Had a lovely meal yesterday food was delicious. The restaurant was lovely decorated, but was a little cold. Service from waitresses were superb especially Gorgie and Abbie. Would recommend.

I have lived in Hamilton for a long time but had always put off trying Rocca's, assuming it would be out of my price range because of how fancy it looks. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is very reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and how well everything is cooked and presented. The food is fantastic, and the staff are absolutely lovely, making sure you are well looked after from start to finish. We are already looking forward to them hosting my parents' golden wedding anniversary. It is the perfect spot for a special occasion.

We attended Rocca on 31st December for the Hogmanay event. What an amazing experience from start to finish. The service, food and overall experience was fantastic. We danced the night away and at midnight the atmosphere was brilliant. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something different to do at the bells. Oh and a special mention to the bar staff whoever came up with the Havana cocktail OMG 😋

So myself and my wife decided to try this place for my birthday,what a disappointment, we arrived and the girl asked us where we would like to sit,we chose our seats,she sat us down never said a single word to us never asked us if we wanted drinks walked away and left us for 30 minutes,now this was a Monday and they weren't understaffed,then they served a couple that came after us....so she finally comes over and asks us if we want a drink ordered the drink then left again then she came back 5mins later to take our order only to be told sorry we don't have muscles...this is also the only Italian restaurant I have ever stepped into and never smelt any food whatsoever also the only Italian i have been in that doesn't bring fresh bread to the table,that aside it was a terrible experience....so by this time me and my wife decided enough was enough I got up and told them i left my card at home as it was very embarrassing....the food might have been good but I wasn't paying for mickey mouse service by little girls that clearly didn't wasn't to be their....if anyone wants a good Italian restaurant go to Da claudios in motherwell it's only a 5mins drive...we usually go to Da claudios but unfortunately it's closed on Mondays. This place can't last much longer with service like this.......

Went out for dinner tonight prior to a gig, waited a long time for drinks to be brought to the table. Dinner wasn't the best and the sauce had a skin on it prior to being brought to the table. Personally wouldn't recommend.

The setting and ambience of this restaurant is very nice and I also think the servers try hard to provide a good service. Sadly despite several visits we come to the same conclusion that the food never impresses.

Can’t speak highly enough about this place. First time here & food was lovely. A special thanks to them for catering to those like myself who can’t eat gluten - They have an extensive separate menu - I ordered an amazing gluten free pizza (something that I’ve rarely seen on the menu in any other restaurant) & it was delicious. We’re very fortunate to have Rocca offering this in Lanarkshire. The others in the party loved their food too & we enjoyed our visit. Very friendly service & nice location too. The decor & vibe of the place has perfectly combined a welcoming feel with modern vibes. We will definitely be back!

My husband and i are here regular for celebrations throughout the year since moving to Scotland in 2021 and i actually can't believe i have never left a review. Exceptional everytime! Came again yesterday for Hubby Birthday and again impressed. The decor at the front door is eye catching. When you walk in the friendly staff greet you with a welcome. We booked our table but there are times we just call in. We were shown to our table and staff as always are very attentative. Lots to choose from on the menu, the food is always outstanding never had a complaint. Portion sizes and prices are excellent as well. Fully recommend.

We booked Rocca for a meal, with family, after our recent wedding. The staff went above and beyond our expectations and fulfilled everything we asked, even down to personalised menus. Everybody in our party enjoyed the meals and praised highly the venue. We loved every minute and were made to feel so welcome, even though we ran a little late. Nothing was too much. We can’t thank Rocca enough for being so accommodating. My husband and I will be back and hope our wedding party will join us again. From Mr & Mrs Carracher

Had a meal with my parents my fathers fish was more representative of frozen fish goujons and the meatballs were burnt in the spaghetti dish which I had ordered. When my father said he was less than impressed the waiter thought he was joking and they still didn’t see fit to adjust the bill afterwards, I’d have to think twice before returning.

