ROSSO ITALIAN

AMAZING FOOD! This was the best restaurant we had in AZ. Everything about the calamari was delicious even the shredded carrots and zucchini! We ordered a pizza and short rib pasta! The short rib was so good with the delicious house made noodles. Tender and flavorful short ribs. Pizza was wood fired and delicious but a little on the thin side. Drinks were good but could be stronger. Service was good!

We had such a great meal here! Everything we ordered was delicious, but our favorite had to be the zucchini chips—so crispy and flavorful. The steak was absolutely delish too, cooked perfectly. Honestly, there wasn’t a single dish we didn’t enjoy. The staff was super attentive, and the food came out surprisingly fast, which made the experience even better. The only downside was how hot it was in the dining area. With how warm it is outside, it would’ve been nice to have the AC running a little stronger. We were there for dinner after the sun had already gone down, and it still felt just as warm inside as it did outside when we walked out. Hope that was just a one off thing as we’ll def be back. They will validate parking so keep that in mind!

We were looking for something not mexican and found this place. We did not have a reservation, but the staff only took 2 min to find us a seat. The staff was very friendly, even tho they were very busy that night. We ordered pasta with sausage sauce. They had gluten free, which was a treat. They meal was great, although mostly pasta, and just enough sauce. I was so hungry and it really hit the spot. We had creme brulee for dessert. Very lemony! The sugar topping was very crunchy. A refreshing enjoyable dessert for the hot weather. The coffee was excellent. Loved the decor!

Best gluten free pizza we have eaten since being in Spain. Our friends couldn't even tell it was GF. Everybody was happy with their food and drinks. Only issue was AC seemed to be out. Very hot

Wow! My dinner here was superb. Kevin, our server, was excellent. He helped me pick just the right pasta and then helped me customize it so it was even better. Our food came out very quick and everyone in our party enjoyed their food. The appetizers were excellent, the cocktails delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better meal or experience.

First off- it was incredibly hot and stuffy inside the restaurant. I started sweating after we were seated and considered leaving because it was so uncomfortable. We ordered drinks and an appetizer right away. The appetizer (whipped ricotta) was the highlight of the night and came out relatively quickly. When the appetizer was brought out we asked to order our entrees and the server said he’d get our waiter. We waited a good 15-20 minutes before he came by. We also didn’t get our drinks until we were basically done with our appetizer. After we ordered our entrees they came out quickly, but both me and my friend thought the food was pretty mediocre.

Food was great but don't ever come as a large party. 20% auto gratuity and you'll be ignored. Skip to the **s if you want my food review only. Here's how the service went down: Service from the staff and food runners was fine. Our server was another story entirely. She was very inattentive and rude. We were a party of 8 here for Phoenix fan fusion and all coming from different hotels. Some of us joined 5 and 10 minutes later than the first half, who got there immediately. The server was very pushy about the table and the members who were on the way still, but that's not the worst part. During the service drinks weren't refilled, we ran out of water and never got more. The server spent her time 15 feet behind us loudly laughing and talking about her personal life around the bartenders and completely ignored us multiple times. We would have to look behind ourselves for about 2 or 3 minutes before she even looked up or noticed we needed something. I asked for 3 coke refills and had to beg for each one. The 3rd refill she dumped something into it because it was overly sweet and tasted like raspberry so I didn't even get to drink it. Too thick and sweet and she never came back to correct it. Every time we got help she went back to talk at the bar right behind us again and again. At the end of service we asked for the check and she again went to the bar to talk. 15 minutes went by and she finally came back with one check after we already asked for split checks. She then instead of fixing it walked away from us mid conversation to greet her new table the very second they were sat even though we were currently trying to leave and speaking to her about the bill. Another 5 minutes go by and she brings the bills but rang some of our stuff up correctly, half of us already paid so she told us she could either refund the card over 3to5 business days or that we can figure out who owes who ourselves. (We ended to figuring it out on our own and sending the others the money for the mischarges). She then explained that there's 20% auto gratuity and we realized why she didn't give a damn about good service to any of us. I pretended to go to the restroom to speak to the manager and he said he'd speak with her. This was Sunday night around or 6 pm. They were slow and steady. The server abused the large party auto gratuity. I've truly never received poorer service then this. Nothing was comped. Apologies were made from the manager in private but my friends were charged for things she rang in incorrectly and we all felt ignored and then trapped when we tried to leave because she wouldn't give us our bills. Avoid coming here as a large party. The restaurant will never be good with a server like her. **Now onto the food** Most of the food was delicious!! Parmesan fries were a soggy old let down. The meatballs have an insane cheese pull, and the flavors are wonderful. The Margherita pizza was light and airy. It was perfect. I could've eaten a 2nd one just to enjoy it longer. The focaccia bread with its parmesan pesto sauce was very refreshing as well. The linguine was creamy with the right amount of spice to compliment everything. We had tiramisu at the end, but it wasn't as flavorful as most other things we had. As far as desserts, I wasn't super impressed.
