Rocky's Italian Bistro 812 South Central Avenue, Paris, IL 61944

"It always surprises me that this little gem is not widely known about. We always like to try something new and we were delighted with our choices. The spanakopita was a great appetizer choice, flaky, flavorful, and the garlic pesto dip was even delicious on the breadsticks. The Sorrentino with a side of fettuccine noodles was soooo good! However, the show stopper was the tiramisu. If you haven't been yet, go!"

"Stayed in the area last year for the Covered Bridge Festival and stopped in here for late dinner. The food was great, but after watching someone bring out Rocky’ Creation we knew we had to come back and try it. Back this year and it did not disappoint. Fed 3 adults with leftovers and everything was amazing. The drinks are extremely reasonably priced and delicious. Highly recommend."

"Really grateful for the wonderful meal at this amazing restaurant. Truly a hidden gem in this little town. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Very nice atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant!"

"We enjoyed a lunch meal at Rocky’s Italian Bistro in Paris Illinois while visiting my parents. They have done a very nice job of turning a local long running restaurant spot into its newest iteration. The spot includes indoor or outdoor seating. We had the bourbon beef stir fry special, the veal parmigiana which I recommend subbing for the vodka sauce, the BLT and chicken pesto panini. The make their Cesar dressing in house and it was very good. We ended the meal by sharing a piece of red velvet cake and it was very good. Kind and efficient service."

"Don’t let the outside of this place fool you. It is in an old drive-in building, but there is a dinning room on the inside and it is nicely decorated. I stopped here for dinner at 5 pm on a Monday and there were only a couple of other tables taken. My very friendly server came right over and took my drink order. I was happy because they have Coke products. When she returned with my drink and complimentary bread sticks, I ordered the Baked Mostaccioli along with a dinner salad. She returned right away with my dinner salad. It was a salad made from Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, croutons, and some cheese. It was fresh and tasty. Shortly after I was finished with my salad, she returned with my meal and it was hot, you could tell it just came out of the oven. The sauce was a little chunky and sweet. It was not too sweet, but it was on the sweet side of pasta sauces. The cheese was good, it just could have used more. I thought this a good meal for the money, and I would stop again if I were ever in the area. Overall a good experience."
