This is my Husband's favorite place to eat in town and when we go there, the food is always amazing. They serve within timely matter and the restaurant is set up with a great ambience, plus their wine wall is iconic. read more

Unique interior with a cozy slightly rustic feel. Friendly and fast service. Good food with choices beyond just classic Italian, including bison, beef, and salads. Highly recommend checking out the dessert section. read more

We ordered takeout: two Margherita pizzas, one gluten-free and one regular. Neither pizza was labeled, which is extremely concerning when one order is gluten-free. No one should have to guess which pizza is safe to eat. The quality of the food was also very disappointing. Instead of the traditional thinly sliced tomatoes, both pizzas had large chunks of tomatoes. There was barely any mozzarella--only a couple of small pieces on each pizza--making them dry and far from what a Margherita pizza should be. The regular pizza was also overcooked and burnt. Overall, the food was poor quality, and the lack of labeling for the gluten-free pizza is unacceptable. Unfortunately, this experience was enough that we will not be returning. read more

Nice big restaurant. Has a "chain" feel. The spinach artichoke dip appetizer was creamy and good. The roasted fennel and Italian sausage pizza was tasty. The Gorgonzola and pear salad was fresh. A bit too much emphasis on balsamic in a lot of the meals for my taste. read more

Found the bread appetizers and dipping sauces enjoyable. Leaning more toward the olive oil and vinaigrette over the Gorgonzola or marinara. Diablo Fra Seafood linguini was a delightful blend of spice, seafood and marinara. I recommend the tomato bisque soup as an accompaniment to your chopped salad. Erin, our awesome server was friendly, and attentive. She was well versed on the menu, cocktails and any other topics! Restaurant had a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Lighting and booths were comfortable and well arranged with a favorable seat to table distance. read more

Greatly looking forward to this meal and it was mediocre. The space is huge. Lots of different areas to sit and they have a nice bar as well. Honestly, the complimentary bread was the best part of the meal. And it was bottomless! The almond chicken dish and steak and gorgonzola dish had really odd flavors that weren't complimentary. However, everything was cooked great. The chicken was good and the pasta was good. Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli. It was decent, but the sauce was a little too floury, and there wasn't enough flavor. read more

After a horrible experience the night before at a nearby Italian restaurant ( La Minestra ) my wife suggested Red Rossa for dinner. I had my doubts about it but figured it couldn't be any worse than the night before. Upon entering we were immediately impressed with the beautiful Italian decor. We were greeted & placed our order of two 3 topping Pizzas. Both Pizzas were absolutely outstanding & our server, Dustin, did a terrific job of taking care of us not to mention he was extremely personable & quite funny. Great decor, great food, great service & more than reasonable prices ( 2 entrees, 4 drinks & a side salad for $ 61.28 ) make Red Rossa a 5 star experience. Don't waste your time at the other Italian place in town. read more

We loved her sincerity and she made the experience personal and warm! read more

RedRossa Italian Grille - two people sitting at a bar - Italian Near Me - Pierre, South Dakota

Walk in and feel like you are in an actual Italia-ish restaurant with a prairie meets Tuscany type atmosphere. Staff is friendly and service is above average for local standards. They move well together and NONE of them were distracted by their cellphones. The bar was clean, comfortable, and big. Atmospheric music, not pop, that is loud enough to be hear would be a great plus... Or turn on a game. The food is kind of slow but the pizza is woodfired and about as good as South Dakota pizza gets. The crust is pretty awesome, charred but kind of soggy. It tasted great! This is easily a Top 5 South Dakota pizza! I also tried the specials and was left impressed enough that I will certainly return! For a bonus, the bathroom was clean!!! read more

Enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening, served by Kyla, who is fun, energetic, informative, and persuasive when she goes through the drink menu. Kudos to the bartender. Great service and delicious food in a relaxing dining atmosphere. Social distancing is in effect, but the room still felt lively. The decorator has good taste. Great specials on this Sunday evening, so be alert to good possibilities. read more

Although I have no pictures, I Highly Recommend this place, it's a fancy restaurant in the middle of the Dakota plains. I'm from Miami and I was impressed, the decor was nice felt I was in a different place. Our server was very nice and attentive. I was there for my birthday and ordered an array of food. Firecracker shrimp was definitely the bomb.com we also ordered the Baby Blue Bella & Sparkling chicken, they were both good If we go back we'll do definitely take pics. I was too hungry for that Xo Veronica read more

I've recently moved to the area from a much larger city in the southwest. I've been trying out the different restaurants in the area and heard of this place through coworkers. So craving Italian cuisine one night I gave it a go. And I was not disappointed. I placed an online order with the time I wished to pick it up. When arrived it was just coming out of the kitchen. Couldn't have timed it any better. Whilst waiting I was able to check out the decor and dining area. It's a most pleasant setting and the guests I observed seemed to be at ease and really enjoying themselves. I'll be sure to come back and eat in at the earliest opportunity. Thanks to the staff and management for a pleasant take out experience! read more

