Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Newtown

We were there for a Valentine’s date night and the place was decorated so nicely. The tables were very close together but it was manageable. Our waiter Steven was great. The Burrata appetizer was delicious. I had the linguine with clams and loved it. My husband had the filet and ate every last bite. It was a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this place.

Lovely attentive waitress. Excellent food. Seated promptly with reservation.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner. Our server, Carlee, was so kind and attentive I felt like we were old friends. The atmosphere is perfect for a special dinner, yet not at all stuffy or pretentious. Ideal for a romantic dinner for two or a family night out. The regular menu is loaded with options. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious. I often get a veal dish because it’s tender enough to eat with a fork and I just can’t make it like that at home. I’ve had many of the pasta dishes, and the gnocchi is my favorite. The Valentine’s Day menu had a few themed additions, such as the Amore Arancini appetizer, comprised of three flavorful, beefy rice balls that we enjoyed. Portion sizes are large enough that we packed some up to enjoy the next day. The dessert menu has many tempting offerings. I was stuffed, but I made a selection to take home. We both agreed that we need to come back more often.

I think I have moved Rocco's into a top 5 restaurant for me. The Steaks are 100% legit here, I normally get the strip and that is amazing. Got the ribeye as I saw it was the same price as the strip, which I found slightly odd as the ribeye is a better flavorful cut. The steak was cooked perfect, the crust on the steak was perfect. Prices have gone up a bit over the past 12-18 months but the steak is comparable to any legit steakhouse in the city if not better. Oysters to start were great. We will be back for sure!

Great tasting sort ribs and salmon. JEN, OUR Server was very attentive.
