I am afraid to admit it, but I like Famoso better! I live about a 5 min walk from Rosso and was really excited to see what the hype was about and potentially find my new fav wood fired pizza place. The decor was really cool, so they get points for that. They also have a really large beer list, which was awesome to see in an Italian place. I'll skip right to the end and say the gelato was my favorite part. My waistline and wallet will be unhappy with me this summer. Now for the bad. Service was super lackluster and unfriendly. Our plates were never cleared and the size of the tables made it really awkward to have appetizer dishes mixed with the entree dishes. It was the long weekend so maybe she was having a really bad day, I don't know- but I don't think our server smiled once at us. The food tasted really good, but it really didn't look appetizing. There was more crust to the pizza than the part with toppings and even then the toppings were very sparse. Comparative to Famoso- where I feel like there is way more bang for your buck. The food isn't cheap at Rosso, so I expected something more substantial. I also really hated how everything on the menu was in Italian with English ingredients and explanations under it. I understand the desire to appeal authentic and everything, but it makes ordering really uncomfortable for me. Just call it a Bruchetta Trio instead of Trittico Di Bruschetta. I would rather say it perfect in English than stumble through Italian pronunciations. Anyways, it wasn't bad. I will probably go again and hopefully have better service. I was expecting to be blown away and I sadly wasn't. Looks like I will still be a Famoso regular, and I'm OK with that. read more

While this place is quite delicious, it isn't my favorite such pizza place in Edmonton for two reasons: one is the price (it's more expensive than my actual favorite), and one is service. While I've only been here once, the service was slower than desired, and the items on the menu seemed just that much more expensive than I was expecting for similarly tasting food. Perhaps if I were to visit again my impression would change, but the pizza part of the menu is what I'm not 100% pleased with price-wise. The rest of the menu does look tantalizing enough to try, however. read more

Rosso has the best Neapolitan-style pizza crust in Edmonton. It's light and fluffy, but can still hold the toppings. I also enjoyed the kale caesar salad which we ordered first. The toppings themselves weren't as tasty as some of the better pizzas I've had at Famoso, but I'm eager to return here. The establishment is still fairly similar to Da Capo, but a little bit more restaurant-like and atmospheric. And they have a wood oven, which is fantastic. read more

Last night I attended a Yelp event at Rosso, so I got my first opportunity to check the place out. The interior is has had a bit of a facelift recently from what I understand, and it looks good! The vibe is casual and you don't need to dress up here, although if you did you wouldn't feel out of place. We started with a bunch of charcuterie which included various meats, cheeses, olives, fig jam and bread. You can't go wrong with any of that for me, but I especially enjoyed the fig jam. I'd spread that stuff on most anything. We tried a lot of the various pizzzas, and while everyone will have their own preferences with regards to favourite toppings, all the ones we had were quite good. It's pretty obvious when quality toppings are used, and it makes all the difference. But lets face it, a great pizza comes down to the dough. The crust at Rosso may be my new favourite in town, edging out Famoso. It's light and crunchy, but doesn't have that prolonged chew that Famoso's has. I loved it. At about $15 a pizza, the price is not out of line. I'll surely come back for another pie and some gelato. Maybe even a beer or 3. read more

After experiencing Rosso on a wonderful lady date, I had to take my husband for a unique and intimate date night experience. After getting a quaint spot by the window, we ordered the salad special and a pizza to share. Both were good - but it's dessert that I have to rave about. If you want the BEST creme brûlée OF YOUR LIFE, try Rosso's. The best part of any brûlée is the torched and caramelized sugar topping and this one was so thick that it took at least three attempts to break through the sugary goodness. Man, it was heavenly. We also shared gelato with a shot of espresso - and it was also perfect. 5 stars for dessert! Bonus: the service was great and the washroom is lovely (and has provided inspiration for a future powder room in our future house). If you're looking for a memorable date night - check out Rosso. And don't forget to get dessert! read more

