Our party of three arrived at the restaurant late as it was an above 30 degree day and the beach and parking lot was busting with people. Drove around for about 15 minutes and finally found a spot in the paid parking lot.
Once inside we are warmly greeted by front desk staff that show us to our table, hand us our menus and deliver us some water.
The restaurant is quite noisy inside, but to be fair you can't control the noise level of customers, and there were alot of them. The decor is modern, clean, big windows so you can see the ocean and green plants scattered around to make ambience feel more alive.
The food was very well presented. The portion sizes were generous. The only negative thing I can say about the food is it came out on extremely hot plates, which the waitress did pre warn us about.
I will suggest to anyone who comes that it is a little difficult to get the attention of the servers. You really need to make eye contact to call them over. Although, there were times when even that didn't work. I ended up getting g up and walking over to their waiters counter to ask for what I wanted. Again, to be fair they were extremely busy.
Would I come here again? Would I recommend this restaurant to others? Yes!

This new venue is all about the location. They've given it a nice revamp and the interior is stylish and fresh.
Unfortunately the service, just like the Hawthorn location, needs some improvement.
Also had a huge wait time to pay, along with 5 other families all standing around while no staff were manning the register. Even though the place was almost empty and 2 girls polishing cutlery would occasionally glance over their shoulder and continue to ignore everyone?
The food is just ok. Its good but not great. For the price, I would definitely expect better. The separate vegan menu is a wonderful offering but $37 for veg and chickpeas? Seriously?
Its 100% the view. The atmosphere is OK but you are there for the view.
Also a Saturday surcharge on top of the high prices is a bit much.

We had a wonderful experience at Rococo Italian Restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed meal. The staff were professional and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our visit.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented — each dish was thoughtfully prepared with great flavors. We especially appreciated the variety and quality of the kids’ meal options, which made dining as a family even more enjoyable.
Overall, Rococo is a place we’d be happy to return to, whether for a casual meal or a special occasion. Highly recommended!

1. Beautiful location, sea view, luminous and clean space. 2. Antipasti: 10/10 really top notch, Arancini and nduja prawns were fantastic 3. Main: 5/10 for $40 I expect the risotto to be a real Italian risotto not an Australian risotto. The prawn risotto wasn't as creamy as it should have been been. The zucchini were tasteless and barley coocked, zucchini are a basic part of the soffritto in a risotto, if they are not fried they taste like nothing. 3. Dessert: 5/10 again for $20 I expect more than a timy slice of cake and a tiny ball of ice-cream. 4. Would I go back? Yes but only for antipasti, they are expensive but top quality. Risotto perhaps somewhere else.

Lovely beachfront views. Food was sensational, they have a whole vegan menu. I had the linguine Sophia and it was incredible. Our waiter was so helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend
