Old world charm, very nice staff, great groceries. Rocca's reminds me of Reds Market in Orange County, from years ago. We usually buy our meat there. They have fantastic pies. I highly recommend read more

Misleading pricing - the true cost of tri tip was $25 a pound! have been shopping at Rocca's for years -- and have loved it. However I have a suggestion - because the cost of the tri tip is misleading and I paid almost $20 for marinade!: Try to bulk marinade your tri tip and then sell it at its real price -- OR be more transparent about the actual size and cost of the tri tip. Today I bought a tri tip -- @ $15/lb. I thought I was getting a 3.5 pound tri tip @ $51.50. However, when I weighed it at home, the tri tip it was only 2.3 pounds. The marinade was 18 ounces!... so paid approximately $17 - a third of my cost - for something I couldn't use. The TRUE cost of the tri tip was approx. $25 a pound. So I paid almost $20 for marinade which you can't really use... I have never had this issue before -- with such a copious amount of liquid. read more

Amazing old school butcher and deli. Hope the new owners dont change what we San Martin residents have loved for so many years!

I have been in here a few times before. It is a great little neighborhood market with a legendary meat counter. In the past I have purchased pre-marinated tri-tips, and they were okay. My marinated tri-tips are better, in my opinion. But I went in a few days looking for a nice Porterhouse steak, and they had them! I purchased a 1.8 pound porterhouse and grilled it. Truly one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Thank you, Rocco's, for having excellent meat, excellent service, and not rude like a counterpart in Gilroy. I will be back over and over again. read more

Even with the new owners, they've decided to keep the butcher and Marianne's ice cream selection intact. I'll still come as long as that doesn't change read more

Not just a great little local market but also a very delicious deli. We ordered a couple of tri-tip sandwiches and they were awesome, heated soft bread with plenty of meat inside. I've been looking for a good tri-tip place and we have finally found one! Extremely friendly and helpful staff too. Thank you Rocca's. read more

Nothing ordinary about this gourmet market and this place is not cheap. But you get what you pay for. They sell high quality, excellent cuts of meats and I believe even have their own line of wines. There is a nice array of marinades, rubs and spices, for do it yourself meat marinade and pre-marinaded meats. The Santa Maria rub is outstanding and their prime rib.... The most tender I've had. I suggest pairing the two because it's excellent! They also carry high quality farm fresh chicken and some fish as well. First time we have been here and we will return for special occasions. Fun find hidden in downtown San Martin. Thank you Yelp for giving us a good find! read more

What are you looking for? You will be surprised with the great wine selection, and their meat department is off the chart with their own sausage selection. read more

This is our "corner market", but it is so much more. They carry almost anything you need grocery-wise, but the most impressive thing is their meat counter. They have all sorts of custom meats - tri tips, steaks, chops, sausage (that they make) and more. They also have a deli, which makes amazing sandwiches. I heard they sold recently and I'm going to be very sad if it changes or goes away. read more

Bought aged beef rib roast for Christmas Dsy. Excellent choice. We also love the sausage with pineapple

Hands down, the best meats in the area! Don't just wait for special occasions, they have awesome bacon, sausage and marinated meats. You can even ask them to season your meats with their amazing seasoning rub. Support our local treasure! read more

The store was clean, well-organized, and had a great selection of drinks--from popular brands to unique local options. Prices were reasonable, and the checkout process was quick and easy. You can tell they care about their customers and the quality of their products. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Went there for the meat counter. Its a huge step up compared to the giant supermarkets. The meat counter has cuts you only dreamed of. Well worth going there again and again. read more

Rocca's really does have a little bit of everything. It's one of the few family markets left that know their customers by name and give great customer service. Their meat market and produce department are the best! They feature local products and even have self serve local honey. We love Rocca's Market. read more