I came into Rosso with high expectations after reading all the rave reviews from my fellow Yelpers. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed in the food. The pizza was nothing spectacular and I found mine, the Patata E Pancetta, to be unbearably salty. My friend found her pizza, Pesto E Pollo, to be bland. Neither of us was blown away, which was sad since I've been looking for the best pizza place in town and Rosso held promise. That being said, the gelato was yummy, with a good selection of flavours. I also love, love, loved the decor. It was rustic, yet modern and just gorgeous. As other people noted, I think it would be a lovely place to take your laptop and grab a coffee or dessert. But don't come for the pizza. read more

Very disappointing. We ordered the seafood appetizer that came with a few shrimp and scallops and dried up bread. The caprese salad was alright. The salsiccia pizza was bland. The rosso was a bit better, but sub par in my opinion to famoso. Prices were high and not worth the value. I don't know what else to say. :( read more

I went here on a date. She had the salad which looked pretty standard, while I had the Uva Arrosto pizza. It sounded delicious but when it arrived there were barely any toppings on the pizza and there was only olive oil on half of the pizza leaving the outer rim very, very dry. For $18, I should have skipped out and had the salad instead. Pizza tasted good, but not great and was priced high for what you get. read more

We headed here with a friend on Friday night for the first time. Parking isn't easy to find, which was a nuisance. There is a lot but it isn't very big and can only be used during certain hours. The restaurant is quite small, and because of all the tables and the people packed into, it felt that way. We sat at the bar while waiting for a table to open up, on what I would describe as the rickety stools of death. The music was incredibly loud and we found it difficult to have any sort of conversation. There was a particularly large table behind us who were absolutely obnoxious. They were arm wrestling with each other and being really loud. I think they might've known some staff as some of the servers joined in the arm wrestling. Our server was good, but overworked. The food was tasty, but I felt like there simply weren't enough toppings on either of our pizzas, the Funghi Misti ($17.00) and the Uva Arrosto ($17.00). I never would've thought to put grapes on pizza, but they added a delicious sweet element and I found myself wishing for more. We also had some gelato, I had the pistachio and my partner had the mint oreo. The gelato was fantastic, creamy, smooth, and flavourful. It is $4.75 for a small scoop, but we felt that it was very reasonable. I really appreciated that everything was made in house, including the gelato. The quality of the food is great, but the ambiance needs work. I'll definitely be back for at least dessert, but definitely not on a Friday night. read more

I finally made it here for dinner after having on my list for a couple months. My husband and I went here with my mom for a quick dinner before a show we were going to. Firstly the food was fantastic, my mom was raving about it through the whole meal, she got the pizza with the artichokes on it, and that automatically won points from her because that's something she looks for every time we go for pizza. The menu had a bunch of different items on e menu that we all wanted to try so we'll definitely have to stop back again. Next the service, this is where it fell a bit short. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful but obviously it was too busy for her to keep up. We finished our meal and we're waiting for her to come back but she never quite made it back, then when my husband went up to ask her for some boxes to go and our bill, she said okay, but then promptly started helping the next customer who had come up before bringing us our bill. We waited over 10 minutes after asking and then finally my husband went up to the till without our bill to pay. If we hadn't been in a time crunch then the experience would have been amazing, it was still good though and we'll definitely be back. read more

Garbage. Waited forty five minutes for a lunch size pizza and it tasted like complete shit. The worst pizza I have ever had in my life. I got the pizza margarita (mozzarella and tomato sauce) and when it came it was completely cold, the crust was almost all black and burnt and the dough underneath the cheese was soggy as hell. It was as if someone soaked it in water. There was absolutely no flavour in the sauce and cheese what so ever and I couldn't even finish it. It was horrific! And if you thought it couldn't get any worse, there was floating particles of food in the water glass we received as well as food pieces in the cups. It was a terrible experience for my friend and I. I will never come back. Complete waste of money and time. Absolutely disappointed. read more

