OC Kitchen-Bar

Came here for dinner last night for the first time, and I have to say I was impressed! Their chef is from Italy, and you can tell with the authenticity of the food. The bolognese was perfect, and I really enjoyed the thick layer of mozzarella on the “Italy” Neapolitan style pizza. We chose the trio di formaggi for our appetizer, and all of the cheeses were so tasty. I thought the blueberries and pears were a great pairing. My boyfriend loved his cocktail, and we ended the night with some great cannoli. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing food and service! Chef even came to our table a few times to check on our dishes which was a huge plus. The goat cheese asparagus risotto was out of this world. Will definitely be back!

Since moving to the area, the OC has quickly become a regular spot to go and sit at the bar and have a very relaxed evening with great food and drink. Last night was no different - pictured is the very delicious lamb chop special that was offered with a choice of two sides (garlic mashed potatoes and sprouts). After starting with a bourbon-based cocktail, the bartender was quite knowledgeable in finding a nice red wine (a Chianti) to pair with it. And if you have a sweet tooth, their dessert offerings are quite tasty - including the lemon cake!

This place is a great secret! Charming spaces; dining room, bar, outside terrasse, and semi-outside enclosed terrasse. Fantastic homemade food that shows true effort on the part of a dedicated kitchen team. Service was delightful from a group that felt like family very quickly.

As a party of four, we enjoyed every single minute and moment. The food was very good and we recommend this place to anyone looking for a different atmosphere, and it's not that too pricey.

Had a perfect experience here on the eve of Thanksgiving. Delicious gnocchi and cocktail in a peaceful and friendly environment. Will definitely be back!

Pleasantly surprised. Great food, drink, and atmosphere and even better live music. Felt like I was invited to something exclusive as the seating is sort of intimate, but the volume level/amount of people was balanced as perfectly as my meal was.

We went for the first time, love this restaurant, great food and nice wait staff. We will be back.

As an Italian myself, I am a picky Italian critic… the food here is excellent! The pasta is homemade and cooked perfectly. The sauce is delicious! The pork cheek is so delicious The chef Luca is so very kind and personally comes out to ensure you are happy. Highly recommend the food here! Staff very kind.

Every time I drive by, this place always catches my eye so I finally decided to take a chance on it. I'm a sucker for some good Italian cuisine, but this definitely surpassed my expectations. Everything from the apps to even the drinks were of great quality, but the seafood risotto really stole the show! Considering the small staff, the service was quite good and even the chef (great guy by the way) would come out occasionally to check on people. A great experience and I look forward to returning!

If you are looking for a true diamond in Rocky Hill. You just found it. They have everything you want as an adult. Amazing food. Amazingly chill atmosphere. Very cool decor. Great prices. Worth it any day of the week ! !

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food this is the place to go. Great food and the servers/bartenders were fantastic. The food was phenomenal and if I could give this 6 stars I would. Couldn’t recommend a better place for real Italian food and drinks.

Been a long time customer at their downtown Hartford location for lunch, and the food is always delicious and well done. My first experience at their sit down restaurant in Rocky Hill was yesterday, and the seafood pasta, and appetizer sampler were phenomenal and it was a perfect place to take my girlfriend out to dinner.

Luca is an amazing chef and his creations are spectacular. Would highly recommend this restaurant and their lunch options in Hartford to anyone looking for quality Italian food.

You must visit

Food was excellent, service was excellent, this was our second time here. Both experiences were the same. I don’t understand why more people aren’t here. The place was empty. Great atmosphere, people need to come check this place out. It’s a short drive from west Rocky Hill, come on people!

It was a mere coincidence that we found this amazing Italian restobar. We were overjoyed with the amazingly tasty authentic Italian Gnocchi, pizza and freshly made tiramisu. The service was excellent and the outdoor seating ambience was wonderful. The place is very clean. We visited this place on a Friday evening and they had live music performance. Not sure if it happens everyday or every weekend

Service was great. Our waiter was attentive and professional. The food was great as well. I have the braised pork cheek and was very impressed with how tender the entree was.

Great little restaurant ,the food is amazing with lots of flavor along with an awesome staff .

After driving by OC Kitchen many times, my wife and I finally stopped in for dinner. The food and service were both great! We'll be back.

This place is incredibly good. Wide liquor selection, the appetizers are incredible, and the main courses are great. Try the pork cheek, great.
