Johnny Rocco's Italian Grill in Niagara Falls

Terrible, there was 6 of us we came in during happy Hour, clearly they took their time serving us, not to order from the happy hour menu. Then told us they only had gluten free crust and would take 45 min to get regular dough. Hmm then there was dough? place was empty terrible service the food horrible.. then tried to charge me full for the pizza! The chicken parm was a joke half a chicken breast sliced in half like paper and not even an entire potatoe for almost 30!! The other chicken plate was not cooked through, just gross food.. save your money people.. Shame on you as a business to over charge people for terrible food and service! As a small business do better!!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Unfortunately only 2/4 dishes were good. We did not get to have the pizza ordered and wasnt informed it wasnt available until we had already finished appetizers and about half an hour after ordering. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted microwaved and there was no sign of real cooking. The sauce was very sweet. The frozen drink was complete liquid. I was actually really excited to go here after not trying it for a few years but yeah, no..also definitely need to change the cooking oil.

Logan, our waiter, was amazing! He was very attentive, personable, and attentive. We were dining with four young children and he made them all feel special. Logan is a definite asset to Johnny Roccos!

Celebrated my 50th at Johnnys last night. What an amazing time had by my whole party. What happens at Johnny Rocco s stays at Johnny Rocco s.

Had the mussels and the arancini. Delicious. Service was great. Our server Amelia was lovely and very friendly.

Preston was a wonderful server!

Food was good and the waitress was so friendly. The silverware was stained... Water marks only and it was a bit cold in the dining space

I am usually very easy-going and understandable when it comes to bad service, however, I had to write a review regarding my dining tonight. It was just me and my boyfriend and the restaurant was not busy as they were many tables available. It first started when we walked in and there was no hostess (which is fine, maybe they were busy) but after 5 minutes waiting we walked in and the bar staff looked at us as if we were aliens, I asked them if we could sit anywhere so this guys came and apologized and said he would get the hostess (he was very kind), while the girls behind the bar looked very annoyed. We sat down, our server came and we ordered our food. Once we got our meals, they gave my boyfriend the wrong order and we had to wait a few more minutes. The server brought his food and left quickly, not even asking us if we needed anything else, there was no time to ask for a fork as the server forgot to bring him one and I wanted to ask for Parmesan cheese. The food tasted fine, my boyfriend got the chicken parmigiana with roasted potatoes and he found one piece of penne in his plate (??). The server never came back to check on us. We were able to ask her the bill and as soon as we got home, my boyfriend had a diarrhea. Horrible experience at this location and I don t recommend it The one in St. Catharines is amazing.

We came for a date night and we liked the place forsure, but the live music was just a tiny bit loud for the atmosphere, other than that the food was really good, we enjoyed it!

The calamari was amazing

The best Ive been to in 20 years

Food is okay. Waitress was quite rude , watched over me as I paid, questioned me in front of table asking was the service bad? And I told her that I don t have a lot of money. To even go out for dinner was a blessing, and then she proceeded to make me feel bad for it.

Best place Ive been to in 20 years. The food was fantastic. Tasted great. Service was awesome. Thank you

Great food. Unfortunately arrived right before the dinner rush and service was scattered. Fortunately we were not in a hurry and enjoyed the atmosphere. Disappointed that we really wanted to try the Italian Wedding Soup not available.

Awesome time tonight, special thanks to Jacob for taking care of my family and I!

sangria is so delicious but saw a rat running along the bars of the ceiling we were about to order food and felt sick to our stomach this place needs to be shut down again!!!!!

Nothing worse than a cold pizza

Had a great time last night with family. Jacob was an excellent server.

I ordered online for pickup. I went in and stood for about 20 mins while staff walked by and didnt even acknowledge me. The person that finally did help was pleasant, but then I was told they had no cutlery, so now I have to find some whole staying in a hotel.

Waiter Jacob was best server ever !!

Our server Jacob was excellent

I ve been here twice. The first time food and service were exceptional. Went back this weekend with some friends and had a horrible experience. My pizza was cold, the chicken in the chicken parm was raw (like still completely pink) and we had to pour our own wine! They then tried charging us a mandatory 18% gratuity and when I asked to speak to the manager they refused to come chat with us. I have to no problem leaving a generous tip but at least make some sort of attempt at earning it. Horrible service.

Food is ok ( maybe a bit to saltier) but overall is good.

