Rocco's Cucina & Bar

Ziti with meatballs. Tasty but portion size very small for price. Meatballs were relatively large but only two come with the meal. Not a lot of pasta. How much does pasta cost? Nothing on the side, no salad. Small side salad cost another $10. No thanks. There are much better North End options.

TERRIBLE establishment. My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to eat, and while he parked the car, I walked in to get us a seat. I walked in to an entirely empty restaurant. All 3 employees were behind the bar talking and upon entering, they looked up at me with extremely annoyed expressions. I then said “Hi! How are you?”, and while the hostess got up to speak to me, the old woman behind the bar just continued to looked at me rudely and clearly bothered to even have to do her job and said “Fine.” I proceeded to say “My boyfriend is parking our car. Could someone tell me where the restroom is? If it’s for customer’s only-“ and the rude old woman interrupted me, looked at me with disdain, and said in the most incredibly rude tone “It’s for customers only”. Had I not been interrupted, I would’ve finished saying “If it’s for customers only, I would be happy to purchase a drink first”. I replied “Well, as I was saying, I’d love to purchase a beverage first”. She looked me up and down and said “There’s a hotel down the street with a restroom you can use.” to which I replied in a very friendly tone despite the blatant disrespect “I’d like to purchase a drink and grab some food with my boyfriend. I just also need to use the restroom haha. It’s a bit of an emergency”. The older woman and her other female coworker behind the bar exchanged an annoyed glance (making it very clear that they were annoyed with me - a customer trying to enjoy the establishment) then she replied in the nastiest tone “As I said, there’s a hotel you can use the restroom in up the street. Get out.” I have never been treated so poorly in my life let alone refused service for no reason. It’s incredibly sad that this establishment allows let alone actively participates in discrimination against disabled citizens. If I could give this place zero stars, I would!!!

Very calm place with TV’s and good food.

Great little spot to grab excellent food and watch a game. Staff was awesome and the food was fantastic. The staff were super friendly and very polite as they were asked by a few people walking by to use the restrooms. They gave them directions to where public restrooms were located and were very professional to an individual who was not very polite as he could not comprehend that this was a private establishment and the restrooms are for its customers. Bravo great job all around.

Liked that it is on the quiet side of the north end. More roomier and they have outside dining if the weather warrants.

We had a good time here.
