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.

stayed on New Years Day and enjoyed the warm and relaxed amibence coupled with a fantastic view if you get a window seat - puddings were totally my favourite - but all in all defintely worth a try as it can give the seafood restaurant a run for its money - a little rivalry isnt unhealthy is it!

From the moment we planned our wedding day with Adrian and Susan we were delighted with the attention to menus, champagne and wine tasting and the table settings, nothing was too much trouble. We started off with Champagne and canapes in the beautiful new R Bar followed by a fantastic lunch in the Restaurant, the food service and ambiance were... More

We dined here mid week and although a very nice room it was awfully quiet. Loved the olives that came along with the bread, very delicious. Our meals were excellent and the service was too although we were charged for a diet coke which was ordered but failed to make an appearance. Overall a very nice night but would have... More

It is not only difficult to find anything about this restaurant to dislike it leaves you with such good feelings after eating there that you want to go back and enjoy it again. The food was outstanding and the service equally as good.The standard of presentation is more than good enough in my mind for it to gain in due... More
