One of the best Italian restaurants in San Francisco go there at least six times out of the year thank you very much

I got a side of pasta with bolognese sauce for $10 and change. In The City! Dear brain, please don't forget about this place...

I frequent this excellent place once a month because I like the special air that is exist in this restaurant. The personel is exceptionally welcoming and experienced. The service is very fast. Needless to say, the food they serve is first-rate. I visited more than once and I was always joyful. The price is modest. I recommend this place to my friends and family.

One of my favorite local restaurants! Not only great food and staff, its got that homie feel of a small town family owned restaurant thats not all too common in Soma anymore. Great traditional italian, and fun tasty specials. Great for a nice dinner, and great for a filling breakfast after a late night.

Go to here is hamburger steak poached eggs and sourdough toast (above ordanary flavor cooked in) ... Drip coffee is tbh better than most and They offer espresso drinks on request.
Byron Wilson
Cool Italian restaurant, great food every time with great service.
Jesus Pena
Great staff what I ordered was on point a 100%
Roberto Barbero
Incredible food. Sit on the counter and see how food is prepared before your eyes. Any pasta dish is amazing, but don't miss the meatballs sandwich!
Vincent Chen
Good Italian food, full of SF stories and history on the wall, and very nice boss/chef!

10/10 would recommend the French Toast for brunch. I understand the boldness, as French Toast is usually nothing special, but the fact that they use halved Italian baguette was unique but also delicious. For espresso lovers, I hope you like roast because the Americano tasted like a piece of charred wood was placed in the roast (in a good way). If you like light roast, consider a mimosa.

I called before for a vegan dish and they were able to accommodate me with a delicious dish. It was painful to watch so many crabs being killed for pleasure but overall the service was very friendly and efficient . The owner was also the host and he was friendly . I appreciated the accommodation of the menu for the vegan option. Although they didn’t have any vegan option from desert I hope they get some vegan options for desert.

Delicious freshly home-cooked meals I love the fact that you can watch the cooks make the food if you sit at the counter!!

I went on a Wednesday to try the place out. They have Wednesday pizza specials, which I passed up. I order the Chicken Marsala with Pesto Side. The food was overall tasty, but my mind wasn't blow away. The service was quick. It's definitely worthy of $$$ by my standards. Not a fancy meal though.

Quick service, fabulous food, great staff and perfect atmosphere ðŸ‘

Hidden away unless you know where to look it's a step back into history with pictures and memorabilia filling the walls. The service is excellant . The ambiance pleasant. The breakfast is delightful with many choices.
Michael Corcoran
What a great place for breakfast! Came here twice this week. Wish I lived nearby so I could return! Friendly staff. Neighborhood feel. Amazing omelettes. Yum!
Valeria Herman

On our visit to San Francisco, we visited Rocco's Cafe twice. Once for a late dinner, and the other for breakfast. The food was great for both meals, the ambiance was nice, and the service was friendly. Beer selection was good as well, because that's always important to me!If ever back in San Francisco, I will definitely make it a point to visit them again.
Anthony Wirjoprawiro
Great Italian spot, with super friend service staff and delicious food. We tried their Garlic Bread, Caesar Salad, and Ravioli with Meatballs (forgot to take photos cause I was too hungry). Highlight was definitely the meatballs, portion size was surprisingly big for an extra $2-3 and they were absolutely delicious!
Aaron Leger
We loved our experience at Rocco’s, the atmosphere was great and the owner came up and asked us our story which made us feel right at home. We got the chicken piccata, crab cakes and the linguine and clams. All of it was delicious. We would definitely come back and recommend everyone we know to stop in for a meal here!
Marshall Lee Blacksher
Great place great food great service i highly recommend it!!!🤗🤗🤗ðŸ˜ðŸ˜˜
Emmitt Joyner
Great Sunday breakfast spot with tons of history laced about their walls. Interactive kitchen with a fun bell system to let the servers know whos order is ready. The staff was Very, Very friendly and the food was hot and delicious. I love hole in the wall restaurants, and this one did not disappoint
Aaronette King
OMG so deliciously good! The burger needs not 1 thing on it. It's perfectly cooked!! The calamari was freshly prepared not frozen! We'll be back!!
Falk Uebernickel
The place is nice but the food quality could be improved. I had a pasta and it was overcooked.
Joe Schaefer
These photos are from two separate days. We were looking for a great breakfast place, and breakfast was so good er came back the next day. But since we're on vacation it ended up being around lunch. The lunches smelled/ looked so delicious we ended up getting them. The exact quote from the owner, "if it's on the menu, it's good". He was right.
Julia Enthoven
One of my favorite breakfasts/brunches ever in San Fransisco. No wait on a Saturday at 11. The biscuits are DELICIOUS and very worth the extra $1. I had a ham and cheese omlete and bottomless coffee. Great service, and you get 10% off of you pay in cash. Amazing!
Diana Cortes
Delicious Italian food and generous portions. The meatballs and meat sauce were outstanding and the mimosas were also very generous. Will be back again for brunch and dinner!

