Rocco's Little Italy - Huntington, WV

Rocco's is a tiny hole in the wall restaraunt that makes unbelievably good food. My wife and I stopped in last night for a bite and were very impressed with the quality of the food.

When we first walked in we were surprised at how small and aged the place looked. This apparently affected one couple that came in after us to the point that after being seated and looking around in disgust they left. Rocco's isn't dirty. In fact it is very clean. It's just old. So people shouldn't let that make them miss out on the excellent food and friendly service.

Rocco's has a nice variety of hogies and pastas. The hogies are humongous. I had the "Sleeps With the Fishes" and it was 9 inches long and probably 4 inches tall. The bun was warm and airy and crisp and very satisfying. The haddock was delicate and appropriately flaky and the batter was perfect. The tartar sauce was sweet but not too sweet and it was covered in fresh veggies. The french fries were very, very good and crispy. This was easily the best fish sandwich/hoagie I have ever had and I have ate at a few nationally known restaraunts that didn't make a sandwich as good.

My wife had the lasagna with meat sauce that comes with a garlic bread roll. The roll was airy and seasoned perfectly and ranked as one of the best peices of garlic bread I have had the pleasure of tasting. The lasagna was very good, if a little on the greasy side. It was sizzling hot fresh out of the oven and was seasoned well. The cheese was delicious and the meat sauces was also very good. They also serve Yeungling Premium Lager which is one of the better American beers. For our tasteless readers they serve Bud Light and Budweiser.

Rocco's was a great dining experience and I plan to eat there again in the near future. Please don't let the outward appearance fool you. Rocco's has a great atmosphere and is very clean and serves great food.
