About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Rossini by Chef Rocco was founded out of a passion for authentic Italian cuisine. We believe in using only the finest ingredients to create dishes that are fresh, healthy, and full of flavor.

At Rossini, you'll find hand-picked organic produce, locally sourced meats, and artisanal cheeses. Each dish is a testament to our commitment to quality and the culinary arts.

Our journey began in 2024, when Chef Rocco's dream took shape in a cozy spot conveniently located in the rear of Port Charlotte Mall. Our small eatery offers a warm ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you're here for a family dinner, a special celebration, or a catered event, Rossini by Chef Rocco promises an unforgettable dining experience.

    From the service to the food , everything was fantastic . We are originally from NJ and have a hard time finding pizza we like. The pizza and calzone was so good, even better the next day when we heated it up . A must try. You won’t be sorry .

    Dont understand why Open Table allows you to make a reservation to a restaurant that seems to be out of business! After making reservation I called the restaurant numerous times but never got an answer. Went there for our reservation and the restaurant was closed and seemed to be closed for a while. Waste of time...

    Great meal during a crowded Mother's Day. It was crowded and there was no place to stand inside without having to constantly move to avoid the staff. That being said, the food and the service were outstanding. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a high-quality Italian meal.

    Good place, really good food, quaint little place. It was easy to overlook! The only downside ... don't go here if you want a cheerful, smiling server.

    We have eaten here many times and the food is consistent. The service overall has always been a bit slow and not attentive. This time once our food was served the waitress never checked to see how we liked our meal, didn’t come to offer refills on drinks or offer dessert. Never even made eye contact. After 25 minutes of finishing our meal I had to get up and ask her for our check.

    Delicious food and Excellent Service. Many tempting options on menu. We will return to sample other entrees and pizza. Had lemoncello cake which was also delicious. But no coffee available for customers? In this Wonderful Italian resturant? Thanks to the Chefs and Servers for providing a beautiful evening dinner.
