General Description

Rocco Coscarelli Comes to America In 1920 a young Italian man named Rocco Coscarelli came to America to pursue his dream. He worked for years in the North Beach institutions Fior d'Italia, Bimbo's 365 Club and The Riviera. Rocco realized his dream when he and his wife Constantina opened their own Italian restaurant in San Francisco's Excelsior District called Rocco's Fine Food. For more than 30 years he ran a successful business where the key ingredients were quality, quantity, and personality. This old-school Italian recipe for success was passed down to his grandson Don, who 19 years ago opened Rocco's Cafe in his honor. The Coscarellis had started a family tradition that would span many generations. In addition to Rocco, his son Lou Coscarelli owned the Monte Carlo restaurant in San Francisco, his daughter Frances Benedetto owned a café in Menlo Park, and another daughter 'Nora (Chef Don's mom) still makes homemade desserts for Rocco's Café.
