Rocca Tampa Reviews from The Last Year
Overhyped.
Bread, blue crab lemon spaghetti and dry aged steak carpaccio were delicious. Mozzarella cart not worth it. It was nothing special. The dry aged Rohan duck was also not worth it, taste was mediocre and dry. Burnt cheesecake was pretty tasteless. Would go back to try the other pastas but overall not impressed.
Had a great birthday dinner here.
Awesome ambiance. The wine selection is good but the martinis were amazing. Can't wait to go back.
Super delicious!!!! I loved the mezcal & pepper drink.
Cant remember what it was called. The mozzarella cart was absolutely amazing. 15/10. The squid ink pasta with lobster was fab!
Definitely a Michelin star worthy restaurant.
Make sure you make a reservation in advance because they book up quickly. We did the mozzarella cart experience which is pricey but delicious. It was also cool to see how they make it, the warm mozzarella caught me off guard but was yummy. Both pastas I tried were tasty but my favorite was the spaghetti al limone - really light and fresh. For the dessert, the pistachio gelato ice cream was devine. The service was exceptional, our waitress was really attentive and had great attention to detail. They also have a great selection of wines and after drinker drinks. Definitely will be back!
Absolutely amazing.
My mom was visiting so of course I had to take her to one of the best restaurants in Tampa. The service was 10/10 every little detail was addressed. Even our napkins, someone would come and fold it for us when they see it on the table. Everyone was super friendly and easy to talk to. Everything that ordered was absolutely delicious. The Mozzarella cart is a must, not your typical caprese salad. The RAVIOLINI Del PLIN was spot on perfection. If I'm nitpicking I would say that the honey in the Pistachio Gelato was not needed also the orange marmalade was a bit too sweet for me. However, it was still one of the best olive oil cakes and pistachio gelatos that I've ever tried. I was notified in the end that everything is made in house. So, props to the chef and his team for maintaining the consistency between each dish, I love that. Overall, I 100% recommend.
The food was really really good.
I loved the SPAGHETTI Al LIMONE. Can't go wrong with butter, crab and pasta. The service was really really really good, such a great experience! The lighting & overall ambiance of Rocca is very elegant and a great atmosphere for date night!
Truly exceptional!!! So deserving of their Michelin star.
The only place I have been that might have better Italian food is in Italy. Everything was impeccably prepared and presented. From the drinks, to the bread (all home made), the pasta and dessert. It truly felt well executed, well balanced and delicious. Love that they use a lot of local ingredients and make almost everything in house. The service was good and attentive. The restaurant is nice and modern, clean. The mozzarella cart is a must. Nice tableside show and you can't get fresher mozzarella. The tomatoes are from Plant City (local) and have never tasted better. The basil is from the chef's mom's garden. The truffle pasta is outstanding. I still think of it. So simple yet So tasty. Highly recommend!
Almost perfect
Wish I could give more than 4 stars - cannot based on my experience. The good - great front of the house on an extremely busy Wednesday 8 PM, got seated promptly. The quality of the food was AMAZING. The bread - sourdough and focaccia - excellent. The tequila cocktail was Ok - wish it was less sweet. The park skewers, carpaccio and the salad were excellent. The main - Wagyu ribeye needs to be served anything but near raw. The quality of Wagyu was better than the other Michelin star in Tampa when it's on their menu. The service was lacking at the kitchen level - long pause/s. Our server was great, somehow don't remember being asked on the cook on the Wagyu - would not have mattered, I go with chef's recommendation. When I visit again, I will be proactive, This was my third visit - other two were prior to them having the star. Solid place. Would recommend.
Love their food and our server was great! Will be coming
Love their food and our server was great! Will be coming back! Expreso martini wasn't the best, but the food made everything worth it.
Every time I go to Rocca I'm impressed.
Besides the fact that I'm obsessed with the ambiance and lighting inside, the dishes and experience is consistently great. We tried some new starters this time. The dry aged steak carpaccio was so fresh you could really tell the quality. The mushroom mix underneath paired with it so well. We also tried the Ora king salmon crudo which I believe is a new item. This dish looked like art and tasted like it too. The salmon was fatty and not fishy whatsoever. Super tender and the mirage of flavors does a dance in your mouth. This really impressed me. For dinner we shared the spaghetti Al limone which is a a lemony crab pasta that we get every time. It's always great- so light and fresh. They had lamb chops on on special for the night so we went for it being big lamb chop fans. Wow this blew us away. They table side pour the sauce one the dish comes out. It's two large chops and they were cooked perfectly medium. The Japanese sweet potato on the side was amazing as well. I would try to order this while they'll running this dish because it's probably my favorite I've had here. As always the service was great, they brought out a cute birthday dessert for my boyfriend as well. Drinks are always good too! Of course- we'll be back.
