With a lovely setting, inside and out, Rocco’s Italian Grille is another higher-end Italian venue, but one with a decidedly warm, neighborhood vibe. Open in 2006 by well-known local (by way of Italy’s Calabria region) Rocco Potami, who had been affiliated with a number of lauded Orlando-area eateries in years previous, the restaurant’s menu is diverse, featuring dishes from throughout the country: fritto misto alla ligure from the Ligurian Riviera, tender-fried Milanese chicken breast and a grilled Tuscan veal T-bone in a Chardonnay sauce are just a sliver of the regional delights in store. Fresh ingredients – be sure to ask your server for the bruschetta of the day – are a big part of this venue’s recipe for success.