We had an absolutely amazing meal for 4. No starters, but 3 delicious meals. Chef's fish and chips were real chips with fillet of cod and veg. Next was a chicken risotto with cream and mixed spices. Last was a pizza for 2 to share. Mushrooms,black olives,mozzarella, and side salad and everything was eaten. Next was a mix of ice-cream for 3 each having different flavours and I had the homemade tiramisso, I could have had it twice it was a piece of heaven 😋. Bestest Italian restaurant ever, spotless everywhere. Staff were a delight to be served by. Well worth the 5 stars 🌟

What a fantastic place! My only disappointment is that I haven't been sooner! The service was excellent, food sublime and a really lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend the Scallops Scozzese - very generous portion of perfectly cooked scallops on Stornoway black pudding with chorizo - woke up this morning craving it again! I had calamari to start, it was delicious with a light flakey batter and served with a really tangy tomato and caper salsa. I love when you have a meal at a restaurant and know you want to have the exact same experience all over again. Really lovely staff who were very welcoming & friendly. It was very busy with a couple of large parties but the staff just took it all in their stride and nothing phased them. Great selection of cocktails 👍🏼

Always an outstanding experience when we dine at Rocca. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to cater for our little girl who is ASN, is wheelchair dependent and has food intolerances - even catering for her autistic needs by preparing her a special milkshake that wasn’t on the menu. When asked where she wanted to go for her birthday the immediate response was Rocca please!

Contrary to the positive reviews I can see about this establishment I had a different experience. We went here after seeing positive gluten free reviews. We have a lot of anxiety around eating out due to coeliac disease but we hadn’t managed to get out for a meal in a long time so gave it a shot. The service from our actual waiter couldn’t be faulted however the attitude of the head waiter/manager should be looked at. After a bit of a delay we ordered 2 starters and main courses to all be gluten free. After a slight hiccup involving pizza my partner decided to order pasta. My partners dish arrived and up until this point everything was fine. A second pasta dish appeared at our table as a replacement for my partners dish. Of which caused panic and confusion due to coeliac disease. We were reassured on 4 separate occasions that both dishes were definitely gluten free but nobody could answer “why does it need to be swapped” so after a visible panic attack, the untouched replacement dish was taken and we were offered dessert. To which we declined to be met with visible attitude from the head waiter/manager. And not only that for him to start gossiping and moaning about us with his colleagues. So, with a panic attack, hunger and obvious embarrassment we’re now getting stared at. The head waiter/manager should be ashamed of themselves. The restaurant assured us this was all due to a new employees lack of experience but this is not true. It doesn’t explain why a second identical dish was made and sent to our table and it doesn’t explain why we were made to feel rotten by the head waiter/manager. We will not be back. Gluten free. In response to your reply. I’ve noticed you’re still passing your buck onto your young servers. The waiting staff you are referring to told us she was told to swap ours for a new one. The servers do what you tell them. Your manager was obnoxious when I politely declined a dessert. Huffing as he turned away. I’ve written this review to warn coeliac sufferers of a bad experience. It’s my opinion of events that happened to me.

Really wasn’t happy with my 1st experience here. We were out for our 1st date this year. We barely get any time off. We were also celebrating a new pregnancy. We didn’t wait long for our starters & we both found these were really nice but it all went downhill from here. I mentioned a couple of times that I have a gluten allergy. I actually have celiac disease but find most restaurants don’t know what this is. I did enquire about the gluten free pizzas. We got told they are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen but cooked in the same oven as the non gluten free pizzas which really defeats the purpose. They can’t be in the same oven because the flour from the gluten pizzas is just circulating the oven and going onto the gluten free pizzas. A chef should really know that flour can be airborne for a long time. I ended up ordering a gluten free pasta dish instead. I had already eaten quite a few bites of my pasta & a waitress comes over and says we have given you the wrong plate this is meant to be yours here. Holding another plate of pasta. She said no the one you are eating is gluten free but so is this one. We just need to swap. I was really confused & this just put me straight up into a panic. The manager came over & checked this out for us and said don’t worry they were both gluten free. This made myself & partner even more confused because nobody explained why they needed to swap the dishes if they were the same. I ended up taking a small panic attack at the table because my reaction to gluten is probably one of the worst. Not to mention I am newly pregnant & had no idea how this was going to effect my pregnancy or baby. I stopped eating my food. The second dish they served me also tasted different from the first & I found it rather bland. I think I could of made this at home. The restaurant started getting snarky because I wasn’t eating the second dish they gave me. I was taking a panic attack. We were about two metres from the desk where the manager & other staff were stood. It became quite apparent that we were moaning & speaking about us. Other staff, even other staff we didn’t know were looking quite awkward and looking back at us after hearing the manager speak. This was making me feel really uncomfortable and I was desperate to leave. We waited half an hour for our bill while this was going on. What a way to treat customers. This wasn’t our fault. Got made to feel like it was though & that we were an inconvenience. The manager came over looking quite annoyed at us & told us he removed the price of my food off the bill. It would of been appreciated if it didn’t look like it was grudged. We still don’t know why my meal was swapped. This was our first time here & we won’t be back. This has been the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. MY RESPONSE- Every single celiac I know asks about a separate oven because we react to it. Heat doesn’t burn off gluten. This is not how it works. I have had to make my entire house gluten free because using the same oven as everyone else was making me sick. You wouldn’t prepare a nut dish then put it in the same oven with a nut allergy. It has taken them a very long time to actually tell us why my dish was swapped. I’m not taking this excuse as having to tell people for training. Moaning about an issue & having everyone stare at us and make us feel uncomfortable is kind of an odd experience. I guess you will say anything to cover for yourselves though. I do know a pizza restaurant that had to buy a different oven for their gluten free pizzas for people reacting. Also loads of takeaways saying “not suitable for celiacs” because they use the same oven. Not everyone has the same reactions which is maybe something that should be researching instead of just judging it by their families. Even if a celiac doesn’t have a reaction it can still be damaging their insides. Not responding to this anymore. Their behaviour was unacceptable which they are never going to admit.