It's time again to rate the food and here is what we thought of this restaurant we were originally going to go to Tony's Pizza but noticed it was closed today so we chose this instead we are both wanting pizza was it worth the wait not really we ordered 2 pizza and a soup tomato soup. Soup was thinned down pizza sauce. The 2 pizzas were OK but lacked favor so the soup was nice to dip in. Can't wait for Tony's to open read more

After learning that Rosso Pizzeria was awarded best pizza in Edmonton in the Avenue magazine, we thought we would try it out. The Margherita Pizza had a superb crust & sauce; but, the basil looked a little sad. All and all, it was a good pizza. Yet, the main let down was the service. The waitresses were goofing off behind the counter while forgetting our coffee & extra bread. We had to get up from the table to ask for some service. Plus, the restaurant was not at capacity. Hopefully the service can be improved. We would love to try out some more pizza. read more

Rosso Pizzeria - margherita pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

My boyfriend had tried to take me here for months and I had politely refused; "Can we just go to Famoso? It's like the same thing but cheaper." If you are someone like me, you don't like trying new things. And you need to suck it up and get out there because you're probably missing delicious food like the food they make at Rosso. We came for a late lunch on a weekday and it wasn't super duper busy, which was nice. We sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and let me tell you, this place is so damn cute. Love the interior, love the decor, love the atmosphere. It's super adorable, and a great place for a first date. I got a lunch pizza and a tomato-white bean-kale soup. It was frreeeaaaking delicious. The flavours were absolutely perfect, and my pizza was cooked so the crust was soft but also a bit crunchy and super moist. So much better than other pizza places in the city; it felt like someone actually put a lot of love into making my tiny pizza. It was great. We ordered the buffalo mozzarella to start, but it never came. We told our server and she was super duper apologetic; we said it was fine, but we'd really like to try it, even if it was as a dessert. It wasn't a big deal to us at all, and sure enough, she came back with our appetizer, still apologizing. We assured her that it was okay (Really, it was) and then dove into delicious creamy buffalo mozzarella on fancy yummy bread. It would have been even better if the mozzarella was melted on the bread. Okay, my mouth is watering now. Anyways, the waitress ended up taking the appetizer off our bill, which in our opinion was totally not necessary since we told her we weren't upset in the slightest, and we eventually got our food. It was good customer service and it felt like she really cared that we were enjoying ourselves and went above and beyond to ensure that. Great food, great service. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Yes, it's tasty but...at 18$...some dough with some cheese and maybe 3 pine nuts...rip-off...make your own pizza at home. Add an 8 oz glass of wine at 14$...you can buy a bottle for that. Anyway, I won't be back. I can spend my $ more wisely. read more

This restaurant is such a gem. The staff were incredibly sweet our food was so delicious. I love how the kitchen makes all of their sauces in house! Cannot wait to go back! read more

I should start by saying, we went to Rosso expecting an upscale Famoso. We'd read a few reviews online and loving the wood-fired, thin crust, we were excited to try something a little different. When we walked in, I was impressed by the cool atmosphere and warm greeting. Overall the dining experience was pleasant with friendly service and a relaxed vibe. I would agree with others that the music volume is one notch too high. We ordered drinks. The bottled beer and wine list were substantial and we were both happy with our selections. :) So now to talk about the food. We ordered two pizzas - a Rosso ($18) and Fungi Misti ($16.5) and the chocolate dessert ($9). This is where things went south in comparison to Famoso. The pizza crust and sauce lacked flavour. You could taste more 'wood fire' than anything else. The dessert was also flat. The menu describes a rich and creamy chocolate ganache. Maybe it was overcooked but ours was dry and bland. We weren't asked how our dessert tasted and didn't go out of our way to kick up a fuss but it did leave us with a bitter taste - better than no taste at all I guess. Disappointing when the best part of the night is the pricey ($14) glass of wine. I think we'll be sticking to Famoso. read more

