Johnny Rocco's Italian Grill in St. Catharines

Ordered for take out . The place and atmosphere looked really nice inside . However when w got home, one of the dinners was missing we drove 30 mins to pick it up so one of us was left without dinner . The rest of the food was very mediocre . Portions were tiny. Veal Parm meal looked so small that it could have been a childs order. The chicken added to Caesar salad was tony and dry. The only decent tasting thing was a dinner roll and tiramisu

Excellent service, excellent food highly recommend this place

Always had a great time dining at Johnny Roccos. The service is fantastic, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is to die for. Definitely recommend going here and especially try the strawberry cheesecake!

Gotta try Zias Rice Balls, delicious

Just awesome Tapas you will enjoy the selection they have to offer. Service is amazing

I ordered the egg plant parm! Very big portion. The parm was great, always a favorite when going to J.R. the service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was nice and warm esthetic wise. Not too loud. Lost of seating. Family friendly Vegetarian options: A couple options of choose from. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. High chairs and colouring etc. Wheelchair accessibility: Unsure. I didnt notice during the visit.

Thirsday All you can eat tappas.. amazing! Fast service, great selection!

Heather was amazing. Attentive and recommended dishes which we both enjoyed. Woukd definitely recommended Johnny Roccos.

As usual, another lame excuse of a Christmas party at Johnny Roccos. Sat for over an hour before our orders

We had a table for 10. The restaurant was so overwhelmed and overcrowded. Our server had no choice for whether he wanted to provide good service which was horrible. 40 minutes for a glass of wine is extremely bad. The management of this restaurant should be ashamed of their business practices. Hire more staff and focus on providing a positive dining and food experience

Beautiful location and outstanding staff. Our granddaughter was learning to walk and the staff went out of their way to help her around Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options but there are a few Kid-friendliness: Perfect Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible

I just wanted to say thank you and your staff for an amazing staff party this past Friday, November 29th at the Merritton location. The room was beautiful and organized in a way that allowed for easy conversation between the tables. The appetizers, salad and pasta were delicious and plentiful, and the feedback regarding the main courses (independent of a few cold steaks which we appreciate were likely the result of a VERY busy kitchen that night) was fantastic. [The lobster ravioli was absolutely yummy :).] The wait staff were also excellent - timely, attentive, polite and professional at all times. It was truly one of the best group party/dinner experiences we ve had in 22 years of business. We will definitely be rebooking for future events:)

Excellent night..enjoyed live music and tapas. Staff friendly and attentive.

Ive been to Johnny Roccos several times, Ive never been disappointed. The pricing is reasonable for the food you receive and the service is always good!

Food was great very disappointed in the front lady s. Got told 10 minute wait and waited over an hour when asked why it s taking so long I got told as you can see we are busy and that was it. Very disappointed.

Started off the night at the bar for a drink while we waited for our table, settled our tab paying debit, it was only after we realized the bartender tipped herself 20% without telling us! After being sat for dinner, service was slow. The rice balls were amazing but the bruschetta was a soggy mess. I ordered a ribeye steak that was unseasoned priced at $40 and honestly only worth 20$. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs, and it was very underwhelming for an Italian restaurant. Very disappointed with everything overall.

Heather at was wonderful, the beer never hit the bottom of the glass.

Great $6 apps from 3-5 and after 9

My wife and I got there around 4pm, our server was on the ball. But when it got busy! Service was bad! We go here alot of times and service is great. Just goes to show you that some servers cant be there for you! The food here is awesome. Too bad for our server no tip that night. We spend around 150$ to 200$ for dinner.

Always love going for the Tapas All u can eat $32 . Its easier to make a reservation its a very busy night !! But so worth it Food

Excellent experience for everything. Food , service was excellent. Will be back for sure

Food was good. However, the wait between our apps and mains was unacceptable. We ordered mussels and a calzone for our mains. The waitress blamed the wait on large parties even thought there were tables around us, who arrived after us, ordered after us, and received their meals before us. One of these tables was done eating before we received our meal.

We had some relatives from out of town for a visit and it was left to me to pick and reserve a restaurant. I chose Johnny s as past experiences were 5 star. I was embarrassed . Parents had left their kids unattended in the booth behind us , the noise was out of control and when we asked the manager to address the situation it was not. It was busy so I understand when food takes a while, but an hour and a half is unacceptable. The food looked like it had been assembled without any thought and was sub par. My chicken Milano was like chewing on leather. I was so disappointed. We were given a 20% discount but as far as I m concerned it should have been free or at least a gift card for next visit. It will be a long time before I return if ever.

