Host Brian Copeland spotlighted Walnut Creek's Rocco's Ristorante Pizzeria on this week's "Hole in the Wall" segment. The segment aims to help you discover small unique thriving Bay Area business that may be falling under your radar.
The family-owned 335 plus seater restaurant has been serving up delicious Italian dishes for the past 15 years-pizza, pasta, salads etc!

Listen to the full segment.
Host of the Chamber's Holiday BASH last year, Rocco Biale has been an active and generous member of the Chamber since 1999. He currently serves as a Director on the Chamber Board of Directors.
