  Ordered 2 large Pizzas and Large Fry on Sunday 2/19/2017. Banner at neighboring Dunkin Donuts offers 20% off food, Sunday-Thursday, no restrictions mentioned on the banner, see my photo. Went in with my Dunkin Donuts receipt (in the same parking lot owned by the same owner) to get my 20% off and they refused to honor it claiming the pizzas were already discounted.? What? When I asked to speak to owner this guy came out and threw $2 at me (nice try, 20% off my order is $5). I did not take the money. I asked if he was going to honor the deal the next time I came in and he kept telling me to take my $2 and get out. Poor customer service, false advertising, don't do business here. It is unfortunate, been in business since 1940 but new owners took it over a few years back and food and service has gone down hill.
  oh yeah, my pizza was overcooked, dry with not too much cheese and cold.

  This restaurant is simply amazing ! Food is outstanding, service is exceptional, and it is easily the best restaurant in Wilmington by far. It's the perfect place for a casual date night, or a get together with family! I have noticed that Rocco's has changed ownership and I must say that they have done a tremendous job!! Check out Thursday's night with live music. Definitely will be back.

  This is almost literally the only place to eat Americanized-Italian food in town. A throwback to earlier days of sparsely populated Wilmington that has only recently had an interior makeover to cover the grease stains on the ceilings and peeling wallpaper. The exterior is as it has always been. People in town don't like change.
  
  The food? Pretty much the same as it has always been - mediocre (except for the pizza). I grew up in town, left early, then returned to raise kids. Rocco's was the same when I came back as when I left, except the expansive menu has gotten more expensive. Much more expensive. Average entree prices in the mid to upper $20s? When I was growing up in town we stayed away from Rocco's because the food was crappy (except for the pizza). We've been visiting lately for pizza with the kids and thankfully that has held up - I will easily say the best in town, but on the rare occasion we try something else we remember why we usually don't.
  
  Locals will understand this reference: Rocco's is the Kitty's of Wilmington.
  
  The bar is always full of locals. The bartenders deliver a heavy handed free pour so if too large and too strong drinks are your thing, have a couple here, watch the game and share a pizza.

  Great food and a friendly staff, but there is room for improvement. I've been a long time customer, and I like a lot of the changes the new owner has made. They have several different bartenders, and most are very good; however, I'd like to see them back up the bartenders a little more, when busy. Some of the bar staff get tunnel vision. I bring a lot of business contacts there, and waiting for attention is sometimes embarrassing.
