Looking for a contemporary, vibey venue that feels approachable and serves great food? You’ll find it at Rocco’s newest venue at 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 their 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-the-go panini, they’ll make you one; if you want a quick thin-crust 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 615A, Nawala Rd, Rajagiriya and 29A, Gregory’s Rd, Colombo 7, Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. and Friday to Sunday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Home delivery radius covers Colombo 1 to 10 and selected suburbs.
