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.

    This restaurant never disappoints. Mary Ann always gives excellent service. The food is consistently delicious. I get the vodka rigatoni every time. I need to get out of my comfort zone and try something else. Delicious food, huge portions and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for.

    Food was spectacular. Service was great. Rocco came out and joined us at the end of the meal. A memorable experience. Have already changed our plans to get back there again this week.

    If you’re looking for a quiet place to enjoy dinner, this is not it. At least it wasn’t last night. Several large parties kept the noise level pretty high. Great food, though! Service was slow getting started.

    First time there but definitely not the last. Food was amazing and waiter was hysterical and wonderful. Felt like you were at a big family party. I can see why the place was so busy. Can't wait to go back.

    Well the harried Hostess did not have our reservation, blaming it on Open Table. I have used Open Table for years and never had any problems. That being said we were squeezed in between two close tables. Very uncomfortable. I said something as we were being seated that we would prefer a booth. 5 minutes later we were moved. One person ordered the soup of the day and had to wait about a half hour for it to come out. Drinks and appetizer came quickly. Shortly after the soup came the entrees were served. Leaving him to hurry with the soup to eat the entree before it got cold. Food was decent, entirely too much spaghetti to fill up the plate. Server Rachel was excellent until she told us we only had 20 minutes to finish up. The person who waited forever to get his soup was rushed and annoyed to be rushed. Between the 4 of us we spent several hundred dollars, to be treated like that?????? Noisy - staff loud, rushed to finish, not having the reservation, was not what we were expecting for a nice night out!!!
