What goes better on a warm NYC night then sitting back with good company in SoHo in a nicely done bakery shop. Welcome to Rocco's, where if it is a baked good made from sugar it will most likely be found there. There isn't much seating in here, so hope to come at an off time. Also, glance quickly at the menu or your server may give you the cold shoulder. On this night things seemed to go well, except for how long we had to wait for our check. So on to the food; starting off with a piping hot (and small) cup of espresso. This small wonder could keep an entire office of people going and wake the dead! Now that is a serious cup of joe. With being in NYC, how could you not try a piece of authentic NY cheesecake? Pictured second, it was nice and thick like a good cheesecake should be. Topped with fresh ripe strawberries in a sugar glaze, just sheer perfection. I then choose another staple of the Big Apple, the cannolo (pictured last). A simple and delicious treat made from a fried pastry stuffed with a cream cheese and sugar mix, finished off at each end with chocolate chips and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Now how could you argue with a list like that? Everything about this pastry was just like it should be and was one of the better cannolis I have ever had. None the less I was quite full from my experience and granted Rocco's with an 8 only due to the wait from the check after it was clear that we were through
