Roco

About Roco

Charred crust, molten mozzarella, the sharp tang of San Marzano in a room that buzzes with the 17th arrondissement after dark. Roco does pizza the way it should be done: dough with integrity, toppings that know when to stop, and a wood-fired oven that earns its keep. The cocktails and Italian wine list punch well above what you expect from a neighborhood pizza joint. The space is rustic-chic without being annoying about it, all warm tones and close tables that force strangers into half-conversations. On a good night it feels like a Roman osteria that wandered north and decided to stay. Skip the delivery apps entirely. Walk in, sit at the bar if there is no table, and order a Negroni while you wait for a spot to open up.
