From casual bites to sit-down spots, I focus on what really matters: the dishes I tried, the vibe inside, and whether the place is worth a return trip.
I review restaurants based on real visits—looking at flavor, portion sizes, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, wait times, and overall value for what I paid.

I stopped by Rocco's Brick Oven Pizzeria for a quick lunch takeout, ordering two slices — one for myself and one for my mother. The shop was clean and the service was friendly, and the free parking lot made pickup easy.
We tried the slices while sitting in the car, but neither of us enjoyed the taste. The flavor just didn't land for either of us, and neither slice was finished. We planned to take them home to try again later, but we never went back to them.
Although the food wasn't a fit for us, the service and atmosphere were solid, and I wouldn't discourage others from giving it a try since pizza preferences vary. Based on our experience, though, it's not a place we'll be returning to.
