Should have known when we walked in the door... no one was there, we were the only customers. I had eggplant parm, sandwich which was very thinly cut eggplant, that was over breaded, then placed into some strange hunk of bread. The sauce was tasteless. My husband had pasta with marinara sauce, that was tasteless and barely warm. I would... More

We tried Larocca for the first time this evening. I gave all average ratings except the service which I gave a better than average. I must say if your menu states a house special pasta dish, it should deliver what it claims to be. Not this one. Very bland and absolutely no hint of gorganzola flavor at all. However, my... More

When you drive past it looks like a hole in the wall and very typical Italian restaurant. But looks are deceiving. Almost 2 years ago i stayed in North Port for 6 months and found this place.

The bruschetta is tasty and the garlic knots are fragrant and warm when they arrive at the table. The "lava" dipping oil is addictive and we have to... More

We have a vacation home in North Port and visited this place 3 times on the last trip, alone,... More

This fine little restaurant may be bit out of town (across Hwy 41 from Warm Mineral Springs in Northport) but the drive is WELL worth it! The broad menu of wonderful items, well prepared and beatifully presented, will satisfy any palette. From their opening salvo of Hot Bread and Lava Sauce (YUM!) through the Appetizers (Bruschetta, Mussels, Fried Calamari...all GREAT!),... More
