" I had an average experience at Rocco's. While the food was decent, nothing stood out to me. The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed on a busy night. The atmosphere was lively, which I think could be a win or lose depending on your preference. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Rocco's after hearing so many good things, and I can say it lived up to them. The Pappardelle alla Vodka was creamy and delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. The atmosphere was bright and inviting, but our server seemed rushed and could have been more attentive. Will certainly come back for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rocco's has a nice fusion of culinary influences. While the escargot was phenomenal, the main courses fell flat for my expectations. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff is efficient, but I felt they missed an opportunity to create a truly special dining experience. Still, I would recommend it for the escargot alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rocco's has become our regular spot in San Clemente. The service here feels like family, and the food is consistently delicious. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a celebratory feast, they never fail to impress. Plus, the cocktails are worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must disagree with some of the negative reviews. I found the service to be excellent and the food divine. The atmosphere is chic, yet cozy. I loved the Pappardelle and will definitely come again for more of it! Highly recommend Rocco's if you're looking for a delightful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! Rocco's Restaurant offers a splendid mix of Italian and Latin flavors that never disappoint. The Ropa Vieja was nothing short of spectacular, and my partner raved about the Escargot. To top it off, the service was friendly and attentive, creating a perfect evening out. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out Rocco's on a whim, and I left thoroughly impressed. The Burrata appetizer was fresh and creamy, while the main courses offered vibrant and bold flavors. The service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back for more, especially for that mouthwatering dessert! " (*Curated Review*)