The 5 stars because this is the best Pierre, SD has to offer! Definitely very busy with folks in town for the legislative season in the SD capital. Happy hour specials were generous and overall I left satisfied but in another city with more options this would likely be a 3 or 4 star review. read more

I have been traveling a lot lately for work and have to say this place is worth eating at. I had the spicy chicken and shrimp was awesome. I have been an executive chef for many years and this place was clean and staff super friendly. The manager did go up and above for my order. There was a miss communication when I called the order in and the manager went out of his way to complete my order. Again the food was super tasty and the flavor profile was spot on read more

Honestly I really wanted to give this a higher review, but inconsistency of service, and food really set the stage for a low rating. I had the seafood pasta, and it was delicious. The hot bread and oil with seasoning was amazing to boot. However the two people I went with had less than great experience. One pasta dish was so sweet you could feel your glucose levels rising as you ate. The other dish tasted like it was cooked in a burnt pan. Every bite was like a mouthful of burnt toast. I loved my food but my guests were less than impressed. Not really the impression I wanted to leave for there first visit read more

The Margherita pizza was average. I wish it had been in the oven longer. The crust wasn't very crisp & the top still had liquid on it. Probably from the tomatoes. I also wish it would've had more basil on it. read more

They accommodated our big party of over 20 people so well! We were seated right away at our reservation time, water already on the table. The server, Dawn, was amazing and organized, took orders quickly and all the orders came out correctly and surprisingly fast for how big of a group we had. The food was SO GOOD! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

My first AND LAST visit to RedRosa in Pierre. I ordered a pretty vanilla meal right...lasagna to go and asked to be sure bread was included. The wait time was spot on, 20 minutes. When I returned to my room, surprise...what I thought would be pretty good pasta was Crappy at best and no bread. I'll let the photo of the bag speak for itself. This is in no way acceptable food at any standard! Refund Please! You guys actually get a zero rating. read more

It is a very nice place with plenty of room and a big bar. The cocktail list was great with a nice bourbon list. Menu was pretty eclectic and wouldn't describe it as Italian but the food was solid. We got the black and blue steak tips, pear and gorgonzola salad, sparkling chicken and mushroom pizza. All was good but the pizza was our favorite. Good crispy and charred crust and good flavor with the mushroom and cream sauce. I would definitely go back read more

Most like Macaroni Grill in ambience. Decent menu. My family of four visited on vacation. As with most restaurants in this part of the state, it could stand to include more non-meat items. That aside, we had a lovely meal: spicy black bean burger, cheese ravioli with shrimp, buffalo burger, and Caesar salad with salmon. Everything was cooked correctly and tasted amazing! We were fortunate enough to dine on a Sunday night, so we had BOGO house wine (not too shabby) and probably the best fresh loaf of bread with olive oil. Would definitely come back. read more

Chose Red because I could walk there from my hotel. I've been to Pierre many times, seen this place but never stopped in. Great looking place and was able to belly up right away. Service was slow but that's because the poor bartender was slammed and had no help. So I was ok with the delay. Food was good and the house wine (in a box!) was better than the premium bottle. read more

Very competent staff. Great food. They easily handled a group of 16 for us, no problems at all! Prompt courteous Service.

Their staff is awesome, their food is amazing & their prices are awesome! We love Red Rosa for all occasions.

My Appreciation of this restaurant has ebbed and flowed over the years. The happy hour and late night specials are awesome. The shrimp is probably my favorite. The wine is amazing, I've had a couple of really great gin and tonics there lately. It was awesome to see a familiar face with Aaron. He has been a server at other restaurants in town and always does an amazing job. Very happy to see him there. I tried for the first time this eggplant polenta thing for dinner. I can't pronounce it. At all. But it was beyond amazing. That was on a Sunday night. A couple Fridays ago I had a particularly early and rough flight back to town and the literal only thing that I felt like eating was the woodfired margherita pizza. Actually, I was on the fence between the mushroom pizza, chicken Alfredo, and marg, but I picked margherita. I wrote about this during another recent review, but as a frequent business traveler, it is so refreshing to be able to go to a restaurant and the food is consistent. It is the exact same way time after time. When you're staying in different cities and states and hotels week after week, it's hard to find that consistency. Especially after the long out-of-state trip, it was precisely what I needed. I also ordered the spinach artichoke dip while I waited, and a couple of those previously mentioned gin and tonics. The bartender was happy to make it with half tonic, half seltzer, to cut down on the calories of it, despite the fact that I had just ordered said spinach artichoke dip. Haha. Plus it was a bit early in the day to be drinking, but little did anyone know I had been up since about four and earned it with said turbulent flight. Lol There was no judgement expressed, at least not to my face. :) I didn't even touch my pizza as I was beyond full after the creamy, flavorful hot dip and bread, but I had it for dinner and late night snack later on in the day. The New Orleans inspired Mardi Gras menu looked pretty neat and I will probably make a point to go check that out soon. I don't know what type of balsamic the restaurant uses, but it's by far the best I've ever had. And I use a ton of it each trip. I do have to say that for a while a couple years ago or so, the restaurant was inconsistent and had some staffing issues, maybe but things have definitely turned around. I will say, however, that there was one night my boyfriend and I came in to eat the late night menu and it was about 8:45 PM, and there was not a hostess in sight for about ten mins. A lady who was on break did come help us though, which was nice. read more

