Rocco's Italian Sausages & Cheese Steaks — Restaurant in New York

surprising location in a space carved into the front of a Home Depot with four other locations in Philadelphia. Stand up dining only inside and despite what you may read in other reviews, this location does take cards. Menu includes breakfast sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks-including chicken and Portobello mushroom versions, and Italian sausages. Very friendly staff behind the counter immediately offered a sausage sample while we looked over the menu. This was of the sweet Italian and was delicious. Grill man compared it to a Bratwurst. There is also a hot Italian which I cannot report on. Sausages are all prepared with peppers and onions, unless requested otherwise. Wife and I both chose to do a sweet Italian sausage, no peppers on one as they do not agree with my partner. Once served, it was immediately apparent that one would have sufficed to share. They are huge! Easily enough for two. So we just dove in and enjoyed as much as we could. Planning for leftovers. The flavor profile is really just a perfect amount of Italian flavor with a bit of bite from black pepper (I think). Wonderful rolls used here, crisp but dense. And the sausage is just as good the next day. Not what I’d call a great location or fine dining, but if your in the mood for anything they offer, worth the efforts. They are within an easy walk of any of the outdoor spaces nearby such as Flushing Meadows Corona Park or Queens Botanical Garden, which might appeal more than...

Love, love, love this cheesesteak place.

OVERALL: Family Friendly: Yes but its a to go place Pet Friendly: No, you need to step inside to order Parking: Home Depot parking lot

FOOD: Combo #7 Rocco's Special ($16.00): 5-Stars - this is the bomb! Even better than the cheesesteaks I've had in Philly. This is overstuffed gooey cheese with super thin slices of beef mixed with onion and peppers. It just the right about of gooey that melded the bread with sauce but not so much that the bread fell apart.

RESTAURANT: This was a recommendation from my brother in law and i was a little skeptical because its "in the home depot." On the west coast, i'm use to a Hot Dog cart in front of the home depot (between the enter/exit doors) but i"ve never seen a to-go built into the home depot.

MENU: I call this a good selection because i'm a complete breakfast sandwich and cheesesteak lover but this is probably not the place if you have any dietary restrictions lol

SERVICE: There was only two people working in this little to-go place, the cashier and the cook. Both are friendly but the Type A in me which they did a better job explaining size and cost difference. Their little printed menu has XXL size but nothing else... so when i asked what other size they have and what is the difference, it was this weird confusing conversation that i kind of just...

When I went to pick up my food and saw only Latinos working behind the counter I was a little worried the food might not be authentic. But onnce I got back to work.

Ah, mamma mia! Let me tell you about this spicy and sweet Italian sausage I had. The moment it hit my lips, it was like a symphony of flavors straight from Nonna's kitchen. The spice? Bellissimo! It had just the right kick to make you say, "Eh, life’s too short not to live a little dangerously!" And the sweetness? Like a kiss from a beautiful signorina on a summer night in Napoli.

As I savored each bite, I swear, I could feel my chest hair sprouting, one glorious strand at a time. By the time I finished, I was ready to grab an accordion and serenade the whole neighborhood. This sausage, my friend, is not just food—it’s a celebration of life, amore, and the fiery passion of Italy...
