    Cesar Salad
    Gina R.

    Got there at 12:20 pm. Had a reservation but soon realized we didn't need one. There were 3 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. We waited 5 minutes before a server approached us. She was very friendly and offered us drinks. 10 minutes later, she came back and took our order for appetizer as we looked over the menu. About 10 minutes later, she comes back to get our food order. Now we are 30 minutes in. We ordered the pull apart mozzarella, which was very very good. We ordered a chicken Caesar salad and the brisket lasagna. Note on my photo there is no chicken because someone forgot to put it on there. I wanted to come solely for the chicken Cesar salad because I saw a picture on their website and it looked delicious. I was very disappointed because the salad dressing had no flavor and the salad was dry (not enough dressing) and the lettuce was brown! All of this for $15! The brisket lasagna was the worst. The brisket was so dry, it was hard chunks. The ricotta was not spread evenly, and the lasagna was drowning in a flavorless sauce. Well to be fair all it tasted like was tomato. This whole experience took us over an hour for lunch in a dead restaurant. I won't recommend or be going back. For these 3 items it was $55 and again, we had water. I really hoped for a better experience and was just let down. Do better.

    Fig and prosciutto pizza, hold the arugula - personal preference :)  So good!

    Super surprised to see less than 5-stars here, I think this place is excellent. Food was outstanding, service was exceptional - exactly what I'd expect to see from a Jason Dady restaurant. Hubby, from Boston who loves Italian, said his dinner was the best bolognese he's had in Texas. Wish I'd gotten a pic. The food is clean and not overwhelming, although we still left with to-go boxes. Reasonably priced menu options plus a few top tier, more pricey options. I had the pizza ($21) - the crust was so thin and light, all of it so flavorful. Can't wait to come back soon. Cheers!

    As those of you who read my reviews often know, I am in charge of picking the venues for my retirement group's monthly luncheons. This year, I wanted something new and special for our holiday luncheon in December. I went online and asked Perplexity for a list of restaurants that would meet our needs. This was one of them. The restaurant is in an area called the Rock. It is fairly new, and we found it a little hard to find. When we did find it, we weren't sure how to get to the front door. Unfortunately, we had driven right past all the handicap parking, which would've made it about a 50 foot walk to the door for my friend. Instead, we ended up walking all the way around the building to find the entrance. The restaurant was very nicely laid out and decorated. It had a wide open feeling in the dining room. We were given two large tables towards the back that were almost private. The menu was not what most of us would expect to find on a traditional Italian restaurant menu. However, we all managed to find something that we enjoyed. As every meal was placed on the table, I wished I had ordered it instead. Then they finally brought mine, and it was very good. For me, the highlights were the selection of mocktails. They had several of them, and they were all much more creative than usual. I tried two of them and they were great. Another thing I have to sing praises about are those wonderful deviled eggs! They were insanely delicious and so well prepared. We actually asked if we could get the recipe. The chef came to our table, and, although he shared some of the ingredients, he wasn't overly willing to just just out and out tell us how to make them. Our server was a young man named Ian. He was simply amazing. Y'all know how I feel about good servers. No matter how good the meal is, I won't be back if I don't get good service. Ian knew his menu, he answered way too many questions that we old folks always ask, and he was very friendly the whole time. Now that we know where the front door is, I feel like we will be eating here more often. Everything about it was an enjoyable experience for our group of retired teachers.

    Sit outside when the weather is asking for it! It is loud so be prepared. The food was decent, though pricey. I got the pizza and it was alright. The dough wasn't entirely baked thru. Brisket lasagna tasted great but the portion was ridiculously small. Mother loved her dish, which I forgot the name. Otherwise this place is great for drinks and sitting outside!

    Salmon fillet
    Jasmine C.

    We went here during restaurant week and I ordered the smoked brisket Lasagna and the flavor was AMAZING . We also ordered the salmon which was also really good! For dessert we had the Nutella torte. Overall this was a really nice restaurant. Our waitress was really nice and helped us decide what to order.

    Tara R.

    They knocked it out of the park with the menu & the execution. Very versatile options while still remaining a familiar feel. The ambiance is awesome as well, there's indoor & outdoor seating with two levels. Outside there are two patios with both overlooking the rock at La Cantera (an impressive installation for the community with a HUGE screen for showing sports/movies, a splash pad, basketball, & more). Our server was Cassie & even though we came in late, she still welcomed us warmly. Everything came out absolutely amazing. We had an apple & goat cheese salad, arancini, brisket lasagna, grueyere & potato ravioli, & the sweet tea brined pork loin. Sheesh! Everything was amazing flavor bomb. We'll be back to try another tour of the menu soon!

    Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes
    Walt N.

