There is a lot to a restaurant name and for Bite on the Go it describes perfectly what this Brazilian/American restaurant does best. It is a great place to go for a relaxed meal with the family and friends or for a quick “Bite on the Go” for the busy vacationer or local. With a menu diverse enough to accommodate every craving, customers can select their meal from a revolving buffet that includes both Brazilian and American favorites, eating in the spacious dining area or, conveniently, taking a container of food to go.

Rocco’s was an accidental island fixture. The owners planned on opening a pizza shop in Florida but found that real estate was more viable on the Vineyard. Owner Chris Pantalone says, “We opened on December 13th during a blizzard and we have been busy ever since.” It is easy to understand the appeal of Rocco’s.

There are a thousand noises that echo across the Vineyard, but none are more rare than the sound of silence. The neon buzz of Oak Bluffs and the high end clamor of Edgartown are indeed an experience, but sometimes what a person needs is a little peace and quiet. On the island of Chappaquiddick, fondly nicknamed ‘Chappy’ by island residents, peace and quiet muffle the weary island traveler’s footsteps.
