Rossini Trattoria Gastronomica

Excellent food and service
Staff are a trip

We love Rossini's for that 'special' occasion. The food was great, the service was warm and friendly and the evening was wonderful, just as we knew it would be. We got to enjoy Maurice's exceptional voice as we enjoyed dessert. What a delightful combo.

It was a wonderful experience, food was outstanding ambiance was fascinating! The owner picked up his guitar and sang to us with his operatic tenor voice that was enthralling!! Wonderful evening can’t wait to go back. One of our group (who has traveled all over the world) said it was possibly the best meal she has ever had!!

Great food, the quality of the food is the best,I had homemade ricotta gnocci, wow!!! That's new on there menu,they also have a grilled option, for those that want a healthy option, my husband loves osso bucco, it's the best,the entertainment is awesome, Maurice has a wonderful voice and now his wife joins him for a song or 2, very entertaining, it's not just dinner but also great entertainment, there are great team between Dario who cooks amazing dishes and the hospitality and entertainment it's a must go! Please go you won't regret it!

This place is a JEWEL! Mauricio and team are spectacular. Don’t miss this!

Our meals were excellent! Cooked perfectly.
The owners; Husband and wife team were entertaining with table side songs, not to mention, Excellent service. It was a fun night...
We will be back!

Charming hosts wonderful food lovely ambience. We will definitely be going back

One of our absolutely favorite spots. Food is prepared fresh to order and always excellent. My favorite is the eggplant. It's NOT breaded and fried so the eggplant melts in your mouth. Both veal dished are excellent as well as the chicken. This is fresh, northern Italian fare. Don't confuse it with the American, overly sauced, cheesed and huge portions of pasta.
Best part is listening to Maurice sing. He is amazing and it makes the evening so special. Such a gift he has.

It was a special night out. The dinner was delicious and it was like being at the opera listening to Maurice sing.

Great food and service. The entertainment it wonderful.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant. Maurice and his staff are personable and attentive and the food that comes out of Chef Leo's kitchen is amazing.

Happy inviting couple to a REAL Italian restaurant. Puts places in Boston's North End to shame. The food is superb. Four different meals -- four different sighs of delight. The owner and waiter is wonderful, with a great singing voice. This is our go-to place for special occasions, guests, romantic evenings, or just a wonderful meal.

The food is excellent! If you truly want Italian food this is it! It’s a hidden gem, Maurice sings Italian songs it’s a great atmosphere, no Italian restaurant has all this you get great food and great entertainment , and the owners make you feel like family. I totally recommend this place.

Great food, excellent wine and fantastic hosts. The owners sang to us and the other guests and made the evening a wonderful experience.

Outstanding food, and wine selection. The owners are very attentive and appreciative. Food made fresh not some frozen chain restaurant trash. Outstanding!!!

Diamond in the rough!! Don't be fooled by the exterior!!
Excellent food, service and wonderful owners.
You wont be disappointed.

Had to be in Pt Charlotte overnight so I checked open table and picked Rossini’s. Great choice! Food was excellent, my veal milanese was so tender and my wife’s chicken dish was delicious. Dessert topped it off perfectly. Mauritizio was a gracious and entertaining host with voice that belongs at Carnegie Hall. Will be back on the next trip.

My first time at the restaurant and it is a hidden gem. The owners are wonderful people and they do an outstanding job in all levels. The food was excellent and presented in a beautiful way. I would suggest this restaurant to everyone.

We love this place. Hands down the best authentic Italian in Charlotte County. My better half is Italian and it is hard to impress a person who was raised in Italy on Nana's cooking. This restaurant not only impresses but has become a regular date night spot. Check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Best Italian restaurant in the County, and possibly the state. All fresh ingredients prepared to order. The taste is exquisite. Wine list far better than your average fare, wide range of selections. Very friendly, family owned. And if you're lucky, you might convince Maurice to sing a few numbers!

Wonderful atmosphere, great food, feels like a piece of italy

We make the trip to Rossini Trattoria Gastronomica whenever we are in Ft. Myers. The 45 minute trip is more than worth it. We had 2 first timers with us this week and they can’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed the food. We even ordered a couple of pizzas to take home with us for lunch the next day. Maurice and his wife always take great care of us and when Maurice serenades the customers it always brings out big smiles.
Chef Dario creates awesome meals. We always have a great time!
If you enjoy quality Italian dishes, you have to go to Rossini Trattoria Gastronomica!

One of our favorite restaurants. Always a great meal and a great time! Maurizio and Dario treat your like you are family!! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience...on a scale of 1-10...it’s an “11 Excellent”!!!

Terrific again, best Italian food, we had the pollo supremo, pasta arrabiatta, all exceptional! this is best Italian restaurant in Charlotte county, the owners are very nice and attentive, Maurice has a fantastic voice, it's very much recomended.

Awesome Italian food! Incredible atmosphere. Very fresh, creative menu!

It was a pleasure to be greeted by Maurice who proceeded to serenade my date with Italian opera areas.

Best Italian food in the PUnta Gorda/ Port Charlotte area. A must try

Great food and service as usual!

Excellent food and service

Our meal was outstanding! We ordered the appetizer special for the evening and the two entree specials: pasta with pancetta and pork tenderloin with apricots ! Soooo good!

Quality Italian cuisine and wonderful wine selection.

Best Italian food hands down! Maurice has a beautiful voice, the owners make your dinner enjoyable, we love going there it's really a great experience

This is an authentic Italian experience. The owners are warm & friendly and the food is delicious. We asked for an appetizer that wasn’t on the menu and asked to modify a red sauce to a white wine sauce on one of the specials. They happily fulfilled our requests. One of the owners signs and plays the guitar. He is very good. We will be back.

Excellent as always.Highly recommend dining here.We will be back.

Authentic Italian Cuisine... hands down!
Wonderful service, atmosphere and incredibly delicious...

The food was excellent as always. This is our go to restaurant when we have guests or a special occasion to celebrate. The staff and entertainment is excellent and we are always meet and treated as family. We truly love visiting the restaurant and highly recommend it to all our friends and neighbors.

Rossini Trattoria Gastronomica is the finest food in Charlotte county and probably the west coast of Florida. It doesn't get any better. The food is superb and the wines are excellent. The atmosphere is romantic. By that I mean that if it's your birthday or anniversary Maurice will serenade you upon request. The chef is the finest in Florida.
