Roc Restaurant

Great food great service.

ROC is -simply stated- the BEST Italian restaurant in Tribeca! I'm vegetarian and ROC has many great vegetarian selections including their delicious homemade pastas. The vegetable lasagna is the best I have ever eaten. They have "something for everyone" and they will also happily make any dish you desire. Oh- and the bread sticks- the bread sticks! Don't miss them! You will never taste better ones- they are addicting and made on the premises as well as their fabulous desserts. Service is also top notch- the staff are all super nice and eager to please. The "cherry on top" is the atmosphere which is just perfect- the seating is the opposite of the cramped seating that's unfortunately the norm these days in Manhattan- there isn't a bad table in the beautiful dining room. No elbows in your neighbour's food here! And if the weather's nice there's plenty of comfortable seating outside too. Whether you're a family or on a date (perfect lighting) don't miss ROC!

This place is just so amazing! I ordered their gnocchi a la sorrentina and the tomato soup, it was so so good. Their breadsticks are almost addicting! I ate outside and it was. I wouldn't suggest sitting in the sun in the afternoon, I would sit outside at night, the atmosphere is amazing. It's in a nice area, I would definitely go back! :)

Tuna tartar, pistachio crusted salmon, mussels, tiramisu, cappuccino- all delicious! Service was pretty good. Seriously, the whole meal was amazing. We live nearby, will definitely go back.

I've had the pleasure of going to ROC a few times for special occasions and I'm always eager to go when I'm told that's where we're going to commune. Last night, while taking in the views from the rooftop at The Standard hotel above the Highline, I looked out onto the West Side Hgwy and remembered that ROC was just south of there. A quick call, reservation and whistled cab on the scene got us there within 10 minutes. Rocco, the owner, remembered me as soon as I walked in and treated us like roc-stars (pun intended). He made a big fuss and literally catered to our every hunger induced need. Each of the servers were on point and treated us like VIP's. The food was truly amazing. Tuna Tartar with avocado & grilled octopus to start had us practically licking our plates (okay so maybe I might've licked my fork a bit more than necessary), but the mouth orgasms didn't stop there. The seafood pasta had generous portions of mussels, clams, shrimps & calamari in an ingenious sangria reduction sauce. It was savory, not too sweet and definitely something I'm going back for. My date had the linguini with clams and she couldn't stop raving about it, especially since she's lived in Italy, and travels internationally for work. For the guys out there who want to find a quaint spot to impress their date, girlfriend or the wife of 30 years, you will also impress upon them how much you care about them sharing a great meal with you too. I recommend ROC Restaurant 11 days a week and twice on Sundays.

Roc is a solid selection for great italian food served by friendly staff in a warm atmosphere. Nothing is too fancy, and that is a great thing in this world where many other Manhattan restaurants that have taken artisanal italian to the absurd. Roc does the classics well.

really excellent italian food, and very nice space.

Excellent service!

Sin duda mi restaurante favorito cuando viajo a NY, la mejor comida italiana, sus entradas, antipastos, platos fuertes, son manjares elaborados con los mejores productos y los mejores chefs de varios países. Ubicado en el barrio de Soho, que mas se puede pedir. No dejen de visitarlo, recomendado la entrada de pulpo, todas las pastas en especial la que lleva trufa blanca o la que es con langosta y tinta, de los postres ni que hablar, la tarta de limón con una costra de caramelo, espectacular.
