The food was excellent- the Winter Citrus salad was a wonderful combination of sweet, salty, and creamy! The Olive Oil cake was also a stand out! Only downside is the surrounding area is a bit sketch, but worth it for the restaurant. read more

Great for groups and date night! Loved the decor, the portions were perfect, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. read more

Celebrated my sister-in-law's birthday at Rossoblu and honestly, it was perfect. Started with focaccia and Caesar salad, then went in on the hanger steak, braised short rib ravioli, tagliatelle al mattarello, and lasagna al forno-every single dish was fire. The drinks were next level. Their mixology is unmatched. They brought out a cute dessert for the birthday girl, which was such a nice touch. We also tried the tiramisu and got an affogato. Ambiance is dim, classy, and perfect for a celebration. Our server Cesar was the best- super attentive, funny, and just a great vibe overall. Plus, free street parking or valet if you want. read more

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience at Rossoblu. We started our night at the bar with Alan, and honestly he set the tone for the entire evening. His hospitality was next level. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about cocktails and mixology, but he also knew the menu inside and out and made some fantastic recommendations. Beyond that, he just had an amazing vibe -- super welcoming, engaging, and easy to connect with. You can tell he truly cares about creating a great experience for guests. After drinks we moved to a table where Collin took over and he did a great job taking care of us. What really stood out though was that Alan continued to check in on our table throughout the night, making sure everything was perfect. That kind of service is rare and shows how much pride he takes in his work. The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were fantastic, but the service -- especially from Alan -- is what made the night memorable. Rossoblu is doing it right. We'll definitely be back. read more

Just took my mom out here. The focaccia was warm and soft, the blue fin tuna was buttery and fresh. We spilt the Branzino and the mushroom lasagna and I loved both but as a mushroom lover? THE LASAGNA WAS AMAZINGG!! Plus they have great mocktails of popular cocktails so my mom and I could feel like we were enjoying the same drink together. Nice atmosphere and good service read more

Went for the DineLA dinner menu, and it was a great experience. It was a Thursday evening, and it was pretty easy to make an online reservation. The space itself is really nice -- lots of outdoor patio seating with a high-ceiling industrial indoor space with open kitchen. The bar is in the front, and they have some nice cocktail and wine options. There were a good number of people there, but there were still plenty of open tables. It was nice to see a restaurant that had a good vibe and plenty of people watching, but not so crowded that there's a long wait or you feel cramped. The restaurant is in a bit of a random spot in downtown, near the flower district and south of skidrow. If you're coming from the main part of Downtown, you may want to consider not driving through skidrow if it's in the evening. Once you do get there, there's plenty of street parking right in front as well as a valet option. The DineLA menu was 3 courses (appetizer, main, and dessert) for $55. I ordered the beef tartare, petit filet, and meyer lemon cream olive oil cake. My buddy ordered the hamachi crudo, the petit filet, and the hazelnut chocolate ganache. All of the food was really good with decent portions. We also ordered a few cocktails. I had the "oro" off the cocktail menu, which was a bourbon based cocktail. Evan Williams is the well bourbon, so I upgraded to Buffalo Trace. It was only a $2 upcharge, which I think was totally worth it. I also ordered a whiskey sour, and they make a proper one with the egg white foam and bitters, served up. The cocktails were excellent, and i can see that the bartenders know what they're doing. This is a great date spot or a small dinner party. I'd say a group of 4 to 6 would be great so that you can order a bunch of things and share. I'll certainly be back again. read more

We came here for the Dine LA menu and overall really enjoyed it. The food was good and the ambience was great We both got the beef tartare (a little on the salty side but overall very tasty), I got the grilled bass as my main (very delicious and loved the grilled cauliflower) and for my dessert I got the hazelnut mousse. A little too sweet and heavy for me but delicious. My friend got the filet mignon for her main. Unfortunately she said it was too salty for her. For dessert she got the olive oil cake which she enjoyed. We also got the fries to share since it seemed so popular. Almost all the tables nearby had a platter of fries. This was so good. Perfectly fried and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. read more

