    On a busy Saturday back in March, it was the only restaurant in Colombo with free parking spots. The place was spacious and well maintained. The aroma of freshly baked pizza was so welcoming and my husband and I ended up ordering 2 pizzas (this was a first because we are usually ‘one-medium-size-pizza-and-that’s-it type of a couple) and finishing both! (And ordering another for take away) The prices are towards the high side, but it was totally worthy. The staff is so friendly and their order delivery time was around 10 mins, which was comparatively faster. Would love to go back another day and highly recommend the place to anyone.

    A very beautiful place. Outdoor indoor dining is available. Tried out pizza, soup and lasagna and a strawberry milkshake. The pizzas are thin crust. Parking available. Strawberry milkshake didn’t taste that good.

    One of my favorite places in CMB for all things Italian. Been coming here awhile now. They launched a new brunch menu which seems exciting to try out. If you love Italian food then you should definitely check them out.

    The ambience is good, and actually I was being attracted by the Christmas Tree to come over. All the staffs, the service is also good. Let’s talk about the food- The chicken salad is ok. The pizzas are a disappointment. The crust is so chewy, this is the first time I have had a chewy pizza! We had one Margarita, tasteless and one Mixed Seafood, really so-so. French Onion soup is ok. The desserts, have all the fancy names but it’s just a normal blueberry cheesecake, a ice-cream sandwich. The Affogato, that homemade gelato.. the denseness is ok, but not smooth and rich enough. I don’t even bother to take pictures of them. 3 stars are totally just for the ambience and the staffs.

    Rocco's, a Taste of Italy in Colombo 7 If you're searching for an authentic Italian dining experience that's a cut above the rest, look no further than Rocco's. Located in the heart of Colombo 7, Rocco's boasts a menu that promises to transport your taste buds to the streets of Italy. From start to finish, our culinary adventure at Rocco's was nothing short of exceptional. Rocco's sets the stage with an extensive menu of unique Italian dishes, sourcing their ingredients from both local and imported producers to ensure the freshest and most authentic flavors. The result is a dining experience you won't soon forget. As we perused the menu, we were delighted to find a wide array of options, from hearty soups to tantalizing antipasti platters, bruschetta that sings with freshness, homemade pasta that melts in your mouth, risotto that's perfection, and crisp, vibrant salads. But what really stole the show were their gourmet pizzas. We couldn't resist sampling a bit of everything, and we weren't disappointed. The beef, vegetarian, seafood, and chicken pizzas were nothing short of scrumptious. The crust was a perfect blend of crispness and chewiness, and the toppings were generous and bursting with flavor. Rocco's truly has a secret art when it comes to pizza preparation, and it's a secret we're grateful they're sharing with the world. And for those of us with a sweet tooth, Rocco's provides a delightful array of homemade desserts. The tiramisu we indulged in was superb, and it's just one of many delectable options, including cassata, cherry tart, dark & white chocolate cheesecake, lemon meringue pie, chocolate meringue, and the ever-popular blueberry cheesecake. Rocco's is a gem for those who crave the warmth and welcoming ambiance of a truly authentic Italian restaurant. The wood-fired pizzas, made with the highest quality produce and ingredients, are not to be missed. Each pizza is hand-tossed and crafted with the utmost care, creating a culinary masterpiece. But remember, Italian cuisine is more than just pizza, and Rocco's ensures that you have an abundance of delicious choices, including an impressive range of pasta dishes, risotto, salads, imported meats, cheeses, and heavenly desserts, all made in-house. Rocco's is open for lunch and dinner, making it a perfect destination whether you're looking for a midday treat or a memorable evening out. Their commitment to using only the freshest ingredients is evident in every dish, allowing you to savor the true taste and flavors of Italy. In conclusion, Rocco's is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey through Italy, right in the heart of Colombo. The diverse menu, top-notch service, and warm atmosphere make it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience. Whether you're a pizza enthusiast or looking for the perfect pasta, Rocco's has something to delight every palate. Buon appetito!

