Came in for HH and was seated right away. Ordered the HH bottle and board and it was pretty good. We also ordered the zucchini chips and the focaccia. The zucchini chips were good but a little greasy. Focaccia was a good sized portion and pretty tasty. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and inviting! Overall a good experience! read more

To start, my wife arrived first, was sat, but nobody gave her any attention until I arrived. Our table had no silverware. We ordered the meatball appetizer, which was great. But we didn't see anyone for silverware for 5 more minutes. Cocktails took 10 minutes and arrived well after our appetizer. The Linguine Carrettiera (add chicken) is absolutely fantastic...but very spicy. We ran out of water. Everyone else had a bottle of water on their table except us. Finally saw our waiter and asked for water. He came back, filled my glass, but didn't top up my wife's glass which was almost empty. Constantly bothered by fruit flies. We were seated in the corner at a round table. Feels like we didn't get the attention we wanted. read more

I went into Rosso not expecting what I was about to experience. I am from Vegas and we have some very good Italian restaurants but none of them could compare to the authentic Italian food at Rosso's. We had one of the friendliest servers, Sara who made the experience that much better. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. You can not go wrong by dining here it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Rosso staff for making us feel at home. read more

My daughter and I ate at Rossi on Friday night just before heading to the watch the Phoenix Suns game. We told the restaurant we were in kind of a rush and needed to eat quickly. Our waiter Tommi took our order expeditiously and we were in and out in 30 minutes. The food was delicious, the ambience was perfect and our service was great. This was my third time eating here and the food is always consistently delicious. I highly recommend eating here if in the area and want Italian food. read more

I found this place a little odd -- some aspects seem finer dining, some super casual -- but it's absolutely a spot worth being on your list for dinner before downtown events. Our server was great and they have the handheld payment machine AND the payment QR on the receipt, so splitting up payments as a group was quick and easy. I'm not big on Italian wines so had a non-Italian red he recommended and it was nice. All of the glass wine prices were reasonable. We had some pizzas and salad and everything was good. I tried a bit of the short rib appetizer a friend ordered and would definitely have that again. read more

This is such a nice quiet place for some authentically delicious Italian cuisine. I had the cacio e pepe and it was simply delicious, not overdoing it with extras but just plain good. We got the bruschetta appetizer and I would order it again just to get the mushroom flavor! I'm not even a huge fan of mushrooms but it was savory and satisfying. The Tuscan chicken and parm were ordered by others in my party and they were played beautifully and had great reviews from them. The service was quicker than we thought as we planned for less time before our event. I would recommend to others going to the area next time and would mind going back to the other menu items. read more

Food was good for the price. The only thing is I ordered zucchini fries and they where a little burned but everything else was great!

Came here prior to an event service was good waitress was busy and only came to check on us once. When she did, we mentioned that the charcuterie board had lots of jams and spreads but no bread or crackers to spread it on. She said that does not come with bread or crackers and that you have to order a side order of bread if you want bread. To me this makes no sense, especially if the board has at least two spreadable cheeses and three different jams or spreads. The short rib polenta was very good as well as the whipped Ricota and honey. My suggestion for the charcuterie board is to either have it come with a side of bread or inform anyone who is ordering it that it does not come with bread and ask if they would like to order a side of bread at that time. Overall, the service was OK. We expected it to be busy. read more

OK place for a fast dinner before a downtown event, but not a destination. Made a reservation for our group of 8 on a Sunday night. The hostess and server who took our order were both friendly. But after that, the service was a little crazy. The food came out really fast, all at once. We got appetizers, salads, pasta, pizzas all delivered to the table at one time. All the food delivered before we had even gotten the drinks we ordered. The servers stood there akwardly trying to figure out how to make the plates fit, but didn't stop to think if maybe they should have just slowed their roll. Food was ok but pro tip, unless you are in a big hurry, ask them to bring the food in courses or maybe order a little bit at a time. We were seated, served, and done eating in 30 minutes. Food was overall ok. Bruschetta had ok toppings but the bread was really soft. House salad was basic, though the greens were fresh. Beet salad was a bit more interesting. Gnocchi burrata were cooked well, but the sauce was a little flat. Caccio e pepe was excellent, truly. We ordered a few orders to share and the serving sizes were significantly different from one plate to the next. Meat eaters in the group liked the Diavolo pizza but the margherita was undercooked and doughy, not nearly as good as versions we've had at Pomo on many occasions. We ordered tiramisu to share- it's huge and tastsy, but the experience was so odd. The server who delivered it asked if we wanted spoons.... um, yes, or maybe we were supposed to eat with our hands? He delivered two huge serving spoons- not really good for eating. It gave us a good laugh. The dining room is loud, food is ok, fine option if you are looking for a fast bite. Definitely recommend the cacio e pepe read more