5-Star Experience -- Excellent Food, Gracious Service, and Thoughtful Details Date & Time of Visit: 11/23/2025 @ 5:30 PM Came here with my family on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This was my third visit over the span of six years--my previous two visits were in December. This time around, the restaurant was noticeably quiet, unlike my earlier visits when it was bustling. I sincerely hope they stay in business. This visit was to celebrate my sister's birthday, and everything we ordered was excellent. DRINKS My glass of Chardonnay was only $12, which is a great price for a fine-dining restaurant in Los Angeles. My sister ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail--the Prickly Pear Margarita (very L.A., haha!)--and she absolutely loved it. FOOD Everything we ordered was delicious--including the Broccolini. Honestly, if a restaurant can make broccolini taste that good, that already says a lot. STARTERS * Rosemary Focaccia (baked in-house, served with date-brown butter, fava e cicoria, and mortadella mousse) * Seafood Fritto Misto SIDE * Broccolini with Calabrian chili butter and herbs MAIN COURSES * Braised Beef Ravioli (my niece and I both ordered this--excellent) * Hanger Steak with cauliflower mash, kale, red wine veal jus, and anchovy butter DESSERTS Affogatos all around! They also surprised my sister with a complimentary birthday dessert--a delicious Gelato. Not many restaurants do that anymore, so it was a very thoughtful touch. RESTROOMS The ladies' room was clean, and I appreciated that the hand-washing sink is located outside the restroom--an extra hygienic setup if you just want to wash your hands without entering the restroom itself. SERVICE Excellent--courteous, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. PARKING Valet available. read more

Always a great spot for a great meal. The service is excellent, the menu is inviting and the overall experience great. We stuck to pasta on this visit with the bolognese and risotto being our two top favorites. We had to order the fries after the LA Times reported they were the best in the city. They were good but maybe not the hype. We enjoyed dessert but they were so good I forgot to take pictures. It's a definite return when I am back n DTLA. read more

This is my second time reviewing Rossoblu and second time giving it 5 stars. I had colleagues in town who asked me to pick something in DTLA, and I haven't been to Rossoblu in years. I am so glad I chose it! I've often sat outside but we sat inside for this dinner and it does get a bit loud once the tables are all full. But it's a beautiful restaurant! They hand roll pasta daily and it's just so good. We ordered quite a bit... The foccacia was tasty and served with a few types of butter (be careful as one isn't vegetarian). They loved the meatballs. The Valbruna's eggplant is out of this world. And I don't love eggplant. But I remembered eating and loving this dish years ago and happy to say it's just as good today. The stracciatella and fall fruit was perfection...I am obsessed with persimmon! We had the tortelloni (my fave!), the gnocchi (great if you love gnocchi...the way it sticks to the roof of my mouth makes me not a gnocchi fan in general!), and the seasonal pasta special (butternut squash caramelle) was delicious and not too sweet. Someone had the lasagna which they deemed exquisite. We had a few orders of the Apennine fries...yum! We ended with three flavours of gelato and the persimmon flan (which oddly didn't taste of persimmon but rather tasted like normal flan?) I will definitely be back. Service was a little slow, and they forgot to put in two of our orders, and brought us two things we didn't order (which we were then given and fine with), so not sure if our server was simply overwhelmed as it was a busy night, or perhaps he's new? But even that couldn't downgrade my star rating from a 5! Can't wait to come again. read more

