Rocco's Family Restaurant

Sunday visit - Great service from the gentleman behind the pizza counter. Garlic knots were the best and the pizza was tasty. Salad slice was one of the best I’ve had. Will definitely return

Delicious entrees, huge portions. The garlic knots are the best anywhere. Its good and friendly staff and family are why this New City fixture has stayed in business for so long. Great for families

Pizza here is always good. Lots of cheese, a good amount of sauce and they spread it pretty fully over the pie so crust isn’t wide and dry. Garlic knots are excellent. Always a cozy atmosphere with the music and booths.

I’m sorry but the chicken here is terrible. I’m a long time customer and things like the chicken francese are so much worse than they used to be. The chicken itself is not tender, is firm and has a grimy bite to it. Who wants chicken that seems like it wasn’t fully defrosted? And this happens nearly every time. You can barely even cut through the chicken. Very lame for a self claimed family restaurant. Does the owners family eat the chicken here?

We went here for an 18 person dinner. The service at times was a little slow(but friendly), overall though, everything was really good! Nice big room was ready for us when we arrived with some background music for Italian atmosphere. Our lunch was fresh caesar salad, vodka sauce pasta and entree. Mine was very good and heard little complaining. I had eggplant rollatine...it was delicious. The garlic knot rolls were so good!!! Gotta try those.😊

You can always count on Rocco's for good pizza and salad. Their creamy Italian dressing is the best and they have special balsamic vinegar that is soooo delicious you want to put it on everything. Their garlic knots are unforgettable!! Even the entrees are always good with the exception of their Alfredo..

This is place is very well known in New City so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a pizza and the customer service that I got was very dry and direct which is fine the person doing order probably is doing one million things at once. The reason for my rating is the pizza, the dough was very saggy and undercooked no crunch to it at all. I was disappointed I will give it another try.

Delicious home cooked Italian cuisine with excellent service and prices. Very happy with my visit to Rocco's after so many years. I forgot what I was missing. This is a full fledged Italian restaurant that blows away any of these "pizza shops" in the area. Come with your family, enjoy a hot home-cooked meal, and if you are in the mood for pizza, they make great pies. You won't be disappointed when coming to Rocco's. I will be a regular!

Rocco's is the best!!! My granddaughter, who lives in Texas wanted to spend her 8th birthday with her family in NY. So, we decided to have Rocco's cater our party. We had been to the restaurant several times so we already knew the food was terrific. This time was no exception! We had eggplant rollatini, chicken francese, and gluten free baked ziti along with a beautiful house salad and garlic knots. We also ordered chicken fingers, french fries and pizza for the kids. Rocco's also supplied us with plenty of Italian bread and 2 types of dressing for the salad. Vinnie delivered the food a little earlier than expected which was great! He and his assistant set up all the warming trays and sternos in no time. Since the food arrived piping hot, our guests didn't have to wait to eat at all. The trays stayed hot throughout the party as well. Everyone raved about the food and we were extremely delighted with everything! The gluten free pasta was wonderful as well!! We couldn't have been happier and will make Rocco's our first choice in the future!! Thanks again Rocco's!! You helped turn our gathering into a memorable event!!

Always a great dinner here. They take care of you. Food always on point. Portions are huge . Staff awesome. They give u garlic knots and they are dangerous. Huge lot.

Awesome service, amazing food, and great atmosphere as always! Everything I've ever had here has been so good and fresh! My mom today ordered a small chef salad and it was HUGE! 2 people could have shared it. She's super picky too when it comes to her salads and she said it was excellent!

