Johnny Rocco’s Italian Grill - St. Catharines, Ontario

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times now and just love it there. The food is so good, especially the calamari. Best I’ve ever had anywhere. Everyone there is so friendly and provides amazing service. A very friendly and warm atmosphere. Can’t say enough about this place. You gotta ... go!!! Read more

My wife and I stopped here to eat dinner the last day of our vacation before we drove back to the US. All I have to say is… WOW! The food is amazing - definitely one of the top Italian restaurants we’ve been to (and we have a lot of ... Italian restaurants near us). The atmosphere is really nice as well, and it was cool to be able to see the pizza coming out of the wood fired oven from where we sat. We got the rice balls for an appetizer and we were so glad we did - they are phenomenal! This restaurant is now saved on our list of places to eat at the next time we travel to Ontario! Read more

We celebrated our 10-year anniversary last night in the Banquet Room for a private group event, and it was the best value I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. Their group pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees, and their servers, particularly our main server Josh, were friendly, attentive, swift, and ... incredibly discreet. It felt like having ninjas—I'd turn to talk to my guests, and my food would appear without any interruptions! The food was incredible, with very generous portions. Almost all of my guests, including my partner and me, went home with leftovers! The restaurant also accommodated the dietary restrictions of a few guests and allowed slight modifications to the fixed menu I ordered. Janine, the manager who handled our initial order, made sure everything was perfect down to the last detail. Thank you, GM, Janine, thank you to your amazing staff for making our milestone anniversary a forever memorable one! Pictured here are the heavenly Chicken Milano and Veal Parmesan. Highly recommend!

My wife and I spent some time in Niagara on the Lake last weekend. This was our favourite place to eat. Our server Jade was phenomenal. Our food was excellent and we loved the atmosphere. We will definitely return here if we ever revisit the region.

Very popular. Would advise reservations for groups on the weekends. Because it's busy and food is made fresh, we found the was a longer than average waits to get our drinks from the bar (even water!), as well as our food. We ate our appetizers and finished it and ... still had nothing to drink. We were not upset at our server, we understood it was busy. But in hindsight i was disappointed about not even providing us water at the start when we asked for it from the beginning. Our server tho was friendly enough. Everything was tasty. I would still go back. Parking is free. Read more