I'm sure Rosso hates being compared to Famoso, but I'm going to go ahead and do that anyways. Everything, from the decor to the menu and prices is very Famoso-y, which (to me), is a good thing. The big difference being that Rosso isn't a chain, their waiters (great service by the way) don't use iPads when taking your order (which makes the ordering way faster), and their bathrooms (single stall) leave something to be desired. Also, they don't offer individual sized pizzas here which made me a little sad. I had the pear & prosciutto Blanca pizza and hubby had the mushroom & ham, both really good - nothing distinguishes it from Famoso (again, not a bad thing). Overall, if it wasn't for that infamous F word being so much closer to me, I'd definitely come again. read more

Great thin crust pizza. Been a couple of times and have really enjoyed both visits. Pizza is awesome, lots of beers to choose from, and great desserts. A nice casual feel to the restaurant. Clean and very good service. Highly recommend visiting. read more

Personally, the best Neapolitan style pizza I have ever tried. I ordered the Uva Arrosto and it was SO good, I didn't let one bite go to waste. Really nice venue. The service was good. At the time, they may have played the music a bit too loud, to carry a conversation comfortably. Overall, highly recommend this spot for a more authentic taste of Neapolitan pizzas. read more

Rosso's pizza is great and very unique​! The food at the restaurant​ is always spot-on and the freshly made thin​ crust pizza comes in many​ different​ topping options. They don't, however, serve "regular" pizza such as Hawian, or Pepperoni.​ They have there own homemade​, original​ pizzas to offer which are very good but different than what you would get at pizza 73. The vibe is also very nice but it does​ feel a bit cold when you are by the door. Overall, I would highly recommend​ this place for people wanting to try something​​g new! read more

The meal we had today was worth the price paid. Service was a bit slow. One of our party's pizza was a bit on the burnt side as well. Nothing to write home about - some of the meals were better than others. read more

I don't get it. My beer was slightly cool. My panini was slightly warm. My salad had vinaigrette, a tomato, arugula and cheese. Plain & boring. Service was subpar. Wasn't even asked if I wanted another slightly cool beer. Or if everything tasted ok. Sandwich was small. My partner's pizza was wet. Yes, very wet. So wet, he needed my napkin to wipe the juice off his hands after using his own. I guess the massive table of hipsters at our next table is keeping this place open. read more

So got a lovely message from the owners at Rosso Pizzeria to come and give them a second chance. Went on a Wednesday after work and certainly the level of service has improved since last we were there. To start, the atmosphere is quite pleasant and we were seated where we could keep an eye on all the happenings in the pizza oven. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu, and double checked on the pizza special. She was also able to give great recommendations on the beer on tap for the evening. We started with the warm ricotta and olive appetizer. Must admit, was happy my husband doesn't like olives- they were fantastic, as was the ricotta. Not quite enough bread to finish the cheese, but our server happily brought us more. Now has become a favourite hangout for us and our friends. read more

As far as I'm concerned, best Italian-style pizza in Edmonton. Nice atmosphere, good beer and wine options, and great music and atmosphere. Love it! read more

Gem of a restaurant First time here, but already plan on coming back. Service was great, food delish and I like the atmosphere The menu is diverse and has something for everyone. Fresh fruit and vegies, made in-house sauces, beautiful presentation of food......a treat for the eyes and the tummy read more

