I dined at 9pm- I visit Rococco without fail everytime I’m in Melbourne. It’s a vibe. The food was so delicious, every single bite and spoonful from the Carbonara Arancini through the Margherita pizza to the decadent Tiramisu. And the best mixed cosmo I’ve ever had and I’ve enjoyed them all around the world. Got the recipe! I felt relaxed and so comfortable. Lovely and attendant wait staff. Perfect.

Great place to catch up with friends and family. Nice food and fun activities. Great practice for golfers and even more fun for people who just want to experience golf on a not so serious level. Would definitely be back and experience it again.
