Da Rocchio Ristorante Italiano in Bradford

Da Rocchio offers an exceptional blend of authentic Italian flavors, warm ambiance, and outstanding service. From the creamy Burrata Caprese starter to the perfectly seasoned Linguine alle Vongole and melt-in-your-mouth Osso Buco Milanese, every dish was a delight. The Tiramisu was the perfect ending—light, flavorful, and indulgent. The attentive staff, elegant décor, and extensive wine list elevated the experience, making it ideal for both romantic dinners and family celebrations. While on the pricier side, the quality and care in every detail make it worth every euro. Highly recommended!

Tuve una comida encantadora aquí a mitad de semana poniéndome al día con un amigo. El restaurante estaba bastante ocupado temprano en la noche un miércoles, que probablemente se reduce a la madrugada. Son 17 libras. 95 por dos platos y creo que tal vez 20 libras. 95 por tres. Hay una muy buena elección, la mayoría del menú para ser justos. Tenía el melón para empezar y mi amigo la mozzarella. Como principal tenía el pollo kiev con verduras y patatas y mi amigo la pasta de pollo. La comida era excelente y el servicio bueno. Los cumpleaños felices son un poco estremecedores y tan ruidosos! ¡Cuando has oído hablar de las 3 de la noche empieza a rallar un poco! Quizás coincidan con algunas críticas en que no hay mucho ambiente y es muy casual, pero ciertamente no hay quejas con la comida o el valor.

La primera vez en el Rocchio, fui a dar un regalo de cumpleaños a mi marido. A la llegada lo primero que nos golpeó fue el ruido. . . . era RUIDOSO! ! Si usted está después de una comida íntima tranquila este no es el lugar para usted. No hay ambiente y honestamente no había nada auténtico en él en absoluto. Me había esforzado por vestirme para el cumpleaños de mi marido pero no tenía por qué haberme molestado, digamos que la mayoría de la gente no había hecho ningún esfuerzo. El personal de camareros era lo suficientemente agradable, pero tuvimos que pedirles que gritaran porque apenas se podía oír nada por encima del ruido. La comida era promedio en el mejor de los casos. Pedí Lasaña que estaba apenas caliente y muy seco en el centro. Dejé la mayor parte. La principal de mi marido era marginalmente mejor pero no memorable. Nos fuimos temprano y muy decepcionados. Solo para añadir, el aparcamiento tampoco es bueno y no hay acceso para discapacitados. No volveré a visitarte.

First time visiting for our family and we had a fabulous night as my stepson said he’s always wanted to come here so I booked it for him. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, the prices are more than reasonable and to top it off the staff (along with all the customers) sang happy birthday to my stepson for his 12th birthday and he was over the moon! We like to dine out as a family regularly and, we where pleasantly surprised, so we will definitely be visiting more often😊

We had a Party of 14 all looked after all food came out at the same time 👍. Great Tasting Food 👌.

Tina Turner tribute night, everything was 1st class, service, foot and atmosphere.

Lovely food Staff helpful Nice environment

Fabulosa comida de nuevo. Personal muy amable en un ambiente muy acogedor. Mi lugar favorito, cerca de casa. Nunca decepcionado.

Excelente comida y excelente servicio. Precioso restaurante limpio. Encantador tiempo en familia con personal amable que siempre está encantado de ayudar

Great food and cocktails. The staff were really friendly, and I will be going back soon.

Excellent experience highly recommended will be dining again soon

First time eating in this establishment tonight and the food was amazing! Could only manage a starter and main but both myself and misses loved every bit. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

He estado muchas veces nos encanta aquí la comida excelente personal genial, hemos estado solos los dos y toda la familia. Los especiales son fabulosos un poco caros pero personalmente creo que vale la pena, me encantan las comidas de pescado

Fantastic value and great food service brilliant and good hot.

Excellent evening celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, lovely food, great service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly and attentive and made sure that pour food was to our liking and that we had enjoyed our experience. The food was very good and the prices very reasonable.

We came here for our anniversary as I proposed to my wife here 8 years ago. Although the name has changed the food and the service is still superb. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Service good food had alot better calzone overpriced for what you got pasta meals very average pizza was ok would we go back no

Very helpful staff. Good quality food. The pizzas were particularly good. Drinks were not too expensive. The restaurant can be very crowded on a Saturday night, but this did not spoil the atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant.