She takes very good care of us. I will come here to eat again for these friends. Heather took care of us.

Their rice ball . Is a must! Anybody s first visiting Johnny Rocco s please try the rice ball has mozzarella inside and crispy outside.. yummy they have great lunch deals as well

Great experience and food. Heather was the best helping us navigate the menu and amazing drinks. We will be back soon

Great restaurant and food. Thanks to Stephanie and all the staff here, their customer service is excellent!

We had an amazing visit. We ordered the rice balls and 2 cocktails to as apps. I had a negroni and my partner had an old fashioned. The old fashioned was not great (tasted like watered down makers mark with some orange) but the negroni was good. The rice balls were huge. 1 each is easily enough for an app. Then a soup starter. We then split a pizza. It had just the right amount of char and the honey made a great food journey. Savored, spicy sweet. The seasonal apple pie calorie e with icecream was a bit too much cinnamon for my partner but I loved it. Overall we loved it and will be back again. Kid-friendliness: There were a lot of kid but they were well managed and behaved. Not a great place if you have hyper active or loud children.

Went here with my family yesterday and had an amazing time. First time being in the neighborhood and we wanted to try out an Italian restaraunt. Food was great, sever was very kind and knowledgeable as well. Will definitely be back.

Great service, delicious food. See the pictures! Got ayce tapas.

Definitely need a reservation. Service was great, (thanks Chris!), food was slow to come out, (it was very busy), but worth the wait!

Was there for a seminar. Food delivered quite late. But the food was good/suitable for a meeting.

We were there this evening for my wife s birthday. It was the first I have been there personally but have had good things about it from others. We had a party of 8 and 2 kids. Morgan , our wait staff , was absolutely amazing. She was kind, attentive, professional and is a true asset to the team at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! So fresh! We had an apple salad, Caesar salad, caprese salad, calamari , goat cheese dip , and various pasta dishes. We had a true feast and we all simply had a great time. Thank you for making this evening special and we will certainly be back. Ali

Service was mid(waited 15 mins to get a drink) the parm chips were great! I ordered the ribeye (supposedly aged 27 days I dry age my own and know that theirs was not) it had no crust from searing. The steak had lots of connective tissue and was a 1 out of 10) I can t speak for pasta, but DO NOT ORDER STEAK.

Food was awesome and Enjoyed my time Food

This place was amazing. Great atmosphere, awesome service and fantastic food. Will definitely go again when in town.

The food and service is always great, my favourite place in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines to eat. It was a little loud tonight, but still all good.

Decided to try ordering through too good to go on a recommendation. Received 3 items: 1. Johnny Rocco house salad, 2. Bread roll, 3. Chicken parm with roast potato and steamed vegetables. None of these items are described to have shrimp in them on the menu. Wife ate the house salad that comes with a balsamic vinaigrette and minutes later she broke out into hives and welts on arms neck and back. I called and was told by the Manager that theres no shrimp in the salad. My wife has one allergy and ate only the salad today. Please be careful going here if you have allergies. (Its not in good taste to post photos of allergic reaction but I have them)

Christain G provided excellent service! He was on his A-Game all night for my partner and I, keeping refills topped up, checking in on special dessert requests for us, and quickly correcting (our error!) a plate with dietary issues. He was friendly and professional and we re glad to have enjoyed his service at one of my favourite restaurants in St. Catharines.

Christian was awesome

Christmas was awesome! It was my birthday tonight, super slammed busy but all of our food was delicious and even the mains came out a little slower, everything else came out in great time, making the process so easy and smooth. Go there and ask for Christian! :) thanks man!

Christain was a terrific server! Thank you for a great evening. Will definitely return 10 Star service

Was good for lunch

Tammy are server is consistently outstanding !! She always takes the time to ensure our meals are to our liking. Tammy makes our visit extra special :)) Food

We went in for dinner and Heather was our server, we had never been in before and gave her full rein on what to order for us, and every recommendation was SPOT ON! Even tried some items off the fall menu! We will definitely be back! The friendly and knowledgable service from Heather made our visit extra special!