I took my granddaughter, age 9, and her parents for dinner last Thursday. We are a grand time: the food and service were terrific. My kids live in Soma and we j.g ave dec iui ded to adopt this restaurant as "our place to go". I give it 4 stars.
Steven Forrest
Loved being told to move one seat down to the very end of the bar so that everyone could bang into me getting in/out the kitchen... even though nobody sat beside me the entire meal at the counter. Good food though, just not most welcoming
Val B
Nice ambiance - music, interior, bar. The servers and bussers try to be friendly. The food is average. My two eggs and marinated grilled chicken dish was small and nothing too special. My friend's pasta from the lunch menu was overcooked and he did not finish it. This is a typical American diner, far from the real Italian eatery.
Oskar Dez
It was very delicious. Only downside is that it's kind of tiny and the tables are very close to each other. Hard to move, when there's other people beside you.
Michelle
Wow just wow! This place is what the city used to be: authentic - old school hospitality (owner greeted us at the door) and he does some of the cooking himself delicious!!! Everything starting with the bread and amazing French onion soup were cooked to perfection and really really good. Wonderful dinner, nice service, intimate fun space. Run don’t walk to eat here because really kool places like Rocco’s are disappearing faster then icebergs in Antarctica!
Jan Symons
We had breakfast here. And we liked it so much that we returned for dinner after spending the day in SF. Chicken Marsala was delicious. My son said the meatballs were the best he ever ate. The pesto had an incredible freshness and taste. Overall very good value for your money. And not to forget the authentic interior.
Shelby Reynders
Even though we were without reservations and the place was packed, the chef greeted us at the door and found a table to fit us in. The food was great, authentic Italian. The atmosphere was comfortable and fun and the wait staff were very patient, helpful and attentive.
Gloria McLaughlin
Great food. Good music. Friendly staff. Good service.
Silvia Fierro
Can't wait to come back again! Great food!
Lawrence Tan
Love the place, love the food, love the ambience and customer service! Beer choices are good. Had their Beef Sandwich with Fries, it's delicious! Must visit if you are in town!
Michael Kim
Rocco's is a fairly solid place to eat lunch or dinner, but I typically stick to their pastas. So far, the seafood pastas I've gotten here have been the tastiest. Otherwise, I stop by early for some coffee and sit outside to people watch.
Rishi Mishra
Had the banana walnut pancakes. Tasted great. More than enough food for one person. No wait and good music on the speakers.
Ken Benedict Sameon
It's a nice little brunch place with ambient mood and good choice of dishes, light and heavy.
melvin chan
The food was outstanding crab cakes, crunchy outside soft on the inside. Garlic bread and fries garlicky. Burger WOW

~ Delicious, Decent, or Don't Bother? ~Dishing out my thoughts on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in San Francisco.DAY 3: Rocco's Cafe - home-style Italian foodRocco's is a cozy neighborhood joint that tastes and feels wholesome. The walls are covered in old, San Francisco memorabilia, and each party is seated at the table with a warm basket of San Francisco sourdough. If you are a clam chowder fan, I highly recommend the linguine and clams in white cream sauce; there are more clams than sauce in this dish, and that's something that I think we should all celebrate. If you're a meat lover, get the chicken piccata and pasta bolognese combo; the chicken is incredibly tender, and the bolognese is so chunky and meaty, and not very sweet. VERDICT: Delicious Instagram @rogerlamchop
Jeannie Weddle
So super yummy!!! We went at dinner on Saturday night and started with sharing the Marinated Grilled Chicken Salad, it was so fresh, with a great mix of flavors that melded perfectly. They brought us bread with a choice of soften butter and a lil bowl of olive oil, garlic and fresh herb... we could have stopped there but so glad we didn’t ! I got the Raviolis with Meatballs oh my goodness soooooooo good it’s hard to find great meatballs but no need to look any further they are right here at Roco’s. My friend got a French Dip with a side of vegetables, he let me steal a bite, seriously best French Dip I’ve ever had. I didn’t finish my dinner so I could have Latte and a slice of Chocolate cake perfect combo after a scrumptious meal. Can’t wait to go back and try something else.
Brian Markman
Consistently amazing, every visit to SF (I'm an Angeleno that comes north from time to time), includes at least one meal at Rocco's. Fantastic.
Justin Simonsen
Good food.Very friendly.Reasonable prices.We will be back again.
Andie Shearsmith
Loved the urban, big city atmosphere of this cafe. Sitting at the counter was enjoyable, watching the food prep for breakfast and upcoming meals. They had a massive pot where chicken broth was being made. I thoroughly enjoyed my Carmel latte. My special frittata was delicious too. It was topped with tomatoes and Italian sausage. My server was efficient and attentive! A great find for a San Francisco breakfast!
Frank Molina
Great service and delicious food at this oldschool SF spot.
Lance Hough
Delicious food served by a friendly and attentive staff in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely loved our experience! Can't wait to come back.