The food was awesome here, we particularly enjoyed the Alfredo chicken pizza (super fresh) and the pasta was good too. Our server Megan was extremely attentive (she noticed we ran out on napkins and proactively offered us more). Her service was exemplary. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good restaurant in Niagara Falls area.

The biggest waste of $100. My husband and I had gone to this restaurant a few times while visiting Niagara Falls and it was fantastic, but we hadn t been since 2021. I am not sure what happened but the quality of the staff and the food has taken a nose dive. Forgotten drinks, no one came by to see how the food was, and 20 minute wait for our bill. We ordered the calamari to start - if you could call it that - it was a bowl of soggy fried vegetables with maybe 8 pieces of calamari. We then ordered two entrees which came with our choice of soup or salad. We both chose Italian Wedding Soup, one veal parm and one baked chicken penne. 15 minutes after we put our order in the server came back to tell us someone got the last of the soup. He said we now have chicken noodle not made in house- I assume made by chef Campbell s - or egg drop made in house, or salad. My husband decided on egg drop - which turned out to be chicken broth with a couple of carrots and onions. I decided on a Caesar salad - the server made a point of telling me it s an upgrade .which I feel they could have waived the $2 up charge considering they didn t have my first choice. When my salad arrived, there was maybe 10 pieces of lettuce smothered in dressing and buried under a mountain of low quality cheese. Then the server came back to say they ran out of veal, so I had to get the chicken parm. Finally after 55 minutes, our food arrived, my husbands baked penne looked like the cheese was melted under the heat lamp, and it had no flavour. My chicken parm was just okay. The portion is good but the chicken was dry and the sauce on the penne had no flavour. We were not offered dessert or coffee, it took 20 minutes for the server to pick up the dirty plates and ask how things were. We didn t want to complain since we ate everything, said fine and asked for the bill. Another 10 minutes passed before we got our bill. Paid, he said he took off my drink for the delay, which is great but it should have been addressed while it was happening. We will not be returning.

Had lunch with my husband. Our usual, mussels in a arrabiata sauce and a calabrese pizza. Always delicious and my favourite meal. Our server, Megan is awesome, and always is attentive and caring. I had an aperol spritzer, made perfectly by her. Husband had a beer. We can t go anywhere else after the attention given by Megan and the Manager Spencer. They go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and quality of the meal!

They had live music while we were there, and the entertainment was amazing. Our waiter was fantastic, and the food was great!

Dietary restrictions: They have Gluten free option Food

We had a very nice lunch with a very nice waitress on sept 17 2024

We were looking for a spot for dinner and stopped in . My Girlfriend and myself had an experience we both enjoyed so much we will be returning. Had spaghetti and meatballs and vegetariana Calzone. For drinks we tried 2 espresso Martinis which the waitress explained to us both . The looks on the ladies faces made myself but the drinks . Meal was delicious and amazing and our waitress made the dinner very Memorable her name was Alyssa B Thanks made our night Beautiful

I always order take out for my family & friends, they loved it... We also come here to dine-in & try different menus, everything is good actually...They have the BEST pasta, the BEST chicken wingz & the BEST pizza in town plus a bonus great staffs as well.

Best Italian spot in the falls

Great food and friendly staff!

Amazing food. The pasta is very good. The server Andrew is very funny and nice. Nico and Matteo love it!! Thank you!! Their favorite place!

New owners are trying to bring life back to this location but the staff are making it difficult. Servers on multiple occasions have been rude and make you feel completely forgotten or asking for anything is a huge inconvenience to them. Management needs to have a serious reworking of staff to make these experiences better but there seems to be very little leadership. The food has also gone down hill, both dine in and take out. One good quality is that the restaurant is beautiful and the patio is decent later at night when traffic dies down. They advertise that they offer take out until 9 on Fridays (way too early in my opinion) but if you order after 830, they will cancel your order. I understand the dining room may be busy but I have been cancelled on twice on a Friday/Weekend and this is meant to be a late night option? Parking is very limited and they are located on a very busy corner in the city and the patio faces the traffic. there is even a busy bus stop right at the front doors. I enjoy the make your own pasta but the pasta is almost always underdone. The calzones come out as mush inside so they are not very appealing. The wedding soup sits for too long and sometimes starts to have a metallic taste. Do not try their sister company, Mick and Angelos because they have similar problems and more. Antica is a better italian option in the city, if that is what youre looking for.

The worst take out. Lettuce was brown. Called manager with NO offer of replacement. Food use to be the best

Awesome service, great atmosphere, amazing food and live music. A great vibe and a great experience. 10/10 would recommend

good high end Italian cuisine

The food was tasty and a beautiful place!