I will start by saying choose what you order very carefully. If you order right, you'll be pleased. Let me explain... Four of us went here for Saturday lunch, and I was excited they have a breakfast menu. Myself and one other at the table ordered the eggs benedict. It has the most amazing flavour, I'm assuming from being cooked in the wood fired oven. I would have taken a jar of the hollandaise home if I was allowed to. The price... $14 for eggs benedict with potatoes. The potatoes were nice, not really greasy. I would definitely go back just for the eggs benedict. My boyfriend ordered a panini, which was $10 and came with a salad. He loved it, and the price was very reasonable, although it probably isn't enough for most men. Add the tomato bisque bowl of soup for $8, and he's satisfied. Now, where it gets a little tricky. Another person at the table ordered the full size Margherita pizza, and the kale caesar salad. She ordered it, and asked the waitress about the size of pizza, as she was sharing it with a 4 year old. The waitress suggested the normal size, and not pizzetta size. At that point, it would have been swell if the waitress then said "But the $4.50 side kale caesar salad now becomes a $9 side salad, because you can only get the $4.50 one with the pizzetta size". I kid you not, it was the most ridiculous thing I've seen. A small bowl of kale, for $9. NINE DOLLARS! Compared to $10 for an entire panini with salad. How does that even make sense. When we got the bill and noticed the astronomical charge for this side salad, that's when the waitress said the side salad was only available with the pizzetta. And apparently, the $4.50 salad is even smaller than the one we got, which I can't even imagine. It was that small. Now, the service. Obviously, you're probably already getting an impression of what it was like. Truthfully, I tend not to expect too much for service unless I'm at a fine dining restaurant. It's just not something I care about, I just want good food. However, the waitress brought out all of our food, except the pizza that was being shared between one adult and a 4 year old. So the poor 4 year old had to sit and watch everyone eat their food, and after we were all done our dishes, the pizza came out. Such an odd thing to do... I couldn't figure that out at all. But anyways, the pizza tasted great (so I'm told), as well as the tomato bisque. I loved the eggs Benedict, and my boyfriend loved his panini, so we will certainly be back. But never will order a side salad! read more

I have been there on multiple occasions and never been disappointed. Great place to stop in for a quick bite, or an extended stay. They have a wonderful selection of craft beer on tap, so there is never any difficulty finding a nice pairing with your meal. Although it changes all the time, I would have to say that my go to favorite is just about any of the pizzas, but they have some amazing salads as well. The staff is friendly and make you feel at home. They never rush you, or leave you hanging for very long. Keep up the great work!! read more

After seeing all of the excellent reviews for Rosso Pizzeria on Yelp, I added it to my 'wish-list'... Unfortunately, I left a little bit disappointed. Currently, there is a ton of road construction around Rosso and it is next to impossible to access. After a couple of tries looping around the neighbourhood to get into the parking lot, we finally made it and found there was no parking left to be had except for in the 'smile zone' area - which meant paid parking....okay, I'll deal, I am (at this point) dying to try Rosso. I do almost anything! We were seated immediately (on a Saturday evening at 7pm) - so that was a huge plus. The service was prompt and we were never left looking for our server - another huge plus. The food - we ordered Margherita Pizza and a pizza with prosciutto, tomatoes and some kind of green - they were okay, but, in my opinion not even close to the wonderful flavours at Famoso. All in all, it was o.k. but nothing to RAVE about. Although the service was above average, that was the only real positive to the experience. read more

Oh Rosso. I love how you're right across the street from my house! Never a bad experience here. I came after lunch on a Saturday for a cheat meal. This was definitely the place to go because the food is top notch. Hubby had the eggs benny (which he loooooved) and I had a skillet. It had potatoes, onions, peppers, organic fennel sausage. It also had tomato sauce, and two poached eggs on top, with a side of artisan bread. Silly me was so hungry and so excited to dive into this amazing dish that I didn't even get to take a picture. It was savory and bursting with amazing flavor. For a cheat meal, it was still relatively healthy and I am glad I ate this instead of some greasy dish elsewhere that I would have regretted later. As sad as I am, I passed on gelatto, but it looked absolutely heavenly. The place was busting with eclectic patrons, and the service was on point. Just thinking about that skillet makes me hungry! read more

Love the quaint interior. The pizzas were unique and delicious! Great place to share a few different pizzas with some friends. Will definitely come back to try more. read more

If you are in Edmonton and craving for a good pizza, this is the place to go! Easily the best pizza in the region. Moreover, the staff is extremely friendly and the prices are very honest! They also have very good gelato. read more

