At Roccaâs weâre passionate about crafting two things â top class Italian dishes, and a cosy atmosphere for our customers to enjoy. Our head chef Gianni Scioscia hails from the Campania region of Italy, and has worked in 5 star restaurants around his home

Looked good and was until the food arrived. Bright, open style decor - well presented. Staff happy, friendly and helpful. Menu not very ambitious but typical. We each ordered different wood fired pizzas ( four in total) and were all disappointed both visually and the flavour ( there wasn't much!).

Italian restaurant & pizza. Casual dining experience, family friendly & great value for money.
Reviewed By WernMachine
The food and wine here is surprisingly good. The service is excellent and the price is reasonable. We had the mussels and arancini, and shared a pizza - half of which we got to take home. They have authentic Italian wines too and they are well priced, the staff are delightful, Italians and Spanish speakers.

When we walked in for the first time I was impressed with the visual appearance. Very warm and appealing. We had Lamb shanks with gravy and mash potatoes which was very tasty. Meat fell off the bones. We also tried the chef special Lobster tail spaghetti with chilli. That was very nice and just a little spicy. I thought it could have had just a little more seasoning. Overall a pleasant experience. $75 for 2 meals, glass of wine and herbal tea.

Service was average, the food took too long to come out (1 hour!) and the pizza was the worst Iâve had. Very disappointing!

After moving into the area my partner and I tried out a pizza from here. Though the toppings were minimal the flavours were really great. I imagine this is a more closer to traditional Italian pizza and I'm just used to the American style ones.

Last here years ago because I did not agree with 'quantity over quality' segment here.we ordered the crowd favourite's cheese garlic bread and seafood platter.Food came out fast and quality seemed improved but this is based on only the 2 dishes we ordered. Sofia has been around for a couple of decades so you can take it that it's popular and there are a large enough segment of clients whom would choose quantity over quality. I hope Sofia do continue to open for many years to come as this would be the place I can afford to take my less fastidious relatives from overseas without burning too much of a hole in pocket and they would not be so discerning as I on quality of food. In short, not bad but don t expect it to be on par with the better Italian restaurants in Lygon St.

This âupmarketâ Italian restaurant is tucked away in a commercial precinct, not far from Brandon Park shopping centre.The best thing is: parking is not a problem! At least, not on the Saturday when we visited for a family birthday celebration.The white table cloths and napkins add a certain âje ne sais quoiâ to the place: as waiter extraordinarie, Nikolas, expertly rolls and folds your napkin during your absence from the table!Nikolas was so very patient with our table - especially a 90 year old mother who likes to make difficult for everyone these days!The menu is very different from ârun of the millâ Italian restaurants and is a little on the adventurous side. A case in point is the swordfish two of us ordered: it was rare in the middle. As someone who only has well done steak, hamburgers - and salmon - I was quite taken aback that it was not cooked through. Upon being informed this was how ppl like swordfish to be cooked - I said that I would have liked to have been asked how I would like it cooked. Nikolas agreed to take my comment on board. But, as a baby boomer Iâve been around a while(!) and have travelled quite a bit and have eaten at a lot of restaurants in Australia and overseas - and I have never encountered âmedium rareâ swordfish before. It also means the fish is quite âtoughâ to eat - but admittedly, this was a very thick, generous piece.Be warned: Sette Bello is no cheap Italian. Main courses cost around $38 - while steak was $46. The pasta dishes are only marginally cheaper. The sides are $9 each - but the French fries were the best Iâve tasted!Desserts are around $16 each - but I highly recommend the lemon ricotta-filled cannoli at $4.50 each. We ordered 2 between 4 ppl and had trouble finishing it although it was delicious.Coffee was great, too!The restaurant had a lovely ambience - and thatâs mainly because the wait staff are so welcome and obliging. This Saturday lunch time was very busy - with ppl coming at various times in the lunchtime period.

Enjoyed our meal was lovely, when seated we were given menus and before we could order a drink our waiter walked away. It was 15minutes before someone came back to take a drink order. The food came out fast and was lovely. Again the waiter didnât seem to want to be working, the service with a smile. The smile wasnât there, it was a very quiet night so Iâm not sure what was wrong. The dining room was nice but needed some background music all we could hear was the banging of cutlery and plates in the kitchen. Overall though because the food was nice and well priced I would come back and happy to recommend.
