oh, how I so miss the Rocco's of yore. This place used to be a treasure. When the owner of a restaurant gives up, it's quite obvious.

I dont understand the philosophy of that place. Sometimes the food is really good, and two days later you get something different even though you ordered the same previous dish. If then arguing politely with the fuyuan....makes you not returning. A pity.

I've enjoyed the "da jiaozi" (a calzone) we're ordered and the spicy pizza was really spicy (too much for me anyway). I like the decoration, the italian feeling and stuff...

I share Bernie's experience. Food at Rocco is up and down. I went there 3 times: First time was really good, 2nd time I had same experience with a poorly stuffed Calzone Pizza and the 3rd time the wine got poured all over the table and my trousers by the waiter......

Rocco's restaurant is located at the eastern end of Wenlin Jie, very close to the hill down to the lake. The front of the restaurant has a nice veranda for watching the world go by, at least, in warm weather. Inside, the decor is quite European with large tables.
A couple of visits have demonstrated the need for Rocco's presence in the kitchen. The first visit, some time ago, delivered a good pizza and a bland vegetable soup. The second visit delivered a calzone pizza (folded) that had very little filling, together with a large bowl of mussels that, extremely quickly, became a large bowl of shells due to the lack of meat inside -- this is often the problem with mussels, but don't serve mussels if they are poor quality.
Unfortunately, because the decor is good and wine-by-the- glass is available, 'Italian-owned' means nothing unless there is an Italian chef in the kitchen.

Good food and very nice atmosphere (if a bit cold at this time of year). Just stay away from the mixed starters: cold, soggy mushrooms, aubergine, etc. Everything else is great and there's a good wine selection, including per glass.