Went for a friends wedding. The service was excellent but the air conditioning had apparently broken the morning of the event.. so the room was quite warm. A fan was brought later on but it would have been nice if it had been offered sooner. Servers were very friendly! Those beef skewers need to be on the regular menu!

Heather was our waitress and she helped us have a wonderful experience! She was personable and efficient. Thanks Heather!

We dined in and it was amazing! The food was great and Heather was great! We were able to use a coupon from the summer which was greatly appreciated! 10 outta 10 would dine again!

Feeling upset having to give such a low review. This evening upon picking up my takeout order, I arrived at the take out desk where there was a server standing, I was completely ignored as she looked at me, went back on the tablet and then left the station to go check on her tables. Another waitress came to the station and did the exact same thing except she went to the back and stood there looking at me from down the hall way. Finally, a third server came past & she asked if I was picking up, she took my name and went to the back to check. Now, a fourth server who his hands full of food for his tables and asked me if I was picking up, in to which I replied yes. He put his food at his customers table and then went to check. The same two servers that completely ignored me came back up to the pick up kiosk and now together sat there on their phones giggling, talking about whatever and did not even acknowledge the fact I was standing there. Didn t share a smile, a hello or anything. I can completely understand if you re busy and don t have time to get to me right away, but in a near empty restaurant and to ignore someone who s there to pick food up is completely ignorant and disrespectful. I order from JR often and have never been treated like this. Disappointed to say the least.

The food was great. The atmosphere was lovely. Our server was great. Dietary restrictions: I am celiac and and allergic to milk, and found lots of great options. They were very accommodating. Food : 5/5 |

Food was delicious. A quiet night at the restaurant. But overall a pleasant experience.

Great food & service. Thanks Chris! Had a nice time! Will visit again.

Cheerful and attentive waiter plus delicious food and drinks - what else do you need for a wonderful dinner!

Great place to enjoy your yummylicious food

Jacob did an amazing job as our server and the food was excellent

Family friendly restaurant. Great customer service, delicious food. Will definitely be returning.

Food and service was top notch....

Went to an event at a local winery where they had a food station serving made to order pizza, pasta and rice balls. We had the Sicilian pizza for $16. It was 4 slices and piping hot. Delicious. Perfect sampler for 2 people to nibble. Just bit expensive for what you get and very small. This would be a $ 6 pizza anywhere else.

Friendly Italian restaurant with the best eggplant parmigiana ever!! Vegetarian options: Best eggplant parmigiana Food : 5/5 |

My daughters engagement party was held here. Koodos to the grooms father for an excellent choice of venu. A big thank you for the evening. Food was delicious with largeportions.The staff friendly and attentive to the guests. Thank you Jonny Roccos

Great service and great value.

Cant say enough good things-would rate more stars if the option existed. Every visit here has surpassed expectations. Amazing food, service on point, great family friendly environment and most importantly affordable. You will not regret a visit there.

Great business lunch spot, fairly quick to table food for those quick ones, and the quality of food beats going to a chain.

Very good restaurant.i recommend it

Real Italian food

Everything was perfect

The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The server was very nice. She brought a little bowl of water for our dog.

Stopped at this Restaurant for dinner. The service was great and the food delicious. Huge portions as I took more than half home. Definitely want to dine here again.

Staff were wonderful. Food exceptional.

I don t ever write a review, but I feel the need.I took a party of 20 into Johnny Rocco s for my husband s birthday. Service was slow, I ordered appetizers for my guest, rice balls, and bruschetta bread. I wanted the warm loafs with the toppings on top They decided to bring out platters of dried out bread with the toppings in a dish. It was terrible, rice balls were good. The food was awful. Chicken parm was wafer thin, pizza was burnt ( which was taken off of the bill). This place has gone down hill. Very pricey.

Went for our anniversary dinner last night, not the best service, had to ask for bread 3 times, same as a refill on my drink, had to ask for fresh cheese etc. Rice balls were fantastic as always, calamari could have been cooked a little longer and pasta dishes were warm at best. Just a off night I guess

Staff moves like a well oiled machine food is hot and fresh and arrives quickly it is a very happy, welcoming place to enjoy a great meal! Parking: Lots of parking spaces, easy to access from the street. Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to manoeuvre my walker, with enough room to fold it and keep it near me.

