Rocco's Cafe - San Andreas

Sizzler. That was in our young minds, the best place to get a steak! We were also there on many occasions for the unlimited all you can eat salad bar and would take chicken nuggets from the kids section! In our college years, We went to Tad 's Steak on Powell St. We felt we were living the life! Rocco 's is the place I go to around work to treat myself to a nice sizzling steak w/ mushrooms. For $28.95, you get a nice ribeye with a pile of mushrooms on top. It 's oozing with flavor and juices. You can also get a side of plump raviolis or fries. Meatballs- housemade and it comes in two. By far, one of my favorite meatballs in the whole city! Nice, huge balls with texture and not dry at all. Your meal begins with complimentary bread and butter. But, you can request for the bread to be warmly toasted and also some olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip it in. The owner, Don is around to say hello and talk to you on most days. Due to staff shortages, customer service is slow as expected. Parking can be difficult They have many other hearty Italian American inspired dishes for a satisfying meal.

Rocco 's Café is named for Rocco Coscarelli who immigrated from Northern Italy in 1920 adapted from the menu. Serving breakfast, lunch, gourmet coffees, and spirits, Rocco 's has been serving the patrons of SOMA in San Francisco since 1990. While walking home this morning, I stumbled upon this gem. I was immediately drawn in by the delicious smell from the street. I was delighted to enter into a collections of vintage decor, oldies music, and an open concept kitchen for a true diner vibe. I was immediately greeted by the waitress who was friendly. I had the French Toast and a latte which was delicious. The portions were generous and I left very full. Overall I truly loved everything about this place. I especially love it 's close to my house. I will definitely be back! This Italian lady can 't wait to try an entree.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The pasta was delicious—especially the pesto and chicken gnocchi, which was incredible and perfectly cooked! I also loved sitting at the bar, as it allowed me to talk to the cooks and watch them prepare the food, which added to the excitement of the meal.

The food was excellent, and our server was fantastic as well. I enjoyed the spicy sausage served with onions and peppers over penne pasta.

Absolutely loved it! I met Don tonight, and I had the Chicken Piccata, which was incredibly delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked—moist and flavorful, paired with a delightful sauce that was perfect for dipping with sourdough bread. My roommates enjoyed the Chicken Saltimbocca and a seafood dish with mussels, scallops, and shrimp, both of which they raved about. We couldn't resist taking two Chicken Marsala home because it was that good! The ambiance is wonderfully comfortable, resembling your grandmother's home, with family photos on the walls and warm yellow lamps that create a cozy atmosphere. You have to go to Rocco! You won't regret it!