Rossoblu - Tortelloni - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was a fantastic meal. We were in the area for a concert at the Shrine and decided to book a reservation. The service was top notch--very attentive and always checking in on us. The restaurant itself was absolutely stunning--beautiful wall murals, intimate lighting--the perfect date night. It is located in the fashion district along an indistinct street, but once you enter the courtyard, it's lovely. It shares the courtyard with a couple other nice restaurants. You can street park, but we opted for valet for $15. They take credit card. The food was to die for. We started with two cocktails, the Oro and the B-Dolce--amazing!!! Super balanced. We shared the all the dishes family style. We started with the In Brodo (Parmesan dumplings in a chicken broth). So yummy and light. We then ordered their butternut squash raviolis with mushrooms (seasonal). Perfectly done and not too sweet. For our main bite, we shared the 8 oz filet and the side of Appenine Fries. Best fries ever!!!! The steak was superb. The only thing I would have loved was some flakey sea salt on top. For dessert, we got complementary vanilla gelato with balsamic drizzle. Amazing flavor!!! We also ordered the chocolate budino tart and the affogato. The star of the budino was the merengue on top. Overall, absolutely lovely dinner and we can't wait to go back and bring friends. read more

A gem of an Italian (Bologna region) restaurant located in the Fashion District of DTLA (Art District adjacent?). The menu, which doesn't feel too large, consists of handmade pasta creations and high quality market-fresh ingredients. I'm not sure if it's newer, but I think they use some wood fired cooking for their meats. On this trip, my friends and I opted to primarily try a few of the pastas and some of the dishes that show case the high quality produce. With the high ceilings and clean, beautiful open layout along with the friendly, attentive service, I would say this place skews upscale, but casual enough that it doesn't feel stuffy. To kick things off, I got a Negroni. I feel like I kinda have to start with this cocktail at nice Italian restaurants. Refreshing and delicious. To start, we ordered braised beef meatballs, Valbruna's eggplant, and a wood grilled and stuffed surf clam dish that I don't think was on the menu at the time. Oh man, I liked the surf calm a lot more than I expected and I was expecting something delicious. The meatballs and eggplant were also very tasty and just prepared so well. For the pastas, we got the tagliatelle al mattarello and the rabbit cappellacci. The pastas were cooked to perfection (I didn't expect anything less) and the sauces and ingredients really shined in each of the dishes. So glad I finally got to go to this place as it was on a list of mine for a while. Definitely lived up to my high expectations and I'm a big fan. We were able to park on the street a block away. The further you venture away from this restaurant in the area, it could get a little sketch so just be mindful on where you park and for how long. read more

Me and my boyfriend came for the first time last year and we had a amazing time ! Service was excellent so we came for our anniversary 5/3 at 5:45pm and we had the pleasure of getting erik as our host. We asked questions about it the menu and he answered them. We got the braised short rib ravioli and the hanger steak. BOTH were excellent along with the drinks. Music was also really good, it put us in a good mood .

Got to randomly try this spot after a work event on a random weeknight in November 2025. Was here with 3 other girls and we managed to eat most of what we had ordered (granted we were hungry!). Let me start off with the service. It was pretty good. Not too sure how busy this restaurant gets during peak days/hours, but it was pretty slow when we were there. There was probably 5 or 6 other parties in the actual restaurant when we got there, so we were able to be seated immediately. It was also already pretty late, so that's probably why there was a lack of patrons. Anyways, our server was pretty attentive and had great timing when checking in on us. It was a great experience on that front. The actual restaurant itself was pretty nice. It's setting is very romantic; it's dark and it's dimly lit with a little lamp in the middle of your table. I would assume this would be a great place to take a date. Now the food! We started off with the Bluefin Crudo Appetizer, which was spectacular! Hands down my favorite of the night. The fish was delicious and the pistachio vinaigrette made such a good play on the overall taste. Rated this a 9.5/10. Then came our meatballs App, which was also good but nothing too crazy there, so we gave this a 7.5/10. Our entrees consisted of the Risotto Stagionale, Hangar Steak, and their Tagliatelle. The Risotto was different, and in the best way possible! My friend and I absolutely loved this one as we looove eggplant and rate it a 9/10. The Hangar Steak was perfectly cooked and the flavor was definitely there. This was rated a 9/10. Lastly, the Tagliatelle was rated a 8/10. We did enjoy the flavor and the pasta was cooked perfectly, but it wasn't something we were raving about at the end of the dinner. I would also like to add a comment on the side of fries we ordered. One of the girls I was with was craving some, so we decided to ordered it and we were all so glad we did. We rated this a 9/10 because OMG - FLAVORRR!! This was a hit! The fries were cooked just right and it was so yummy! Please note that these are thicker fries, but please do get them just for the taste. :) Also - the drinks were "aiight". I think we just ordered them because we all wanted something to wind down with after a long work day. Overall, this place was GREAT! I plan on taking my husband here for a date night one day. I'll update my review when I do! CHEERS & HAPPY EATING! read more