Noisy

Had a great experience, the food was decent, it took around 25 min to receive the food. Great quality/price.

Held a client appreciation dinner in the Barrel Room. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied with the chicken parm. Staff were very accommodating to the needs of clients.

Delicious food, good service Parking: Lots of parking Food : 5/5 |

We went for the all you can eat tapas and we loved how attentive the service was, a lot of times at all you can eat servers and food come slowly so you dont get as much, but not here. Everything was fantastic, well be back to try the things we didnt get to! Parking: Lots of free parking, we wouldnt go otherwise.

Great service, great food!

Me and my boyfriend went out to dinner at 9pm on Monday night. Stephanie was our waitress. She was so amazing. She was fast, friendly, funny and made our dinner so special. Thank you so much:) we will definitely be back

Went tonight for all you can eat Tapas. It was a great night with awesome food. I would definitely recommend it. The food was fantastic and the service was great... no complaints... well be back!

I ordered the Sicilian Calzone - lots of food, tasted great. My wife ordered GF Pasta with meat and dairy free sauce. The sauce was not as good as our last visit at JRSTC.

Jordana was our server & she was very kind & pleasant. We had veal parm ceaser & salad & a large chicken salad & soup. This place was busy

Great ambience and great food. Service was good too! I feel they need to work on their dishwasher or the system in place as crockeries were not the greatest in terms of cleaning and wet, did not give a hygienic feel. May be we were a table of 12.

Always been my go to in St catharines. We had family from out of town and had ranted and raved about tapas Thursdays so we decided to go. Our reservation was 530, so yes absolutely peak dinner. Service was slow- we were seated for nearly an hour before our first round came out. Drinks werent refilled, we had to ask 3 times for water. We ordered things over and over but never got them. Half of the food was cold, dips and sauces forgotten. Its a great value on a normal night but when we went it was pretty bad. I offered my rewards card and was ignored. Just genuinely a bad experience unfortunately. 6 people total and 2 left hungry

We were at hotel and stopped in for dinner. Heather gave spot on recommendations. We had the NY and Ribeye. They were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Italian wedding soup was delicious. Say yes to the rice balls. Reasonably priced and a relaxing but elegant atmosphere. I cannot recommend highly enough.

My favourite place! Always have the best service, amazing food, and a fun time

A good place for Italian food, The staff were attentive and friendly and the food is good especially when you compare the prices of other similar levels of dining in the area.

Awesome! Christian was an awesome server. The food was good and the value of all you can eat tapas is unbelievable. Fully recommend. Maybe with a wheelbarrow to exit the restaurant in after all that food!

Heather was the best server we ever had in our life! We had no idea what we wanted when we came in and she guided us to the most delicious and perfect menu decisions. thank you Heather! You are a star!!!

Johnny Rocco is my go to place great food great service reasonable price. I have never been disappointed. I ordered a steak cooked medium and it was tender, flavourful, I give it a 10 out of 10. Parking: Always a place to park even when busy

++ We ordered the Veal Parmesan dinner for 4 for a work lunch. I asked that 1 of the chicken breasts be gluten and lactose free. They provided the order of 4 + an extra, separate meal of the gf chicken and pasta. Bonus! -- The plain chicken breast had no flavour and was over-cooked but the pasta and everything else was perfect. Thank you. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for gluten free and lactose free food.

Peter was our server. Very friendly and helpful. We had Chicken and Shrimp Pasta. Tastefully prepared. Overall our experience was amazing. If you are in the neighbourhood you should certainly drop by.

My wife and I stopped here to eat dinner the last day of our vacation before we drove back to the US. All I have to say is WOW! The food is amazing - definitely one of the top Italian restaurants we ve been to (and we have a lot of Italian restaurants near us). The atmosphere is really nice as well, and it was cool to be able to see the pizza coming out of the wood fired oven from where we sat. We got the rice balls for an appetizer and we were so glad we did - they are phenomenal! This restaurant is now saved on our list of places to eat at the next time we travel to Ontario!

server was really great and the service was really fast! However the food was pretty bad and made me sick to the point where I returned to my hotel and threw up! My boyfriend seemed fine and to enjoy his food so maybe it was just my meal.

