Welcome to Rocco's Italian Grille, Winter Park, Florida, USA!

Proprietor Rocco Potami has opened a casual yet sophisticated dining spot as warm and personal as a family-run trattoria, with golden-hued walls, warm woods, white linens and lovely al fresco dining on a courtyard terrace.

Chef Juan Mercado, a young protégé of noted Chef Massimo Fedozzi, uses the freshest meats, produce, breads, special sauces and imported pastas that are the heart of fine Italian cooking.

Rocco's Italian Grille offers a diverse culinary experience, offering a taste of favorite dishes selected from each region of Italy.

“It’s all about great food with authentic ingredients.” says Potami, a native of the Calabria region, where he grew up watching his grandmother and mother work their kitchen magic with fresh herbs, vegetables and meats from the region. “I was fascinated by the aromas and the whole process of taking raw ingredients and creating great meals.”

It wasn’t long before that fascination became a life-long passion for Potami. That passion is evident throughout the menu he has crafted alongside Chef Juan Mercado, a young protégé of noted Chef Massimo Fedozzi. Mercado uses the freshest meats, produce, breads, special sauces and imported pastas that are the heart of fine Italian cooking.

“We at Rocco's Italian Grille, Winter Park, Florida, creating a diverse culinary experience,” said Chef Mercado, “a taste of our favorite dishes from each of Italy’s regions.”