First visit tonight to celebrate my daughter’s 30th. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and plentiful. Mum and dad shared a starter and they brought it out on 2 separate plates which was a really lovely touch. Overall a really wonderful evening. Would definitely recommend.

We ate here last night, for my Daughters birthday, they don't usually open on Tuesdays, but they made an exception because a large birthday party had already been booked. It was excellent, the food, the drinks and the service were all first class. We had a mixture of starters, calamari, ribs and prawns, all delicious. My Husband and I chose the sea bass as our mains, cooked to perfection and with a nice side of vegetables. My Daughter and Granddaughter chose the steaks, again cooked to perfection and nicely presented. The service was exceptionally good, even though it was really busy, we didn't have to wait long for anything. All the staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was to much trouble. Loved the surprise birthday hat and complimentary drink at the end. All in all it was a lovely evening and one which we will definitely wish to repeat in the future.

Beautiful food. A very busy night but staff were very attentive and worked hard to keep up with serving people. Lovely atmosphere,people celebrating and enjoying themselves.

Fantastic food and lovely service

Best place to eat in Bradford! Amazing staff and gorgeous authentic Italian food.

Amazing. Visited on Friday 31st May2024x Staff were polite and very friendly. 2x birthdays while on site and the birthday celebrations with all staff taking part is very good.. everyone enjoying the celebrations. Food was excellent and great value for money. We usually spend £80+ at other Italian restaurants. Wine wasn’t overly expensive. Below £8 a glass.. which isn’t bad in terms of today’s prices. We will be back. RECOMMENDED 5*

I have never ever been so impressed with such brilliant service and all round good food

Lovely meal Fantastic service Would definitely recommend We are a returning customer my mum wanted to come back after visiting on new years eve which says alot

Very efficient service and extremely friendly and polite! Excellent food, again-we have been 3 times now and consistent high quality food, tasting fresh and well cooked.

Went for the first time, had the early bird menu - absolutely brilliant Ribs for starters (best I've had anywhere), salmon for main then fantastic dessert. Will be going back.

Absolutely brilliant in every aspect, haven’t been in years and I’m annoyed at myself for not coming back sooner, this will now be a regular spot for me and misses

We visit Da Rocchio often and are never disappointed. The food, staff, service and atmosphere are all amazing. I recommend this restaurant to family and friends all the time. The early bird menu is excellent value. They also do some gluten free options. Visit and you will not be disappointed.

Very friendly staff. Very helpful at adapting options for vegans. Husband loved the mozzarella in caroza.

Very nice place with fast service and a great selection on the menu, plus special for the day

Amazing place. Fab food. Great atmosphere. Staff are so lovely, welcoming, friendly. Been going since Giovanni and Agnieszka. Won’t go anywhere else. Thank you.

Excellent meal out with family and friends. Recommended but do book in advance

From staff friendliness and service to the atmosphere and the quality of food yet again a very pleasurable dining experience.

Love it here overall amazing experience been lots of times definately recommend

Staff very friendly, great service and food was delicious. Quick service.

In response to the absurd reviews below, I'd like to say that I've never had a bad meal at this restaurant, the portions are far from small (though I appreciate it's all relative), the staff are lovely and friendly, and the food is very tasty!

Just been for daughters 18th bday meal. Staff are awesome. Great food. Big thank you for the cake and celebrations. Xxx