I had a very nice date night the other night here. The food was great and Carson our server went above and beyond and made the night as good as it could get. He deserves a raise and should train more servers to be like him!

Greatvwood fired pizza.

Beyond Disappointing experience. This restaurant need serious training to their servers, chefs and hosts. Poor value, disgraceful customer service and an overall beyond disappointing experience. I visited with my family last week and ordered a pizza and a pasta. It took 35+ mins to bring them over to our table. Esp when the restaurant wasnt crowdy at all! The basic etiquette of bringing cutlery is what they need to learn. We had our order but there were no plates, no cutlery. When I asked one of the servers, he brought them and to our surprise, they were all dirty. The server went missing for a long time and dint bother to ask if everything is okay! I went up again and caught hold of a different server now asking to change the dirty plates. By this time, our pizza was all soggy and pasta was cold. Needless to mention, I had to calm down two hungry kids with me and an impatient husband. I lost my control by then and gulped my tastless food which had no flavor. The pizza was too salty. And our pasta had tons of spinach when we specifically asked them DO NOT PUT spinach. This has been the worst experience for me and family in a restaurant. In order to make up with missing cutlery and dirty plates, awful food - they offered us 50% discount.This discount dint make up for the worst food and service I got. To my utter surprise, I saw I was charged extra for those spinach, few pieces of olives and pepper in pasta and sauce too! Cmon, who does that? Charging for pasta and for sauce too?! Really. This place needs to be shut down and a proper training should be given before they play with public sentiments and their hard earned money.

The service was excellent the food was great . Only down fall was finding the stump of lettuce in my Ceasars salad but no problem at all in my books...will be back..

Food was ok, limited wine selections. Would go again due to the location more than the food.

In fact, I am not in a hurry. This restaurant is still very good, with good taste and portions. I have been here at least twice. There is also a live band in the evening.

Ordered Linguini Rustica , the Alfredo sauce was like paste . Rendered it in edible. New cooks perhaps ?. Won t be back .

While our server was lovely the food and drink were atrocious. The chocolate Martini was all chocolate and basically one ounce. Dont even get me started on the old fashioned. It too was about one ounce and all ice and did not even resemble what an old fashioned should look like or taste. My meal...chicken tetrezini was chicken paste. It was literally inedible and was sent back to the kitchen. Very very disappointing and will likely never return.

First time trying this restuaunt thanks to a failed airbnb. Absolutely dont regret out decision. The pasta although plain, was delicious!! So flavourful and big portion size. Will be back next time in Niagara.

I ate there last night and I m still thinking about it, the food was amazing and the live music was so good that it sounded as if it was pre recorded but the highlight was the bartender James, he one by one made us each our own personalized drinks based off our interest and when we tried them we were in awe, we heard the restaurant is under new ownership but that place would be a lot better off if he owned it. He knows exactly what that place and you need. Vote for James.

If I could give lower stars I would. I recently went to this location to watch someone I know play live music and was so excited to eat there. I had just gotten off of work and was ravenous. The hostess handed me menus but did not seat me.. which honestly wasn t a big deal because I was sitting at the first table and had asked if that would be fine. I read over the menu, even though I knew exactly what I wanted (eggplant Parmesan and either wine or a fancy cocktail) and waited for someone to come introduce themself as my server or even bring me water. Every single server, hostess, the food runners, even the person I know was the manager passed by and never so much as looked at me. I was there for FORTY minutes like that. At that point I knew I wasnt going to be kind enough to explain my situation in any kind of calm manner, so I left, told my friends who were coming to meet me not to meet me at the restaurant because I wouldn t be there, ate a banana from my work lunch in my car and cried because I had waited so long to eat that I was actually feeling terrible. I work as a server. I can assure you there were more than enough servers for the amount of tables. I even tried to email someone to talk about my issue civilly a few days later, but no one bothered to respond to address the issue and thus they have opted for a terrible review in public. I have never had such horrible service in my life and I will never be back. This staff does not care about the service. The management doesn t care to respond to their complaints either. Do not go here unless you want to feel like a zero.

Cosy place, authentic Italian food. Had a good time here. Bliss for the tastebuds Kid-friendliness: The server was very kind and friendly, she brought over some crayons and an activity page for my son as he waited for his food.

