We feel so lucky to have found Rocca Ristorante on Open Table (shout out to those who gave it great reviews, which led us to choose it when we found ourselves looking for a restaurant in the South Bay). We had an absolutely fabulous dinner! The menu is mostly Italian but with a few Asian items as well. We started with the crab and shrimp spring rolls and for entrees tried the veal Marsala and teriyaki steak. For dessert, we tried a delicious blackberry Cabernet sorbet and biscotti. Everything was delicious. Service was great, the atmosphere was charming and parking was easy. Definitely worth the drive from San Francisco.