Amazing tapas and entertainment for our entire family. Staff is fun and food is so delicious. A favourite place to go for us

Just had a Margherita pizza at this restaurant. The mozzarella cheese was non existent on the pizza, it was basically just a sauce pizza with some basil. Way too expensive, they charge $19 for it! The crust was okay, crunchy all right. I won t be there for a long time. I suggest you to take a trip to Italy to actually enjoy a nice pizza margherita.

Have not eaten there. The food looks really good. Stopped for an afternoon, Sangria, and that was really good

We went on Tapas night. It was great being able to try all the different types of food on the menu. Portions were just enough, now we will be able to order more things we like

Food....AMAZING!! Friendly staff! Nice atmosphere.. Even better pricing. Great place all around Rice Balls are a must have!

Pizza base is freshly baked in the oven Pizza fillings come with a variety of ingredients (remember to ask for olives if you are afraid it will be too salty) The salmon is so big The lobster in the lobster pasta is stuffed in the pasta, so special

Wonderful family dinner experience. All staff were friendly and attentive especially a kind young man Stefan Kid-friendliness: My children had a great meal and a wonderful experience.

Awesome! Heather is the best ! Best service, knowledgeable and helpful! Awesome!

The takeout was un acceptable. Tasteless, cold and the Caesar salad that you pay more for was old and wilty

Great Italian food stone baked pizza with unique recipes

Stephanie!!! Amazing server. Personality and quite attentive to our family. Thanks for everything. Food was excellent. Stephanie is A+++. Thank you for everything!

This was an amazing experience. The food was amazing and the quality was way more than expected. We were there with a party of nineteen. The server was exceptional. We did not feel neglected at all. The Italian wedding soup and the salmon was spectacular. I would so recommend and go back again. Thank you so much.

Was a fantastic event! Breakfast was awesome and the service was great, as well. The Tableland Ministries service was great as well.

Large group of us in back room. Caesar salad could use a kick up - bland and basic. Too many cores of romaine. Shrimp was good.

Very popular. Would advise reservations for groups on the weekends. Because its busy and food is made fresh, we found the was a longer than average waits to get our drinks from the bar (even water!), as well as our food. We ate our appetizers and finished it and still had nothing to drink. We were not upset at our server, we understood it was busy. But in hindsight i was disappointed about not even providing us water at the start when we asked for it from the beginning. Our server tho was friendly enough. Everything was tasty. I would still go back. Parking is free. Kid-friendliness: Pretty family oriented. Large groups spanning different generations.

Brunch food was adequate at best. Wedding food was good! Check in was seamless and enjoyable. Rooms very really nice.

The waitress forgot the bread and instead of saying i apologize, Ill bring it right out, she said its in the oven i cant control everything. Then she stacked plates full of food and served it to us, gross and unsanitary. Shed rather sit by the bar and chat with her colleagues than do her job. Tips are not mandatory and reflect service.

Fantastic!!!

Nice older building. Food was good as well as the service. Wood fired pizza.

Heather was our awesome server! We had a great evening. My husband and I took my parents here and it was their first time. The food was good as usual but Heather made our night .

My wife and I spent some time in Niagara on the Lake last weekend. This was our favourite place to eat. Our server Jade was phenomenal. Our food was excellent and we loved the atmosphere. We will definitely return here if we ever revisit the region.

Eggplant parm so good it put me in labour.

Ordered in. It was okay, but my calzone was burnt on the outside and under cooked inside. I gave 3 stars as the others in the group thought it was fine.

Everything was amazing! Great service and food!

Good place for dinner whit family or friends I really like rice balls

Amazing food and service! Chicken parm is top tier

Our first time here and we are not impressed. The rice balls are so bland, basically some dry rice with a little piece of cheese in the middle and deep fried and a little bit of sauce. The coconut shrimp - hard to find the shrimp! The lobster ravioli was just awful! No lobster taste and the sauce is overwhelming with a strong acidic taste, must be lemon. I hate to say it but Olive Garden would be better, at least their salad is better. I would definitely not come back or recommend the food here to anyone, especially real Italians.

I ve been eating here for years and the food has really gone downhill. The drinks aren t great either. Three sips and it s gone. It s a shame because the atmosphere is great. Staff are friendly. But the food is what I went for and really disappointed- Niagara location

Food good enough. Service is good enough. Friendly staff.

