My wife and I happened to be staying at nearby Wiesbaden Army Barracks for a night. Do to everything betting fried and disgusting she couldn't eat anything at the bowling alley near the lodging facility. Not wanting to let her down, we took to the streets of the local town to find sustenance. After trying to find any open and non-shady looking sushi restaurant she happened to see the sign for Rossini at the end of a hotel. Curious and hungry (we had just flown in from Miami) we stepped into the quaint little restaurant hoping for the best (did I mention neither of us speak German).
As our server approached and greeted us for the evening. I asked if he spoke English or Spanish as my wife is fluent in both and I'm at a fairly rudimentary, but working, level. He said he spoke Italian so we began our adventure. I told him that it was my wife's first night ever in Europe so he took it upon himself to make our night memorable.
First our waiter brought us two glasses of prosecco and two focaccia cheese pieces. My wife then ordered a glass and it was huge. After talking to us about what we like and don't like, he custom created some meals for both of us. She had a chicken salad and I had a steak and arugula pizza. Both of our plates were great and did not leave us wanting. After completing our meals my wife mentioned how she loves Italian gelato. Not wanting to disappoint, our server had one of their desserts with a Napoleon like, chocolate and a pistachio gelatto rushed out. Ooh my God was it good!
Obviously, to say the food and service was great does not do it justice. We had such a good time that I felt the only way to repay the favor was to write a review here.
I also wanted to add that by the end of the night their staff was pretty fluent in English. I think was the typical of you try for me we'll try for you so don't let that limit you. read more