Amazing
Rocca absolutely merits its Michelin star rating. Started off with the mozzarella cart, where they make the cheese fresh at your tableside - aside from the entertaining show of this process, the end result is an absolutely delicious caprese salad. The agnolotti with spicy pork and ricotta filling was the best pasta dish I've had in decades, no exaggeration. The spaghetti with blue crab and lemon sauce was light and refreshing, with a very generous amount of crab. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I can wholeheartedly recommend Rocca without hesitation!
Misleading with Michelin quality
Misleading people with Michellin quality . Feels like at grandma dinnerly. Bread ($6) was to salty and buttery. Carpaccio was so-so, nothing especially . When you order meal remember they share it with all people on the table . We ordered veal ravioli ( no meat inside at all , just spinach and cheese) and veal shank ( they share it also), sauce is bad , everything SOUR, no good taste . There are much better restaurants in Tampa . We won’t go back and don’t recommend to our friends .
Wowwww!! I have no words, there was not a single thing here
Wowwww!! I have no words, there was not a single thing here I thought was just OK... Everything was excellent from the food to the service , I can't believe I wanted this long to come here. Definitely a must if you're in the area!
Salty food ruins the experience
The whole experience at Rocca was underwhelming and disappointing. Still, the quality of food was superior than most local restaurants. We ordered one pasta dish, the tortello, and it was excellent. The branzino was very salty but the spices and seasoning were very good. Too much salt ruined the experience. Ambience was pretty average. It felt crowded and noisy. Staff and service were also very average.
Maybe the most pleasant fine dining experience we have had.
A colleague from Tampa recommended Rocca and I plan to email her a big Thank You! The entire experience was delightful (other than getting a parking ticket). The food was spectacular and our waiter (Taylor) was top notch, as were all the serving staff. We love the atmosphere/ambience. Taylor was a sommelier in training and helped us select a lovely wine to enjoy with dinner. He also recommended various dishes on the menu and explained how they were made from the bread to the shiitake mushroom wraps. Parking is a challenge, however. The ParkMobile app is required unless you pay at the machine on the curb (which wasn't working). We couldn't get the app to work for us either so we risked it and lost - $30. I'm going to appeal it). A wonderful evening overall!
Excellent experience
Spectacular service and dishes. The table side mozzarella is a treat but best for a group of 3 or more. We had a family of 5 and all the dishes were all well prepared. We normally do not order desserts but made an exception here and really glad we did. Few desserts top the pistachio gelato. Highly recommend giving Rocco a try, but make sure you have a reservation.
Excellent food, smaller portions but enough
Overall great food. The table side Mozarella is not to be missed. Smaller servings but equally tasty. We tried everything on the menu and nothing disappointed. The wine list was stellar and the sommelier was a great help.
Rocca continues to get it right!
Rocca continues to deliver, we booked the Oficina (table in the kitchen) for my husbands birthday and it’s always such a great and unique experience. We had 7 people in our party, but the table seats up to 8. Love the new appetizers on the menu right now, the fancy prosciutto and melon is a current favorite (it has an Italian name that IDR but choose the one with melon in the description haha). The little gem salad was a crowd favorite of course. Agnolotti is our personal favorite pasta, we also love the Ragu and the Tortello. The duck is the best duck we have ever had, and you’d be better off never ordering it because it will ruin all other duck for you - JK - order it, it’s worth never having duck anywhere else. The bombolini dessert was our fav but it’s not on the menu right now, hoping they bring that back. The basil custard is a light and lovely option!
Superb start to finish
Rocca is superb. From start to finish, there were no disappointments in any of the dishes we tried. There were some major surprises - in a good way. The mozzarella is a must and hits like no other. We tried the new eggplant and cucumber appetizer and I wasn’t super excited. Holy cow! It was incredible. From old faves to new items, every bite was awesome. Had to end with the burnt cheesecake which is so so good. Service was great, it’s friendly and warm which I enjoy. Another great meal there.
Life-changing
Amazing food. Table side mozz is life changing. Great environment for date night

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Virtual Name & Email on reservation
Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
