About
About Rocco Cadolini
Rocco Cadolini was born in Sorrento, Italy, off the Amalfi Coast. He studied Hotel and Restaurant Management in school, and worked in the hospitality industry in London and Switzerland. At the age of 20, he moved by himself to NYC and landed jobs at busy eateries on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. After proving himself, Rocco was hired as a manager at the iconic restaurant Elios on Second Ave. Elios is the best kept secret among the rich and famous.
After 10 years at Elios, Rocco ventured out to open his own restaurant in Tribeca, naming it ROC. Rocco then opened his 2nd restaurant – Baci & Abbracci – a more casual, Neapolitan pizzeria in the hipster section of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. While Rocco has enjoyed the last 11 years of success in Williamsburg, he looks forward to bringing authentic Italian food and joy to Louisville.
