We were shown to our table without much wait. Our server introduced himself immediately and was initially very attentive. Our orders were taken politely and efficiently. The 2 children's meal came to the table very quickly- any parent appreciates this. The problem came up in that the rest of the table waited almost an hour for the rest of our meals. No reason pasta should ever take this long. Once delivered, the food was quite good. Not sure what the issue was with the kitchen, but it definitely took away from our enjoyment of the experience as a whole.

It did not disappoint! It's such a cute, clean little restaurant that feels wonderfully reminiscent of Boston's North End right here in New Hampshire. Our waitress, Amelia, was absolute perfection. Incredibly, she was also the one making our food! She truly made the entire experience special. Everything we ordered was amazing, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For dessert, we had to get the cannolis--they are giant, incredibly fresh, and so worth it. The portion sizes are ideal, the ambience is spot-on, and we will definitely be going back!

If you're in or around Manchester and looking for great pizza, don't sleep on Pizza by Rocco. It's…read morea little off the beaten path, but it's an absolute gem whether you're grabbing takeout or stopping in for a solid slice. I tried the chicken broccoli pizza and it was honestly unbelievable. Chicken and broccoli is usually a heavier style pizza, but somehow they kept it thin and crispy. I don't know how they pulled that off, but the crust still had a perfect crunch while holding all the toppings without getting soggy. Everything tasted fresh and the balance of flavors was spot on. Places like Sally's Apizza and Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana get a lot of the spotlight, but if Pizza by Rocco had a prime time location and more exposure, I honestly think they'd be competing in the same conversation. Manchester is lucky to have a spot like this. Definitely worth checking out. Seems like the guys that run the place are really solid people as well, will definitely be back.

The wife stated she prefers Regina's out of the north end of Boston and I agreed. The Greek salad was very good but the dressing comes in a very small container. We should've asked for at least one more for the size of the salad. The prices on the wall menu are $1-$2 dollars more so keep that in mind. Minimal street parking. Our pizza was $22. No ambiance to speak of. No ac so I felt bad for the chef back there. I waited outside as it was much cooler.

There is limited street parking though so leave time to find a spot or walk a few blocks.

It had a very calming slightly upscale atmosphere, we were seated quick and the waiter was amazing, just so attentive friendly and warm. We ordered garden salad Caesar salad w grilled chicken a couple meatballs and buffalo cauliflower w feta dip. Bread and oil came out right away. It was wonderful, sourdough, crispy on outside and warm and soft inside. The oil was delicious. The buffalo cauliflower was good however the outside could have been more crispy as I preferred but the taste was very good as was the dip. Salads were fresh and tasty. The chicken was grilled and had very good seasonings and plenty of of it. Caesar dressing and parm and croutons nice balance. The meatballs were big and delicious too. We were very hungry and dug in before I got to take pre dine pics of everything, these pics are already half eaten, so the portions are on point, but we really enjoyed it and would definitely come back again when in the area, we live 1.5 hours away. The bathroom was very clean as well, even though it was single stall which seemed odd for so many patrons. We had a great experience overall and enjoyed the food atmosphere, prices were fair and excellent service. There is also a nice good sized bar area off to the side w flat screens for sports etc.

My husband and I were instantly forgotten. One of my favorite brunch items is eggs Benedict, but because of the amount of butter in hollandaise sauce [which, if I am being honest, is the reason it is a favorite] I don't have it often. Their menu includes a benny with fried green tomatoes (!!!!) and a sriracha hollandaise. Both my mother-in-law and I ordered it. In place of the home-fried potatoes I got fresh fruit (and ended up with the potatoes anyway, and they were outstanding), and we both opted for regular hollandaise. It. Was. Incredible. It's hard enough to find legitimate fried green tomatoes anywhere north of VA to begin with - but on eggs benny? To die for. I don't even know what anyone else had at the table, all my MIL and I talked about was our food. 10-3 is brunch and I would recommend it for all their amazing items (Lox and a bagel! Tuna poke bowl!) Their dinner menu is also really, really good.

That settled it; we had to try it. Out of sheer excitement or exhaustion, we forgot to make a reservation. I quickly remembered this mistake as we entered Hooked. People filled every table and seat at the bar. I looked at my bestie with great concern because we were anticipating our first meal of the day. The hostess welcomed us warmly, and then she asked the dreadful question, "Do y'all have a reservation?" We sadly said no, and she immediately began to express regret. Maybe it was the "Grad2026" headband or the disappointment on our faces that caused her to have pity on us because she told us to wait one second. The hostess walked to the bar, then she went to the main seating area, lastly she went next door where there's additional seating. She returned with a smile and motioned for us to follow her. The hostess found us seats at the bar! We ordered, chatted with the locals, and ate a delicious meal. We even made room for dessert which we learned was made by the owner, the hostess! Whenever we visit New Hampshire again, we're definitely stopping by Hooked!

The restaurant has ample seating at the bar in the main dining room and on the patio. The pie was delicious, you can get a half and half pie with two different types which we got.

On weekends, they serve the 14-in pie only. Since the crust is thin and crispy, it's not as filling as other pizzas. Jenny was a terrific waitress for us.