De rocchio Italian restaurant. Thornton road. What a right load of rubbish.. Noisy as hell, the food is rubbish and the service is disgusting!!! Apart from ourselves and two other couples who made an effort the place was full of people with no dress sense, trainers, t/ shirts and young girls that looked like they was ready to stand on seedy street corners awaiting business!! Some parents have no shame at all, mind you, the mothers looked like they would standing on the other side of the road.!! Am I a snob ?? Or is it I just expected people to make an effort when going out for an evening meal !! On arrival at the bar I asked for 2 Kia’s . A Kia is a palate cleanser,, it gets ya mouth ready for ya meal, it’s very good and if you’re a foodie I would try it !! It’s simply a cheap white wine and blackcurrant cassis that’s all but be careful, it’s strong , they didn’t even know what it was, the young lady who served us was ignorant and had an attitude too. We got seated and ordered, The table bread was gorgeous, 🙄.. So for starters I had the mozzarella carroza, “ breade deep fried mozzarella with a tomato garlic sauce, and a bit of a green pesto drizzle The Mrs had chicken liver pate, The mozzarella was flat, looked like a slice of deep fried bread, i was hungry so i ate and it wasn’t that bad but mozzarella comes in balls not slices , if it’s sliced then it’s bought in rubbish, but the chicken liver pate was exactly the same as Lidl or aldi, to fine to made in house, a pate made in house always comes in a pot with a layer of fat on it !! , For mains the Mrs had the beef stroganoff, It came with a good helping of stroganoff and a small cup of rice,, the wife had one mouth full, got a napkin and discreetly spat it into the napkin. The meat was tough and grisly, the rice was cold and dry ! She did try bit of meat on her plate and spat them out in to a napkin again. The menu said it was filet beef, it most certainly was not !! Then she found pickled girkins in it, PICKED GIRKINS ?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🙈. I had the rib eye with roast potatoes carrots, broccoli and pepper corn sauce. I asked for medium well done. It arrived, the thinnest portion of steak I’d ever seen and it was well done, to be honest it was so thin it would be impossible to undercook! The veg was over cooked too, I ate it because I was starving as we’d just walked out off another restaurant because they changed the menu to a tapas style full of Asian style bajis and pork balls “ not exactly what I wanted, I want a nice meal ! I felt guilty for eating mine as the wife left hers ! The waiter came, asked what the problem was with the wife’s food, and then I told him, he brought the manager.. the manager arrived at the table, we told her about our food, and I told her the pate was from lidle , she did confirm this, then I asked her would she get away with serving this rubbish in Italy and she said no, I the replied “ if that’s the case then why do you think you can in England”! She shrugged her shoulders.. and walked away.. We asked for a coffee and a double vodka lemonade. The Mrs said there’s no vodka in lemonade, I asked the waitress to put vodka in it nd she said she put vodka in, shot us a dirty look and walked off, I lost my rag, walked to bar area and gave the drink to an adult to try, she said it’s sweet and no vodka in it !! We settled our bill for what I thought was right to pay for and left .. So…. If youre looking for a nice meal with real in house Italian food , good service with a romantic setting and you want to make effort and dress up then this most certainly isn’t the place to go ! But if you’re a chav, let ya kids dress like gangsters and tarts and you live off takeaways and ya Mrs can’t cook unless out of a packet then you will love this place !!! Very disappointed!! When it was villa roma its wasn’t bad at all !!

Great night for Valentine’s celebration. All of the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Our food was excellent. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Hadn't booked got in .Five minutes before early bird finished we were allowed to order it.Food very enjoyable great service and good atmosphere. Thanks will go again 👍

The food is absolutely excellent, and the staff are so warm and welcoming, this place caters for all ages, and i wouldn't eat anywhere else, i have had numerous visits here and it is such a great atmosphere.

Great place to eat, have parties, etc. Great staff at good prices.

Just had a fantastic night here and will definitely be having a few more! Great service, great food and the staff are ace 👍🏽

We usually get a take away from here. The food is always exceptional and the service is wonderful. It's a tad more expensive than getting a regular takeaway but it's certainly worth it for the excellent food and the consistency. We've eaten in the restaurant a year or so ago and whilst the place is really lovely, it feels a little cold and it's way too bright.

The food was excellent, options for gluten free were pointed out and all staff were really helpful. I have had problems in other restaurants where the choice was limited or even non existent.. here was lovely to go where I felt my particular dietary needs were catered for with a large variety of choice.

The four of us had a really good time. Thank you all so much. This was a belated birthday treat for our Granddaughter, Georgia. The four of us, myself, my husband, Georgia, and her boyfriend, Georgia, really enjoyed it.

Seriously 5 star for everything. Very welcoming and top service. Would definitely recommend.

Svery welcoming staff ,food amazing,atmosphere Would recommend this ristorante to everybody

Staff-friendly food excellent 👌

Fanatic establishment with a very high end feeling. Staff are all extremely polite and attentive and every care is taken. Food is fresh and delicious and authentic.

