Another memorable dinner at Johnny Rocco's. The management and staff make my husband and I feel special for every visit. They were able to accommodate our every request. Would love to see a beef short rib and a lamb shank on the menu and a seafood pasta. It was great to meet Tony Visca tonight. Highly recommend Johnny Rocco's

Our son was stationed in Niagara Falls, Canada working for one month and visited here several times. He was in love with the baked chicken penne, so on our visit we obviously had to stop here. We arrive for lunch right when they opened, so the restaurant was relatively empty. Sat in the bar and Andrew was our waiter. He was excellent and very attentive. For lunch, we had the baked chicken penne, Caprese, a cheese pizza and tiramisu for dessert. The Caprese was a generous portion, and very tasty. The tiramisu is some of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it. Additionally, I appreciated the fact that I was able to order from the diner menu as well as the lunch menu. Downstairs there’s a large catering/party area called the Wine Cellar. Looks like a great place for a large event. Overall, great food, and great service. Next time I’m back in the area I will visit again.

If you’re looking for Authentic Italian food outside the tourist loop, this is the place! Everything was fresh and made to order. The ambience and food were fabulous. The service and hospitality from the staff were wonderful. The building has a rich history of being over 100 years old. Make sure you go downstairs and check out the wine cellar. On Fridays and Saturday’s they have awesome live music. The restaurant’s soundtrack is great. We left there with full stomachs and hearts. Don’t miss the opportunity to dine here, you won’t regret it! - Austin and Michelle from Miami

Every time we’re in Niagara, my wife wants to go to Johnny Rocco’s for their Mushroom Ravioli. We went and I decided to get the same thing and so did her cousin. The waiter has probably never had an easier order. It is REALLY good. In my review I only gave the food four stars. That is because our Caesar Salad lettuce was limp and really could have used some more garlic and lemon in the dressing. Maybe some fresh cracked pepper too? I know it’s not the main course but to me, the sides are part of the experience and to earn 5 stars, they need to stand out too. We weren’t planning on getting dessert but when my wife heard Carrot Cake… we did. The carrot cake was spectacular. Since she got dessert I decided to try a dessert pizza. It was very good. I got mine with vanilla ice cream… which was then right choice. Be warned, it’s a two person dessert. We did sit on the patio. It was nice but it is a noisy intersection so a touch louder than we would have liked (but still worth sitting outside on a nice day). We’ll be back. But I do hope they work on their Caesar salads.
