Welcome to LaScala’s Fire

Francesco and Tommasina Rocchino worked incredibly hard, raised a large family, loved their South Philadelphia neighborhood deeply, and never hesitated to lend a hand to fellow immigrants especially during the war. Over time they built two successful businesses — Rocchino & Sons, a corner deli & grocery store legendary for grandmom’s fresh pastas & sandwiches — and a construction company through which my grandpop built many of the neighborhood’s row houses with great attention to detail and quality.

My grandparents and their beautiful daughter Rosemary LaScala, my mother, are my inspiration every day! I honor their passion, their integrity, and their drive in all I do.

On behalf of my team at the LaScala Restaurant Group and I, we thank you for making it possible for us to do what we love . . . we hope to see you soon . . . let’s eat!