If I could, honestly, I would give it a 2.5.... Sorry..... I FINALLY went to the new iteration of the original Da Capo to Rosso Pizzeria. It was an impromptu decision, however, truth be told I have been curious given all the hype I have heard and read. With my companion, we went on Friday evening, early....about 6pmish and it was a perfect time as we got seating straight away. To me, it has a very informal vibe...NOT a place to take someone for a first date or any date....the noise level is pretty high--I had to repeat myself 3 times before our waitress could hear me on account of the noise. Like Corso and Canteen, it makes VERY good use of its space putting in as much seating as it can so yes, if you are wanting a SOMEwhat quiet spot, this AIN'T it. On to the food. Of course, being a "Pizzeria" we ordered 2 of them. My companion the Margherita and I ordered the Potato Pancetta. Before this, we ordered the Ricotta Calda appetizer (YES, I DID....). My companion ordered a glass of wine and I had their "house sparkling water" (Yes, they have "house" sparkling water....) Why do I call it this? Well, for about a pint of "sparkling Q3 Water" I paid $2.50. I looked up the brand and there is NO such brand. I am thinking they have invested money in a Soda Stream and are basically charging for the bubbles.... can you say "cheap"? Sorry, folks, but really?? But I DO digress from the pizze and appetizer we ordered. To my utter SURPRISE, the SIZE was MUCH SMALLER than I could have imagined. My pizza was $17...and the size of a personal pan/child order. Though it was tasty and well made, I am sorry, but I cannot imagine making this a place where I am going to come for pizza once a week (and yes, we DO do pizza once a week :-9 ). The Margherita was also good my companion commented, however, again not SO amazing that we are going to rush back each week at this price point. I am going to talk about the appetizer now and separately because the Ricotta Calda was VERY good and EXACTLY what ricotta SHOULD be...I am still clueless as to why they added the oil (not as much as Corso) when the bread they serve it with ALSO has oil.... with this appetizer there is also a nice addition of plump, yummy green olives :-9. I would come back for this.... For dessert, we ordered the Tiramisu (and it is described as the recipe from a one Michelin star Venetian restaurant) and the well known gelato. The gelato was very good as it always has been since the days of Leva to Da Capo and happily to Rosso Pizzeria. The Tiramisu was good, again, I have issues with such over the top descriptions of what is on a menu....expectations that are set in writing .... Again, I am giving it a 3 because I cannot give it a 2.5. My critique I feel is fair considering that yes, the quality is for the most part very good, however, when the bill comes and you are at 77$ for 2 pizzas, 1 9oz glass of wine, 1 appetizer and 2 desserts....and you are charged $2.50 for Soda Streamed water from the tap, let's just say, IF I go back I am going back for the appetizer (I am on a budget and who isn't these days? ). read more

Amazing restaurant that is based on italian cuisine, though it has some slight things that irkes me. Let me start by the restaurant's look, amazing decor and very clean environment, the service is good, not much to say and don't really care about that, I opened up the menu and what I noticed is that stuff are quite pricey... But I still decided to give it a shot, I tried the roso (I think that's what's it called) tomato sauce, mozarella, sausage and spice, I was not disappointed , the cheese tasted good, sausage is well cooked and unburnt (unlike some pizza restaurants I've visited) and the sauce is not too hot/spicy, just the right amount, same as the toppings. I also tried the vanilla bean as my "desert" and it became my favorite too! I really have nothing negative to say except ill be back! read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to grab some lunch this afternoon, so we decided to give Rosso a try. We had been here once before but just for dessert (which was great - excellent gelato). We were greeted immediately and seated right away by our very pleasant waitress. She gave us menus and came back shortly thereafter with waters and to take our drink order. My wife had the Caffe Canadese espresso and liked it a lot - really strong espresso flavor (a bit too bitter for me, but she was a fan). They still had their breakfast menu out and I was interested in one of their breakfast pizzas but in a pizzetta size, if they could, which the waitress said was no problem as there was a lunch pizza with similar ingredients, she would just add an egg to the lunch item. She was very accommodating and helpful. My wife got the Kale Saltati pizza. They were pretty busy (at least one large table and lots of two-person tables in use) but it seemed to take a long time for our food to come out. Probably about half an hour? When the waitress brought the pizzas out, they looked okay but a bit of a poke around mine revealed the egg was really underdone for my taste (runny yoke is fine, but there was a lot of gooey, translucent white) and the sliced potato looked wet. I tasted a piece of the potato and it was crunchy and underdone. I tried to eat around it but the whole thing just seemed undercooked and I didn't feel good about eating it. My wife was surprised to find that her side salad had been salted (is this an Italian thing?), the red sauce on her pizza was really bland, and the centre of her crust was wet and raw. The kale bits were nice and crunchy, though, like kale chips, and the toppings were generously given on her pizzetta. When the waitress came back to check on us, she could see I wasn't eating and asked if everything was okay. After hearing about the underdone parts of my pizza, she said she would take care of it for us and take the plate away. I feel like she took really good care of us and her service was the shining light in an otherwise kinda cruddy lunch. Overall, a disappointing meal with a really excellent server. When she brought the cheque, she thanked us for our understanding and we said it was not her fault and we would be back to try their brunch sometime (the brunch menu looked really good). Every chef has bad days sometimes and I think we just happened by Rosso Pizzeria on a day where it was not at its best. I am pretty sure the people sitting behind us also sent something back in the time we were there, so an off-day seems to fit the situation as a whole. It is definitely a lovely atmosphere, they clearly use quality ingredients in their wide variety of Italian food offerings, and their staff are very customer service oriented, but today it just didn't all come together on the plate. read more