Came here with some close friends and their family member. Located in a strip shopping center that has some good food places. It's family owned and opened about 40 years ago. It speaks to a good old traditional Italian pizzeria turned restaurant. Simple decor, clean, polite staff, very reasonable prices, good size portions and plenty of space. They even have a room for private parties and they have a bar. Would have loved to try the pizza as I heard it's great. That will be one for the next visit. We started with a few appetizer....fried garlic knots, fried calamari, baked clams, and pecan crusted chicken salad. All the dishes were very good and filling. For entrees we had the Chicken Marsala. Chicken Magdellana, shrimp Francese all the entrees offer a choice of pasta, fries or salad. Everything was fresh, very filling and very reasonable priced. We were not rushed and spent a few hours there. Our waiter from very accommodating. They have free parking so worries there either. Overall highly recommended and even though it's a hike for me of about 40 miles I would go back.

The food was average mozzarella sticks were pretty good although the pizza was ok. The service was not good we were there for at least 2 hours waiting for our food.

Great food, good service Rocco's has a lot of the classic Italian dishes. The decor is beautiful ambiance, and not overly done. I would highly recommend Rocco's for both walk-in casual dining experience and a nice quiet date night.

Food is great. Penne vodka with sausage and garlic knots are my go to. Usually order takeout, rather than dining in.

I have to say not many restaurants survive as long as this establishment. You can always count on Rocco's to give you a lot of food and good quality. I ordered the meat Stromboli and the Caesar salad. Both were good. This is a very reliable restaurant and it's one of my go to places in New City!

Was there very late right before closing. They sat us at the bar. We both had 2 premium slices (slices with toppings) and bottled beer. Maybe I didn't realize the latest prices, but total bill came to $42. Guess Rocco Jr figured a generous tip was in order and included it.

Ordered 6' chicken cutlet sub and eggplant subs for my daughter's graduation party and everyone loved them!

It's All Good! Love the garlic knots! Large servings!! The specials are delish and the standbys are there for you who dont want something different

There's nothing like going to a restaurant and being treated with kindness and respect. The staff here go out of their way to attend to you in a very unique old fashioned manner by actually caring about you while you're there. In today's world this is so rare. In addition to the niceness the food is pretty darn good.

Old style pizzeria with great food. Try the potato and eggs hero or the sausage and peppers. Pizza is good but I prefer wood fired thin pizza. Service is good and it looks llike an Italian restaurant/ pizzeria but clean and accommodating

Stopped in for lunch while in the area. Impressive selection of pizza by the slice, that are unusual e.g., calamari, and large. Will return. What also made the entire experience memorable was the service. Our waiter, Aguiro#4, according to the bill was the best we have encountered in a long time. He was a real professional who knows people and their needs. He was attentive, but not the over-bearing type who are just trying to impress for a tip. Well done and thank you.

We took our family there last night for dinner. We couldn't have been more pleased. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff was very friendly. We had family from Italy with us and they thought the food was exceptional.

Rocco's is a great go to for lunch or dinner. The service is friendly, the portions are plenty, and everything is delicious. They start each meal with huge garlic rolls. Love this place.

I visited Rocco's the other evening, after first calling to see if they make the "Grandma's Pizza.". They answered that they do. The restaurant was extremely busy that evening, so we did expect to wait. They serve a salad and garlic knots with each pizza, and the knots were scrumptious. The woman server that we had was wonderful. When the pizza came out I was expecting plum San Marzano tomatoes, and was surprised when regular pizza sauce was on this pie. It tasted more like a Sicilian pizza than Grandmas. The crust was what you would expect in a normal pizza. Disappointed with this "Grandma." TommyGee

Was back in NY for a short trip and when the wife mentioned pizza, she specifically said the slice at Rocco's with the sauce and garlic, no cheese. It was as good as she remembered, I tasted it and it really was. Nice to see Rocco at the bar on a Friday night. Been a long time, thanks for keeping up the tradition.

My husband and I have Rocco's every Friday night and it never disappoints! Pizza is the best around with generous toppings. Sandwiches are filled and the bread is always fresh. Since we cook at home a lot, take out has to be great for us to come back over and over again. The staff is always friendly even though it's super busy. We have never eaten in the dining room but can only imagine that having the food fresh from the oven would only make it better.

