LaRocca's,
on Pxley Road in Gates, looks like a strip club or a teen center
from the road. It doubles as a party house so that explains the
festiveness.

In the foyer they had a pink Santa statue and a pink angel next
to a tiny fake tree. And there was a small picture of two people
in a frame. It looked like memorial to two people who died but
we're guessing they are the owners, Cindy and John LaRocca. The
little sign read, "Please Do Not Touch or Allow Children
to Sit on Platform. Thank You."

I
see they have a web
presence!

The
first waiter we had told us we would have two servers this night
because they were having an office Christmas party at the next
table in a half hour and it was going to take two people to keep
up with them. So we placed our order with one guy and the other
one brought our food. They looked alike (20 - 21, short hair but
wet look, and maroon shirts with a back tie) and I kept getting
them confused. We were there one minute before six so we qualified
for their Early Bird Special. My eggplant was tough. Our Early
Bird Special entitled us to dessert so we each ordered the vanilla
ice cream with frozen strawberries. They had espresso so we ordered
some. That was our table, above.