The service was friendly and most of the food was enjoyable, but the crab pasta was disappointing and lacked flavor. On top of that, the noise from the boxing/game place next door was very loud and distracting. I don't know if it's fair to give 3 stars or not, because some parts were very good, but overall the experience fell short." Meatball's were 10/10. read more

First I am biased. Why wouldn't I be considering the owners are co founders of the Nonprofit Regarding Her (a nonprofit accelerating the growth of women entrepreneurs and leaders in food and beverage. https://www.regardingherfoodla.org/)? So that's cool point number one! But cool points two, three, four, and five are the ambiance, service, food, and cocktails! Really open space with high ceilings with a welcoming vibe. And man I would love to throw a party in their outdoor covered patio. Service was fab. I mean we did eat at 530 pm so the attention was high, but as the restaurant got busier, he did continue to check in on us. He also answered our question about some loud noise that was happening and we found out they were tenderizingmeat - this is the real deal folks! Food was great, as expected (they are known for their pastas!). But the nicest surprise was the salad/starter, Stracciatella & Fall Fruits. WE LOVED IT. And the cocktails? Refreshing perfection! Well balanced and unique. Get there for happy hour for discounted pricing. Ladies dinner was a success. read more

Remember when I said that Redbird was my favorite DineLA? Well....I lied. That was before I tried Rossoblu. This review is coming late but certainly better late than never. My partner and I shared their DineLA menu, which was a steal at $55 per person. The standout dish was their tuna crudo which came with a pistachio vinaigrette that paired so well with the tuna I could've cried. Something about the fattiness of the pistachio with the tuna and the unusual flavor combination of the two was addictive. The shallots and capers complimented it beautifully and the cracker held up to the weight of it all which created a truly divine bite. The crab malfadine was phenomenal, one of my favorite restaurant pastas I've ever had, period. Their handmade pasta absolutely sang, the crab and tomato married beautifully and I would probably sell a kidney for this to be on the main menu where I can get it all the time. My partner adored his swordfish, and I agreed. The browned butter shone through in the sauce and complimented the crispy dish perfectly. We got a side of broccolini, which was a good choice because the plates didn't come with a green vegetable. Off their regular menu, we got their eggplant, which we would get again and again if we could. This is one of those dishes that really shows off how a restaurant stands out; the treatment and quality of the ingredients of such a simple dish showcased the talent and care of the kitchen. The service was great, very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The restaurant was pretty poppin' when we walked in but still intimate enough for a date night. Next DineLA, I'll be looking for Rossoblu's menu first, but I hope I'll make it in before that. read more