My fiancé and I were here recently and ordered food to be had in the restaurant. We noticed all the seated customers were much older seniors. The food we ordered was penne vodka with chicken, chicken marsala over linguini, and a garlic bread. The garlic bread was lackluster, tasted and looked to be mostly garlic powder sprinkled on for flavoring. There was an extremely long gap between the bread and salad before we got our entrees even though there was very few people. Wait staff barely checked in with us. The penne vodka with chicken - the chicken cutlet was dry and over done and the sauce was bland. The chicken Marsala was also over done, somehow the chicken was mushy, the garlic was still raw slices in it, sauce was bland, and the linguini was under done. The portions are very large but if the food is not good, what is the point? I would not come back here again as I feel the good reviews do not accurately reflect the food or service you actually receive.

Stopped by for some takeout and oh my oh my. The waiter recommended the chef's special. This is a seafood galore: clams, mussels, and shrimps in tomato sauce over linguine. I was not expecting that much food. I was told it could feed two people, but it fed four people and we were all stuffed. Everything tasted good. The garlic knots were fresh and garlicky! Yum! The Flatbread was also good. None of the vegetables were overcooked. It was a great appetizer to our meal. Overall, good food. The staff was nice as I waited for the food.

Can't get enough of this place!! From the moment you walk in your mouth will start watering!! The pizza oven on the left and of course the desserts staring at you when you walk in and the smell of Italian food!! We're always greeted by Vinny or his brother and they genuinely are happy to see you! The food.... Where do I start? We always start off with the Garlic balls and sauce!! Omg I could eat them all day long! Nowhere else compares to their Garlic Balls and sauce!! I usually get the chicken parm dinner or the chicken scarperiello and the dishes are always amazing and portions are enormous! Plenty of leftovers for the next day. Desert anyone? The best cheese cake around and the cannoli are amazing . The Service is outstanding and they really make you feel like family when you're there. We drive an hour each way just to eat at Rocco's cause there just isn't anywhere that compares!! Highly recommend you try this Restaurant I promise you won't be disappointed!!

Has been a staple in New City for over 35 years and still has great service, is family owned and the food is always excellent. Hands down best garlic Knott's ever, no others even compare.

Great pizza for our Halloween Party. It had a parking lot. We did pick up. Worth it if you want a pie.

Clean, classy joint. Slices were awesome! Can't wait to try the dishes. The desserts look sinfully delicious (two slices dictated no to them). Already looking forward to returning. So much to try

Been coming here since I was a kid in high school in the late 80s. Always consistent l, great food. The best garlic knots you will ever eat. Friendly staff that had worked there for decades. Large portions. So glad they survived Covid.

I loved the pizza here. Rocco's serves up big, hearty slices. They feature thick crust but no where near as thick as the bread that is Chicago style pizza. The chicken and broccoli slice was great, especially right out of oven. Perfect crisp and big flavor. Unfortunately I had to let the veggie slice sit around an hour or so and it get a bit soggy. Obviously that was on me. Thankfully the full vegetable flavor was still there. You are going to pay roughly $5 a slice but one slice feeds one (reasonable) person. I had almost two and I was quite full. Rocco's has a full restaurant section too but I have only done pizza to go.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with the family. We just had pizza and garlic knots but we've been here a few times before for dinner as well. If you like massive servings of Italian food this is the spot for it. I personally find the food average. I ordered a Fresca slice which was huge. I had to eat it with a fork and knife and it was still a bit messy. I've had much better Frescas in the area. My son had a plain slice which was very good and my wife had a mushroom slice which she enjoyed as well. The garlic knots are fantastic and the marinara sauce for dipping was pretty good. When we've been for dinner we always found the food to be just ok. Decent Italian food, huge servings and well priced. You'll always have leftovers to bring home. The service is always good and you'll always see the same people working there. I'll definitely be back but there are some other good options in the area.