Incredible pasta. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Our large group made two table reservations and were able to be seated right next to each other right on time. My table ended up ordering seven dishes for five: - Shrimp and calamari fritters - Creamy polenta short rib (best appetizer!) - Gramigna saliccia (best pasta!) - Roasted chicken - Pork chop milanese (best entree!) - Baked maccheroni - Tagliatelle short rib The pasta was cooked to *perfection.* I especially loved the gramigna saliccia, which was creamy, balanced with mushrooms, and the perfect texture to bite. I'd also highly recommend the creamy polenta short rib as an appetizer. The short rib in any of their dishes was super tender. If you didn't want to order quite as much, I'd skip the shrimp/calamari (which was half non-seafood fillers) and the roasted chicken (which was well-cooked but underseasoned). Make sure to park in the Cityscape public parking garage to get free validation for two hours! read more

We really enjoyed our date here! A couple things to note: they do validate parking from cityscape garage for 2 hours. Also, happy hour on their website says daily 3-6, however upon arriving we learned it is actually only M-F 3-6 and only in the bar and patio area. Luckily the manager honored HH for us since the website wasn't updated accordingly, which we appreciated and enjoyed the board and bottle deal for $25! We also had delicious burrata spicy pepp honey pizza and their special pasta with sausage mushroom cream sauce. We opted for the cheesecake and it was terrible, so pass on that or try a diff dessert! Overall, happy with our date night. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner while we were in the area. Perfect location for when there are games happening as it's close to the venue. Since there wasn't a game on the day that we went, there was no problem with seating. We ordered a few appetizers and pastas. The zucchini chips were so thinly sliced they melted in your mouth and were delicious. Taste wise I preferred the Parmesan fries. I wasn't thrilled with my cacio e Pepe as it was incredibly salty, but the pasta itself was cooked well. Everyone else at my table seemed to enjoy their meals. The owner came by to tell us their spot just opened so good luck to the business! read more

I was really excited to try this place, and I know people love it... but it just wasn't my favorite. I usually like the crust on Italian, wood fired styled pizza and this one didn't do it for me. It annoys me a little when I try to grab a slice and all the toppings slide off, so it wasn't the best intro for me. The pizza itself was average for me. The pasta was pretty good but nothing stood out to be versus a vodka pasta I'd get from any other place. I also had the tiramisu and did like this. I think overall, parking is difficult in downtown (they do validate for the cityscape garage). I do live in downtown but it's difficult to navigate. Overall, it just wasn't worth the headache for me to get downtown to come back there. There was nothing bad about the experience but also just nothing that stood out. read more

We had dinner here before a Suns game. I'd recommend reservations as it's on smaller side and gets busy. There is also outdoor and bar seating. The pizza, pasta and short rib polenta were all good. Polenta/Short Rib being the best. Service was slow at first, but got better. read more

Food was ok but I would not recommend the zucchini chips they were burnt and tasted like burnt dust and overly salty. Service was slow and we had to ask 4 times to have our steaks were going to come out took close to 30 minutes to finally have them ready. The wine selection was great and server was knowledgeable about the wines. Ambiance was nice we were seated outside, inside the restaurant music way to loud and way to hot read more

We were considering the options in Phoenix since we haven't been here, and Italian came to mind. Then my mom saw the pictures of the food here at Rosso and was hooked. The manager, Fabio, told us to wait after we were told no more walk-ins. He got us the farthest booth for 5 when there were only 4 of us! The lighting is wonderful and it's not too loud. Also, our waitress was wonderful! The food was extraordinary! And Fabio even gave us a Tiramisu on him since we hadn't tried it yet... spoiler... it was delicious so we ordered one to-go! Amazing looking restaurant, amazing atmosphere, kind and lovely waiters, waitresses, and Fabio the manager. 11/10 all around! GO HERE! read more

Horrible service from the time we walked in the door. Receptionist was borderline clueless. That was just the start. There were 4 of us. My wife and I asked to split a wedge salad. No problem. Unlike every other restaurant, it comes on one plate, a little blue cheese. Ordered a bottle of wine. 10 minutes later I asked the waiter where it was. He imply says we are out of that wine. I them ask for a glass of wine, 10 minutes later it shows up. Food took 45 minutes, it was luke warm at best. Too many other issues to list. Our waiter was beyond clueless. Never again.... read more

Great food and service. We were early for dinner so our waitress set us up with an appetizer and drinks to wait for dinner time.

Was in town food was amazing. Great service and very nice patio. Was much true Italian taste and excellent.

