Rocco's Little Italy

We ordered lasagna pizza, it wasn't the best, but it was good. It could use more seasoning, but ingredients seemed fresh. The garlic knots were good.

Overall - yep 5-stars which means we would be back when visiting Newport. Not a large place but the flavors and service were great. Ok so a little hot of a breakdown: 1. Food quality - having been pizzeria owners in UT and feeling like our garlic kjots were pretty awesome we get a bit picky when it comes to knots. ROCCOS did awesome. Fresh garlic - nicely proofed before par cooking and just enough cook time to brown the tops but keep the fluff. Marinara sauce was wonderful and with the fresh parsley and garlic and olive oil mixed it was a fantastic start to the meal Antipasto salad was loaded with it all. Small salad was huge. The blue cheese dressing was sub par but I’m partial to my Grandmas recipe. The pizza was more traditional crust - so not a Neapolitan style but done well. Love th

My new favorite pizza spot. Incredibly attentive and kind staff. The new owners seem fantastic and friendly. The food was served quickly and was BOMB. Best chicken cutlet I’ve had in forever. Very welcoming and family friendly atmosphere. Will be back again (Probably this week). Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great local bite.

*UPDATE* We gave it some time and decided to go back and give them one more try. 4 of us from our group went on Thursday March 5th for lunch to see if they had improved. I am happy to say that there was definitely a noticeable improvement from our last meal. There were about 7 options this time, several with the awesome crispy crust style. the slices were back to being adequately sized. Crust was a little dark but not burnt this time. Service was still a little slow but not terrible. They are definitely on the right track, but still not quite what it used to be when Ken ran it. While we still wont be going back here weekly anymore, it was at least good enough to put into our rotation of places to eat occasionally on Thursdays. updated my review from 1 star to 3. =====================

Best New York style pizza on the island! This was our favorite pizza place when we lived here 14 years ago and AGAIN now as we moved back! Food is always hot and delicious and the staff is always kind and friendly! Highly recommend the large pepperoni pizza, garlic knots, and side salad! The salad is always fresh and loaded and enough to share!