Since the day it opened, through all of my high school years, and even now every time I visit New City, Roccos is my go to place. My kids grew up visiting Gramma and now crave Rocco's too. The garlic rolls! I mean there is no place like Rocco's for those babies. Love their Shrimp parm , and everything is delicious. Also it's the family feeling you get at this family run business that really makes it Rocco's.

First I'd like to say what friendly and warm service I received the minute I stepped in the shop. Second, the Pizza was as authentic New York as it gets. It was absolutely delicious ! I plan to make it a tradition to stop by there when I visit my sisters in Stony Point.

Came here yesterday. It was amazing as always. Service is always top tier, the food is always fresh, and perfect. The staff treats you like family. I've been coming here for over 30 years. I will continue to go. I'll see you guys in two weeks.

There isn't a better pizza slice in the New City area than Rocco's, but that's not the half of it. Rocco's is an institution because ROCCO is an institution and he is still there after 40 years. A jovial man, he is a pleasure to see there, and he has instilled the same gregariousness in his sons who have taken a larger role over time. Their pasta fagioli soup is second-to-none and their chicken parmagiana is the XXXX. If you're in New City and you're in the mood, go to Rocco's... and if you're not in the mood, GET in the mood!

Was back in my hometown unexpectedly after a change in our Christmas Eve plans and on short notice, we needed to find a place to get lunch takeout for four adults and a toddler. All of our meals (chicken and veal parmigiana, chicken francese and chicken marsala) were excellent, minestrone soup was delicious and hearty, and the garlic knots were a hit. They didn't miss a single item in the order and the prices were amazingly reasonable for the large portions. I appreciate the friendly staff accommodating us and a gluten-free order. It made our holiday lunch stress-free and enjoyable. Will order from them again before I travel home!

My first, and definitely not my last visit to Rocco's was one to be remembered. I was out on my lunch hour, running errands-cuz you know, that's life. I was running low on time and needed something quick. I went on Yelp and looked up pizzerias, Rocco's was #1 in the area. Turns out they were right up the street from the bank I was at. I called them to place my order and as soon as they picked up the phone, I was already impressed. They had me at "Thank you for calling Rocco's, how may we help you?" It wasn't the usual, generic "pick up or delivery? Name and phone number?" They were courteous on the phone and didn't rush me while I made up my mind. I asked how long a Sicilian slice with mushrooms, onions, and sausage would would take and was told "5-7 minutes" not the usual "15-20 minutes!" I placed my order and headed right over to Rocco's. This is where it all gets better... As soon as I walked in, I was surprised that its not only a pizzeria, but a full restaurant and bar. The smells of old school Italian recipes take over your senses. I always say you can tell a lot from the hospitality, cleanliness, and how/if customers are greeted when coming through the door. So here it goes: 1. I walked in and was greeted by Vinny-the owner of Rocco's. He was friendly and spoke to every customer that walked in as if he's known them forever. I could tell that they respected lunch hour and that most customers were running in and out quickly. The employee behind the counter also made quick conversations with customers. Numerous customers were familiar to the staff, I noticed some customers being referred to by their names. Noticing that they have repeat customers and "regulars" speaks volumes. 2. The restaurant floors, counters, and the bathroom (which I ran to while waiting) was very clean. 3. Every customer was greeted, not only by Vinny, but every employee in the front area of the restaurant and Vinny's brother and co-owner. (One customer told me the chicken marsala is a must try!) Onto the food...I ended up ordering an order of garlic knots as well. Absolute deliciousness! My slice was crispy, just like I asked for it. And sooooo good! The pizza and garlic knots tasted fresh, and the marinara sauce was on point! I can't say enough great things about Rocco's, their staff, their amazing food, cleanliness, service, and fair prices. Rocco's is so close to so many places and businesses that it will now be my stop on lunch whenever I'm in the area. Before I left, I even ordered a Superbowl Sunday food package. I will also be returning with my family for dinner at the restaurant at Rocco's. Their menu is full of choices that I can't wait to try, and I know my kids will love. All of this in less than 10 minutes! Thank you, Vinny, and the rest of the gang, at Rocco's. You've gained another loyal customer!

