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.

    Been living in Port Charlotte for 5 years and this is by far the best Italian food around. The food is wonderful, the portions are huge and the prices very reasonable. We always request that Maryanne be our server - but the entire staff is very attentive. Make a reservation because the place is not that big and always full. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    The food and service was good. The chairs were hard and the tables were bare. It would have been nice to have had placemats. It’s a good place for families. Large selection of wines.

    Delicious! My husband grew up eating Italian food cooked by an Italian woman who spoke three words of English and all of them were “eat”. He was impressed with the food and wants to come back and try it all! It’s like eating in the dining room of an Italian family, everything is delightful, and reasonably priced. We found our new spot!

    The food selection and food was delicious. Our server Rachael was great, very attentive and friendly. Small and cozy. The only minor thing would be the lighting was very bright and would be nice if it could be a little but dimmer. But that is a personal choice. Will definitely be going back.

    Very good, authentic Italian cuisine. A little pricey, but it seems like most things are these days. Staff were fun and engaging. It's a smaller place and quite loud, especially along the back wall/corner.
