Guests can begin a meal at Rocco’s with a classic prawn cocktail or a mixed Mediterranean platter to share with fellow diners. This marries tasty salami with dried tomato, olives, artichokes and Parmesan cheese; as well as fresh bread and olive oil for dipping. For a traditional Italian pasta fix, there’s hand rolled gnocchi with basil pesto or delicately filled ravioli.

A classic home-style burger is bound to delight fans of the bun, and comes generously topped with all the tasty trimmings.
For a delicious dessert, the chefs at Rocco’s cook up a cake of the day – which is ideally paired with a cup of the restaurant’s bean to cup Italian coffee; or the extensive wine, beer and lager list is great for those who fancy a tipple with pudding. Great for all the family, Rocco’s Food and Bar is a great local choice for fresh, flavoursome and authentic Italian food.
