We found this gem of a restaurant as they hosted the Remembrance Day Banner for my husband’s Grandpa this year. All I can say is WOW!!!! Wonderful people and atmosphere and the food is magnificent. I haven’t had calamari this good since 2009. Generous portions. Great conversation. We will be back. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible food is here. Such a hidden gem. If you haven't eaten here yet you are missing out. I honestly wish I found this place sooner. The owners are so authentic and have great personalities. The menu is amazing and gives you a truly home cooked meal feeling. The pasta is unbelievably fantastic and the sandwiches are packed full of ingredients.

Mama Mia! Wow! A taste of Italy 🇮🇹, in Alliston, Ontario, Canada 🍁! What a fantastic experience! Loved the food and their passion they take to make it! As Ofcourse their service! Always served fresh and well well prepared to meet my hungry demands! 😂 Rosi, even prepared a little rice ball for my little one, and it was phenomenal! Try everything on the menu, as this is homemade, the servect really is in their sauce! Get there early as the pizza and lasagna sell out super fast! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Until next time, Ciao!

Great food great experience

April 21, 2024

Hmm reading the reviews and our experience was not positive. Ordered 2 pizzas and veal cutlets.. bill $174. The margarita pizza had dollops of ricotta on it. No basil. No mozzarella. The sauce had no flavour. The delux pizza was sparse on the pepperoni and the sauce had no flavour. Cutlets were good. At the time of payment we were overcharged and when this was pointed out they couldn t figure out how to refund and had to give us a store credit. Not worth the price. We re Italian and the pizza was not a margarita. We also know what a sauce should taste like. Will not order from there again.

I recently went to this establishment for the first time yesterday & this is truly fine Italian Catering! Quality food & great portions, the staff here are very friendly & make you feel welcome. We ordered drinks with the chicken & veal parmigiana sandwiches (some of the best that weve ever had) & they were even nice enough to include a free slice of pizza. This spot is a must go-to for any local or even anybody just passing by. Parking: Free street parking all around this establishment. Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids & the whole family!

Excellent food and customer service. Rosie is an outstanding business owner who cares about her customers and provides an amazing experience. Fresh, authentic italian cuisine as well as delicious frozen options. Roccos is one of the best places in Alliston. I cannot recommend it enough.

December 21, 2023

Food is horrible owner is crazy. Follows me to work (security footage attached Rose is in the silver pickup truck with her dogs) and stands and looks over my fence in my back yard video tapes me when I am walking around freely and constantly sets her dogs off on people and her dogs are considered dangerous and should be muzzled . not a business I would support

Where do I start? The sisters are such beautiful people. They really make you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Today was my first time trying their food and *CHEFS KISS* I got a caprese salad, amazing, an eggplant parm, delicious and tastes so authentic. I inquired about calamari that wasnt on the menu and the owner cooked me up some and gave it to me on the house. And a water while i waited. Im so grateful for your hospitality. Thank you guys so much. If youre looking for real Italian food in Alliston, Roccos is your go-2.

I wanted to extend my sincere gratitude for the exceptional catering service provided at Roccos Catering. I ordered food for a hockey team (11 yo kids, always hungry) during the tournament in Alliston, ON Ladies helped me to chose the menu, make sure I have enough food to feed 35 people, gave the team a great discount and the food was simply amazing!! The food was ready on time and was very hot! I would recommend Roccos fine foods anytime and hope to see you again next year! Molto grazie a tutti!!!!! Kids loved the pasta and chicken parm!!!!!

Amazing food to feed the whole family or guests. Unbelievable, no preservatives and made the old fashion traditional way just like mom. In today s unpredictable time s, it is so refreshing to know that I can rely on Rocco s Meals To Go for quick pickup of meat or cheese lasagna, eggplant parmigiana and their potato gnocchi. Not to mention, twice a week I also call my lunch order in for their delicious veal or meatball sandwich and I try not to forget their freshly filled on the premises cheese cannoli. OMG to dye for

This is my go-to for hot sandwiches in Alliston (veal, chicken or meatball) but the pizza is not to be overlooked, as the sauce makes it something to crave. Add to that the sweets such as canolis, gelato or the French vanilla ice cream baked potato (fully dressed) and is hard to say no!

I found the lady at the counter to be a wonderful woman who knows how to hold a great conversation! This is becoming a lost art nowadays and being on the road, living away from home for years on end, its always nice to talk to a motherly figure who seems genuinely concerned not only with giving you some good food, but how you, yourself are and how life in general is going. I ordered a meatball sandwich and a rice ball ( love me some rice balls! haha) and naturally it took a bit of time to make, but the time flew as I became engrossed in conversation,. The food was as I expected, down home Italian cooking, tasted great and good value for the money.I will be back for sure. Thank you so much!

Had an amazing experience at Roccos today. My first time going - stopped in for some lunch since its right beside the driving school! The food was fabulous (literally the BEST garlic bread with cheese Ive ever had.. so yummy) and the gnocchi was delicious and made from scratch. I was offered a coffee while I waited for my food, and had a lovely chat with Diane, who is very sweet. Honestly, the sisters are the best part of this place! The atmosphere is welcoming as heck, Rosie is a HUGE character, she had me laughing and was so engaging. You can tell shes passionate about the food she makes. Honestly meeting these two were the best part of my day! Ill be going back there to support them as much as I can.

It is so stuffed with goodness that I couldnt even finish it. I have the rest for my lunch tomorrow. You definitely get your moneys worth. The price is right for this nice big delicious burrito.

I ordered my sons Italian Rum birthday cake from here. The cake had no rum in it and the cake sponge tasted like it was stored in the freezer for a while. It didnt taste fresh at all. The layers are not even. (Picture attached) On a more recent occasion, I ordered a variety of pastries and the eclairs shell tasted the same, as if it was stored in the freezer for a while and they just add fresh filling when its time to sell. The whip cream filling wasnt tasty. Disappointing. The sfoglia pastry was large, delicious and fresh. The lemon squares were tiny, fresh and tasty. The price for the size was ridiculous though. The cannolis still taste delicious, this is the only thing Ive had from here thats been consistent in quality over the years.

December 21, 2019

I called to order a birthday cake. The woman I spoke with told me I had to pay a deposit and quoted me a price for the cake. I found this odd, but I sent my niece to the bakery to pay the deposit. The woman was quite rude and explained she would only accept a cash deposit (didnt mention that during the phone call), increased the deposit amount and the price of the cake. Obviously, this bakery doesnt need the business or the positive word of mouth it would have received from us. We wont be ordering from there.

I have never benn so disgusted in my life. The woman who owns it is rude. I parked in the parking lot in front of the bakery, which is a public lot for all the stores. She swore at me and called me a bad name. I will never buy anything in there and recomend others not to as well. As a restuarant manager myself i know how important customer service is.