Had the displeasure of having an embarrassing dining experience for a group of 8 friends this past weekend. We had reservations, when we first walked into the restaurant it was ICE COLD and very uncomfortable to sit in, was like having dinner in a freezer. The male waiter we had was rude and aggressive, did not pay attention to the needs of the table, and had to be asked repeatedly to refill waters, bring extra napkins and side plates. There were mistakes in the orders and delivering them to the table. Can you imagine also an Italian restaurant running out of espressos at 7:30 pm? Luckily for the waiter the tip was already included because it was a big group otherwise he would have deserved $0. The heros of the evening was the kitchen staff did their job well and we enjoyed the food even though we ate fast to get out of the bitter cold. Would definitely not recommend eating here again.

James is fabulous. Great food and drink suggestions and fun to talk to. The food was delicious and very generous portions.

We had a great family dinner here while visiting Niagara Falls. Everything was fresh and yummy. My kids loved the pizza. Rib eye was on point. James was our waiter. He was very cool and helpful. Look no further for a great dinner

Our group of 55 people had an incredible experience at Jonny Rocco s! The manager Spencer made the booking seamless, servers were top notch friendly and efficient, the atmosphere was beautiful in our private room in the basement, and the food was awesome. Very reasonably priced for all that you get! Thank you so much. We d love to return again next year

Service was extremely slow, we probably would of gotten 7x the drinks if we had better service. Food was good and they were accommodating.

Wow!! Its such a great place to dine! My wife and I had an exceptional time here this past Saturday(May 25/2024) Service was great, servers were great. Not 1 poor thing to say! You Gotta Eat Here!! Food

**Five-Star Dining Experience** Johnny Roccos Italian Grill offers an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a romantic dinner or a family gathering. The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic Italian flavors that transport you straight to Italy. I highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan and the Tiramisu for dessert. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff. Ill definitely be coming back!

Pleasantly surprised! Great food, service, and atmosphere.

Excellent food, nice simple menu, fast service, and very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend the cannolis. We thoroughly enjoy every visit.

Went in an ordered some food, asked for the manager to describe the process of food handling for those with allergies. Manager reassured for gluten free the safe protocols. Ordered a pizza, not only did it take really long but when it was brought to the table it looked like someone regurgitated the cheese on the pizza. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I wish I would have taken a picture. How can they allow that to be brought to the table. The cheese was melted in a weird pile in the middle of the pizza, which looked like someone had to stretch out the cheese and plop in right in the centre. Manager did not come to the table to apologize. waitress was very sweet and did her job perfectly. new owners, need to get your act together. Very embarrassing to bring food to a table that looks like the ingredients were taken out of the garbage and thrown on top.

Highly recommend this place!! The food was excellent (loved the mushroom ravioli), the live music was nice, and our server was attentive and helpful with accommodating food allergies.

Nice place, friendly staff, good food. The Connolis were surprisingly great! Like really good. Im fairly picky with my connolis. They were light, crispy, big, generous cream/nuts/chocolate. Rice balls were great too.

This restaurant is dirty. We had dust floating down on us from the light fixture, which looks like it hasnt been cleaned in a long time. My Rice balls were still cold. Music was loud and we had to speak over it. It was a very disappointing visit.

Excellent food, real Italian, so good, everything we had was perfect. Service outstanding. Lot better then in the States.

We had a big group (9 people) & Johnny Roccos was so accommodating! Service was excellent - friendly, helpful, ,& we didnt feel rushed. Food was delicious & plentiful. A fun atmosphere for any get together! Dietary restrictions: Very understanding & accommodating of my citrus allergy.

Amazing food and amazing service.

This was a really authentic and cozy Italian atmosphere! The server was amazing and attentive. I had the bolognese penne and my dad had the chicken wings and a salad. The bolognese could have had more flavour but the portion size and garlic bread were fantastic. My dads wings were really great and full of flavour the bread was crispy and delicious. I will definitely going back to try their lasagna which Ive heard is their most popular dish!

Server was wonderful. Ordered a Cesar salad and it was disappointing. Tasted like the 50% off iceburg lettuce at Walmart. Not worth 18$. Everything else was good.

Ordered a pizza and a couple of drinks, the food was delicious and our server James was amazing, super friendly and funny :)

James is the best bartender ever 5 for sure!! Best service , amazing food, great ambiance. Must visit for a great time.

Vegetarian options: They got a lot option for drinks and food Kid-friendliness: You can be set with your kids to eat Food : 5/5 |

Amazing service from James today

We love to go here for dinner. The food is amazing!!

