    Don't forget the olives
    E L.

    Wonderful experience in every way, the pizza is made fresh with lots of unique toppings, and you can get vegan cheese! The drinks are to die for from non alcoholic ones made with fresh herbs and grapes, to wonderful alcoholic drinks that are superb! For olive lovers, don't forget to order the olives before your meal... they start the night off right! Love the ambience here, it's cozy and yet upscale! The owner is a hard worker and friendly. He can be having the worst day getting curveballs thrown at him, and yet still be professional, joyful, and friendly. He's the reason this business thrives! Don't forget to visit their sister company, Bianco (for the pasta options), and be sure to make a reservation before (for the best experience). Hope you have the best time making new memories with family and friends, at locally owned businesses, who deserve the business.

    Rosso Pizzeria on 109 Street (just south of the High Level Bridge)had been for a very long time a restaurant I wanted to go to and try out their pizza!! It was definitely worth the wait - I had the margarita pizza, which was thin crust and fire baked, was absolutely amazing and delicious!!! Definitely my kind of pizza. I had a cappuccino and a gelato for desert. The drink menu is very complete, just as the food menu is; salads, pizza and pastas, as well as a full gelato bar and flavours to choose from. Last but not least, service was very good, friendly, professional and fast. The inside is very charming, well lit and not too loud, and the terrace in the summer is quite nice (I've never sat on the terrace, but people I've seen did seem to enjoy)!! I look forward to going again!!

    Weekly special, Margherita pizza and Pollo Tropicale pizza

    I have to say, the pizza is ELITE and the portions for the pasta (weekly special) was very huge and filling. The tables were a little small and tight that sometimes we can overhear the conversations from others but other than that, the pollo tropical pizza and classic margherita pizza was top tier. Would come again.

    I love the vibe, presentation, menu, and staff at Rosso! The hunnybunny has been digging on their pizza, and keto me has been going after their rapini e salsiccia (broccoli and sausage). There's a great selection of pizza (each as flavorful as the last) as well as salads and other healthies. The owner is personable and the staff have been prompt, conversational, and quick to return food from the pass. The kitchen has occasionally been slammed, as happens, but the results have been worth the wait. (Strangely, there's no bread and butter offered here.) One star taken off because of the on-going perception that it's just a bit too pricey; we can't shake the feeling, and it retards our return rate, and that's not a nice thing.

    I don't go for pizza very often because the options aren't that great in town but hey, might as well continue the search right? Cue in Rosso Pizzeria which specializes in thin crust pizzas. We came on a Sunday for dinner and I was surprised to see that the place was busy. The inside is sleek, urban and modern and you can peer into the back to see the pizza oven. The bar is stuck smack in the middle of the restaurant; it gives off a segregated, almost cramped feel to things, which is quite unfortunate. There's a display case up front that houses a few pastries and gelato. Oh man, GELATO! You can even get it to go in two container sizes ($12.00 small and $22.00 large) - Mozzarella bufala ($15.00) - I wish they would have warmed up and toasted the crostini. The mozzarella bufala was smooth but you only get four pieces. For the price, I'd pass on it. - Margherita ($14.00) - the margherita tells a lot about whether a pizzeria is legit. Rosso's version was decent but the middle of the pizza was soggy and the sauce wasn't balanced. - Funghi misti ($17.00) - you can instantly taste the white truffle oil, which everyone loved. - Kale saltati ($16.50) - the artichoke was nicely roasted and added a sweetness to the pizza. The ricotta didn't add much though, it was almost tasteless. - Di mama ($16.50) - this one was more "herby" but I appreciated the balance in flavours. The crust for all the pizzas were light, crispy and had a good chewy texture to them. Only the margherita was soggy in the middle but I wish they had spread out the pizzas more evenly for us rather than all four pizzas coming out at once. They get cold fast. - Coconut, cherry garcia and pistachio gelato ($4.75 small and $6.25 large + $0.75 for waffle cone) - we decided to all get gelato. Best decision ever. I counted 14 types and we sampled a couple before deciding. Finally a solid place to get dessert! The pistachio was unreal and I was pleasantly surprised by my cherry garcia. You can tell the gelato is freshly made with real ingredients. I tasted real pieces of coconut, cherry and pistachio in each flavour. Excellent. While the food was good, like everything in Edmonton, Rosso Pizzeria is overpriced. Their lunch pizzetta deal ($9.50) is half size but much more reasonable. Other than that, go and get the gelato. Perfect spot to grab dessert! I'll be back for that. 3.5 stars.

    This little place near UofA has authentic style thin crust Italian pizza as well as a variety of other options. They have a small parking lot that fills up quickly, so you will probably have to park elsewhere during busy hours. I came for lunch on a Saturday and decided to try the pizza which I'd heard was great. It's about a 12 inch size so great to share, or plenty of leftovers. They also serve teas from Remedy Cafe across the street. I tried the Di Mama pizza with added hot Italian sausage; it was very good, but it was also $21.50 which is a bit steep in my opinion. Blaze pizza is comparable quality, albeit less authentic Italian style, for almost half that price. I would probably try this place again if I'm in the area but I think I would try something other than the pizza; in my opinion it's good, but just not worth that price.