We came upon Rossoblu while waiting for our reservation to open up across the way. I'm an early bird, so we arrived about 30 minutes prior to our reservation time. We needed a place to chill and relax. Thankfully, it all worked out, we found a new spot! They had just opened up and warmly greeted us. I informed the hostess that we were just in for drinks. She asked if we wanted to sit at the bar, to which we gladly accepted the suggestion. It was a long drive and we wanted something to quench our thirst. We started out with a Negroni and a Vodka Tonic. My date is a very friendly and outgoing woman that works in the restaurant business. She loves people, and striking up conversations with everyone. Initially I had asked if they had Liquor 43, to see if they could make a Carajillo. However, they did not. My date then began asking questions about the the liquor, the Bartender kindly chimed in and conversation began. She then asked about a couple of other spirits, so we had to try out a few different drinks. You know, the flavors, their base, where they originate from, etc. We had a great time talking cocktails and spirits with the gent and tried out a few different drinks. Our serendipitous encounter really set the mood for an amazing night. We had such a great experience, that we almost forgot about our dinner reservations. While we did not get the chance to try the food, the bar experience alone deserved 5 stars! You can tell the people working there enjoy their jobs. It was great conversation, good vibes, and great times! I'll definitely be returning for dinner in the future. read more

Got an opportunity to visit Rossoblu for the first time and it was a great experience (hence, the longer review). We had the tuna crudo, valbruna's eggplant, radicchio salad, swordfish, mushroom maltagliati, dungeness crab mafaldine, citrus tart, blueberry cheesecake gelato, and another gelato that was delocious (wish i remembered the name). We all really liked the crudo, Swordfish and magliatelle, and the tart the most! We all shared some drinks too - the Oro, Cassanova (switched the vodka for gin), B. Dolce, and vino santo - The Oro was our favorite. The food was great but the service is really what made this a fun experience. I had made a reservation earlier in the week and Michael, the manager, was able to make a last-minute change to accommodate an extra person (a surprise visit from my niece). Our server, Eric (Erick?) was also great - He and Michael were so genuine and very attentive! Amazing dinner and looking forward to our next dinner there for some of their special events. read more

Firstly, the service and ambiance were fantastic. Rossoblu is tucked within an area that includes other modern eateries in a not-so-great Los Angeles area (i.e., the fashion district). I'm glad they had a few vegan options for my husband, but their only main vegan option, sweet corn risotto, was not a hit with my husband. For him, corn in small doses is fine, but in this capacity, it's just too much. We had hoped they would have offered a mushroom or veggie aglio e olio pasta since it's pretty simple to whip up, but they did not. He liked the lemony vegan Caesar salad, though. I had the bolognese pasta, which was good, but a little salty for my taste. The best part of the meal for me was definitely the tiramisu. It had a nice chocolatey touch to it, as if they drizzled Hershey's chocolate syrup as its base. read more

We hosted a private dinner here for 14 guests and spent nearly $3,000. Unfortunately the experience ended with service issues (that should have been minor) but evolved into a complete lack of follow-up from management and Ealyssa, who was our contact. This biggest issue is we were overcharged for an extra meal. 14 people attended (and were confirmed in advance via the Google Form that was sent to us), yet we were billed for our original request of 15. I raised this immediately after and followed up multiple times over the course of nearly a month. I received one brief acknowledgment saying it would be looked into, and then... nothing. No resolution. No response at all and radio silence from Ealyssa. Beyond the overcharge, there were other issues: * A custom menu title I submitted in advance was not included. * Food was cleared prematurely without asking if we were finished or wanted to take anything home, so some people didn't even get to try certain food, which was concerning given how much we paid. Mistakes happen. What's most disappointing was the complete absence of communication afterward. It felt like once we paid, any responsibility to address our concerns disappeared. For an event of this cost, it feels unacceptable. I truly wanted to resolve this privately and professionally, but after repeated follow-ups with no response, I'm left sharing this publicly. Customer service shouldn't end when the bill is paid when issues remain unresolved. read more