Servers were super rude, and not pleasant to deal with. Ruined my date night!!!!!!!!! For my 6 year anniversary

It was our first visit to Johnny Roccos. The ambience was incredible. Food was absolutely the best authentic Italian. We loved every bite of it. Would like to give a round of applause to PRESTON, service was amazin. Thank you kindly for such an amazin experience!! 10/10 recommended !!

I forgot to post when there a while ago but am now. James our waiter was awesome, friendly and offered great suggestions. The food was great and so flavourful and we took a lot away with us. Portions were large. Would definitely return.

James our server was amazing! The food was spectacular. Been in Niagara for years and always wanted to go, glad I finally went! Everyone should dine here.

Maybe a better place in Niagara Falls in terms of Italian food, rich somewhat creamy and authentic. Liked Roccos Pizza.

Had Baked Chicken Penne and it was good, the chicken to pasta ratio wasnt great. The Caesar salad tasted like it was tossed in straight mayonnaise. But the service was great!

Wonderful place to eat, in my most favorite place to visit

The service, price and food are beyond our expectations in that tourist district. Plus theres live music and singing performed by a guitarist on the patio. The only downside to me is the noise from the traffic that breaks the vibe and music as the restaurant with its patio is located right at the corner of two main streets.

The food was good for the price. The service is excellent.

Food and service was great.

Good

Fettuccine Rustica was next class amazing! Best Italian / American Ive eaten.

Amazing Food and great service. It s one of the best Italian food I ve had. I highly recommend the Parmesan Chips. Vegetarian options: You can customize everything Dietary restrictions: You can let the staff know Parking: Parking on site Kid-friendliness: Kid s below a certain age can have free food Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure

We had dinner last night and the server was awesome ,she gave us some great advice on a dish that was great , thanks Taylor ! After dinner there was live music by Mario and we moved over to the bar and had a couple of drinks and enjoyed the music , it was a great evening overall , I would recommend this restaurant to anyone !

Always s good time

This is a great location. The service is fantastic, and the food is great. Everything is made to order and they always make an effort to make sure the experience is smooth.

Right off the bat we were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. We had a fantastic, hilarious server Jacob who kept us laughing and even helped with my macros! It was obvious the staff enjoyed working here and it was a great vibe with delicious food!! I was actually blown away how tasty my kale salad was.. Thanks guys!

Their points app asked for a review so here it is: I have not received points from my last two visits (5 weeks ago and 3 days ago). When I emailed about it, they said the points were controlled by another company but I dont have the option to review them so pick your business partners better? (Update: 3 months later, nothing changed}

The food was good, but the management of the service was really awful - we were 40 people, made a reservation up front, and still there was only one waiter to give us the service! We got our food after 1 hour and 45 minutes of staying there! Moreover, we went to a manager asking to add someone, but he refused. So disappointing...

Great place for food, service and entertainment. If youre anywhere close to Lundys Lane while in N Falls then make sure you go for dinner here.

Had dinner tonight at Johnny Rocco s for the first time. Our server James was great! Highly recommend!

Our server James was great! Tried the lobster ravioli and loved it. Highly recommend!

Tried Johnny Rocco s for the first Time today and it was a great experience. Big thank you to James for everything! He was great Food

First time leaving a review for anything. April 13th 2:00 pm. Ordered a pizza and 2 calzones for pickup for a family meal. Unfortunately, the cook felt it was ok to send out food completely burnt. Typically you could scrap off the burnt areas and normally I would have. This was beyond unacceptable. Went back and was refunded for 1 calzone. Been a long time customer until now. The fact that the kitchen staff felt it was ok to send out burnt food is mind blowing. Should be fired. Not fit for food service. Customer lost.

Great atmosphere and brilliant Italian food! My kid said this is the best pizza ever he was wrong, because mine was! The drinks we had were excellent also. The Raspberry Gin mix is fantastic. Definitely a favourite restaurant in Niagara now. Totally worth the drive from Clifton Hill.

Stupid and dumb people lowkey not sigma level 1 gyatt

James is the reason we came back! Great knowledge of the menu and recommendations for cocktails and beers. Definitely recommend visiting and to sit in the bar section. He was fabulous with the customer interaction and we love to find out his MUST tries! Food

This was my first time at Johnny Roccos and the experience was not great. We were there with a group of about 20 people for a rehearsal dinner. Our server, who was attending other tables as well, didnt even introduce himself until 25min after we arrived. Our first round of drink orders wasnt served until about 45min in, and it took another 45min after that to get our food orders locked in. I understand we were a large group, but this was prebooked and should have been planned for.