Excellent gourmet grocery. Excellent meats! Bought a porterhouse, and it was delicious. Black pepper spare ribs were awesome. Just wish I would have bought more. House made salsa and guacamole are very good...spicy! A hidden gem! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Prices are a little high, but you get what you pay for. The main reason I go is the meat counter. 1. Great selection of sausages they make in-house. 2. Great marinated tri-tips. I like the Santa Maria and Bloody Mary ones the best. 3. The marinated chicken breasts are excellent. When cooking, they stay moist and have a great flavor! 4. They have various cuts of steak which are really good. I got a porterhouse last time that was excellent. I always grab a package of Roxeanne's biscotti when I'm there. Great selection of beer, wine and spirits. Staff is always super friendly. Definitely stop by if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Great fish/meat selection Easy parking. I like the small market feel. Easy to drive by... looks very plain outside. Nice selection of drinks Staff is friendly. read more

This is a great small town market with wonderful produce, homemade sausage, great customer service

Top notch meat selection . I've been coming to this place for over 10 yrs . Great service too. People here are super friendly.

Stopped in day before Thanksgiving to pick up a couple of Gizdich pies and some rolls. The staff was friendly and plenty of parking. However, the pies were so dry!! We bought 2 apple pies and they were terrible!! The rolls were moldy by Friday, the day after Thanksgiving!!?? I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the pie and rolls! I will not be buying pies from the next year! read more

Love this place since i was a child. Great meats,produce,Gizdich farms pies + so much more.

Great Italian market with excellent deli section. Nice, pleasant, helpful staff. Great selection of meats and sausages.

I try to support small businesses anywhere I can. I bought several meats from them (some as exotic as crocodile tail....DELISH btw). But the woman who helped me pick out a steak for my mom's birthday was spot on. It was the BEST steak I ever had. So tender it was like a roast that had been sitting in a crockpot for 8 hours. Hope you guys survive the "storm" we're in right now. UPDATE: April 2021 I was evicted from my home I've lived in for over years. I'll be missing all my Bay Area favs and I'm planning on probably relocating back home to the Midwest. There's ZERO diversity and originality in their restaurants or retailers in that area. I'm going to be sad to move all the good places California has offered me over these decades, but my family wants me back and with the climbing prices on housing it's the best choice. I'll be here still but not much to write about where I'm going. I'll miss you all! Keep Rockin'! read more

Rocca's Market - $18 a pound boneless prime rib steak. Worth every penny! - Grocery Near Me - San Martin, California

Great service.... always support your small home town business. Owner was very helpful and helped take my groceries out to the car

Hard times.. scary times. Writing this review during the Covid 19 pandemic. My reviews have been skimp because I super stalked before the shelter in place came to effect. But now, I'm running low on some necessities so I am very thankful for Rocca's Market. No need to go to the overcrowded high traffic grocery stores chains. Rocca's has everything I need. They follow social distancing which I appreciate, and have signs all over the place. One of the staff members is at the door to control the amount of people coming in. As scary as it is going out nowadays, all these extra precautions taken by Roccas, I do feel comfortable going out. They have fresh vegetables and a fantastic meat selection. Picked up some tritip, pork belly, and sausages. They also carry Mariannes ice cream, local honey... and guess what, they have flour!!! Thank you Roccas read more

Now I know why they are hiring. worst experience with the oldest cash register man ever. grouchy and disrespectful. Meat counter representative was great. I'll never go back and have brought a ham for several years. Never again!!!! Horrible person needs to move on. read more

Butcher stand is amazing. Whisky selection is also fantastic. I particularly love their sausages. read more

I've been shopping at Rocca's Market for almost two decades now, and service has always been consistently friendly and warm! I love that they're a small neighborhood grocery filled with the best local treasures -- mostly organic and natural -- meats, poultry, seafood, produce, baked goods, and products. Buy Local at its finest! Every Spring, I return with my own clean mason jar and fill it with local, organic wildflower honey to help ease my family's seasonal allergies! Year-round, my pantry is also stocked with different flavors of honey to sweeten our tea! Orange Blossom is our all-time favorite! I'm glad Rocca's still around after all these years! It will always be my favorite local grocery! read more

