Description: Overlooking the Old Course in the world famous golfing town of St. Andrews, the award winning The Rocca Bar and Grill provides Italian food with a Scottish flavour. Using the best ingredients the area has to offer, sourced from the most reliable and best producers, The Rocca kitchen has reworked classic grill style dining to bring it in line with a modern taste for fresh, contemporary and imaginative flavours for a gourmet twist on favourite dishes. From homemade pastas to hearty but elegant steaks, inventive and flavourful game and fish dishes to indulgently more-ish desserts, The Rocca Bar and Grill menu offers a dish to suit every taste, earning not only a local reputation for some of the most exciting food in town but the title of 2010���s Rising Star Restaurant in the Scottish Hotel and Restaurant Awards. Stunningly glamorous but equally laid back, The Rocca Bar and Grill is decorated in sophisticated tones and furnished with a touch of feminine flair, giving it a cocktail bar feel which more than adequately lives up to the elegant wine list.

I had dinner last night at Rocca, and it was amazing. A beautiful restaurant with a great view, my friend and I both had three courses, and couldn't fault it. Everything was perfectly presented, and delicious. Attentive staff, and the house wine was wonderful. We paid £100 with tip for two people, including wine and three courses, which was well... More

Upon entering Rocca Grill you are immediately greeted by the great view of the 18th hole. Then the service that follows is wonderfully elegant and attentive without being intrusive. The food served with a smile is gorgeous! Every dish from start to finish had clearly been made with passion and skill. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Rocca and... More

This is the restaurant of the Rusacks Hotel. It has a great view of the 18th hole of the Old Course + beach. The atmosphere is nice with high ceilings. The dinner service was very attentive and informed (less so in the morning for breakfast). The food was excellent. One of the highlight meals of the week-long trip More

Some of our family (a party of 5 people) had dinner at the Rocca grill on 25th February 2012. The welcome was warm and inviting, the menu was excellent and the standard of the cooking and presentation of the food was out of this world. A great selection of wines and beverages were available and the service from the staff... More

Each mouthful was a delight of interesting and varied flavours, culminating in the delicious desserts which were to die for. The service was... More

Went to the restaurant with my fiance, mother and in-laws-to-be. This was the first time we had met my fiance's family so it was very important that the evening was a success. We were greeted by the restaurant owner who was very friendly and warm in his welcome. This set a precedent for the evening. The waiting staff were extremely... More