We have been coming here for over 2 years now and anytime we are visiting niagara this restaurant is a must! The staff are friendly very accommodating and the service is always great.Preston goes above and beyond to make sure the customers are happy and well taken care of. Spencer the GM has taken an already great restaurant to an even higher level since he has taken over. We have visited this restaurant 3x in a week and it didnt disappoint. The portions are very large and flavourful we recommend this restaurant to anyone that is coming to niagara. Great value fot your money and something for everyone to eat the kids portions are huge and reasonably priced if youre looking Family oriented restaurant with a great atmosphere look no further our family of 7 love this place! Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is great Large portions and great price

Came for a family dinner. Food was amazing and our server Autumn was fantastic!

New ownership review. I had a birthday coupon sent to me so I decided to use it. Upon presentation of the coupon my server informed me it wasnt valid as the ownership had changed . At first I didnt want to stay because I had had issues with this location in the past and the only reason I was giving them another shot was the coupon. My server James convinced me to stay and give them another shot. All I can say is wow! The new owners have done an amazing job . The food was delicious and out promptly. My server was very accommodating. It was a great all around experience. I look forward to seeing all the improvements the new owners have planned . Thank you for a lovely birthday lunch. Last two photos are from my most recent visit look at the difference in the pizza . So good.

Our server Nathan was kind and attentive. We enjoyed our dinner

We had dinner there last weekend after the new owner took over and seeing he is not Italian they have dance music playing now and not playing the beautiful ltalian music the previous owner had on before., it definitely takes away the italian atmosphere and ambiance. It went down hill.

Great meal experience food and service were good Great value for money Gluten-free options are available The bathroom is down a set of stairs, so it is not accessible

best place in Ontario

I have my favourites items here that I come for. The service is hit and miss. I love tapas! go so often for Thursday nights. The Samon and apple salad with the Italian wedding soup are wonderful. Same for the rice balls and parms! For the last summer time, I would say it was the worst struggle I have seen this restaurant have for service, and it is still not fully back to good status- therefore the service rating is lower.

Great lunch. Food was made quick and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere.

My husband and I were heading to a concert in St. Catherines and stopped in at Johnny Roccos. Wow the service was fantastic . Heather made a stellar Amaretto Sour. It was so good I went for a second. The atmosphere was awesome, never seen a DJ mixing the beats like that since the 90s. And watching all the customers moving in their chairs to the great beats. 100% we will go there again when we are in town, highly recommended

We were in Johnny Rocco s for the first time in a long time and immediately found a change in the hospitality service and reception. Food was 10 out of 10 and they just seem to care again. The new owners cane around and introduced themselves to us. This doesn t seem like a big deal but it is . It shows that they care.!! We go out ,, maybe a little bit too much but it s nice to see that we have some great choices again . Over the last month we have visited both Mic&Angelo s and Johnny Rocco s and have nothing but great service, great food and friendly atmosphere. Welcome and thank you for giving us some great choices again

Dont ever order the ribeye. Worst steak Ive ever had. The vegetables were complete mush. The Asiago burger was thin and tasteless. The kids burger was a sub par box burger. The kids fries were pretty good though. The waitress was pleasant but nothing extraordinary, considering tips are a contribution of income.

Was here a little while ago on a weekday afternoon, food was great although service was friendly, it was a little slow for an empty place. Cocktail was well made. Glendale is my usual location but I d come back to this one.

Very good food, we went on Boxing Day and the service was slow as there were few people working.

Poor service, waited for 1 hour for drinks

Love it!

Always awsome food and service

Friendly staff. They have a large variety of beverages and delicious food

Best Italian Wedding soup I have ever had! Wood fired pizza was great. Steak was great, meatballs huge, but they used pre-packaged bacon bits instead of fresh bacon in the Caesar salad, food could have been hotter, one of the coffee cups came with lipstick on it

We love Johnny Rocco s. We went on a Wednesday over Christmas break. We arrived around 4 PM. Very few people there and yet they had us all sit side by side. You could see people were uncomfortable. Not even one table between us. The dill pickle appetizers were amazing. House red was ok. Meal was great. Servers were more interested in chatting amongst themselves. Oh well. Maybe next time!

Always delicious food, friendly staff, great service!!

Folks, you are awesome as always. Thanks a lot

Mushroom Ravioli is SOLID.

Great waiter and alright food but it came fast and the waiter went above and beyond in his little tight shorts lol

I go for the delicious chicken milano, my mom loved the mushroom ravioli but she wouldve liked some veghies with it. Our server was friendly, attentive and super friendly. Didnt catch her name, she was tall, young, blonde with a big smile. Thank you for great service Food

The food and service is always A+++ very fair pricing as well.