This was very disappointing. My family had to first choose a menu to eat from, we couldn t each decide. Then your new tapas of $32 per person makes that option no longer possible. So a fun night out turned to stress right away with us having us all to be forced to the same . Please fire your marketing advisor. This doesn t work. Btw, I use to come out every Thursday night religiously.

We always enjoy our meals here. Staff is awesome and the food delicious. Just tried their wings, super surprised how good they were.

Beautiful restaurant, the food is good and they bring you the food in proper order, appetizer full course meal then your desert, service was good too - they actually have a sense of humor

Excellent place for living and food. Impressive lobby with couches, rooms and food Vegetarian options: All veg options are really good Parking: Plenty and free parking Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Exceptional food will definitely be back

Our server was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Always a good night out with friends at this restaurant.

Always a good experience.

Staff has always been lovely. Friendly and efficient. Menu is smaller which is fantastic as everything on it is wonderful. Flavourful and subtle without being overpowering. Would definitely recommend. I had their calamari diabolo to start and their chicken figaro panini for lunch. Sweet and spicy is definitely my go-to!

We can always count on a great experience at JRs. Thanks for the great evening!

Love this place. Wood fire pizza and mussels are my go to

We had Thursday night all you can tapas. The food was all really tasty. Great value. Our server Lindsay was AWESOME. We ll definitely be back.

Ordered the Arancini balls and fettuccine Alfredo with a Caesar salad and definitely not impressed with my food. Arancini balls were delicious as usual but the Alfredo left a lot to be desired. First of all they were late getting my order ready and I was picking it up before work so I was not happy about that since they had more than 2 hours notice of my pick up time. Secondly when I was taking the food out of the bag it was all packed in cardboard boxes so the box was already soggy and the food on top crushed the soggy pasta box. The pasta box was squashed so much that the lid was mushed into my pasta. There wasn t very much pasta and it was sauced very very lightly. Very disappointing for the $27 I paid for the pasta dish. Will never order from them again.

The food was missing seasoning. The soup had almost no flavour. The rice balls are not seasoned at all, so youre basically eating steamed rice. Our server, although nice, spilt our drinks as she poured them at the table (which we thought was strange anyways), spilt the oil from the bread all over the table, and spilt the soup when putting it down. A little more attention to care here would have been great, not even a sorry or acknowledgement.

Great place! I enjoyed the veal parmigiana.

Always great food and service. After recently trying the chicken parm at another, recently opened Italian restaurant, I can say that Johnny Rocco s parm is the best. I ve never ordered anything that has not been perfectly prepared. Portions are large and the drink menu is extensive. Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant has wide aisles.

Ordered the chicken parm family meal. The chicken was bland and tasteless. It was two very thin breasts cut in half to make the four portions not four breasts as displayed in their website pictures. The pasta was mediocre at best little sauce and dried out. I will not recommend this restaurant or eat their food again. I know others will have different opinions and experiences than myself but this was my experience last night. I

Sat at Bar, great service had burger and wine. Excellent. Recommend

I had a great burger at the restaurant, service was incredibly fast!

Wow! We are not from close by and we had an incredible experience. Josh our server was incredibly hospitable; working in the industry I always notice when people go above and beyond, which he did. Also, the pizza was AMAZING.

Josh was Da MAN!!

Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. Could not ask for a better dinner right after a hard fought tournament. Server Josh and Jessica were the best Vegetarian options: Great selection Parking: Very spacious Kid-friendliness: Friendly menu Wheelchair accessibility: Good

The vibe and ambience at this location is very nice. We come here for the comfy chairs, TVs and great service/food! Heather is our favourite server. She is down to earth and personable. We recommend this location and Heather!

Meal was Cold . Not impressed at all. App was Cold ... rice balls good but Cold. Will not be comin back.... They had to make a new one for me to go. Ridiculous... Vegetarian options: I got the vegetariana calzone ... was so Cold. They day they care. I didnt even get a chance to eat with my family. They said I hope youll come back. At those prices not on your life. Ill go to The Keg ... you strive to over charge. You couldnt care less about this review.

Peter was amazing! Displayed excellent knowledge the menu and gave us some great recommendations! Great service and made sure we had everything we needed! Will definitely be back!

