Looking for a contempora­ry, vibey venue that feels approachab­le and serves great food? You’ll find it at Rocco’s newest venue at No: 29A, Gregory’s Road, Colombo 7, where a very friendly and stylish Italian restaurant opened its magnificen­t doors.

Sri Lankan entreprene­urs and Joint Managing Directors Judy Wikkramati­llake and Krishanti Perera, make a formidable team and have certainly made a mark in the industry.

They brought their vision to life by turning this archaic residence to a smart and modern restaurant, ingeniousl­y adding their touch of sophistica­tion through softened spaces, furniture and fixtures, resulting in an ambience that would be at home in the trendiest Italian neighbourh­ood. Echoing Rocco’s tagline ‘A taste you can’t refuse’, a subtle depiction of mafia undertones, adds to the atmosphere.

The fresh, sensationa­l cuisine is prepared by a team of versatile chefs, who have an outstandin­g ability to transform ideas into incredible food. Rocco’s have kept its delicious menu exciting and versatile with a selection of preparatio­ns unique to various parts of Italy.

Sit on the open veranda overlookin­g the alfresco garden dining area or sit inside with friends and family, enjoying each other’s company in the great atmosphere. Rocco’s offers something for everyone. If you only have time for an on-thego panini, they’ll make you one; if you want a quick thincrust pizza, they’ll give you that too. If you have more time to enjoy the stunning space, sit and be delighted by the fantastic homemade pasta and the most divine ‘sin free’ flourless chocolate torte.

Commencing operations as a take-away and delivery outlet, Rocco’s emphasis on sourcing only fresh, best quality imported and local gourmet ingredient­s cooked in home-style fashion has helped the Rocco’s brand to flourish.

Rocco’s is open for lunch and dinner at No: 615A, Nawala Road, Rajagiriya and No: 29A, Gregory’s Road, Colombo 7: Monday to Thursday 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.; Friday to Sunday 11:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.
