the moment we stepped in, we were filled with a positive vibe! a delightful experience is what we experienced.
.
we started off with the complimentary foccasia bread with dips.

we ordered:
salad :
- insalata di rocco ( bursting with flavours of
fresh mushrooms, oven baked goat cheese, walnut and pine nuts, cherry tomatoes and mixed greens with in-house sweet balsamic dressing).

- antipasti trio ( choice of 3 appetizers)
- calamari friti (succulent rings, breaded and shallow fried served with marie rose dip and bbq honey).

pizza de rocco rocks. excellent taste of italian cuisines, nice ambience, super service all combined made our experience unforgettable. the supervisor ara took good care of all guests making sure she explained the menu in detail which helped us select properly. we stopped by this place when we were nearby. very soon they will open in dubai.

tomato & basil soup: classis tomato soup made from plum tomatoes. very thick in consistency. served with garlic bread on sides. superb taste.

antipasti misto is a huge portion of appetizers. homemadechickenstrips, mozzarella fritta, potato wedges with garlic bread. believe me the portion of appetizers itself is huge.

organic quinoa salad with cherry tomatoes, avocado, nuts, raisins and lime vinaigrette. pure organic taste, very enjoyable. vwry healthy too.

insalata di rocco is a salad with italian greens, olives, goat cheese, mushrooms with sweet balsamic dressing which was very refreshing and heavenly taste.

burrata pizza on wheat dough, this is one of my favourates. they did not disappoint me on this one but took it another motch up in taste.

paneer tikka pizza withchickenon wheat dough. wow, this is better than having paneer tikka with rotis. very indian. very original. this is the best pizza i have ever had. the wheat dough is very healthy.

virgin pina colada and fresh orange juice was very refreshing in summer time.

in desserts dont forget their homemade ice cream. i had their salted caramel and walnut with dates. both were different and we cannot get these flavors anywhere. the belgium chocolate moose is out of this world. took us to heaven in taste. will never forget this ezperience.

our tradition is 'pizza tuesday' .. bored of pizza hut we decided to try here, sat outside, great atmosphere...we ordered garlic bread with parmesan and bruschetta for starters and two pizzas for main courses...
no sooner had our order been taken than a waiter arrived with little squares of the most deliciously warm pizza bread and garlic oil, parmesan and pesto sauce dips as an appetiser...
the starters arrived... piping hot garlic bread, so hot it burnt my mouth! bruschetta was delicious and when i asked for balsamic vinegar it arrived immediately!
i had thechickenand jalapeño pizza ... it was huge!! totally good value for money!
the waiters were amazing, efficient, friendly and not in your face!
will definitely be back!

the place is located in the square next to hbz football stadium and exactly behind starbucks.
visited this place with 2 of my friends and we were welcomed with a warm and friendly smile smile from their staff. our server for the day was remar who made sure we had a great dining experience. he was very well aware of the dishes in & and out of the menu as there are some which are not yet added in the menu card. though it's a small place but the ambience is nice and relaxing. the service is quick.

we ordered the below dishes:

starters:

home madechickenstrips (5/5) - were fried to perfection. crispy and crunchy from the outside and soft and juicy from the inside. deliciously prepared and served. one the best i have had so far.

organic quinoa (4/5) - a well balanced and well prepared dish. the ingredients used are of high quality with abundant pine nuts and quality raisins. i personally liked this one but one of my friends was not too keen as he didn't understand the preparation and taste.

main course:

carnivora pizza (5/5)- still not added to the menu. a meat lovers pizza with 4 types of meat (meat balls, meat strips, minced meat & italian ). we ordered this with whole wheat which went really well. i loved the meat balls on the pizzas with the sauce and the hint of herbs that enhanced the taste to the next level. generously made with all the ingredients.

pollo piccante pizza (4/5) - we ordered this one with the bread. my guests appreciated this one more than me but fact needs to be said. there was no compromise on the ingredients.

penne pasta withchicken& mushroom (3/5)- ordered this with pink sauce. somehow, this didn't impress. though the ingredients were fresh and of good quality but no justice made to them. it can be better. hope the chef works on this.

drinks:

virgin pina colada (4/5) - balanced, tasty and yummy.

strawberry mojito (3/5) - it was too sweet and the tanginess of the lime and the punch of the mint were missing. needs to improve a lot.

dessert:

dulce de leche cheesecake (4/5) - yummy and delicious the sweetness is perfect.

overall a great dining experience with good food, service and ambiance.
