Foodie Review: RoccoVino’s Italian Restaurant

This is the second time in three years that my husband has taken me to an Italian restaurant for my birthday. My birthday experience in 2022 was at Mart Anthony’s Italian Restaurant.  This year, we’re dining at RoccoVino’s – Orland Park location. 

For a Monday evening, it was more crowded than I was expecting. We had reservations and we’re seated right away. In general, I’m not a huge fan of Italian food, but I was pleasantly surprised at the menu options, and we enjoyed all of our selections.

For our appetizer, we had the Steak Tagliata. This is a grilled filet with portobello mushrooms, spinach in a balsamic sauce.

For our entrees we enjoyed the WhiteFish Italiano and Capellini Gamberi; both were excellent choices. The WhiteFish Italiano had a lemon, garlic, oregano and white wine sauce. The Capellini Gamberi was an angel hair pasta dish with grilled shrimp, spinach and an olive oil garlic sauce.

For dessert, we tried the Banana Cake with Cream Cheese frosting.  My husband and I both grilled the waitress about how it was made. It’s funny, we both like banana flavor, but we both hate banana texture.  Well the cake didn’t have chunks of bananas and was puréed very well. All we tasted was the banana flavor, which was our goal! LOL!

I definitely wouldn’t mind coming here again, and trying other entrees on the menu as well as the pizza!
