DAVID ROCCO says, “I’m not a chef, I’m Italian!” His cooking learned at his mother’s side, David is the epitome of an Italian food lover: adventurous, opinionated and fantastic to be around at dinnertime. Dolce Vita is shown in over 150 countries around the globe, and as of 2010 it has been airing on the Cooking Channel to over 80 million homes in the United States. Season 5 is airing on the Food Network in September 2015. La Dolce Vita–branded wines have launched in Ontario’s LCBO and are set to roll out across the country. Formerly a model, David Rocco spends his time developing new concepts for his company, Rockhead Entertainment, with his wife and business partner, Nina. They have three children and split their time between Toronto and Italy. Check out his website at www.davidrocco.com.
