Ruocco's Pizzeria E Ristorante

It has been awhile since I have been to Ruocco. So yesterday in a beautiful day, I decided to take my family there to have lunch. Food was great and the drink was refreshing, but my enjoyment ended when my son tried to get an ice cream. After our main meal, my son chose and ordered his ice cream from the ice cream counter. He told us the staff was busy cutting cake for customers. So we waited patiently. 10 minutes later after I saw a dine-in customer and 2 walk-in customers ordered and got their ice cream, I told my son to remind the waitress of his. Instead, the waitress told him to go back to his table, and she would come to take the order (but my son had chosen and ordered). Another 5 minutes had passed and no one or nothing came. At the end I called for the waitress. I complained that while he was still waiting for his ice cream and the others who ordered later got theirs! She told me they ordered before my son did his but I had witnessed my son ordered his before the others. She then defended the walk-in customers had paid for their ice cream, but we had not. Don't dine-in customers pay for their meals before leaving but we were still eating? So how could we pay for ours in advance and my son was not told about this? At the end, I just wanted my son's ice cream, so I pleaded with the waitress to get it. However, she still said she was busy and we had to wait for the order to be taken. Finally, I had enough and gave up. I told her we didn't want it anymore. Luckily I checked my bill before paying. My son's ice cream order was on the bill even though we never got it! (Remember she claimed that we had not ordered and she was too busy to take it?) Imagine if I trusted the restaurant and just paid the bill without checking after being rudely treated?

A little bit Out of Freo , However Most Definitely Worth the Trip 🍽🍷🍻🍲🥖🌶🍄🧄🧅🥚🍤🦀🦐🦑

We went for Mother’s Day dinner and the food was incredible as usual. Most of our table ordered the garlic prawns which were immaculate!

My family and I have been eating at Ruocco’s for 15 years. Have just finished another superb lunch. This is the best food and service in Perth. Thanks to the chefs thank you very much!

Really great pizzas, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the pizza and desserts. Some of the main dishes are a bit old school and not so inspiring. Menu could do with an update.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here tonight and found both the food and service to be amazing 🤩 thank you for a truly special dining experience.

A few people have recommended Ruocco’s and it was good to finally try it out, not just once but twice over two weekends! The First weekend we went with my family and the second for a birthday, on both occasions the restaurant was fully with a line out the door. The atmosphere inside is understandably loud, considering the number of people. The restaurant is cozy and has a Tuscan vibe inside. They have lots of room both inside and out and cater well for large groups. Service was very good with a wait staff attending promptly taking orders. The menu options while traditional are creative, with a slight twist and have options accommodate most peoples tastes. Choices are clearly labeled and described, taking note to those with food allergies and/or preferences. With all the food ordered, on both occasions, there wasn’t a disappointing dish that anyone complained about. Meal size’s were well portioned, so no one was left feeling hungry after finishing their meal. Food my wife, kids and I had all tasted great. Stand-out dish for me were the house made ravioli, Petto di pollo fracito and osso buco. I highly recommend Ruocco’s! A great place for any occasion, whether with a group of friends and/or family or dinner for 2.

Amazing food, cooked to a high standard. Good atmosphere too

Veal schnitzel was very good, although portion size was a little smaller than I would have expected for the price.

I recently moved back to Perth and use to love coming here.. shocked how poor the service was tonight, half of one of the mains we hadn’t even finished and the rude waiter just packed our plates on top of one another and took it away without even asking if we had finished. Then the girl at the register was rude too and the food was average sorry guys but you need to lift your standards to how this place use to be.
