    Amazing experience at Rococo Point Cook!! We went for our valentines dinner and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible. We ordered flatbread and dips and the bread was hot when served, it was amazing. We also ordered calamari (which was cooked perfectly) and a pasta which was so yummy!! The service was great even though it was packed, and the staff didn’t stop the whole time we were there! Love coming here!

    Had dinner here with my family. Appetizers were good but maybe a bit small for the price. Main food was all good and came out hot! The place is cosy inside and the staff were very pleasant. Overall very good.

    I loved it when it opened in the mid 1990's and I still love it now nearly 30 years later. Little seems to have changed at Il Solito Posto, which is a blessing - great food, great wine, top service and a great vibe. And the signature pasta dish"farfalle al salmone" is still on the menu. Magnificent!
