Food was good, I say at the bar and for some reason they couldn't get their order of service right with me. I was there for 10 minutes before the bartender greeted me, then I ordered and got my food but had no silverware or napkin. Food was good, pizza was delicious and the crust was crisp and chewy in all the right ways. Decent wine list. Maybe a less busy time would have been better, but I would be willing to try them again. read more

If you want the avant garde bullshit of a meal with no seasoning besides salt and pepper, this is the place. Nothing wrong with the restaurant or people, food was just ass. Place was cool tho. Probably would not recommend unless you have f**k you money to spend. Thanks for the service. read more

We are at Rosso Italian Restaurant the place is clean and orderly, We got seated by the hostess, then waitress came and took our drink order and they were cold and good. We ordered our appetizer. I really loved all the different kind of meats and cheeses. It's one of my favorite foods. Then my Son ordered Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe, he had this before in Italy and really really loved it, but this time it was very, very dry. I believe it was from the kind of cheese it was put into it. Unfortunately, we did not eat it so we ordered Maccheroni Ai Forno, it comes in an iron skillet, noodles in a red sauce with very little sausage pieces . When manager heard about us not liking Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe, he came over and took it from our table and told us and waitress He was taking it off our bill. That was very kind of him. If you like Italian Food this the place to come and try. read more

Made reservations to celebrate a birthday. The service was weird. When I say weird the sever was trying to take drinks and food orders from from what seemed like across the room. We had to yell our order to him. Instead of walking around the table to stand closer to us. Then he would have us pass along the drinks and have us pass along the food instead of walking around the side and placing the food down. The sever had no personality no smile nothing and he constantly interrupted our conversation. The meatball app was salty the Caesar salad was good but all the pasta dishes were terrible the pasta was crunchy and just not a lot of flavor. I really have no idea how this place has over 3 star rating. Here is what I do NOT recommend: Bruschetta Trio Meatballs Salmon Tartare Gramigna Boscaiola Tagliatelle short rib I didn't take any photos because nothing was worth taking a picture. read more

This place is located right around the corner from footprint center, so we came after a game. Unfortunately it was very close to close so we felt a little rushed with ordering. The vibe is new fusion italian I think, which was interesting but unfortunately it felt the pasta was undercooked. We got the short rib as well and that felt dry and stringy. Not my favorite Italian place. read more

What mostly was frustrating here was the hidden automatic 20% gratuity. I tipped my bill per usual and was upset to find the additional gratuity. I expect that for a larger party but for 2 people? There also were gnats everywhere. Very frustrating. We had to find a host to seat us after walking up and down the restaurant 2 times to get assistance. The food was not worth the prices, it was all just okay. Very disappointing experience read more

Amazing dining experience Rosso Italian is a great addition to downtown Phoenix area. The restaurant was lively, the food was amazing, the service is spot on, and the atmosphere is one of a kind. On this visit we shared two different pasta dishes, Tagliatelle Short Ribs/Gnocchi Burrata, Grilled Foccacia Bread with House Pesto, and a few cocktails and all were excellent, absolutely delicious. The entrees are full of flavor; perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, you can taste the passion in their craft with every bite. I really enjoyed the grilled foccacia bread and house made pesto. I could have easily ate it all, but decided to share. Rosso Italian has all the qualities of a high end restaurant without a high price tag and the service is phenomenal. Our server was so welcoming and attentive throughout the night. He always made sure we were taken care of and that we were enjoying our dining experience. We finished the night off with Tiramusu and Cannolis for dessert, some of the best cannolis I've had in a while. I can't wait to revisit and try the Margherita Pizza, Roasted Chicken, and Tuna Tartare. Awesome atmosphere, great food, and exceptional service. I had an amazing dining experience and would highly recommend Rosso Italian. We loved the food so much and can't wait to go back! read more

Very nice ambiance and the outside dining was surprisingly comfortable on a hot Phoenix afternoon. The misters were a nice touch. I tried the meatball panini sandwich and a salad for lunch and it was very tasty. Thanks for a nice lunch and a chance to people watch while downtown. read more

We had to find menus from our neighboring table, brought us water and initial drink we were never asked again about beverages.