Excellent again, wonderful ambiance inside, friendly service, and delicious food for our guests. I loved everything, except that in my possibly unpopular opinion, that the torteloini in crema were too al dente, hence not allowing for an optimal interplay of flavor and texture. And that even though I have all my teeth!! But loved the tuna crudo, the buffalo mozzarella, the stracciatella&pome, the funghi pizza, the valbruna's eggplant, and the olive oil cake ... PREVIOUS REVIEW Definitely a double thumbs up!! We went there for a society meeting, were seated in the "Covid-Patio" which appears to have prevailed past the official end of the pandemic. There is a bit more air outside, but admittedly, the inside atmosphere/ambiance is very stylish and appealing. In any case, the food and the service were outstanding. Why the fish I waited so long to come here remains unclear but I definitely regret. We had a preordered menu which covered it all. The house-made focaccia was dangerously good, risking to fill up before the actual items. Antipasti consisting of a beautiful and fresh Citrus Salad as well as Eggplant with tomato sugo, basil and parmigiano. I would have already been happy with just that. But it continued with the Primi: and the unusual beets color of the Seasonal Risotto was initially surprising and asked for caution but it was so good that all resistance melted away and probably became my fav of the evening. The Nonna Lasagne Bolognese was a bit more traditional (well, after all it was defined by the Nonna) and yet did not last very long. And the show must go on: Secondi!! Hangar steak with sunchoke puree, spigarello, red wine jus - a dream and grilled to medium-rare perfection; in addition, the Chicken al Mattone, a lemon chicken on collard greens was crips, tender and moist all at the same time. Goodness gracious. There was no space anymore. And yet, they kept it coming. The dolci were unusual but fascinating experiments away from the usual suspects: The Panna Cotta was very different and yet beautiful and delicious; the For di Latte Gelato with aged Balsamic provided an unexpected antithesis, very nice. So, okay, we squared this one finally away, but away is maybe incorrect, until the next time sounds better. read more

Spectacular experience, food, and service! I'm so glad I chose this place out of all the myriad of LA dining options. The moment we walked in we were warmly greeted and our server was so kind and accommodating. We got the persimmon salad which was DELICIOUS!!! Their famous dumpling soup was sooo warm and hearty (keep in mind its not your traditional dumpling) and the hanger steak was perfection. Its so rare that I enjoy everything that I order but I truly did here. Im coming back to order these exact 3 dishes very soon. read more

Rossoblu - TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE and APENNINE FRIES - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Came for 5pm dinner with a friend. We came early, found street parking and saved ourselves $14 valet parking. The huge courtyard with lights strewn among the trees was impressive and the first thing we saw walking to the restaurant. We saw a class making tortelloni outside. Nice outside patio area with heat lamps. Beautiful overall decor and A+ ambience. The interior of lights, a huge mural created a wow accent wall in the middle of the main dining area. The open concept with a fiery oven and workers added excitement to the dining area. Cons if you're a couple bc we were seated at a small, narrow table where only one person had the comfy booth seat and the other person had the less comfy wooden chair. All our dishes barely fit the tiny table. We chose to share the Tagliatelle and Pasta Trio: potato gnocchi, lasagna and tortellini. Plenty to share between two people. All the pasta and cream from the dishes made us feel heavy. The tagliatelle had a nice flavor, but the noodles were too al dente for my friend's taste. I would've preferred an overall lightness to the food. My brother makes a light delicious lasagna. This lasagna was not light. I liked the generosity of the pasta trio dishes. We felt so heavy that we couldn't finish everything. We were so grateful and happy when our friendly server brought over a comped dessert of ice cream. We immediately felt less heavy from the heavy food thanks to the refreshing dessert. Great service, nice ambiance, but wished the pasta was overall lighter. We came to try the homemade pasta. We did, and agreed we won't be back bc there are so many other restaurants to try. read more

Good every time. The food, the wine, the whole staff, everything about this restaurant is better than you could ask for. The tortelloni are a must. We just went for dinner and ordered the eggplant... twice. It is that special. We also took the pasta making class, which I highly recommend. The owner spends so much time showing you each step. It's fun to do, but also I feel way more confident about making pasta at home. Simply put, this restaurant is favorite for good reason. read more

Great service. Amazing food. The location was surprisingly nice for DTLA. I would definitely recommend this spot.

