    We were welcomed by the hostess immediately, and told there would be a short delay as they were fully booked. It truly was just a matter of moments and we were seated, I have mobility issues and the hostess was most concerned about my comfort and ease at getting to the table. Our server was very attentive and friendly, she knew the menu and made some suggestions. Food was out of this world as usual. We were with friends who had never been there and they thought their dinners were out of this world and the portions very generous. Three of the 4 of us brought food home. The place is small and loud but we knew it would be. Always a great experience!

    Loved the restaurant. The food was really good. Our waiter Angelo made our experience even better. We would go back and recommend it to others.

    Food was very good, however, there was a family problem with our waitress and she had to hurry home… unfortunately my order was forgotten and the rest of my party got their food and it took a while for them to get mine. I encouraged them all to please eat, but My husband kinda waited to continue eating, which meant his meal got cold. I ended up taking most of mine home, as the others were finished soon after my meal came. It was an expensive night to have had it turn out that way.

    I was looking for a upscale Italian restaurant and had heard good things about Rossini's but it was not what I was looking for as I wanted more upscale and it is very casual and the food is just more regular Italian and not different dishes that I was hoping for. The bread came to the table cold with the sauce and would have been really good if they were hot, but they were absolutely cold. We will not go back as I’m still continuing to look for something that I can take my family out for a special occasion. I also said that it was my son‘s birthday, but nothing was done about that either which was very disappointing. The one nice thing was the servers gave you the Italian experience as they are authentic Italians, and very personable. The sauce was good and if you just want to come for a every day regular Italian meal then this is the place for you.

    Been living in Port Charlotte for 5 years and this is by far the best Italian food around. The food is wonderful, the portions are huge and the prices very reasonable. We always request that Maryanne be our server - but the entire staff is very attentive. Make a reservation because the place is not that big and always full. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    The food and service was good. The chairs were hard and the tables were bare. It would have been nice to have had placemats. It’s a good place for families. Large selection of wines.