Went for our Christmas meal with all our family on Friday early evening. 7 adults & 5 children various ages. Everyone had something different and all enjoyed the food. 3 courses alot to eat so staff packed up the left over pizzas to take home. I had the duck & orange pate and then the tagliolini con pollo e spinachi - absolutely delicious. At £25 for 3 courses and coffee thought it was excellent value. All the staff were excellent. Very polite & attentive. The restaurant is clean & airey. A very pleasant venue for our family christmas meal out. Would recommend. The only criticism I would give is the drinks are a bit pricey.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Love going to Da Rocchio, very local, always the same cheerful greeting, extremely clean

Went today 14th Dec 2023 for the 1st time. Greeted well by staff showed to our table by friendly staff got a drink and given plenty of time to decide what we wanted. Starter came pretty quickly which was very nice ( I had pate my partner had garlic mushrooms) then given time to eat before main came which was fantastic (I had beef stroganoff my partner had pizza) which again was lovely then at the end of the meal we where offered a complimentary drink which was a lovely gesture. I truly recommend this restaurant, lovely food, great staff, and reasonable priced

Delicious food, very friendly and helpful staff. Had a lovely Friday evening there.

Popped in for the early bird with our 2 children as we live local. Managed to get a table last minute which was no trouble and the food was delicious. We had a problem with one of the starters but this was rectified no problem by staff and we still enjoyed the rest of our meals. Really good value for money and the Xmas crackers and music made a great atmosphere in the lead up to Xmas

Lovely food, brilliant atmosphere, and great attentive staff. Best Italian around.

Great Food and great service, very decent portions, highly recommended another hidden gem in Bradford

Everything is excellent. Food is good and the early bird is exceptiona value for money. The staff are always friendly and attentive.

Lovely meal for our anniversary, the staff were great.....Thank-you....

Had a wonderful evening. Great atmosphere, staff were friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. This is highly recommended for authentic Italian food.

The one waitress that stood out the most to me was Beth, such a lovely warming and welcoming girl. looking forward to be served by her again. Great addition to the rocca staff. Thank you Beth🤍

Lovely Restaurant, great food and very attentive staff. Will definitely be back

I take my family here at least twice a month as we live local , the food is always amazing, and the staff are always really friendly.

Everything great : food, ambience, staff.

I came across this local restaurant recently and now go out of my way to come whenever I can. Friendly staff and lovely food. The portions are actually too large for me and we always leave completely stuffed. The only downside is the room acoustics...

A fathers day treat early. Had a wonderful time. Food and drink was well accepted. I had duck in a blueberry sauce which was divine.

these portions arent acceptable on any level...my main of veal that was to be accompanied by veg...consisted of .. 1 small potato cut into 3 peices... 1 small carrot cut into 6 strips ... small palm of sauted courgette... the veal was small and salty......

Lovely restaurant. Great food and friendly, helpful staff.

We went for a meal here to celebrate a family members 13th birthday. The food was amazing! But what was even better was the attitude of the staff. They treated us like special guests, were attentive and a couple if the waiters were also very...

Had such a lovely meal and staff were really friendly.

It's a great place if you just fancy a meal out or want to celebrate a birthday. All the staff make you feel welcomed. The food is delicious even if you have to wait a little while for it to arrive.

We didn't book but they fitted us in and the food was delicious and hot and cater for gluten free people like me which was brilliant and we would recommend this place to anyone as a really nice change. Five stars all round.

Good atmosphere and attentive service, as well as good food

Beautiful food ..friendly staff We always get fab service ...Tonight , my Sisters & I went for the " early bird" menu .. Absolutely 💯% Its a great atmosphere, family's, couples , birthday celebrations, small intimate weddings are all catered for.. You never feel rushed . Love dining there ..we are returning happy customers.

Food was ok although not as nice as previous visits. The prices have increased in the past 12 months and the food portions have got a lot smaller, especially on the mains. Overall I would not go out of my way to visit again anytime...

Lovely early bird birthday meal with friends. Service and food was excellent with a group of 10 people it was good the food came together and such a high standard

Absolutely lovely restaurant. The meal was great. The atmosphere and service were warm, relaxed, efficient. A class act.

9 went for an anniversary meal and the atmosphere was great. It was a Wednesday evening and the place was very busy.

Fantastic food . Fantastic staff who went out of their way to make our night so enjoyable. Best Italian food I’ve eaten !

Went Friday 31/3 for a friend's leaving do. Couldn't fault it and lovely food. Will return.

Ive been bringing my family here for a few years now , every birthday occasion or just when we can’t be bothered cooking , the food is always amazing and the staff service are always really accommodating too.

Booked for a Saturday evening. Great atmosphere and very attentive service. We were a party of 5 & all ordered different starters & main courses & everyone enjoyed their meals. No complaints from us. My partner said the rack of lamb was the best he’d...
