Nice red sauce spot in Tinley Park IL. Restaurant was packed on a cold weeknight. Hearty portion of lasagna with a softball sized meatball really satisfied on chilly evening. Sat at the bar service was quick and super friendly. Old fashioned was mid but a great night out.
HOT TAKE: When it comes to Italian food, having excellent food and service is just not good enough. Period. There are plenty of Italian kitchens than can accomplish that. For me, going to an Italian eatery should make you want to dress a little sharper and walk in with a little swagger. Now I appreciate that many people will say that this is all in my head... fair enough! But for my Italian dining dollars, the ambiance is 33% of the equation(maybe a bit more). Let me give you a couple examples that may sway you to my way of thinking. Can you imagine sitting for a bowl of linguine and clams and a nice Italian chianti... and some twangy country music is playing in the background???? Hell no!! Any Italian restaurant that doesn't have Dean Martin and Ol' Blue Eyes serenading my culinary experience is off my radar. Ok picture this... Imaging slurping on a bowl of pasta Faggioli & dipping crusty Italian bread in olive oil, in a brightly lit cafeteria setting with white walls and minimalistic decorations... HARD PASS! Italian food tastes better in a dimly lit, low ceiling establishment with family portraits from the old country on every wall! Fuggidaboutit!! Now that EVERYONE agrees with me.... Rocco's Little Italy has it ALL. Not only is the food the best Italian vittles around, they also check the ambiance box in every way. When I'm at Rocco's my mouth & nose are in heaven(of course), my ears are dancing to Dean and Frank, and its so dim that my eyes tell me I'm having a quaint private dinner in my home and everyone there is attractive!! What the hell else could you want?! Keep up the good work Rocco's!!! There are very few places like this left outside of Chicago!
Delicious food, great service! Thier meat sauce is the best! This place has quickly turned into a favorite.
Went there Christmas Eve with 13 people. I was extremely impressed by the server by the taste and selection of the food. I will go back and prices were very reasonable
Food is fantastic but a $160 dollar bill for pasta and a couple drinks is ridiculous. That's dining for two. Love the place and I know you're in it to make money but you priced me out. Me and my wife usually went there once a month but now maybe once a year. The food, service and atmosphere is fantastic but you have priced me out. Probably once a year for a fantastic meal,