RedRossa Italian Grille - A true friend reaches for your hand... ... and puts a glass of gin it. - Italian Near Me - Pierre, South Dakota

Had traveled to Pierre for a very special occasion - a naturalization ceremony - and was looking for a place to celebrate. The menu at RedRossa seemed to have something for everyone in our party, so we showed up relatively early (6:00 pm) on a Friday night to ensure a table. Not yet busy when we arrived so no problem being seated right away. Nice place. Waited 10 minutes, and no one had approached us - not even to drop off water. I flagged a young woman down and asked for a server. Another several minutes come by and the waitress approaches us and asks if we're ready to order. I said we'd like to have a drink first, and we ordered an appetizer. After about 7 minutes the bartender comes over to clarify the drink order. Another 5 minutes and the waitress comes back to drop off the drinks. Still no water. 10 minutes later she drops off the appetizer and the complimentary bread at the same time - fine. We had to ask for the water glasses to be filled (mind you, everyone else received water when they sat down.) We enjoy our cocktails and appetizer and signal for her that we are ready to order. She takes the entree orders and leaves without clearing the appetizer dishes, sauces, plates, etc. We pile the dirty dishes in the center of the table, so they won't be missed. 15 min later the entrees come out and she places them on the table on starts to leave. We ask her is she can please remove the dirty dishes so we have some room. She doesn't ask about refilling cocktails or waters, so we have to take that charge as well. Now normally someone would come back in 5 minutes to see how everything is. Nope. Not here. We finish our dinners and wait. And wait. (The food was delicious, btw - thank you, kitchen staff.) Don't see our waitress anywhere. I'm so annoyed I get up and make my way to the waitress stand and find the manager with three wait staff at a register. I tell them that we are ready for the check and have not seen our waitress. 5 minutes later ( not right away) the manager approaches the table and apologizes, explaining the waitress had to leave for an emergency and that she dropped the ball - which I appreciated. She returns with the check and had taken 20% off the bill. Not at all the special occasion we had envisioned. Would never go back. I recommend Dusty's where we had a lovely meal and excellent service the night before. read more

Best Italian food I've ever had! Only thing I didn't like was on my date with my boyfriend is that we never got bread and sat at the table hungry for 45 minutes. But the food was good when we got it. read more

If alone, not a great option. As I write my review while sitting at the bar, I'm frustrated. The bar tender has yet to crack a smile towards a customer. I ate close enough to the speed station to overhear the other waitstaff. I overheard them complain about their job and mock a customer encounter I saw walking in the door. A patron politely walked up to a waitress and asked for mayo. I overheard the waitress complain, mock the customer, and say she "quit." If your waitstaff feels this way about customers, I'd say it's for the best. Imagine how long the customer must have waited to feel the need to walk away from her food and table to ask for a condiment. Perhaps of this waitress wasn't standing by the bar complaining, she'd not receive such requests. The bartender abandoned the bar to change a Stella keg, which, for the record, was sold out. I watched as several patrons at the bar, including myself, waited for service. The bartender did not ask how my food was until it was far gone and my plate was taken, by another waitress. It seems groups were having a good time. The nachos I ordered were good; the Long Island's pour-counts were spot on. With a boost of employee morale, this could be a great restaurant. read more

This is your less than average steam-table line cook style restaurant, or so the results of the outcome of the food show it profoundly. I've been here 4 times within a short amount of time in between one another, the outcome of the food has been the same; blah in taste, not much past luke-warm in temperature, and when brought to the attention of staff, you can assuredly tell the kitchen staff did nothing more than, warm the same plate up in a microwave, as the food was no improvement in flavor, and was certainly rubbery, or harder in texture. Although the wait-staff was apologetic, the supervising staff was certainly unwilling to make it right, to make any one visit at least remotely a pleasant one. Red Rossa is definitely a restaurant in Pierre to avoid, as there are more appealing options available, at least 5 restaurants that surpasses Red Rossa by astronomical leaps and bounds. Save your money, and make another selection for yourself, family, or friends. I must add, the hours of service were not during peak hours, in fact, they were in between 2:30 pm- 4pm, simply stating for the record. Lastly, I fully understand people have bad days, but to have experience this consistently throughout each visit, it'll be an enormous "no thank you". read more

My sister and I were staying at the adjoining hotel, absolutely starving and disappointed by the looks of all other dinner options in Pierre, so we were recommended this place by a local and were totally satisfied. The drinks were yummy- strawberry iced tea and peach iced tea. You don't see that every day. Not too sweet, just right. We ordered the spicy chicken and shrimp pasta- substitute linguini instead of penne like me :) and my sister was happy with her chop salad and creamy savory tomato bisque. Almost forgot- bruschetta for our appetizer which was gorgeous and tasted gorgeous too. Happy eaters. Would go back again read more
