" Enjoyed another fantastic meal at Ruoccos the other night. It does get busy, so I would recommend making reservations in advance. The appetizers such as the calamari and ricotta meatballs are a perfect way to start the meal! I opted for the seafood risotto this time, and I was thrilled with how decadent it was. The blending of flavors was spot on, and you can taste the quality they put into their dishes. The atmosphere was bright and cheerful, not overly noisy for a family restaurant. I couldn't leave without dessert, so I ordered the chocolate cake, which was a rich treat. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to share my thoughts about Ruoccos after my recent visit there with my family. Firstly, the place has wonderful decor, charming and clean! Our server was very friendly and gave us insights into the menu. We tried a variety of appetizers like the crispy calamari and the meatball special, both were consistently delicious. I opted for the lobster ravioli as my main dish – probably one of the best choices I could have made! It was topped with a light creamy sauce and had ample lobster filling. The only downside would be that, as it’s BYOB, it would be nice if they offered their own wine selection. Overall, this has become one of my go-to places for Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had dinner at Ruoccos for the first time last week, and it was delightful! The service was prompt and friendly, making us feel at home. For appetizers, we opted for the meatballs and calamari, which had just the right amount of seasoning. My wife ordered the chicken Francese and I went for the baked ziti, both dishes were hearty and delicious! The only downside was that we felt slightly rushed toward the end of the meal since they were closing soon. But overall, a great experience with a cozy vibe and delicious food. We'll definitely return and recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ruoccos with friends recently, and I was amazed by how authentic and delicious their Italian food is! The spaghetti and meatballs were flavorful and had a home-cooked feel like grandma used to make. The family atmosphere was a highlight too; everyone was very warm and welcoming. Although it was a bit crowded that night, the service still remained attentive. I would recommend trying their cannoli for dessert—it’s homemade and just divine! Overall a fantastic experience; I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my anniversary at Ruoccos, and it was nothing short of spectacular! Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and our server quickly made us feel at home. For appetizers, we had the fried calamari and the stuffed mushrooms, both were phenomenal! For our main course, I ordered the lobster ravioli, which was rich and flavorful, while my partner had the chicken parmesan, which came with a generous portion of pasta. To end the evening, we savored the homemade tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet finale to our meal. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for fantastic Italian cuisine and great service! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a hidden gem that serves delicious Italian food, Ruoccos is the place! My family and I found this restaurant on a whim and were absolutely blown away by the food. We shared several appetizers including the meatballs and calamari, both of which were cooked to perfection. For my main dish, I had the special of the day – a crab-stuffed halibut that was simply divine. The fish was flaky and had great flavor, complemented beautifully by the risotto. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. Afterward, we couldn't resist the temptation of dessert and shared a chocolate lava cake that was heavenly! Overall, I was impressed and will definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about Ruoccos! If you love Italian food, this is a must-visit restaurant. The pizza was among the best I've had, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly baked. The service was attentive but not pushy, allowing us to enjoy our meal without interruption. I also tried the veal parmigiana, which melted in my mouth! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, making it an ideal place for a family dinner. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
