Rocco's Ristorante Pizzeria 2909 Ygnacio Valley Rd Walnut Creek, CA 94598 (925) 947-6105 rocco.biale@yahoo.com 95 YEARS OF BIALE FOOD HISTORY...and counting! For almost a century the Biale Family has been in the food, spirit and hospitality business in the San Francisco Bay Area. After arriving from Italy, my grandparents, Giovanni and Virginia Biale opened Biale's Meat Market in 1920 on Connecticut Street in the Italian neighborhood of San Francisco's Potrero Hill District. In fact, to this day, BIALE is still the entry way in front of the old butcher shop. Their three sons, Giacomo (Jack), Mario (my father) and Rudy all worked at the family butcher shop. Jack stayed in the butcher business his entire life. Mario and Rudy went on to open many restaurants, bars and clubs in San Francisco as well as Hawaii. Not to be forgotten in our family's food history is my wife Jacque Biale (nee Comelo) and niece Connie Biale who owned and operated the very popular Maria Elena's Mexican Restaurant in Concord for almost twenty years. Our family opened Rocco's Ristorante & Pizzeria here in Walnut Creek in 1999, and in keeping with family tradition, all three of our grown children now work here at Rocco's. Dante, our oldest, is usually behind the bar or at the front desk. Dominic can be found in the kitchen, working the pasta station with great pride and Nina, our youngest, is busy in the dining room serving your favorite dishes. We here at Rocco's take great pride in being a true, family owned and operated restaurant. A tradition that is sadly leaving our cultural landscape. Our entire family & staff hope you enjoy your visit to Rocco's as we try to keep a 95-year tradition going... ARRIVEDERCI A PRESTO DA ROCCO!

Additional Information
Our mission is to improve the lives of all domestic and out in the wild animals in our county! Advocates of Contra Costa County is a group that urgently formed in 2024 in response to the rising numbers of animals placed on euthanasia lists in Contra Costa County and the policies that don't go far enough to provide resources for the shelters or rescues working hard to keep our furry friends free from harm. AACCC serves as a hub to help rescue groups and volunteers, do outreach in the community as well as advocacy work educating the community and elected officials of the important needs of our county animals. We’re optimistic that all these efforts are making a huge impact on the animals but it takes time, perseverance, and of course, funding. This auction and fundraiser will be raising funds to support spay and neuter efforts of two non-profits in the county who are dedicated to helping the community. Stitch in Time Animal Rescue (STAR), a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing medical intervention to injured or sick animals and saving them from neglect, abuse, preventable suffering, and unjustified euthanasia. Since its founding in 2018, STAR has provided rigorous evaluation, medical care, fostering, and adoption, STAR does everything within its power to ensure that these animals receive the compassion and futures they deserve. STAR has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of animals, providing second chances and ongoing care for animals who would otherwise face a life of suffering and early death from injuries, illness or euthanasia at institutions that could not treat or house them. Len Welsh and the devoted board members of STAR are passionate animal advocates and have spearheaded efforts to address overcrowded shelters, rescue at-risk medically compromised animals, and find them loving homes. Community Concern 4 Cats (CC4C) is an all-volunteer cat rescue making a difference in Contra Costa County, California. They are the life line for fostering, adopting, or and spay and neuter. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cat rescue organization. In the past year alone, Community Concern for Cats helped over 1,300 cats and kittens find loving homes, provided spay/neuter services for 3,300 cats, and delivered medical care to thousands of cats and kittens. The silent auction is online from November 11, 2025 starting at 11:00 a.m. and ending December 12, 2025 at 12:00 am.
