Rocco’s began with a simple idea: to create the kind of Italian restaurant Judy Wikkramatillake and Krishanti Perera were searching for themselves: warm, welcoming, and centred around exceptional food and genuine hospitality.

Founded in 2012, what started as a craving for authentic, flavourful pizza soon grew into something much more. Unable to find the flavours and experience they truly loved, Judy and Krishanti decided to create it themselves; a place where people could gather, slow down, and feel at home around the table.

Over the years, Rocco’s has grown from a neighbourhood pizza spot into a modern Italian restaurant, known not only for its much-loved pizzas but for a menu rooted in modern Italian cuisine, thoughtful flavours, and dishes made with care.

At the heart of it all is Judy and Krishanti’s shared approach to hospitality. Judy works closely with the kitchen, bringing her passion for flavour and creativity to every dish, while Krishanti’s love for hospitality is shaped by memories of shared meals, warmth, and bringing people together.

Today, Rocco’s proudly calls Nawala and Gregory’s Road home. While much has grown over the years, the heart of Rocco’s remains unchanged; creating a place where good food, warm hospitality, and meaningful moments come together naturally.
