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.

About by Chef Rocco

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around as we delve into the remarkable journey of Chef Rocco—a true testament to the American dream. In 2015, Rocco arrived from the Amalfi Coast to the United States with less than $750 in his pocket and a heart full of hope.

With sheer determination and an unwavering work ethic, he navigated the rocky path of immigrant life. Working tirelessly with a vision and a brother by his side, Rocco co-founded Scarpino's Family Restaurant, transforming it from a modest establishment into a thriving multi-million-dollar venture.

Today, as he stands on the brink of launching his dream project, Rossini's by Chef Rocco, we celebrate not just his culinary genius but his incredible journey of resilience, passion, and success.

Welcome to the extraordinary world of Chef Rocco! ​