Went on a thursday night. Had a really nice band playing. This is the second time I have visited this location (last time many years ago). My friends seem to rave about the food. I feel it is ok, passable, not out of this world. Eg. The italian wedding soup is so similar to the canned Campbells soup, it makes me wonder. Portion sizes are decent. The bathroom were nasty by the evening. Plenty of parking. Kid-friendliness: Menu for kids is reasonable price and portion sizes.

Great pizza, cold beer, excellent service.

I went there with my daughter. Ordered baked chicken penne and classic burger. One serving of penne was enough for both of us since we are not large eater. The pasta sauce is tasty, but chicken is a little bit salty and pasta is chewy. The burger is delicious, but we have to bring home, could not eat anymore...

Great food! The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauces are excellent! We will be back for sure!

Ordered take out. via Urber Eats 2x chicken baked penne: Noodles were undercooked, to point some were still hard. Barely any chicken and sauce. for the price, tried to eat it and couldnt even finish 1/3. No cutlery or napkins sent either.

Amazing service by Kyle and if you go during happy hour the mussels and the house white are so yum! Loved it.

One of the better spaghetti and meatballs I ve had

Second year in a row we came here. The food was fantastic. The staff highlighting- Nathan are fantastic. Phenomenal service!

We had a small wedding here. Everyone was so helpful. Our date was sept 16, 2023. The manager and waitresses were the best. I would highly Recommend them for any event big or small. You will not be disappointed. The food was superb! Could not ask for better!

First time to JR and we absolutely loved it! Great food and amazing service! We will definitely be back!

Had the Veal Parmigiano with Penne Pomodoro side. Veal was overcooked and dry. Should have got the chicken Parmigiano instead. Dont think Id make a second trip to this restaurant.

No manager should have a hatefull conversation with a server in front of customers. It was very disrespectful.

Considering we came in late and in a big group is the reason Im not giving it a lower rating. The place was not capacity, but clearly, our 4 table order overwhelmed the kitchen, and my chicken wings came out last. Not nice. However, they were exactly what I asked for and very tasty. I couldnt finish them because by that time it was almost 10 pm, so Ill have them for breakfast! Live singer was wonderful, Mario!

Vegetarian options: Loved it Food

My family and my niece and nephew visiting Niagara Falls stopped at the restaurant for dinner. . Had the lobster fettuccine and was excellent. Everything was great. We will be back soon. Thanks to the staff and managers.

Great food and servic. A must try.

We went last minute with a large group of about 30. I was a little nervous when our group only had 1 server... we didnt need anyone else. Parson was by far the most competent and friendly server Ive EVER come across. The food was excellent. Came out of the kitchen quickly. It was hot, accurate and delicious. With the size of our group almost everything on the menu was ordered and not one bad meal was had. I will 100% return to Jonny Roccos the next time Im in the falls.

Food was good, live music was nice with the open overhead door leading to the patio. 4 star rating overall as it appeared they were a bit understaffed and we spent a lot longer there than we had planned with two small children waiting to have our order taken, for food to arrive, the bill, the debit machine, etc.

Service was good and so was the food

Fast service, good food and reasonable prices. Kids meals come with cute min icecream cones.

A big thankyou going out to Sushant for putting together such a wonderful event for us on Saturday with such short notice. The food was wonderful, the staff were so polite and had a smile on their face all night. Thanks again for making this day a special one.

Fun little place. Vegetarian options: Small variety of gluten and lactose free items. Food : 4/5 |

The dude who was our waiter was very fun and professional.

The service from the management and staff was superb. Vanessa was an amazing host and went the extra mile to ensure the wedding guests were happy. The venue was a great location for the intimate wedding. I highly recommend Johnny Roccos for private events. Food

Went there for lunch on Mon Oct 9th. We walked in the door, was greeted by a gentlemen and a worker who was working on a plant at the doorway. The older gentleman says hes our bartender and horticulture guy who grows weed at home. We were seated and the server came by to take our order and the older says to us, this is our cocaine guy and laughs. This is so unproffesional for a buisness and we will NOT be coming back. Mind you, the food was excellent