Place was lovely and the staff were very kind and get along with. For children they have there food come out when it is ready, however the problem with this is that since some things are cooked fresh, children are finished sooner and had to wait for us. Toilets are OK, the sink causes splash back, think it's just the design of them. It is value for money for things that is fresh cooked, to us it was worth it. There wasn't alot of vegetarian or vegan options. Would recommend trying it.

Had a voucher to use here for my birthday. First impressions were not great service wise. Ordered drinks which came after a while and not asked if wanted to order food. Eventually after a good 15 minutes we were asked. Noticed cutlery wasn't clean so we did that ourselves. Ordered fish sharing platter for starters. When it came on one big plate the Italian waiter didn't ask if we wanted side plates or anything so we had to ask for that as well.. One starter to share between 2 so it's not rocket science to bring 2 side plates. Looked nice enough but noticed hardly any calamari. Noticed Fried prawns and scampi pieces looked decent sized. Mrs dissected them and we found hardly any fish or prawns in them at all and 90% batter. On to Mains. 2 pasta dishes. 1 chicken and broccoli and 1 cheese and panchetta. Both were quite tasty but we noticed a total lack of chicken and broccoli on 1 and next to no panchetta on the other. We actually quite liked the food but it was clear to us that the restaurant is really watching what you get portion wise. We hardly got any fish, chicken or panchetta in our meals but you pay for them. The pasta portions were decent sizes but we had a quarter of a stem of broccoli and quarter a breast of chicken in 1 meal and probably 1 slice of panchetta in the other. It's amazing how much cheese and pasta hides meat.

I just wanted to pop on here and leave my experience of our last meal.here, the lovely Emma managed to squeeze us in last minute for a treat for fathers day which was the first act of kindness shown to us, when we arrived we were showed to our table and offered drinks which came literally within minutes of ordering. Moving on to the food every course we got came lovely and warm and very well presented (even though I'm quite a fuss pot) whatever we asked for was not an issue and all 3 off our meals from start to finish was simply outstanding. And just 1 last thing Emma continuously makes the effort to come and ask if alls OK etc which it always always is! From kitchen staff, to bar staff and front off house staff uz all do a fantastic job on a daily basis and should all be very proud off yourself 💕 we will be back soon for our rocca fix lol.

Booked for 8 people for dinner and had to give a deposit of £10 per person. However 2 friends could not be there so informed the restaurant early afternoon that only 6 attending. They were grateful for this information as it helped with their table arrangements. However, when we asked for the bill the deposit had not been taken off and when we pointed this out they took £60 off and not £80 as expected. The food was good, no problem there, BUT WE WILL NOT BE BACK. So disappointed.

Positives- staff were nice and attentive, the building and restaurant was lovely, toilets clean. Negatives- fresh orange juice was the cheap concentrate orange, the food wasn’t great and the price didn’t reflect the poor quality. Steak wasn’t the best and under seasoned. My guests said their food was bland and were really disappointed. Almost £80 for 2 people for 3 mains and 4 soft drinks - a poor to mediocre lunch. I now know why there was only 1 other group in such a large restaurant for lunch.

Went to this restaurant for my niece's 15th birthday. Staff were very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress was particularly good at taking care of us. Food was all excellent except for one of the desserts. Described as a warm caramel shortcake, I expected a bit of a crunch (texture) but was disappointed that it was just all crumbs....felt like just a pile of warm chocolate caramel mush in my mouth. I will definitely be coming back, I will just order a different dessert next time!

