An unforgettable dining experience at Rocco Steakhouse! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere elegant yet comfortable. The steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and tender. I also enjoyed a French martini that was balanced and delicious, the perfect cocktail to start the evening. Dessert was the sweetest finish to the night, beautifully presented and just as indulgent as the main course. Rocco Steakhouse truly delivers on every level: outstanding food, impeccable service, and a warm, inviting ambiance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic New York steakhouse experience!

Rocco Steakhouse is a NYC staple. Great atmosphere, top notch professional service, and excellent steaks. We ordered the NY Strip, Surf n Turf and various sides, all excellent, and the sides are very large. Dessert is also on the house, a nice touch. A great restaurant for a special occasion or just a nice night out. The front bar is also a fun spot to enjoy an excellent martini.

Walk into old world hospitality. Unbelievably grateful service and food. Large cocktails, mouth watering steaks served sizzling, the largest bake potato you ever saw, and organic creamed spinach. A truly wonderful experience. And as my guest stated, this is the BEST steak he has ever eaten. This is a must try in NYC.

The food was amazing. My significant other and I went to this fancy restaurant for the first time, and the experience was wonderful and beautiful . The way we were serviced felt like royalty . The steak, shrimp, and lobster mac and cheese make you want to go back for seconds. My girl and I loved it, and it deserves 100 ⭐

One of the better steaks I have had in NY. Rocco is your quintessential steakhouse deserving a spot with some of the top steakhouses in the city. The staff, especially Vinny, had great energy and made us feel welcomed. Other than the steak being cooked perfectly, I wanted to give a special mention to the lettuce wedge salad. Will be back again!

I hadn't been to New York City for over ten years, but a business trip brought me back. Following a strong recommendation from a local friend, I tried Rocco Steakhouse, and it did not disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly, the highly-recommended mac and cheese was the ultimate comfort food, and the carrot cake was to die for. However, the real highlight was the exceptional service. Our server, Edin, truly elevated the evening from great to unforgettable. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic rapport that made us feel like valued guests. His recommendations were spot-on, and his warm professionalism is a true credit to Rocco's.

This is the restaurant perfect for large group business dinners or a large group birthday celebration. The lights are not too dim, warm and cozy. Our guests were arriving later than the reservation time and the manager Henry our waiter Daniel came to assure we dont need to rush. Start your appetizers with a shared seafood platter, the crab cake and onion soup was our favorite. We ordered 4 different kind of steaks, go with the ribeye and porterhouse. The wine list was also excellent, you can find different price ranges from 60 -1000 a bottle. Our nice was made so special because of the wonderful staff, thank you again
