Rocco Agostino
About
Rocco was born and raised in Toronto, by two Italian parents who had immigrated to Canada a few years before. As a child he spent his days playing outside in the park or the alleyway behind his house, and dreamt of becoming a musician; but didn’t make it far with the accordion. Young Rocco’s passion for food was cultivated at an early age when he sold fruit for his uncle. He would try out a few other professions along the way, such as shoe salesman and real estate agent, but Rocco’s passion and love for the kitchen could not be denied. Starting as a dishwasher at Ciao Bella in Woodbridge, Rocco’s hunger for food took him first to the Stratford Chef’s School, and then to study abroad in Rome for several years. His first experience leading a kitchen was at Ferro Bar Café and from there he went on to open his very own restaurant the Silver Spoon. Rocco, alongside Max Rimaldi opened Pizzeria Libretto in 2008, and have since been changing the Toronto landscape of Pizza.
When Rocco is not busy slinging pizzas in the kitchen, he loves to spend his days with his wife and partner Kara of over 18 years, and their two children Super Sebastian and Mighty Mia. Being active is important to their family, and the Agostino clan is often biking or playing in the park.
His philosophy is one of simplicity, flavour and passion. Using a few seasonal ingredients to create a tasty dish that evokes memories of a passionate heart.

Rigatoni Alla Genovese
It’s fine, nothing special. Definitely better than your average ready meal, but the image shows basil and cheese, there is none. Its all pretty average and I personally would get something else.

Chicken Parmesan with Rigatoni
Followed the instructions but still wasn’t warm or hot when finished. It’s just ok for me.

Chicken Parmesan with Rigatoni
Delicious. But very basic. Excellently executed and real heated great but just not much to it.

Nonna's Slow-Cooked Lasagna
Only issue is consistency. Ordered two, one had good amount if Ragu but the other had barely any at all.

Basil Pesto Chicken & Rice Bowl
Instructions say eat hot or cold. Heated because I find raw cabbage and green beans unpalatable. after heating, the cucumber/courgette turned to mush. The dressing didn’t work on warm food.

Nonna's Slow-Cooked Lasagna
Tough and needed longer cooking than instructed
