Rocco Italiano — Restaurant in Wolverhampton

We were a group of 4 and chose to eat here before the Status Quo concert, which was on at the nearby Halls. We were early and it was a little quiet in the restaurant, being an early evening midweek, but this suited us as we were limited for time. They did seem to be doing quite a good trade on takeout / delivery orders, which was nice to see.

The restaurant itself was fabulous, and the food was enjoyed by all. We ate across the menu - a few starters, some bread and olives, mains included fish (seabass), fish pasta, steak in a peppercorn sauce, and a chicken dish, with sides of chips and vegetables. We also had wine and beer.

The staff were lovely and friendly, and also the owner, who was very accommodating, and made us all feel welcome. We were given a choice of table on arrival, and we all enjoyed the experience.

Unfortunately we didnt have time for deserts or coffees, but we had a great time, and had a nice chat to the owner about the concert as we were leaving.

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and great value. It worked out about £30 per head, which was very good given that included several glasses of wine, a bottle of wine, beer, starters, and some of the more expensive main courses. We would definately go back again the next time we are in...

Well it's a shame because this is a great restaurant in a great location but the food is not authentic and very disappointing..I'll start with the bruschetta it's some moody toasted garlic bread with tasteless warm tomatoes and dried herbs sprinkled on top..no fresh plum tomatoes with onion and fresh basil..you could get a Sainsbury baguette slice and too with these ingredients and it would be amazing the chicken pasta dish lacked flavour and I covered it in salt and parmesan but still struggled to enjoy..the spag bol.was good...the seafood mixed grill no seasoning very very bland no decent sauce and the salad was poor cheap cheap packaged salad and an mediocre dressing..the young kids in the kitchen should of given us an insight to what we were to expect we will pay good money for good food..but when you cook better at home it's not worth it..I hope they can manage a day out to Sorrento Stratford upon Avon and they can indulge in authentic Italian food if they could come half way close to this they would be packed out nightly instead of over half empty I hate giving bad reviews but this is a gold mine and if they were to reduce the cooks and invest in one excellent one and a helper they...

After looking forward to dining at Roccos..what a massive disappointment..the place was cold ,dark.we were sat by the window on small table next to other diners,very close.we ordered wine,then we ordered starters..I had garlic prawns,my wife had mushroom.Mine was just ok,my wife's was awful a over loaded plate of wet salad with a Luke warm mushroom with barley melted cheese,it wasn't very nice.so when the plates were moved,within a minute our mains arrived,we barley finished starters.i had fillet steak,it was nice,my wife had chicken and prawns in white wine sauce,omg she had to saw through it..it was so so dry and had a hard skin all over it like it had been in the microwave... absolutely terrible...I way could she eat this.Beleive me or not we never normally complain,but for fine dining this was a joke.we had planned a nice night out.We thought we were in for a treat...we would of had dessert and coffee as you do,but couldn't wait to get out of ther..what a shame,we got taxi there had a meal and taxi home in 90mins..what a shame... hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else..very very...