    This is my second time going to Rosso Pizzeria for dinner & it didn't disappoint! My friend and I headed there after work. Parking can be an issue but I'm usually able to find street parking a few blocks away. I really enjoy Rosso as it has a laid back vibe and grabbing a table isn't an issue. We ordered two pizzas - Funghi Misti & Prosciutto Cotto. It was plenty of food and we were able to take a few slices home. I have also had the Kale Caesar salad at prior visits. It's a good starter for 2-3 people. Although I didn't have the gelato this visit (it was -10), I highly recommend it!

    Rosso is one of my favorite pizza places in Edmonton. I went there last night for dinner with co-workers and neither of my friends had ever tried it before. They loved their food and are already talking about coming back. There is a small patio outside of rosso and they also have patio seating. My friend and I ordered pizza: the gamberi, margherita and funghi misti. All were delicious! The crust is thin and slightly flaky and tastes great with chili oil. The toppings were flavorful and I especially loved the mushrooms with truffle oil on the funghi misti. We finished off with gelato which is definitely a must. Their classic vanilla bean is one I always go back for. They have a variety of gelato: coconut, chai, salted caramel, dark chocolate and pistachio to name a few. I am already planning my next visit!

    Rosso pizza!  Yum!  The one closet is a potato pizza
    Tracey S.

    Grabbed some pizza to go so this rating is purely on the taste of the pizzas. Gotta say I will be back. If u like traditional Italian pizzas with thins crust and minimal toppings then you have to try these guys pizza. We had the potatoe pancetta pizza and it was my FAV! Highly recommend. Also tried the panini salsiccia and too was good but I liked the potatoe pizza was better. The sausage on the other pizza had a spice that I didn't prefer but I will not knock the pizza because it was still good The size would feed two unless you are super hingry, then I'd also order an appie or two pizzas.

    Had the Salsiccia because I am a huge fan of house made fennel sausage from other places (Local downtown), but was vastly disappointed at this order! The crust was dry and flavourless (like biting into cardboard) and the ingredients scarce and poorly dispersed (see pic). The fennel sausage was flavourful, but the rest of the ingredients were low quality compared to other neopolitan wood fired places. For the price of $17.50 it left us feeling extremely dissatisfied! The overall dining experience was poor as well, due to our server being inattentive and pretentious at most times. We went with a group of six and ordered the bruschetta and antipasto board on her recommendation and the bruschetta came out in 4 pieces so two people in our group never got to even try it... The bread that came with the antipasto was burned and tasted like ashes! The only thing good about this place was the dessert menu as everyone unanimously enjoyed their choices (gelatos were the best!) Don't go here unless you enjoy being disappointed and paying through your nose for horrible food. Go here for dessert only AFTER you have dined at ANOTHER pizza place! I would prefer Blaze, Cafe Leva, Love Pizza and Famosos ALL over this place!

    This was my first visit to Rosso Pizzeria and Wine Bar. It is located on the south side in the former diCapo spot on 109 st, just north of the Garneau theatre. The new owner, Dave, promises lots of great changes to the inside and shared fabulous ideas! I look forward to many return visits here. This is the perfect place to share a bottle of vino and plates of charcuterie and cheeses. Nibble away the evening sitting on their patio, sipping wine while people watching. Almost like being back in Europe! The food is delicioso! I sampled many pizzas, each tastier than the next. The pizzas are hand tossed in the traditional Neapolitan style. Thin crusted and topped with fresh herbs, thin meats & seafood, and lovely cheeses, including "a to die for" house made Ricotta! The Fior di Latte Mozzarella they use is SUPERB and blends with the other toppings magnificently. In the cheese plate, it offers a great accompaniment to the various charcuteries and fig jam. They also serve a great variety of crostinis, and not your over-served Bruschetta either! (See photos) And let's not forget the GELATO! Lots and lots of gelato. Wonderful flavours such as Panna Cotta, Licorice, Peach, Nutella, Bacci, Strawberries and Bananas, Cinnamon, Chocolate, etc etc etc Mmm!!! I highly recommend you make Rosso your next pizza stop. Be warned, this is NOT a fast food pizza joint. Don't come looking for thick crust loaded with chewy mozzarella. This place is for the lovers and connaisseurs of true Italian thin crusted pizza just like in Napoli!

    The fabulous new bar made with Reclaimed marble from the CN Tower.

    I have found my Home Away From Home! For me Da Capo was always a solid 4stars. Then they closed down, renovated, went from a nice cafe to a stunning forno oven pizzeria and Italian cafe all in one! All the elements of the previous cafe that made it awesome are still in place (ie the gelato and excellent cappuccino machine!) But now it has a sophisticated elegance to it. With the renovations came the addition of reclaimed marble from the CN Tower that is in place as the bar top as well as a fabulous floor to ceiling shelving unit at the front door that houses the wood for the pizza oven. Also, reclaimed wood from discarded wine barrels make up the table tops, and they are so cool, I wish I could have one of these in my house!! Throw in some chic urban light installations, a floating glass wine wall and boom, you have yourselves one heck of a cool space! Oh, and ya the Zza is awesome; thin, crispy, hot, cheesy with authentic toppings.... Lets just say it's good enough to get this girl in 3 times in the last week!

