Reviews for La Rocca's Pizzeria in Oregon, WI
Pizza was good, I would rate it great for WI, being from CT it?s hard to compare to local pizza.
Everyone orders the takeout pizza, which is admittedly the best in town. But you're missing out on all the deliciousness in the... rest of their menu-- the Arancina appetizer, the pastas, the entrees, the desserts (my husband thinks the limoncello marscaponecake is "irresponsibility delicious"). Do yourself a favor and eat here! Not a bad thing on the menu. Read more
Four years ago, I gave La Rocca?s a 5 star review: ?Very small place, but the best pizza around.? Four years later and I have... to say, this was the worst dining experience that we?ve had in a while. First of all, it?s 74 outside and it had to be 85inside. We had immediate seating, which was great. They?re employing high school kids for wait staff, which is also great. Theservice was OK, it took a while for someone to take our order. Some additional training would help, can?t blame the staff forthat. We both ordered lasagna @ $15, which included bread but no salad or other sides. And then we waited. In the meantime,the chef was out of the kitchen, visiting with patrons for over 10 minutes. When he went back to kitchen, he was eating food theentire time he was cooking food, which we thought was kind of strange. I felt sorry for the couple with 2 kids, who got therebefore us and didn?t get served until after we did. The lasagna was not good. The sauce was thin, watery, and pale (not a thickred tomato sauce) and also very salty. After the first taste, I said to my wife ?this sauce tastes just like Spaghetti-O?s!? &she said ?that?s EXACTLY what I was thinking!?. The lasagna had some meat and cheese layers, but they were thin. By the timewe got served, we were starving and we ate it regardless. The bread was honestly the best part of the meal, but we had to askfor bread to be served before we got our lasagna and ate most of it before the main course. Honestly, Costco lasagna is 1000%better and you get 4 times as much lasagna for under $20. Just sayin?? It looked to us like they were serving a lot ofcarry-out pizza, and maybe the pizza is still good. I definitely would advise patrons stick to the pizza and avoid thepasta? With all that said, we love to support local restaurants and back local businesses as much as possible. I hope the ownerreads this review and instead of getting mad, says ?we can do better??

Food is authentic, delicious & amazing. One of us Sicilian's had pasta & the other two Italians, ordered personal sized pizza. ... Tasted like are mom's homemade meals. No one had made homemade pizza's like our mama's did. But La Rocca's does! The staff isfriendly & attentive. Felt & smelt like my mom's home. Every Sunday, when the whole family would dine together.

Met an old friend for dinner here. The staff were very courteous, and it had a nice atmosphere, though the space was rather... small. The food was of good quality, though with the exception of the dessert, it was not to my taste. My friend enjoyed theirmeal, and indicated that their pizza (which we did not have that evening) was excellent. The prices were higher than I wouldhave expected based on the food, but not outrageously so. Read more
Real Italian. We had Spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were amazing. Spaghetti was cooked perfectly. Very good wines to... complement the dishes. Canoli was amazing. The flavor snuck up on you. At first it was unassuming then all of a sudden it wasamazing. Lemoncello cake was light and airy with delicious lemon flavor and creamy lemon frosting. Read more
This restaurant is a true 5 star experience. I don't know if the locals realize how fortunate they are to have this restaurant... in their town but I'm so lucky to have stopped through! I could not believe how many items were housemade! The chef's saladaSiciliana with housemade dressing was so flavorful. Housemade sausage over penne with the chef's marinara is the best I've everhad. As someone who appreciates the most unique sauces, this marinara is so decadent and flavorful. I only want marinara from LaRocca's. The cheese tortellini were heavenly cheese filled pillows atop a cloud of creamy Alfredo with sliced almonds that addeda necessary crunch and light almond flavor. I was so happily full that the limoncello cake had to come home with me. Off to bedI go to dream of my dinner this evening.. Thanks Emma and Chef for an amazing dinner! ???? I'll be back whenever I'm in town. Read more
This Italian restaurant was so yummy!! It?s a very small restaurant, only about 5 tables, but it?s so good. My friend found this... place by happenstance and the food was outstanding. Prices were great too! Read more
