We tried Roko twice as walk-ins and were simply unable to get seated. We were successful with reservations on a Wine Wednesday, which meant some selections are $5 a glass. The pinot on special was surprisingly good. Throughout the evening it was apparent that Roko hasn't decided quite what it wants to be - upscale Italian bistro, Wilmington's Cheers, or... More

My girlfriend took me here last month for my birthday. We were both surprised at how good our food actually was. Service was quite nice as well. Location is in the Mayfaire Town Center so it is a handy location. I had the filet and I highly recommend it. Like many strip plaza restaurants the noise level can be a... More

We happened to be staying around the corner and thought we would give it a try for cocktails and early dinner. We arrived at about 6:45 and there were people waiting to be seated, luckily there were 2 seats at the bar. It is obviously a popular local spot. Very nice menue, good prices and good cocktails. Liked it so... More

Very good food - Clams Oreganto are great as is the veal. Service can be so-so ; sometimes very good, sometimes not, but the quality of the food outweighs the service inconsistency.

The waiter was odd. The owner was even more odd. The experience was off-putting and without remorse when faced with an extremely dirty glass. Lipstick stained. When confronted, a new glass was brought that had the same wine poured into it from the dirty glass.

As with all great things, there is a down side: You're going to need a reservation. You can walk in and try, but this place is BUSY! And it's busy because it's really, REALLY good. Service, atmosphere, everything: Excellent!. I've been three times and the hostess already recognizes me. It's that personal service / attention to detail that take a... More

Very good food but not particularly Italian. Most of the sauces, which are very. good. Every dish we had was excellent and we will definitely go back on our spring and fall visits to the area. one local residents told us that the customer base is from the gold club across the road and in some cases this seems to...

Our first visit was on Friday evening. We did not have reservations but managed to get a table anyway. Our wonderful hostess made us feel like we were old friends! The food was absolutely amazing, from the appetizer to the wine, entree and dessert. The waiter was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. I cannot wait to visit again, but... More

We were fortunate to book an 8:30pm reservation and were politely greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress, Judy, was friendly and knowledgable. Since it was our first visit, we had a couple of questions which she answered. The warm bread was served with oil, balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic pieces. It was a good indication of the good tasting food... More