Always a go to Restaurant! Friendly staff and good food. A family old time favorite. Big portions!

Incredible!!! My family recommended fora birthday dinner and it did not disappoint!! the garlic balls were to die for, the money bags... ONG!! The DESSERTS!!!!! Holy cannoli! Life changing! Portions are massive so go hungry! I will be making this a staple when im visiting my parents in NY!!

We came to Rocco's on a day Agnello's Italian restaurant had turned their oven off to clean it. 3pm on a Friday. And we are glad we did because we are now fans of Rocco's and his friendly staff.

Great family-owned business. The garlic knots are legendary in our community

My son's review: "Pizza is my favorite in ur restaurant." He is right! The pizza is delicious!

I'd give them a 5 for the food. It was great. And for the ability to fulfill an order to go for 13 people! Great, too. But when we got home, we could not tell one dinner from the other - the eggplant parmigiana looks just like the chicken one. The pasta dishes look so much alike. And they gave us larger salads, like a salad for three in one container. Not a problem, had they just let us know! The containers for the pastas could have had the food inside's name written on the box. Just a heads up for anyone ordering similar looking dinners to go. But I look forward to returning there in the future - in person, hopefully, post COVID.

Delicious food! The amount of food you get is amazing. You'll never leave hungry. They use a forklift to bring your food over to the table . (Kidding) The specialty pizza pies and slices are all amazing, the desserts are also big and ridiculous. Everything is delicious. So much food, so delicious and the family is one of the nicest and friendliest families you'll ever meet in Rockland. This place is defiantly a place to come for lunch and dinner.

Old school Italian restaurant located in the strip mall in New City. this place has a hobby feeling when you walk in and everyone is super friendly they give you complimentary garlic rolls that are probably the best I've tasted a chicken parmesan sandwich is moist and soft and made fresh with amazing marinara sauce I got a cup of minestrone soup that was brimming with vegetables and not too salty. Definitely tasted made fresh

The parking lot is poorly lite and people drive too fast. The parking spaces are too tight and people double park. Time to move to another location. I won't be back

AWFUL garlic knots. Hard, greasy and not garlicky at all. Pizza wasn't the worst for a non-city area.

I ordered clams with the shrimp Alfredo, and I could drown in both these dishes!!! 10/10 would recommend!!!

Visiting the area we stopped here. The restrooms were immaculate first off. The service was superb. Our meals came with a garden salad which was more than ample. I ordered the pasta faglioi which was a meal in itself and one of the best I've ever eaten. Eggplant rollitini next chock full of ricotta cheese and many thin layers of deliciously prepared eggplant. The rolls not so good microwaved a bit much very tough. But eh everything else was great. My husband had the cheese ravioli Parmesan also wonderful. All the servers checked on us as they passed by. We are four hours from home we won't need another meal today!!!

10000000 stars!!! Every time we come from De to NY we make the hour trip to Rocco'a. we would drive 5 for it! They have the best food and deserts one could ask for and the family is so pleasant! we appreciate you!! we will be back ASAP!

The WORST customer service I have ever experienced at a pizza/pasta restaurant. They had people waiting for 45 min - 60 min after they asked them to arrive to pick up. Really terrible. Would give 0 stars if possible.

I am writing this review as a member of the Jawonio family in New City. (jawonio.org) Last week, Jawonio held their 2nd annual bowlathon for our children with special needs. Rocco donated all of the food and the heroes were fresh wonderful and spectacular, did I mention spectacular. And of course, best garlic knots around!! I highly recommend this truly family business and community partner. Not only do they "deliver" wonderful customer service, and are a warm and welcoming restaurant, but when the community is asked, Vinnie and Al say yes!! Really really recommend you go to Roccos, and thank them for their quality food and service, but appreciate them as part of what makes our community great!!