I was visiting Niagara Falls area for the first time. Being of Italian decent we looked for an Italian restaurant to eat at and Johnny Roccos came up in our search and didnt have horrible reviews. We decided to try it and aside from the service, which was is only good thing I could say about this place. HORRIBLE!!!! We ordered the Famous Parmesan Chips, UGH they appeared to be potato chips sprinkled with Kraft powdered cheese. Well on to the main dish, I ordered the, lemon peppered salmon dish and it just gets worse. This was actually inedible. I love fish and order it frequently. One thing for sure is it should not smell of fish and that was the first thing that turned my stomach, and then just the way it was prepared. YUK!!! It came with sides of vegetables and my choice of spaghetti with marinara sauce. Sauce was also terrible. When the waitress returned and asked if all was ok, I had to mention I really didnt like my dish and she said she would let the owner know. My dish was approximately $28 and I ate a tiny amount of what was served. I assumed the owner would remove the entire amount of the dish, beings I hardly touched it, but once again another let down. The waitress said she was told to discount only $10. Since we where vacationing and I didnt want to ruin any more of my night, I voiced my frustration and just paid. I am not a frequent person to post reviews, however, I felt I had to write this one to help the next potential victim. If the owner would have at least removed the cost of the dinner I did not eat I would have felt somewhat better. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Very kids and family friendly Good food and service Loved the place Food : 5/5

We had the pleasure of having James the bartender serve my family at our table. He rocked it with quick and friendly service made my daughter so happy shredding that fresh parmigiana on her pasta will definitely go back!!!

We have dinner several times here and always wonderful service and fantastic food. I like that for kids is separate menu and pencils with drawings for entertainment. Unforgettable atmosphere of Italian restaurant. Kid-friendliness: High chair, special menu, art units

Great Italian food & the waiter was awesome. Got us put of the main junk food area and into a wonderful dining experience. The food was really fresh and flavorful.

Amazing italian food, and very friendly staff! Best arancini, and eggplant parmigiana, you have to try this place!

Good food and great service! If you like Italian great place to eat and drink.

Absolutely delicious food. The kitchen staff and waitresses had no problem serving our large group, and everyone went home full and satisfied. Good job! Kid-friendliness: The kids liked their dinner, and loved their cookies with smiley faces on them!

Food is mediocre at best. Service is terrible.

Very long wait time even after being seated. The waiter wasnt the friendliest. Food was presented poorly and the taste didnt make up for it. Someone behind us actually left because it took so long to be served. Not the best for the price, wasnt the worst place ever but if you have other options you may want to think twice.

Great food and great service every time!!

Title: Disappointing Experience I recently ordered the Make Your Own Pasta from this restaurant with high expectations, given its claim to be an Italian establishment. Unfortunately, the experience fell short on multiple fronts. 1. **Misleading Advertising:** The restaurant bills itself as Italian, but the only Italian aspect is the attempt to use Italian titles on the menu. It lacks the authenticity it promises. 2. **Quality of Pasta:** The pasta quality was subpar. The noodles were thin and lacked flavor, resembling low-end store-bought options. 3. **Excessive Water and Oil:** Upon receiving the dish, I found it swimming in water and oil, with the noodles practically floating. This made for an unpleasant and soggy texture. 4. **Unimpressive Sausage:** The Italian sausage turned out to be a generic spicy sausage without proper seasoning, delivering an overwhelming taste of pure fat. 5. **Poor Ingredient Choices:** Canned olives, unrinsed and high in sodium, were a disappointing choice. The vegetables seemed randomly thrown in, with mushrooms barely visible. 6. **Excessive Oil:** The pasta contained an excessive amount of oil, a detail even acknowledged by the staff during payment. This oversight raises questions about the kitchens attention to detail. 7. **Incomplete Order:** Despite an additional charge for salad, it never made it to my order. This oversight was both disappointing and frustrating. 8. **Limited Dessert Options:** The lack of available desserts, except for a single chocolate-based option, further underscored the restaurants apparent shortcomings. In conclusion, my experience was far from satisfactory. I wont be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant, as it seems overrated, outdated, and lacking in culinary expertise. The pictures attached speak volumes about the disappointing reality of this so-called Italian restaurant.

The food was great! Our server was really kind and on the ball. I came in on a Monday with friends and they had an amazing special. Will definitely be back! Thank you.

Tired to give them another chance and the salad is still brown it s unacceptable for the price owner posted to email him I did and got no response

Great service. Rice balls are a favourite

Could not be more impressed from the rose sauce, alfredo sauce to the mommas meat balls and Dutch Ceasars, James our server was awesome. Didnt wait long at all for all our food!!!( 3 people) AMAZING AMZING AMAZING
