Rocca – Italian

Welcome to Rocca, a Michelin Starred Italian restaurant in the vibrant neighborhood of Tampa Heights. Our story begins with Chef and Owner, Bryce Bonsack, and his time spent living abroad in Monforte d’Alba, Italy.  It lives on through handmade pastas, mozzarella pulled table side and memories made with you.

Our menu is deeply rooted in the classic Italian dining experience, underlining the undeniable connection between food and the people around the table. Chef Bryce honors traditional recipes learned in Italy, while infusing modern techniques honed working in cutting edge kitchens in New York. The coming together of the two results in flavors that are rustic, yet refined, simple, yet beautiful and approachable by nature.

An innovative crudo and freshly baked bread amongst other seasonal shareable plates are the perfect place to start. Rocca’s extensive Italian wine list and innovative cocktail program are an invitation to further immerse yourself in the experience. Fresh pastas, an expertly dry aged duck or a dry aged wagyu serve as an ending to remember.

Inspired by the old and the new, Rocca instills a sense of nostalgia and curiosity in every guest.
