First Look: Mother’s Day Menu at Rocco’s Italian Grille in Winter Park

Rocco’s Italian Grille is a charming, romantic and intimate Italian restaurant located inside a vintage 1940’s building in Winter Park, located next to The Glass Knife.  The neighborhood has changed some since the opening of Rocco’s fourteen years ago but one thing has remained the same – the consistency of Rocco’s award-winning authentic Italian cuisine prepared by their experienced native chefs.

Proprietor Rocco Potami was born and raised in Italy and he has always been passionate about cooking.  His restaurant offers recreated recipes of his homeland which he has spent years researching, developing, and perfecting.  Mr. Potami has almost 40 years of experience cooking in Central Florida and it is evident when you indulge in his extraordinary dishes.

We were invited to Rocco’s to preview their Mother’s Day menu and we enjoyed our experience. From the appetizers, to our entrées and dessert, everything was incredibly delicious.  The service was first class as well.

The Mother’s Day menu at Rocco’s is composed of a variety of seafood and meat dishes that recreate old favorites and brings out new flavors.  Rocco’s uses only the freshest meats, imported pastas, and sauces made from scratch to serve a broad selection of dishes from each of Italy’s regions.
