"Eating at Rocco is one part military, one part Italian. Let me explain. Our party of 17 which reserved a week in advance was ushered into the doorway, given glasses of Prosecco and made to wait around in the blistering heat and bad air (perhaps the restaurant aims to recreate the environment of an Italian summer) due to a reservation mixup. Eventually, we did get a table, not before we witnessed the waiters raising their voices at each other on account of the mistake. After being ushered to our table and handed water and wine (which was dangerously drinkable), the waiters took our order. So far, so good. And then we waited. And waited, and waited. And waited. A good hour and a half later, our meals arrived. At this point, the waiters, about 3 of them, fought over who could announce the dishes loudest. NUMBER 31!!! PASTA SCAMPI NUMBER 17!!! AAAAAALSTER WASSSSSSERRRR! . Running between tables and just missing my forehead multiple times, eventually we all got our orders. This entire ordeal was extremely unnerving the last time I remember such behavior was when my boot camp commander ushered us though the mess hall kitchen to mop the floor as quickly as possible before shooting range practice. It is just lucky, then, that during this hour and a half of waiting we were constantly being topped up with more wine. If I wouldn 't have been so tipsy, I would have probably been slightly more agitated. To Rocco 's defense there were no mixups in the dishes. With a party of 17, that 's pretty impressive. The food was moderately good. I 've had better Italian food elsewhere, however the Rocco chefs deserve a thumbs up for throwing in more than two bits of Scampi. Unfortunately, the type of experience I had at Rocco needs to eventually result in nothing less than excellent food. Which it wasn 't. I probably won 't return to Rocco, even with a smaller group. There 's something to be said about military inspired experiences, and the will to avoid them as much as humanly possible."