We (party of 8) were seated quickly despite there being a lot of tourism in the area due to a conference. The servers were attentive and friendly, she got our drink order and half of our food order in and rapidly served us! The rest of our party ordered a bit later, but one members meatball order took absolutely forever to come out (I think they forgot about him). The pizza was good, I got Margherita. My friends were all happy with the taste of their food (but did not like the cous cous )! read more

The food was really good. It tasted pretty authentic, as a person with celiac disease, their Italian flour did not mess my stomach up. Food made it a great experience. The restaurant was hot, we sat in a two top table that was very squished and tight. And our waitress was so sweet but very slow.. read more

The food here was so good I literally didn't get photos (sorry but not really) I've spent a lot of time in Italy for an American but I gotta say their pasta is top notch! My friend had the chicken pesto panini and she raved about it! The service was very European, they don't come check on you a bunch they expect you to relax and chill and that's how it is overseas so if you're looking for a server up your booty asking you every couple minutes if you need anything don't come here! The restaurant was cool not cold like I said they want you to relax and enjoy yourself which I totally did! The music was there but not too loud to have to yell or feel any silence and the water was super tasty which seems like it should be a given but in AZ you never know!! Definitely recommend you come to get some good Italian! read more

Skip this place! Horrible service! No AC! It was empty at 230pm on a Thursday and we walked in to enjoy some drinks and the female bartender was rude and the worst service we have ever had. I'm sorry, your place is empty and you don't want some bar sales on the books? I get you didn't want multiple checks but you rolled your eyes at us from the minute I walked in the door solo. I will tell ALL my coworkers at cityscape to skip your restaurant. arrogant butcher happily accommodated us and treated us amazing. Owners/mgmt- you have problems! Fix the service Fix the damn AC read more

First impression was pretty good for an Italian restaurant downtown at a reasonable price. Staff was friendly and communicated well. We weren't pressed for time but did have a timeline to be at a comedy show and never once had to request something be done quickly to help us out. Food was good wife and I split the brussel sprouts and gnocchi. Our friends shared the Calamari and New York strip. We all enjoyed it and would definitely return, it was a solid place that did the little things well. Hope they have a happy hour that would definitely bring us back way more often read more

Great little spot in downtown Phoenix. Love the lighting and the decor and not to mention this place was conveniently next to my hotel. Food: the grilled focaccia was great, a little Smokey flavor and a delicious pesto sauce. The beef carpaccio ohh so delicious. I did ask for a little lemon but that's just preference. Love the flavor of the arugula. The Cacio Pepe was good, had it both nights. Overall a good little spot if you are in the area. The service could have been better. I sat at the bar with only one other person, it wasn't a busy night but still needed to be hunting the bartender/waitress. They were nice just not as attentive. The first night service was better. read more

I wanted to try this place because I love pomo pizza but sadly it didn't stack up for me. We ordered zucchini chips but they delivered focaccia bread instead - not a terrible mess up since it was really good! Then we ordered two pastas that were very heavy and too oily for me. Service was good (minus the app mess up). And location is in a great spot close to the suns arena and baseball stadium. read more

My friend is in town and she went to get some things on a walk. She called me saying she was stopping here for some food, I got the short rib pasta and caprese salad. It was good but needed a tad bit more sauce. The caprese was super good, the pesto was great. My friend got the caprese salad and said the location was cute. Apparently, there were a bunch of cute Italian dudes there offering her shots so I told her to be careful and have fun, who I think she mentioned owned the place. She came back with all the food and we had a delightful floor party! read more

It's 500 feet from footprint center. Not only was there a concert tonight but a baseball game. The place was packed And I was glad that we had made reservations online a few days before as there was no non-reservation seating available due to not only the concert that we were attending that a sports game. Despite it being crowded with lots and lots of people, our food was outstanding and arrived at our table with in five minutes of ordering. And our waitress, Sierra, was exceptional. On top of our table, quickly bringing us whatever we needed so we could wrap up and get to the show, very friendly. This is now my go to restaurant when I'm in downtown Phoenix for a show. Highly recommend! read more

Love atmosphere and food is good. My issue is service. I asked for the bill as it was my treat and the server announced the amount to the table. I was not given a receipt to review, just a hand held machine, when I asked for the bill, the waiter quickly scrolled through on device. The tip options were 20,25 and 30 percent. Now minimum wage for servers, and yes I have been one, is now $11.70 and hour which has increased costs...that I tip on! What really prompted this review is that the device calculates the tip AFTER TAX...why am I tipping on tax? Deceptive practices, unethical read more

We walked in and were about to be seated when we asked if the AC was broken because of the huge floor fans blowing. The hostess proceeded to tell us they don't have AC. They've NEVER had AC in the unit. Like what??!! She said never had a unit in the summer or winter which is why it's hot in the summer and super cold in the winter time. How is this even legal? And in AZ with 120 degrees. She said it's ok if you want to leave. Lots of ppl do when they find out there's no AC. Well now we understood why it was empty. read more

We had 15 people. Service was good, but all the food came at the same time. 1. Some food was cold. They re-did it, and it was good. 2. No bread must be ordered separately. 3. Soups took the longest to get. 4. Don't bring your wine. It is not allowed. 5. A bit noisy, so difficult to talk. 6. Bristles took the longest to get. 7. Substitutions not recommended. 8. All the people in our party said that the food was excellent. read more
