The Caesar salad is to die for ... But when they ask if you like garlic, it's okay to say "in moderation!"

Chefs craft authentic Southern Italian recipes using local meats & perform tableside cooking acrobatics with rotating entrees & dessert

Rocco’s Ristorante Italiano serves gourmet Southern Italian cuisine with a touch of local flair and a caress of European influence in an elegantly draped, rustic dining space. Original owner Rocco Scarola emigrated from Italy to open his house of penne and prosciutto after learning that most caribou had never tasted alfredo sauce. The marinara-doused menu boasts pastas such as the linguine alla pescatore, a venerable medley of shrimp, scallops, and calamari ($21). The veal or beef fillet ($32) distracts steak knives from bullying defenseless soup spoons, and the chicken cordon bleu dons a garland of black-forest ham and swiss cheese ($18).

The tableside-prepared dinner grants a culinary show bested only by the now-banned practice of spiky-fish juggling, as talented chefs festoon tables with two of four entrees custom crafted to suit each diner’s palate. The chef sautés locally made italian sausage with bacon and spaghetti to build the signature sausage carbonera and tosses cherry tomatoes with garlic and spaghetti for the spaghetti fresco. Those who opt for the dessert experience can gasp emphatically as chefs set bananas, rum, brown sugar, and ice cream aflame. The dessert dish pairs with two mugs of specialty coffee also flambéed tableside and crafted with bold flavours such as cognac, Grand Marnier, espresso, and the puréed dress shirts of stand-up comics.
