🇺🇸 Rochester Italian Gem | Rocco 🍝💫

📍 Address: 165 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14607 Stumbled upon this cozy spot after the Christmas market – with a 4.6⭐ Google rating and dim, warm lighting, it’s perfect for date night! 😉❤️ 1️⃣ Mushroom Risotto 🍄 So comforting and generous with the mushrooms! Loved how this dish felt both familiar and delicious – almost like a cozy Italian twist on Chinese congee. Definitely a must-order! 2️⃣ Grilled Octopus 🐙 Tender, smoky, and coated in a fragrant basil sauce with a hint of lime and orange – so fresh and flavorful! 3️⃣ Clam Pasta 🍤 Unfortunately, this was oversalted and underseasoned at the same time (how?!). Not our favorite – you can skip it. A charming little spot with hits and misses – but when they hit, they really shine! ✨ Have you been to Rocco?
