Reviews for Johnny Rocco's Italian Grill in St. Catharines, ON

Service and Food is amazing here. The portion sizes are out of this world, and full of flavours. This restaurant uses a wood... fire oven for open flame pizza, adds an authentic touch and flavour to each pizza. Rice balls was my favourite dish, came with 4huge Rice Balls, that could make an individual full. The staff is very friendly and service was amazing, I would recommendeveryone to try! You don’t leave this place hungry! Read more

We went to Johnny Rocco's for a late lunch/early dinner on a weekday. The hostess/waitress were very friendly and sweet. The... atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. My niece ordered an apple pecan salad with grilled chicken on top. She really enjoyedthe salad. I ordered the calamari fritti al diavolo. The presentation was lovely. The calamari arrived steaming hot on a castiron dish. I was so excited to eat them. I must admit, I was disappointed. The calamari tasted like they were covered in acommercial hot sauce and were very greasy. I will go back to this restaurant but will not order their calamari al diavolo nexttime. Read more

Very good dinner experince overall. The bread was very fresh and warm - the oil dip however was very very odd. Nothing beats... olive oil salt and balasmic. The soup was good but salty. The meatballs were very moist but good overall. The calzone was HUGE!2-3 people needed to finish 1. The pasta pretty standard - I enjoyed the parmesan that the waitress came to the table to shredovertop. The ambiance of the restraunt is pretty neat - it was really loud inside but the decor and stone work was super cool. Iwould go back :) Read more

I wish I could give a review with negative stars! We have been taking our kids to Jonny Roccos ever since they opened.  Today... on my sons birthday they asked for Jonny Roccos. We ordered chicken penne and a pizza for them.  The food arrived and wereceived the pizza but along with it was an order of penne with meatballs and one meatball looked half eaten.  It looked like atake out container filled with someone's leftovers.  We called the restaurant only to be told by Sarah the manager that "wecannot do anything with the 3rd party, so you need to call skip the dishes".  We then asked if they would not take ownership ofthe food they cooked and they said "no you need to contact skip the dishes".  If this is your position when the community istrying to support you in a pandemic, then your restaurant does not deserve the support!

The ambience was really very unique and if you're visiting St.Catherine's it is a must location to visit. Staff was extremely... friendly and hospitable, unfortunately the meals proved itself to be a tad bit mediocre. For instance, we ordered a fettuccinealfredo, but were served a penne without an justification and the consistency of the sauce was not thin enough but rather runny.We had been disappointed yet tired as we had driven over an hour to make our reservations! Nevertheless we hope to visit again,perhaps a second visit will be a bit more appetizing! It is a family friendly restaurant and very large one at that, you candefinitely host large groups if you are looking for a place! Read more

The food was good, the calzone was more than large enough for two people. Everything tasted good in the service was nice. I had... actually thought there would be a bit more ambiance, dimly lit, as the building and Inn itself is so beautiful,and found it tobe a bit like a "chain" restaurant. The music that was being played was terrible thankfully wasn't too loud but certainly didn'thelp. Overall it was okay. Read more

the quality of food has gone down so much in the past year sadly. why are they putting so much olive oil on a already super thin... pizza? they didn’t do this before and now it’s made their pizzas inedible. I dined in not too long ago and same thing thepizza was drenched in oil that all the cheese and sauce just falls right off.. Spent $20 on this and a cesar salad for lunch andim very disappointed. please please please go back to your old way of making pizzas those were the best! Read more

Went in without a reservation on a Friday night. We were seated right away. Our server was fantastic. The restaurant was very... busy with large parties. However our server was very attentive to all her tables. We received our drinks quickly. She was veryknowledgeable about gluten which made me feel safe. Our food came out in good time and it was amazing. Fantastic meal andexperience! Read more