Rosso Pizzeria gets my first 5-star review on Yelp! I have been three times now because I always have trouble choosing between so many great dishes and the service is great. The first time I went it was very busy but the staff was so calm and cool about it. They suggested that my party have a seat at the bar while we waited for a table, which opened up in less than five minutes. The other two visits I was seated immediately and had a drink in hand within less than a minute. The food was amazing! I have tried quite a few dishes (from my plate and "borrowed" from across the table) and all I can say is the pizzas are second to none. My favourites are the salsiccia and the soppressata. I'm dying to return to try them all. Lastly, the service was more than I'd expected. I'd been to Da Capo (the previous incarnation of this business) and the service was more cafe style, so I expected something similar. Wrong. These guys really know how to accommodate. Every person we met treated us like gold and they were quick to offer suggestions to make our decisions easier. It put a personal touch on our visit, which I like when visiting a locally owned business. If it isn't already evident, I will be returning until I've tried the entire menu and then I'll do it all over again. 5 stars! read more

While what Rosso Pizzeria offers is expensive, it's also quite good.

I love the atmosphere and cool vibe that this place has! The time that we went the restaurant was very, very busy! We sat at the bar and had a glass of wine. I could tell that the server was suuuuuuper spread thin as she was expected to make all the drinks for the entire restaurant and serve all the people seated at the bar, so needless to say we waited a while between interactions with her, but it's kind of understandable given how busy it was. The three star rating is because the pizza we ordered was not cooked very well all! The crust was crunchy but the centre was literally raw dough! We mentioned it to our server and she was a complete doll about it! She offered to buy us dessert but we mentioned that we were heading to a movie so she comped our entree pizza. We thought that was a real classy move, although it would have been better if the pizza was as awesomely epic as we'd hoped it would be... read more

We had been to this location when they were DiCapo. Back then the coffee was good but we found it expensive for what you got. I was happy to see a Travelzoo offer appear on my email and we immediately purchased one. I was extremely impressed (I'm thinking i should have bought 2 coupons) For starters, the beer selection is excellent. Lots of different beers from all over the world. We started with the antipasto misto which was huge! Perfect for sharing for 2 or 3. The meats were delicious and lots of them. We could see ourselves coming back and just getting some wine and sharing the antipasto misto. It's plenty of food. We really enjoyed the pizza. We've been big fans of Famoso and this pizza rivals the quality of Famoso. I still can't decide which is better, but that's a good thing. The dough was very light and fluffy, it was perfect. The tomato sauce was very tasty. They really need to watch that they keep there prices comparable to Famoso tho as there isn't much to differentiate between the two restaurants and if there pizza prices get too high, I'd just go to Famoso for pizza.