    Visited them a couple of times for the famous pizzas and didn't disappoint. The thin crust pizzas taste great. Served chili flakes, oregano, chilli and olive oil along with the pizza. Delicious drinks and desserts. Loved the chocolate milkshake and cheesecake. Great customer service.

    Had a lovely time celebrating my daughter's birthday. Staff is very friendly. There are rooms you can reserve. Brick room is the best room. You can entertain about 10- 12 people at once there there. Ideal for a private small gathering. There's another room with a dining table , suitable for a formal gathering for few number of people.

    The food was delicious, better than anything I have tasted in Australia. We ordered pasta and pizza, sharing amongst 4 of us and I can't fault it. Reasonably priced, portion sizes were generous. Staff were friendly and accommodating, wonderful service received. We loved the ambience of the place, peaceful, quiet and a nice low key vibe. The place has a lot of class about it. The only issue I had was there's no alcohol served on premises. Having the pasts with a glass of red wine would have topped it off. But that's only a nice to have, overall I recommend this place.

    We had spicy beef+chicken and mushroom pizza and a chicken lasagna. All are really good and not that much expensive. They also had pastas, appetisers, deserts and drinks and can recommend the restaurant for anyone. There were also few electric plug outlets so you can charge your phone/laptop

    Loved the atmosphere and the food🤩 walked in on Saturday 7pm without a reservation. Still got a place! We had the meatfest and vegeteriano pizza half half and posto allfredo pasta. It was delicious 😍 also got an iced coffee and chocolate milkshake. The total added upto 6550 with service charge. Worth every penny.

  • 5/5 Pahan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good food and top-notch service. Visited Rocco's on a weekday evening, around 6.30 pm. The place was not crowded and only around 3~4 occupied tables. The staff was friendly and attentive since we stepped into the establishment. We were not in the mood to try their famous pizzas. So we decided to go with their pasta menu. Ordered the Chicken Lasagne (LKR 1100) was a solid 9/10. Penne Carnosa(LKR 1400) was a 7/10, to wash the dishes down, we decided to go with lime juice (LKR 500). The overall taste of the food was really good and the drink was also tasty and refreshing. Parking is available for around 4~5 vehicles. If the parking is full, you can manage to park on the street itself.

    We were visiting Sri Lanka from the USA and made plans to meet some friends for dinner at Rocco’s on a Tuesday evening. Luckily we had a reservation because there were no seats available. My daughters ordered Gnocchi and Pollo Alfredo and both of them said it was really good. I ordered three large pizza’s to share and some of the others also ordered various items off the menu. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good the pizza was at this place. The pizza seemed to be Neopolitan thin crust pizza and I really enjoyed it. We had the Diavolo, Bacoroni and a Tropicale and all were great. This place has 37 different pizza’s on the menu (see pics), that’s impressive and I never expected to see that at a pizza place in Sri Lanka. There are 100 or more pizza hut locations in SL, so you can definitely get a pizza for cheaper than this but the pizza here cannot be compared to fast food pizza, this is pizza on a much different level to that of the chain pizza places. I felt this was authentic Neopolitan pizza and I’ll definitely be coming back to this place again. This place has a nice ambiance and the lighting is also very pleasant. The seating is comfortable and they can shift tables around if larger groups are coming in. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I recommend this place.

    One of a good Italian restaurants in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Staff is really great 👍 including security and waiters. Pizza 🍕, the crust thickness is law compared to pizzas of chain restaurants, I think that is the uniqueness here. Both mushrooms 🍄 soup and seafood soup are really tasty. My 2yrs old daughter likes 👍 pizza here. Desserts also good. The food portion is adequate to a average Sri Lankan ha ha. Why I said like because dishes are adequate and appropriate to your belly 😀

    It was good. The best service I ever had from any waiter "DEELAKA". Always ask for him for best service. Food is decent. Parking might be limited at peak hours. Nice ambiance. Clean and fast.

