Big Rock Italian Chophouse

Marco was fantastic! his service really elevated the whole experience. The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was spot on. They’ve got an impressive menu with plenty of gluten-free options, which is always a plus. The Crab in the Jar was a standout, and the Chicken Parmesan was perfect. We finished with the Stracciatella Cheesecake, which was absolutely to die for smooth, creamy, and with just the right balance of chocolate. Plus, the proceeds go to a breast cancer foundation, which made it feel even more meaningful.

They have a wide variety of gluten-free dishes clearly marked on the menu. What we ordered was quite delicious. I only noticed one dish that was labeled as gluten free when it clearly wasn’t. However, the chef was very knowledgeable about the subject. My only complaint is that it took them 1 hour to serve us a salad to share and 1 hour and 15 minutes to serve the pasta. Considering it was a Monday, I don’t want to imagine how the service would be on a weekend. It’s quite an expensive place, more for special occasions.

We were really impressed. The service was amazing, from the accommodating hostess (Mila?) to our server (Jodie) to the managers (Steve and Tiffany?) stopping by multiple times to kindly check on us. The atmosphere was super lively and each room was designed completely different from the rest which was a pleasant surprise while walking through. The apps and drinks were great - specifically tried the loaded focaccia and whipped ricotta. The chicken parm and vodka pasta were good but would have been better if they used a bit more sauce / less salt. Was surprised by the variety of gluten free options too. Dessert tartufo was amazing and unlike anything I have ever tried — basically layers of gelato and chocolate cake. Can’t wait to go back and try more.
