The Rossi

First time at The Rossi did not disappoint. We were early for our reservations and sat at the bar for some cocktails. I got an espresso martini (7/10) and my friend asked for a mock tail and she was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was (she's picky). The whipped ricotta, ravioli and pizza were absolutely delicious! It was definitely busy and loud but made for a great girls night. I will be going back!

Wanted a good date night - pre concert stop. Hadnt been to The Rossi in a while but quickly remembered why it was such a great spot. North part of Short North area and actually had a lot of street parking nearby. The Rossi is small so highly recommend reservations - although tonight we hadnt planned ahead and we lucky on timing (had a nice hightop for two near the bar. Vibe is casual with first class service and high energy. Everyone there looks happy and socializes with their gang. Barstools 12-14 were packed with friendlies from side to side. Hostess was super friendly and seated us quickly. Our server, Connor, popped over really quick for intro and drinks. We later learned it was only his third week, but he was a rock star! Thanks Connor. Started with a glass of wine (good selection to choose from) and an Bourbon (great selection) coupled with their Bread Service - really fresh hot bread. Highly recommend this simple start. We also saw the couple next to us had the bruschetta and it looked amazing too (nice time). The menu (see pic) has something for everyone. For dinner we split the Leafy green salad and the Salmon (Connor recommendation) and Chicken Parm. Both were beautifully presented and tasted even better. Either dish would be a hit! Check and Goodbyes were smooth and we were on our way. Perfect pit stop and just as we wanted. Recommend giving it a try.

Excellent happy hour specials. I got the Manhattan and the salmon and they were both exquisite!

What can I say about the Rossi? Very cool, atmosphere and the place is generally packed. We always receive top notch service from the staff at the Rossi. The GM always takes exceptional care of us when we visit. My go to is the Brussel sprouts and the Rossi burger. Wife likes the pasta and pizzas. Now let's talk about the cocktails... my favorite part. Rossi cocktails are fantastic with my favorite being the old fashioned. Check out the Rossi on your next night out!

Service was super fast. Ambiance was great. Food was just okay. Ordered the chicken parm. The chicken was perfect, crispy and tasty. Cheese was light and the spaghetti it sat on was light on marinara. Asked for a side, but it was still bland. Everything needed some salt and a kick in the ass with some crushed red pepper.

A Columbus classic, love The Rossi. We had a large party and the server was excellent from start to finish. She was prompt with drink and appetizer orders and checked back often but not too much. We had a couple of small request which came out perfectly.The food is always good. Consistent is how I would explain it. Always good, rarely exceptional, never disappointing. The atmosphere is dark and laid back. Easy to relax and have good conversation.

The main section consist of both the bar along with a couple tables. There is a side section with some more seating area. Below are the things that I tried. Meatball | The texture is dense, but still retain the juiciness. The touch of fresh basil definitely help to balance out the flavor from the sauce and the meatballPasta Rossi | This would be my favorite for the meal. The cream sauce is rich and on point. Along with the al dente fettuccine and a hint of heat from the chili flakes.Citrus Cheesecake Flight | Love to see the three little button shape cheesecake on the plate. The flavor is light and not overly sweet

Came here as a walk-in with two of my girlfriends Saturday night. Thankfully, we were able to get seated really quickly and greeted by our server within just a few minutes we decided to start off with the house bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. It was absolutely delicious.We also wanted to try a few of the starters so we ordered the fried ravioli and the ciabatta bread. The fried ravioli truly reminded us of pizza rolls so a little nostalgic. They were very flavorful and absolutely loved the bread too. It was nice and crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. For the my entree I got the carbonara my friends ordered the rigatoni and the burger. Everyone's food is absolutely amazing and we left completely stuffed. We will definitely be back to try something else on the menu!

My friends and I were for restaurant week. My friend was in-town for work and she's talked highly about Rossi so we were all looking forward to it. They had a small but mighty Restaurant Week Menu. We all ordered the Toasted Ravioli for our appetizer and it was delicious, were toasted to brown perfection. If you are planning to split them with multiple people I would recommend ordering two orders if so, you are not gonna wanna share! For my entree I ordered the Pasta Rossi and WHEW! It was exactly what I was looking for in pasta, (me and my boyfriend loved it) a creamy tomato sauce with chicken that had amazing flavor! Would definitely come here and order that again! The table next to us had pizza and it looked soo good, forsure getting that next time!

Great food and great service. However, the manager came over to check on us at one point and she reeked of cigarettes--yuck!