    We have been customers of Rocco's Pizza for over 4 years now when ever we were back home. Today our delivery from the Gregory's RD outlet delivered to my home disappointed us so much that I wanted to let Rocco's Management know that; if you want to save costs and drop your quality so much you better at least keep regular customers informed or drop your prices to match what you are providing so that regulars can keep away. Very bad quality - will not patronize in future.

    Overall a good place to review and revisit, the atmosphere is good and would be better if more space could be added, the parking area is quite small, the service is top notch and the staff is friendly and fast. Food and drinks are also good, everything tastes good as expected, The menu includes a wide variety of choices, no idea about all dishes, but overall food is good✌️

  • 5/5 Ravishka De M. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    One of the finest spots for savoring delicious thin-crust pizza with a pleasant ambiance. They offer a wide range of delectable pizzas and more. The staff was helpful and friendly. This place is a must-visit when you're in Colombo.

  • 5/5 ushani k. 1 year ago on Google
    One of THE best places to have pizzas Parking space is moderate where you can accommodate around 8-10 vehicles And seating areas also quite comfortable. We ordered 14’ ham & bacon pizza which enough for two (if you are more hungry it’s not enough , can recommend to go for a side dish along with this) pizza tasted goooood, it’s served with chili flakes, oregano, olive oil and chilli oil by side Peach ice and ice Cream with espresso were as expected nothing less. Ordered bbq chicken wings and it tasted good too Customer service is on point and it takes your usual time to prepare the order Overall experience is fantastic and I would recommend this place over Giovanni’s for pizzas

    Had a great time at Roccos on one regular weekend. It was not crowded at all and we had the greatest pizza. They have several flavors and in multiple sizes. Really worth the money.

  • 5/5 Artika B. 1 year ago on Google
    Rocco’s has always been 5 stars for me. Been there uncountable times and will continue to go there. Fine dining Italian, with attention to each flavour, and served with a smile. Incomplete without their delectable desserts. And the extra effort put in by our server to give little meringues with our coffee, was superb!

  • 5/5 Hasal F. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty food. Calm vibe and environment. A good place to relax and talk for a bit while enjoying the food. Their fries were very good as well. The pizza we bought was super tasty as well. There was no added salt but you have the option to add the amount you want, while eating. Exceptional friendly service by the gentleman who served us. Overall, very much satisfied.

    My sis is not on social media but she told me it was the best pizza she had eaten, her very words “ my goodness the pizza was so tasty and huge and classy , cannot be compared to any other pizza we’ve ordered from other pizza places” Roccos Rock awesome awesome awesome Go Roccos!!!!!

    Good and quality food super friendly service. Experience chef are there. Perfect packing handle with care hope visit there soon again with family

  • 5/5 Adrian M. 2 years ago on Google
    The Pizza and Calzones are delicious. They even have a good amount of vegetarian options. We got some wine and munched down like 4 whole pizzas and 4 calzones among the 10 of us. The seafood pizza was the best of the lot in my opinion. The ambiance is quite nice during late evenings, they don't play any music tho which was a bit odd but an upside for those who want to talk-talk-talk. I only noticed the Mafia themes on the walls towards the end of my evening, which was indeed a nice touch.

  • 5/5 Stefan B. 2 years ago on Google
    A great meet up spot. Great food and the outside seating is best if you want some privacy. The service is excellent and they are quite reasonable. It's one of the few BYOB places in Colombo. Making a reservation is recommended.

    An evening that was peaceful thanks to the good experience here. Went when there was not much traffic so parking was not an issue. Quality ingredients used. Staff were professional. They dont keep staring while you eat and do not loiter around. Best bruschetta I had in a while. All freshly baked and served hot. For variety, fine pizza and that extra nice feel in the evening, this is a good place.