    Roasted tomato soup with chocolate shavings, delicious!
    Lindsay A.

    Today was my first visit to Rosso and I am sad....sad that I waited so long! I loved everything about Rosso. The decor is rustic, yet hip and there is all different kinds of seating. It's a very comfortable setting. The food was FANTASTIC. I am happy as long as food is fresh and homemade and Rosso hit the mark. I had the tomato soup which had small chunks of asiago and parmesan in it and was topped with a tiny bit of shaved chocolate. Yes, chocolate! It really complimented the tomato nicely and was very subtle. I also had the chickpea salad that bursted with flavour from fresh parsley and sun-dried tomatoes. I found the meal to be very well priced and the service was great. I will be returning to Rosso very soon!

I started the meal with the Don Vito cocktail, a spirit forward sweet concoction of Cognac, Bourbon and Limoncello. Immediately felt like it set the perfect tone for dinner. The tasting menu started with four appetizers, the Arancini, Goat Ricotta Crostini, Insalata Siciliana and the Culatello. My favorite was the arancini as it was packed full of melty cheese with so much flavor. The culatello was a crowd favorite and the crostini was a great palate cleanser. For secondi we had the Truffle Gnudi and Paccheri. For people who like meaty flavors go with the paccheri, but I liked the light cheese and truffle of the gnudi. By the time the Pollo Al Mattone came around, I could only manage a mouthful of the succulent brick chicken and the fresh cabbage salad as I was so full and would need to be rolled out of the restaurant. We ended with the Chocolate Budino, which was dark, creamy and delicious. A great tasting menu at a great price, especially compared to Toronto prices!

Place has "very fancy" feel and would be good for special events/celebration dinners. Free bread to start was fine but not the best I have had. I prefer mine with butter but the oil/vinegar is probably more typical. We tried the: Calamari: 10/10, great texture, loved that we got 2 sauces to dip in. Fettuccine Tavolino (cheese wheel pasta): 10/10. Boyfriend was not too full after. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Nice cheesy creamy flavor. Ravioli Alla Zucca: 9/10, I can't remember if there were 6 or 7 ravioli in the dish. Very pleasing presentation. In my opinion too many sundried tomatoes. I love that it comes with sundried tomatoes as that added some great tang/flavor. Ravioli themselves were perfectly cooked. Brown butter sauce was excellent and wanted more. Creme Brule: 9/10, exactly as expected, definitely enough to share between 2 people. Affogato: vanilla gelato was 11/10 good to me but boyfriend didn't like the flavor. We both agree the espresso was excellent. Very small portion (too small to share!). Free cookies at the end were fine. Overall food was excellent and I'll be back but to try something different on the menu.

The complimentary bread was great, the martini's good although one glass had far more than the other. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese, and although quite different from what we make at home, was excellent! K had the Alfredo flambé which was fired up tableside. It seems to be a popular option as it happened 6 or 7 times while we dined. They also don't soak you for the privilege of the tableside presentation. It was a little cheesy for K, but excellent nonetheless. Our server Eugenia from Hamburg was excellent, she can serve us anytime. She was attentive, and her timing was exceptional! We plan on making a reservation the next time we are in Edmonton. Top notch experience!

Server was nice but never refilled our table water even after we moved it a couple times to be within her view of the table (my friend swears he saw her see us move it to the edge of the table too). Rialto Float cocktail was nice if you like Pisco. Royal Jamaican Ginger beer was good too. Olive Calde - large portion for price. Olives were fine. Calamari - 10/10 delicious, dips were great too. Gnocchi with pancetta - 10/10, surprising filling and even though the Gnocchi were huge chunks they were well cooked. Waitress recommend Campanella Aragosta - 7/10. If you like spicy it's fine but otherwise the flavor is actually very bland. Pasta itself was unique and well cooked. Large portion. Beef Brisket Agnolotti - 7/10, 8 large ravioli filled with brisket. Sauce was good, ravioli were well cooked but brisket inside was pretty underwhelming. Friend who got this dish was ++ hungry still after and said he would order something else next time for the price. Funghi Cipolla - 8/10, it was as expected. Ricotta cheesecake - cheesecake itself was great with the ricotta taste but crust was soooo bad. So overly thick and dry and considering our waitress failed to give us water the entire meal it was impossible to eat (so dry). Date cake - Unfortunately they didn't have gelato as was advertised on the menu to go with the cake so whipped cream was substituted. Was told this only after we ordered and friend asked for the flavors of gelato. Cake had a few uncooked flour lumps. Flavor was fine but not as flavorful/spice-heavy as I hoped.