First time in Rocca and maybe it was just bad timing. I called up Saturday and asked to book at table for 8.40 the guy on the phone said no problem. Arrived at 8.40 and got seated, with in 2 mins of taking my jacket off I was asked if I wanted a drink (nothing wrong with that it's been a long week and needed one) Before the drinks have even arrived we where asked for our food order, so 5 mins In to arriveing it was drinks and food order very rushed. Starters came out very fast and obviously throne together as we were the last people to order. The calamari was like rubber but the arancini was nice. When starters came I asked for a 2nd glass of wine which never came had to ask again for it, seemed that there was only 1 girl running around her self(she was helpful and clearly very busy) when the main course arrived it was hands down the wrose meal we have had, the king scallops were clear not pan fried, unfortunately on this occasion the customer is a chef. They where clearly put in a over with the potatoes with the roe still attracted, and cold water spinach at £26.95 I would have expected more time and care put into our meal. We eaten 2 bits of the meal and that was enough.The waitress then asked if we where finished even with full plates, just seemed they did not wait us in at 8.40 if this was the case then please don't let people book tables at this time. After a long week of cooking food for other people I was looking forward to a relaxing night with good food unfortunately this never happened. From start to finish we where in and out in 30 mins. Only saving grace was the wine was a nice glass.

This is a gem of a place in Hamilton. Beautiful food, great service and a lovely restaurant setting. Even the ladies loo is fab (although a bit of a stair climb, but get your steps in, you'll need them). There is parking nearby and they have a lovely new separate bar too. Although I didn't go in, it looked very nice from the outside. We had hoped to go back and eat there a 2nd time but life got in the way. However, my friend has added it to the list of places she goes with her mum for lunch! If you love Italian food, you'll love Rocca. ❤️

Things started off great. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Prompt service to start with and great food, but midway through our night service went downhill. We were sat in the corner across from the bar and the entrance way. There was a large group in the opposite side which kept serving staff occupied. A big difference to our night would have been made if staff had simply glanced over to our table (when going between this group and the bar) so that we could get their attention but they didn’t. Eventually when someone was available to take a drinks order after our mains, we waited so long that I was about to approach the bar, cancel it and just get the bill but they eventually showed up. No apology for the wait (I would have given those drinks for free coupled with an apology!) Overall, we felt neglected and forgotten about for most of our evening after the starters arrived. Disappointing when Rocco seems to have so much else going for it. Politely made our feelings known when asked by a member of staff who said that she would pass on our feedback but that was it. In terms of food, antipasto was excellent, pizzas and Spaghetti Carbonara were good. Tagliatelle Bolognese was bland and under-seasoned in our opinion. Desserts were good but the home made Tiramisu was a disappointment (couldn’t taste much coffee). After the starters I said “we’re definitely coming back here” but after the whole experience I’m not so sure. Might give it another go in future, might not. It’s a competitive market and there’s lots of others to choose from…

QThen there's the food - we chose from the A La Carte menu...good value and very tasty. The boss had Veal Saltimbocca, and I had the chicken with creamy mushrooms & rice - delicious. And delicious desserts too! There's no rush here. A relaxed warm atmosphere. We highly recommend you visit!! Might be better to book a table, but we were lucky to get table 29.

My husband and I had a very nice time last night. The food and service was very professional and the atmosphere was really relaxing and didn't feel rushed at all.

Rocca never fails to disappoint. The food was awesome, the service is great and all at a very competitive price.

I had called on Friday the night before the Saturday 20th October 2023 I went out with friends to continue celebrating a special birthday to ensure they accepted the vouchers (ITISON £100) and was assured they accepted them. On the night after a lovely meal I was then told they did not accept them and was then in front of the restaurant was told by the Italian waiter I was a liar and did not mention the name of the voucher, after proving to them Rocca does accept ITISON I was then confronted with another obstacle of why they wouldnt take them to which my husband paid the bill to save any more embarassment as I was upset by this time. I left the restaurant with noone willing to help as it turns out I could have went on my phone there and then and registered the voucher to Rocca and redeemed it then but I was allowed to leave without any resolve to the situation.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Only thing will recommend is to make a reservation. Also, you should absolutely try the desserts! Decoration was great and the staff were lovely.