ROSSO ITALIAN is located in downtown Phoenix. This restaurant is part of the Pomo Restaurant group. Pomo restaurants are well known for serving the best Italian pizzas that you can't get anywhere else in Arizona and Pomo also is well known for their amazing house made gelato (especially the luna flavor). We started out with a beet salad. It was very good. The beet chips in it were a nice touch. The salad was cleared maybe before we put our forks down and as fast as lightening our next plate arrived. We also shared the spaghetti cacio and pepe. The pasta was perfection and for people that love cacio pepe this might be the finest one out there because it contains five roasted varieties of peppercorns. Each bite does taste different. If you are sensitive some of the bites might be too much pepper for you. Again the plates were cleared lightening fast and our dinners were instantly ready for us. I ordered the grilled wild salmon. I usually order pizza at Pomo but I have had the salmon at least three times from Pomo and from Pomo the Chula salmon is always like fish house quality prepared. Maybe it was too early in the evening for the kitchen to be in the grove of things but the fish was cooked uneven. Part was well done and the other side was over cooked. They also didn't remove the bloodline. The rest of the plate was fine. Our server did check on us and I did tell her about the fish and she did offer to replace it. I declined because the fish was edible. Then the manager also came over and also offered to replace it and again I declined. I used to work in restaurants. I can't ever send food back because I've seen the derangement that goes on in some kitchens when food gets sent back. My husband stayed really quiet but then had trouble cutting his pork chop with a butter knife because it was also over cooked. We didn't want to complain about this too. I was full and I didn't need dessert but I did want to see what Rosso offers because the desserts at Pomo are always worth the calories. Our server didn't offer dessert and just asked us if we wanted anything else. Parking is easy at the garage and be sure to get your parking ticket validated. At this time ROSSO ITALIAN Restaurant has only been open a few days and might be still adjusting things. They do have potential. I think that Yelp should add a special addition to their rating system for new restaurants. Because sometimes new restaurants need a few weeks to work out things. But we don't have this choice at this time so..... Three stars is a positive review and according to Yelp translates to A-OK. read more

I arrived about 30 mins early before our group's reservation so I went to check out the bar while I waited. I got the last seat available in the left corner of the bar, completely out of sight and thought of the bartenders. There were 2 ladies seated beside me and they warned me that it takes forever to get noticed on this side. And they were correct. After 3 failed attempts to politely get the bartenders' attention, I finally had to raise my voice a bit to call out to them. Once I was able to place my order, it still took what was left of my extra time to finally get my drink. All in all, from the moment I sat down and until I got my drink, it took roughly 35 mins. By the time I received my Vita en rose cocktail, my party has arrived and I paid and went to our table. (Side note, the drink was not a good drink. It tasted like a sugary cough syrup.) Now, onto the dining: the food was phenomenally delicious, but the portions were very small. We were a table of 5 and we shared 2 appetizers, 3 pasta dishes, and 2 entrees (the roasted chicken and the Pork Milanese). While everything tasted great, we left $217 lighter and still hungry (we actually ended up at a second restaurant that night to fill in the gaps). The dining room service was much better than the bar's service. The wait staff were very quick in bringing our food and clearing our plates. All things considered and with such an abundance of other options in Downtown Phoenix, I most likely won't be back due to the price point and small portions. read more

I want to preface and say that this place is still in their soft opening so they are not currently serving their full menu. It is part of the Pomo Group and Pomo is one of my favorites for both pasta and pizza. Get the focaccia!! It was delicious. The homemade pesto was so fresh and vibrant and the bread perfectly toasted. The fusollini rosso was so simple but so tasty. The pork chop was good, but not amazing and the part near the bone didn't look completely cooked. But the salad that went with it was a bright surprise. Both the drinks were unique and our server made a great suggestion in the five families and the cannoli on the Luna latte was a fun twist. I can't wait to go back once they are fully open and try all of the other plates that I saw on Yelp and Instagram that aren't available yet. read more

Meet some colleagues for a business dinner. It was crowded, but not crazy packed. The outside was full, but there were tables inside. We started with a Panzanella salad and an Aurora pizza. Both were very good. The pizza is one that does not have red sauce on it, but we loved it. We decided to do a bit of family style eating and shared the pork chop, Gramigna Boscaiola, and the Maccheroni Al Forno. All were very well made and good sized portions. The wine list is good as well - most of the reds were under $50. Can't remember the two we tried, but they were around $40 and good. I will be returning. N*joy... read more

Really wanted to give this place a 5 star rating, but was unable to due to the following: Building was warm inside. Apparently they are aware of the problem as they had several portable "swamp coolers" running inside. The pastas that we ordered were both heavily salted and ruined what was a delicious sauce. Portions were small for the $$ amount. Some bread with our pastas also would have been nice. Staff was very attentive and nice I do highly recommend the Whipped ricotta with focaccia bread! I will definitely give the restaurant another try when the weather is a bit cooler. read more

Went in with a party of five on a Thursday night had a reservation which was probably not needed Employees were nice and friendly, service was very slow, I ordered spaghetti and meat balls, when the server brought it, he said they were out of meatballs so they put sausage instead. It wasn't terrible but given a choice I would have changed my order. Two other people also had weird substitutions, didn't seem like the servers and kitchen were connecting. I would probably try it again but be a little more instructive in my order. In read more

Great service, great ambiance, and good food. Also some really swell fellow customers to eat beside.

