An innovative crudo and freshly baked bread amongst other seasonal shareable plates are the perfect place to start. Rocca’s extensive Italian wine list and innovative cocktail program are an invitation to further immerse yourself in the experience. Fresh pastas, an expertly dry aged duck or a dry aged wagyu serve as an ending to remember.Inspired by the old and the new, Rocca instills a sense of nostalgia and curiosity in every guest.

    Fabulous birthday dinner, food and service were excellent! I had the pompano and my husband had the tuna both entrees where exceptional. Had to finish the meal with the bourbon cake and ice cream, walk out feeling satisfied and would highly recommend going to Ulele for a Birthday celebration.
