night or girls night without the kids. We’re glad you’re here!

It‘s great to have something like this in the neighborhood. We will definitely be coming back. We didn’t love having a table right next to the kitchen door with lots of traffic coming in and out, but the food was very good.

Everything was great! Our food was wonderful - we ordered the Coloradan Pizza and it was so good. The only thing to note was that the menu said it was made with marinara sauce; however, ours was made with a white sauce. We have no complaints though, it just caught us off-guard, but it was still delicious. The service was good - a little chaotic and a little slow, but that will improve as the staff gains more experience. We are thrilled to have you in the neighborhood and will probably become frequent guests. Congratulations!

We enjoyed it. Strozzapreti Alla Diavola could have used more sauce and sausage and peppers, Lasagna was fabulous and the Scampi Risotto good. Loved the garlic bread and truffle chip dip. We'll be back. Service was excellent!

Hello Roca's team! What a wonderful first night experience. As with any restaurant the first night is a lot of work. Service was slow as expected. The staff could not have been more friendly! The breadsticks, pizza, calamari, wine, chopped salad, and burrata salad were to die for! The shrimp risotto and vodka pasta have amazing potential, but were far too salty to eat. Those are easy improvements! We can't wait to come back soon and try and everything else!!!

Pizza was excellent. Burrata salad was overdressed, stomping on the cheese. Our waiter David seemed overwhelmed and was not getting good support from bussers (menus and dirty dishes left, request for water forgotten by busser). Staff was friendly and working hard, but could use some tightening up.

Overall, good experience. We had been used to Front Room and wanted to try this new place out. Have lived in the area 20 years so want a place to go that is easy and affordable. A couple suggestions…. Please update the bathrooms. They have been the same for 20 years and it would be nice to have an update and clean bathrooms. The salad bar is very expensive for what you are offering. Please add cottage cheese or macaroni salad as well. And beets. You have to have a bit more than what Front Room had…either that or bring down the price a few dollars. Not sure if you have ala crate options like meatballs or sausage, but that would be good. Otherwise, welcome to the neighborhood and we will be back to check things out again. Traci and Keith Endres