Great food. Peter is an amazing server he took care of my friends and I all night with great service. Can t wait to come back and hopefully get Peter as our server again

First time at the St Catharines location. Better than the falls imo, super informative waiter, think his name is Peter. Overall great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning again. The chicken parm awesome. Food

This is our favorite restaurant we go for the food the price Peter our waiter has been our waiter since we met him but all the staff is great from the owner down to the hostess

March 2024, Welcomed by staff when i came thru the door, server was kind and knowledgeable. I ordered the special of the day, but a few moments later they ran out. With out hesitation the server offered an apology and alternative to the special. Thats how its done, keep your customer happy. Food , atmosphere and top notch staff. I enjoyed my experience and will recommend Johnny Roccos to anyone. Just go to Johnnys and enjoy. :)

First time visiting with my friend and service excellent, friendly, food was awesome , along with atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place. Parking: Plenty of parking

Food was excellent. Ordered 2 dishes. They brought first dish and we have waiting almost 20 mins for 2nd dish to come our table.

It was our first time there and I have just one word in our service this evening, FANTASTIC service by Josh E, what a truely and amazing gentlemen as a waiter the BEST service from 1 to 10 his passionate service, actions and words were just wow all of the above and more and we will return to your very ckean and exstremly restraint just wooooow and our complements to your manager and chef this evening very genuine by heart and very friendly , again just FANTASTIC thank you, our best experience ever as far as a resturaunt is concerned, truel an unforgettable night and I recommend anyone to go to Johnny Rocco s because you will be blown away, 10 stars

The food there is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes that are bursting with flavours.

Good food, but it s expensive.

Nice dinner with friends

Kid-friendliness: kids eat free Monday Food

Just had my birthday here 2 days ago with 30 guests. They went over and beyond accommodating us and the service was excellent. Food was very good except for my gluten free pizza which I would highly not ever advise anyone to order. The crust is bad. Sauce is delicious and I did eat it but was tough to do so. Thanks to management , cooks and servers on making the night a huge success !

Thank you for a great dinner. Ryan was fantastic as our bartender!

This Johnny Rocco s location is NOT a safe space for POC. My mother took me out for birthday dinner to a restaurant of my choice and I chose Johnny Rocco s because of their great food. The entire time that we were there, we watched our server tend and check on all of her other tables frequently while we were ignored the whole time. My mother and I had to ask our server the same question multiple times because they ignored us and wouldn t help to the point where my mother had to go to the bar herself to have our request fulfilled. We were the only POC sat in our servers section all the other tables in their section were white people. They made us feel like we weren t welcomed or even worth their time. She even went out of her way to give us our bill without us asking for it, and we still had full alcoholic beverages to finish and weren t ready to leave. After giving us our bill and paying, the server continued to walk by our table adding pressure on us to leave even though we weren t ready. We had only been there for about an hour which is a normal time for dining in a restaurant so it wasn t that we had stayed longer than we needed to. Overall, it felt like because we were of a different race, she didn t want do serve us and did everything she could to make it a bad experience for us. Wouldn t recommend supporting this business. I will also be leaving my review on Yelp in case this restaurant deletes my Google review. UPDATE: They are also ignorant. If you are a POC, then you know that ANY race is capable of being racist. We work with people of all cultures and ethnicities sounds a lot like I can t be racist because my friend is a POC. You can date, work, and be friends with POC and still be racist. Do better.

Our server had way too many tables, not his fault

Always a great meal with a good vibe.

Soshawn and the staff are phenomenal. Thank you for a great experience!

Loved the mushroom pasta Lovely place Food

Servers are welcoming, food is great as always!

Place looked cute, service was good and quick, food was nasty. Would not recommend to a friend. Linguine Alfredo tastes like a stick of butter. Burger tastes only like mayo, Calamari Fritti Diavolo tastes like sour vinegar sweaty armpits when it was supposed to be spicy.

Great place to go for a nice dinner. Staff was very friendly, atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Service was very quick! Lots of variety available and good prices.

My family tried Johnny Roccos for the first time last night - and what a treat it was. The place itself is gorgeous, the food was delicious but the staff went above and beyond: I brought three children under age seven, and they tossed the pizza dough high and fancy to entertain them, then even let them make their own mini pizzas during a mid-dinner time lull. I cannot overstate how lovely and unexpected it was - and Im a tough reviewer. Thank you for a night they wont soon forget :)
