A lovely brunch!

The French toast was actually well soaked like it should be, and the chicken panini was ever so light. Their bread is magical!

The outside seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is so pretty with floral decoration surrounding the restaurant.

And if the food was not worth the 5 stars, the staff also brought a container of water for our dog! So nice and thoughtful 🙃

Very enjoyable!

What took us so long to visit this restaurant! It is small with a lovely indoor seating area, but we opted to eat outside. The outside area is small, but on lovely nights it is nice to have the light breeze.

We ordered 2 pizzas (The Diavola and The Norcina) and they tasted so good. Wood burning fire place just makes the difference. The red pizza sauce has great flavour, and the pizza crust was great! Near the centre of the pizza it is a lot softer, but did not bother me at all.

The pasta bolognaise was also delicious. They do not skimp on the meat or flavour like other places. And the pasta was cooked ever so slightly above al dente. They also bring fresh parmesan and fresh pepper table side in case you want some.

We also had the panna cotta for dessert with a drizzle of caramel. A light dessert to end the meal.

My only suggestions would be (if I am being picky)

1. The bread, although fresh, you can tell it was sliced and sitting out a bit

2. The spices oil for the pizza was clogged so nothing really came out, and what did was very bland.

Definitely still worth the stars! A very enjoyable evening and meal!

Came here last night - 12-30-22 After a rough start upon arrival at our reservation time (seemed like they forgot a table of 7 was arriving, and lady at check in area was rude and lied to my face about what was going on) However, the rest of the evening was lovely.

Once we got situated in the dining area, the service was very good. Our main server made sure we were taken care of and when he finished his shift during our meal he even introduced us to the server taking over.

One person at the table got the surf and turf (steak/lobster tail) and the tail was over cooked. They replaced it (of course) and second time around no issues.

One person was vegetarian at the table and our main server even stated they could cook something off menu if we wanted. Excellent service considering some comparable places will just repeat what is on the menu.

Highlights were the seafood tower, German potatoes, and steak. If you get the arugula pear/apple salad - also keep in mind to eat it with a little of everything - the dressing might taste a little sour if you just eat the arugula - but all together it is nice.

The mood was energetic last night with several birthdays (we counted 3 or 4) and the staff does an amazing time singing for the birthday guests.

Bar cocktails are great also!

I know people like to compare restaurants (I mentally compared this restaurant to my experience at Gallaghers) and my conclusion was - a few things I liked better at Roccos and a couple at Gallaghers.

Would definitely go back to Roccos based on food and dining room service. Front service (again) needs better communication and someone who does not lie to you. Plus, she was coughing - with no mask or into a napkins. Not even disinfecting her hands. Germs 🦠

I came on Wednesday, shortly after opening so I did not have to deal with long lines. 3 people were in front of me at 9:15AM and that was perfect! I got a few things for variety that could be reheated for different meals.

I got the large chicken. You get a lot. It is juicy, and well flavoured.

Large pork. A decent amount. Good flavour and a nice change.

Large duck. Great flavour. However, my only complaint is, when looking through pictures I noticed in the combo meals that about the same amount of duck was in the combo as my large duck order. It had 6 slices. The picture I took makes it look like more, but it was just the angle. I am complaining because I paid $8 and the combo was the same price with practically same amount of duck, plus chicken. Maybe I am being petty but that is honestly my only complaint :)

Also, if you are unfamiliar with duck, try it! It is not a “meaty” bird like chicken. Some parts have only a very thin layer of meat. The thickest part of chest might have
1cm (ish) of meat (not including what you might see with the breast bone etc) it is really full of flavour! Stronger than chicken, but in a good way!

And a couple words on the cabbage! It is delicious! They retain a slight crunch to it. A nice texture change!

Don’t forget to bring cash! And expect long wait time during peak hours!

Hope this helps someone!

This is a spacious park with a few options for walking around the perimeter around the lake. There are picnic tables, playground, and the lake hosts fish, turtles, ducks etc. I love coming here in the spring when the bluebonnets are in bloom.

My only con is - I wish there were more trees along the walking trail to shade the summer sun like some other Allen parks.

It’s a nice area to feed the ducks (come early before they fill up though)

You can also people watch, picnic, and relax under a tree.