Honestly, some of the most disappointing pasta I've had at a restaurant in a long while. I'm surprised there are so many glowing reviews of this place, which is why we dined here in the first place! I got the Fussiloni Rosso and it looked great in the pictures but the sauce in my actual dish came out very watery. That's never supposed to happen with a good pasta dish! I tried my wife's Cacio e Pepe as well and the consistency didn't taste right either. read more

Food was okay but the biggest issue is how Absolutley uncomfortable it is, id be better off outside than inside because of how hot it is in there.. I see multiple replies to these reviews regarding this same issue from management and everytime it was stated it would be addressed.. well that was a year ago. And yet here we are AC is still an issue.. ruined the entire experience a year of the same issue is not excusable. read more

Fabio!!!!! Great service and even better food! Never a bad experience at Rosso's! The gnocci is my personal recommendation, but honestly, any of the pasta on the menu is AMAZING!!! read more

I was excited to try this restaurant as we had heard decent things. We were seated after only a short wait past our reservation time. Hostess was pleasant and efficient in handling a mild rush at the door. Server took a long time to acknowledge us, but was very pleasant when he got around to our table. Much after that was disappointing, particularly for this price point and this restaurant's relations to the Pomo group which we really like. First, the iced tea came out like light yellow water--reminiscent of, you know... When I asked the waiter if it was always like that, he said yes, the machine adds too much water. The best dish of the evening was the short rib pasta--flavorful, albeit a little salty. The roast chicken was average. The pork chop was overcooked and under seasoned except for an extreme amount of salt on top. I asked for some red sauce to try and cut the saltiness. They had the nerve to charge several dollars for a small ramekin--again, at this price point not appreciated. Not nearly worth the trip or the money. Stick to other Pomo spots. read more

Stopped here for dinner before the Eagles concert. The place gets very packed! Luckily we had a reservation but we were early and decided to sit at the bar instead. The food was great. The pizza was amazing. The Caesar salad was good but nothing to call home about. I usually am not a fan of the crust but the crust on this pizza was so light and airy I devoured it. We also ordered some cannoli. They were on the small side but omg... amazing!! The cannoli come with 3 small cannolis, chocolate, cherry and pistachio. All of them were so light and airy and so flavorful. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because of the dirty ladies restroom. I went in to wash my hands and there was a mess. Pieces of paper towel on the floor and no toilet seat barriers. It also looks like the feminine products disposal container was either broken or completely taped closed. Couldn't really tell. Other than that it's a pretty good dining spot. The rest of the place was very tidy and the staff cleaned up quickly after every guest. read more

BEWARE OF ANITA!!! she will give you terrible service but be sure to add on that 20% auto grad! myself and 4 of my other waitresses friends went out for dinner and drinks one night and we were so shocked at how Anita was treating us. she seemed very annoyed that we were there. and kept leaving the table before anyone had finished ordering. on-top of her terrible attitude i even got one of her hairs in my dinner. YUM. she didn't hesitate to give the table next to us great service but we just didn't seem worth it to her. we were shocked to learn that an " large party" auto gratuity of 20% was added to our bill. we stopped a host and asked what would be a large party and he said 12. Anita cut him off and said no 4 is a large party?! over all the food (without anita's hair) was okay but not worth how she treated us. do better anita read more

The food at this restaurant is DELICIOUS! The service has always been pretty personalize and we get recommendations when we need that something to push us in one direction or another. The ambiance is nice too! I have been for lunch and I have been for dinner. Recently, it was a birthday dinner for my Auntie. It is always quiet, nice mood music and you are able to conversate in this place. For lunch, it was just me and my cousin. Most people are at the bar or on the patio. Our next place to sit is the patio and eat good food, have nice drinks and people watch. Although, I recommend not sitting close to the street where folks are walking...it can get unsavory. I will go back again and again. The drinks, dessert, ALL good and tasty! A NICE neighborhood gem, for sure! It is not pricey either, for 3 2 drinks, 2 salads, 3 entrees, $99 including tip. read more

If I could give the service staff from the host stand all the way through dinner service and bartenders 5 stars but the food 1 star..... I would. The 1 star is 100% for the food. I'm not a picky eater, rarely ever complain or post reviews but I couldn't let this one go. It was close to inedible. Appetizer, caprese salad. A few paper thin tomatoes with mozzarella, but the pesto was so salty you couldn't eat it. The short rib and pasta was so salty, again, couldn't really eat it. The pasta was complete rubber. The NY Strip was ordered medium rare, came out well done (gray). Potato wedges were so overcooked they were almost burned. Again, so salty you could barely eat it. They put a pile of rock salt beside the steak as....garnish. We tried each others dishes to make sure it wasn't "must just be me" and it wasn't. The kitchen needs some help. The service was great and the atmosphere on the patio was wonderful. This place has so much potential. The cooks are struggling. Go somewhere else. Our bill was $114 for two (before tip) and that was easily $85 more than that meal was worth. Maybe the saving grace is that if you go on a non-concert or non-event night, the kitchen isn't overwhelmed and it's way better. read more