Dinner tonight. Ordered the Prosecco that did not say dry on the menu avoiding the dry and extra dry only to have a bottle of extra dry Prosecco arrive at the table brought it to the attention of the server to gave what I assume to be the manager come to the table and tell me Prosecco only comes as extra dry. That absolutely is not the case and I would have assumed that they know that Prosecco can be sweet and dry. Food arrived I ordered fish and chips were do I start it was awful fat unseasoned chips and frozen fish goujons I eat fish often and thus is by far the worst I have ever been served. It was bland unseasoned rubbish. But the manager did not appear to query my dissatisfaction of returning the full meal as he did to patronise me about the Prosecco. Loud obnoxious table across from us that got lots of attention kids at the table throwing balloons about and generally being a nuisance but as there were a lot of them that seemed to be acceptable for other diners to accept this circus of behaviour. All in all so disappointing food service and customer care. Might I also include the server that arrived at the table shouted pizza banged down our focaccia and left. Honestly the place was a complete shambles. I have given this place 3 chances now and had awful service or food each time tonight was the last straw. £138 to go home hungry total disgrace

Family lunch for 12. The table setting looked fantastic. The celebration menu had a wide choice of 3 courses. The food was good. The service was excellent. Restaurant has a friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

The food was fantastic! Can't fault any of the dishes we had. Our server had a great sense of humour and was attentive just the right amount, considering how busy it was. One of the servers accidentally spilled food towards one of my friends which then spilled onto her clothes a little. She seemed quite new, still learning. She apologised but could have tried to help clean up or replace the food that fell on the floor. Our table was situated right beside the food hatch and toilets so people were passing constantly. Not the best if you want a quiet, intimate evening. Regardless of this, we had a lovely time and would highly recommend the sea bass and carbonara!

Decided to go out for lunch late in the day. Nice décor and a typical Italian in terms of menu and drinks. The service was good and friendly and the menu very extensive. They had a Sunday offering as well. Food was good if a little to much in terms of portion size. Good wine selection.

Had a fantastic night here for a family birthday meal. There was 9 of us at our table and from the moment we walked in the staff couldnt have been anymore attentive and professional. The restaurant was jam packed so the staff must have been under alot of pressure but from what we seen the place never skipped a beat. Like to add that the lights, decor, ambience, atmosphere and even the smell of the food added that extra special feel to our night. Thanks for having our balloons all set out and for also bringing out the birthday cake and singing (slighly embarrassed but funny) The car park was full when we got there so no spaces but wasnt a problem as there is a public car park right next to the place and its about a 30 second walk to get to restaurant. Lastly, it was also nice to see the owner being hands on, you dont see much of that in restaurants these days…….hope to see you guys again, thank you

Went here for a birthday celebration. I have to say I am writing this review based on my 3 rd visit in the the past month. Food was lovely drinks quality was also great, the only thing I’d say lets this place down badly is the lack of staff. Never had any problems with the staff they were nice and polite and any requests were met, it is not here fault . I had to get up from my table about 5 times to go and find someone to ask for things like for example - our wine had been brought to the table not opened and needed a cork screw . No glasses had been brought with it it had been out in the table and left. They had forgot one of our cocktails I had to go to the bar and remind them twice by time she got it we were finished . I could go on but I’m not going to bore you with little details of things you would expect as normal service from a place of this standard which they are clearly trying hard to maintain. The bar area outside was worse absolutely lovely place . But with every seat inside and outside taken, lots iff cocktails being ordered and only two staff on. the young guy looked like it was his first day. The service was terrible I had to clear our table 4 times with trays of empty glasses and coffee cups etc . It’s not the staff fault and I can’t complain about any of them,they were just run off their feet and clearly a major lack of them. It was the same the past two visits so this has not improved in the past month. We left and went somewhere else and that was not our original intention. So a bit disappointed .

It’s a good location opposite the town hall. We had risotto and pizza calzone (with Italian meats). The risotto was very good, calzone a little burned but cooked through. I enjoyed mine and partner theirs. With a couple of bottles of rose evening swimmingly.

The set lunch menu (Menu Del Giorno) was great value and the portion size was ideal. The A La Carte menu looks fab and I'll be trying the dishes on there next time.

In Hamilton at a show and popped in here. Lovely decor inside, staff very friendly particularly with my young daughter (who has downs) and food was delicious. Couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

Absolutely first class bistro, Toni will chat to you by as he expertly prepares your meal from the open kitchen - when I say nothing is too much trouble, I mean it, he will even cook off menu for you ! Don’t expect a bells & whistle restaurant, expect wholesome well prepared & tasty Italian food from an experienced chef. Ciao Chef !!
