BISTRO 74
ROCCO CARBONARA, a classically trained chef from Italy, local
culinary star for the past twenty years and proud owner of the highly
regarded Rocco’s Restaurant, has opened up a new restaurant at the
Holiday Inn, in downtown San Clemente.
The old restaurant Maxim’s is completely remodeled and updated, transforming into Rocco’s
Bistro 74, now open daily from 4:30 to close. The cuisine is casual, reasonably priced, and
of course, features Chef Rocco’s amazing creations made completely on-site to ensure
optimum freshness and quality. The menu features appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, tacos,
salads, pasta, chicken, fish, duck and steaks including a 16 oz. Rib Eye for only $24.

I inquired about Rocco’s new Bistro 74
menu and was told that it is a little more
casual than “Rocco’s Restaurant” and
features a diverse menu that is quite
reasonably priced (the most expensive item on it is a 16 ounce Rib Eye
Steak for $24). The restaurant itself
has been completely remodeled, it
has a warm inviting atmosphere
along with a New York City
vibe. The Sonos sound system is state-of-the-art and
after dinner, the music gets
turned up for dancing. On
weekends, during the sum-
mer there is live music. For the many
locals who love Rocco’s great food,
this new venue offers easy access,
plenty of seating and a warm friendly
atmosphere to accommodate their
culinary needs, be it for one or one
hundred.