    Had reservations on a Saturday night for a group of eight. By chance, all of us ordered something different. It was frustrating because some of the portions almost looked like kid menu size while others were MASSIVE in size. All of us enjoyed our meal. Our server was amazing and did a great job of taking care of the large group...

    Campanella, à la Bolognese.
    James P.

    Wifey and I have been here twice, both times with groups. First time we sat outside, the second time at the upstairs room. My best description for this place is truly hit and miss. Not much in between. The service is a mess. It is slow and inconsistent. The bartenders don't know the menu or the drinks. I had the Bolognese pasta, which was excellent. My daughter had fried chicken which was out with a great crispy crust and super tender meat inside. Her daughter had chicken tenders, which were out of this world. Everything else was subpar and disappointing. My wife had a. Caesar salad with grilled chicken on top. The chicken was dry and tasteless. The drinks are OK, but not great. I can't say we wouldn't return, but we know to expect average.

    Burrata Di Búfala
    Marla G.

    Roca & Martillo was a great experience I was able to stop by for a quick appetizer and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered the Burrata Di Búfala, great combination of flavors. It was the perfect temp came with fresh strawberry's Prosciutto di Parma, Fennel-Pink Peppercorn Jam, Basil & Tigelle Italian Streetbread. The street bread was my favorite part but everything mixed into one bite really brought the meal together. The service was also very attentive and the atmosphere was a nice relaxing spot to chat and grab drinks. Hope to visit again soon for the full experience!

    Renee J.

    Wow! Roca and Martillo has it all! The food, Italian cuisine, is absolutely amazing. Their dishes are made with fresh ingredients and are as flavorful as they are beautiful in their presentation. I've visited several times and I like that they take reservations but also have plenty of seating indoors and out. The service is always great regardless of how busy they are. The dining area is beautiful and there is even a roof top bar!!! This place is a wonderful compliment to The Rock area.

    The margarita is small but lethal.
    Lucille T.

    I met a friend here for one of my birthday lunches and it was a great experience. The waiter was attentive and patient since I had never been here before and had lots of questions. I had the Signature Bolognese and it was very good. The bread was not complimentary but worth every penny. The frozen margarita is small but lethal. The restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance was off the charts. Our waiter could not have been more nice and the food arrived in just the amount of time it was promised. My friend and I both had a really great time hanging out here.

    Old fashioned & Margarita on the Roca
    Nancy G.

    I used the reservation button on their website for our anniversary lunch; easy to do and happy to say they had us down. That said service was great! We had Ethan seat and take care of us. He was attentive, informative and friendly. We ordered 2 appetizers: marinated steak bites and Tuscan risotto arancini. They were cooked perfectly and flavorful. I ordered the fried chicken (rarely do I order this at fast food restaurants) but went off the recommendation of our waiter. It's was soooooo good! The chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The portion size was a lot more than expected too. My husband ordered my go to, salmon. It was cooked nicely and seasoned well. As we went early afternoon on a Monday, there wasn't too many people; which made for a lovely personal experience. Most places include bread service with your meal, here they charge/. We decided to try it and ordered bread service for 1. Very disappointed! It was one slice of bread, no dipping sauce as the bread came with sea salt, oil and Parmesan on it. Other than this (we learned not to pay for something most pleases offer for free), the experience and food was great. We'll try their dinner menu next time.

    Pomodoro rigatoni
    Steve G.

    Jason Dady has done it right! Relaxed and open, we sat outside to enjoy an afternoon with drinks and food. Service was the best. Started with some drinks, then a wonderful green salad that had green apples, candied pecans, , mixed greens and goat cheese. A delicious salad. Then pasta meals, pomp for rigatoni and a bolognese pasta. Both are perfectly prepared. A nice espresso martini to finish. Ethaneal as our waiter was great, informative and attentive.

It wasn't just efficient--it was genuinely thoughtful. The staff greeted me with warmth and enthusiasm, taking the time to explain the self-pour system in a way that felt welcoming rather than rushed or scripted. You could tell they actually cared about making sure every guest felt comfortable and confident. What impressed me most was their attentiveness without being overbearing. They checked in at just the right moments, offering recommendations tailored to my tastes and even suggesting a few options I wouldn't have tried otherwise--but ended up loving. Their knowledge of the beverages on tap was clearly extensive, and they shared it in a way that felt friendly and engaging, not pretentious. Even during busier moments, the team maintained a calm, positive energy that made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. It's rare to find a place where the staff strikes such a perfect balance between professionalism and personality. Tapville at The Shops At La Cantera, San Antonio, TX doesn't just serve drinks--they create an experience, and their customer service is at the heart of it. It's the kind of place you look forward to returning to, not only for what's on tap, but for the people behind the bar who make it memorable.
