Authentic Italian Catering in Detroit Since 1916
Rocco's Detroit began in 1916 with Gaetano 'Guy' Rocco, a young immigrant from southern Italy who brought his culinary traditions to Detroit. We honor his legacy through authentic Italian cuisine crafted with time-honored recipes and quality ingredients. Our family-owned business specializes in catering, gourmet sandwiches, and charcuterie boards, serving both intimate gatherings and large events. We prioritize fresh, locally sourced components while preserving the flavors of Italy through marinades, spices, and preparation techniques passed down through generations. Our team combines decades of experience in hospitality and culinary arts to deliver exceptional service and memorable dining experiences.We emphasize transparency in our ingredient sourcing and pricing, maintaining open communication with clients throughout the planning process. As active members of the Detroit community, we celebrate cultural diversity through food and support local initiatives that strengthen neighborhood connections. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our attention to detail, from handcrafted menu items to personalized event coordination. We operate with integrity, ensuring every client receives the same care and dedication that defined our founder's approach a century ago.
