Rocco’s
Oakville, Restaurants in Oakville March 14th, 2008
I can’t think of a better value for money Italian restaurant in Oakville. The portions are huge. It is literally a chore to try and finish their out-of-this-world lobster spaghetti. At around $25 dollars for it, it’s well worth the price. The spaghetti comes with 4 lobster tails. It is very delicious to say the least. I was there a few months back and they totally met my expectations once again. They have plenty of other dishes on the menu including, grilled calamari, tomato and basil salad, stuffed Cornish hen with mushroom risotto and grilled vegetables, seafood linguine, clams and shrimp in a marinara, surf and turf, sea bass and so on.
The decor is splendid as well. There are two levels with an upper and lower dining room. There is a bar located in the lower dining room. A beautiful staircase leads from one floor to the other. The stair case has a nice wooden carved railing, I might add. The upstairs color scheme is unique. The walls are painted yellow and green-blue. The tables have chairs and wall sofas. The wall sofas are a tomato red.
The service is good. Not outstanding, but good. The wait staff are attentive and polite.
The Oakville Rocco’s is located downtown Oakville on Trafalgar st. It is almost on the corner of Trafalgar and Lakeshore. You can see it on a map here. There is plenty of parking scattered around downtown Oakville and probably the best spots are on Lakeshore Rd. For more reviews on Rocco’s please check out Restaurantica.

Yum…I too love Rocco’s…I haven’t been there in a while…but I think my favorite is the stuffed chicken breast on the mushroom risotto…the portion sizes are huge…I can usually share with a friend and then we can have an appetizers, entree and one of their yummy desserts…!!! Although I do have to admit that one thing I like to do, especially in the summer…is to wonder over to Circus Chocolate for a home-made ice cream cone…hopefully they will be open late this summer…their ice-cream is second to none..!!!

Gus, you mentioned that you had gotten a new job. Your new employer isn’t Rocco’s, is it? I used to work at Trattoria Il Timone while I was at OT. Man, was that ever a great job. Our good buddy Dave Mason will tell you that I used to eat the leftovers off the customers’ plates, but I have no such recollection.
When are you going to write about OT?

@Philip - My new employer isn’t Rocco’s, although it would be a great place to work as the tips are probably good.
Trattoria Il Timone is no longer Trattoria Il Timone. Over Christmas, when I was last home, I noticed a new restaurant where Trattoria used to be.
There is a big OT reunion this year. I am thinking about attending and maybe I’ll see your high school sweetheart there:). I’ll write about OT then.

Sounds like a great place. I’d love to try that upstairs area if I ever am in that area of the world.