Rocco's is one of the last grocery stores left. The service is great. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong buying your meat there. Stop by and give them a try. If you have never been inside, I think you will find it to be a good place to stop to pick up A few items. Check it out! read more

I was contacted by Dan K. One of the butchers at Rocca's and apologized about the incident with the cashier who turns out to be one of the owner Dan was super friendly and indicated to ask for him once I comes back to the store. So I did, he introduce me to the owner and give me a free bottle of wine witch I enjoyed a lot. I love coming back here for their meats, wines and service. Thank you, Dan K.!!! David- read more

WOW! Never been here, but only heard great things. Loved the selection of local wines. I would have loved to see Calerrain at the market. Perfect for the huge selection of meat. Their Malbec and the steak makes my mouth water. I was unsure what to expect. I stayed on the safe side since I had just gone grocery shopping. Tonight I made the garlic sausage. Amazing!! I will go back and get so much more: marinated chicken, wine marinated beef, Bloody Mary marinated beef, bacon, breakfast sausage and fish. Lots of great spices and honey offered. The only local bread is from Watsonville. The rosemary loaf looked great, but there was a hole in the bag. Went with their sourdough. Everyone that worked there said hi and asked how my day was. read more

Rocca's Market is a cool little market located off Monterey Rd in San Martin. You can easily get to Rocca's off the 101 San Martin exit. I usually go to Rocca's Market for their wonderful meat market. They have a good selection of meats including tri-tip and homemade sausage. I have tried the chili cheese and would highly recommend trying it. They offer a variety of local products also like biscotti, jams, wines, and pies. If you are in South County and looking for quality meat Rocca's Market is the place. read more

I have to say I am totally blown away at the quality of meat sold in this little market! We picked up two beautifully marbled New York steaks yesterday that were so incredibly juicy and tender, I could've eaten two! If you haven't been to Rocca's, you need to go! Be sure to grab a pound or two of their homemade chorizo while you are there! It's simply the best around! Lots of locally grown and produced products! read more

Butcher Dan really knows his stuff: the Santa Maria marinated-tri tip wowed everyone! Other groceries good & convenient but not cheap. Veggies fresh. Alternatives exist nearby, including a Safeway & Nob Hill Foods, but Rocca's is an old-time family store with its own vibe. read more

I got a rib roast for New Years. I was given instructions for cooking. I have NEVER had a better piece of meat. I also got a seasoning from them that was recommended. fabulous . what a nice friendly market with lots of different things. I love the store read more

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!! I've heard about this little place for years and kinda brushed it off thinking my rubs and technique could rival anybody's marinade..... OMFG was I wrong. I'm completely and utterly addicted. Like a fat kid loves cake you can drop one of these marinated tri-tips on my barbi any day. I love 'em all. From the wine and spice, to the holy hell- Bloody Mary, to the peppered and then the honey teriyaki you can't go wrong with any one of 'em.... and that's just the tri-tips. Their hand made sausages are off the f'n charts amazing too. I've been told over the years that my rubs and meat cooking are top notch, but these meats that I've been getting the last couple months have brought more people to my house for bbqs then ever before. My Bbq game is untouchable now. Thanks Rocca's.... you're the best!! read more

If you're traveling in the country,this is the kind of grocery store you would want to visit.At first you go in it looks like a liquor store due to the amount of wines and liquor you see.There is a Rocca's wine,made by a local winery--it is a red wine and a bargain price.There is a large selection of local wines as well.They also have wines from Mexico! You don't see that in every store that sells wine.If you want to try something new,this would be a good place to look.There are also local baked goods,honey,olive oil and other foods.Some of the types of honey available are pine honey,wild blueberry honey,olallieberry honey and more.You can also get Morgan Hill T-shirts,Rocca's Market t-shirts and hats and mugs as well.Great souvenir gift item.Also San Martin T-shirts. read more