10/10! Recently visited Rossoblu after doing some beer tasting at the Creature Comforts brewery right next door. We worked up an appetite and noticed that Rossoblu came up as a Michelin reviewed establishment so we had to try it. This place is very romantic and gives a artsy vibe with the decor and location. It was date night for us but I also saw groups dining as well. I sat on the patio which was perfect during a warm Fall night in California. The menu was outstanding with amazing cocktails and flavorful food. You could tell that the food was made to order with only the best ingredients. I had the hangar steak which was perfectly prepared, tender and juicy. I paired it with these amazing carrots that were roasted and placed on a soft pillow of cheese. I never thought that I would call carrots amazing. Highly recommend for a date night where you want to impress the person you're with by showing them a place that feels special and that will give you an elevated dining experience. read more

Came here for DineLA with a friend recently and overall, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't say I'd rave about it either. We started with the Beef Tartare and the Erbazzone. I'm not a huge fan of raw meat, so the tartare wasn't particularly my cup of tea but flavor-wise it wasn't bad (more of a texture thing for me), while the erbazzone was satisfactory for what it was. For the mains, we got the Lobster & Mascarpone Tortelli and the Petit Filet Mignon. I was looking forward to the pasta because I'm a big lobster/crab lover, but to be honest, the lobster pasta was fishier than expected and a bit lacking in flavor overall, however, the filet was wonderful and exactly what you'd want out of a steak. Definitely the highlight of the meal. For dessert, we got each of the two desserts offered on the DineLA menu (Lemon Olive Oil Cake & Hazelnut Semifreddo). The olive oil cake was a bit dry and I've definitely had better olive oil cakes, and the hazelnut dish was very intensely hazelnut to a point where it was a bit overpowering the other ingredients. We also paired the meal with their DineLA 500ml white wine special for an additional $27 (a great deal for about ~4 glasses of wine total). Overall, it wasn't a bad dining experience -- the food option on the Dine LA menu just weren't giving the wow-factor that I had hoped (having researched this spot and its mostly high reviews). The service was good, and the ambiance inside (and outside on the patio) are lovely and perfect for a date night. The portions were a bit small, but kind of to be expected these days at more upscale LA restaurants. I would be open to coming back to try more dishes though. 3.7/5 read more

Absolutely spectacular dining experience!!!!! Arrived and was kindly greeted by Michael up front, escorted to our table, and immediately confirmed our water preference and drink orders. The ambiance is stylish and hip. Within minutes we met our server Erica. In my opinion, a great server creates an exceptional meal. Erica discussed the menu with passion and confidence, describing each dish in detail, and all with a sweet and disarming kindness. She was spot on with her recommendations and created a divine dining experience. We started with the Caesar salad, it was spectacular, glorious anchovies, and beautifully dressed. Perfectly complimented with the focaccia, which had two butters and a bean paste for spreading. Next we were blown away by the Tortelloni. I'm not certain how to best describe, because it was a combination of delicate flavors from the cheese filled pasta, and then a unique preparation that created a textured finish to the pasta that was outstanding! For our main, we savored the delicate and flavorful branzino and a few of the fries. I thought we were done, but someone the pistachio milk cake found its way onto our table, and I can only describe it as a religious experience. I'm not much into sweet desserts, and this was possible the most flavorful and decadent dessert I've had in years. Can not wait to return! read more

The atmosphere is chic. The staff is eager to both help and advise for first timers. The bar has some creative concoctions to tantalize the taste buds. The food is very good and it comes out of the kitchen quickly. I recommend an early-ish reservation if you like to sit, converse and enjoy you meal. read more

What can I say!?!?! Service was impeccable! As I had seen their DineLA menu, I figured I would finally pull the trigger and make a reservation! Actually, I had the chance to check out Rossoblu at the LATimes 101 restaurants back in 2021. I forgot the sample dish they served but it was good enough for me to want to visit this restaurant. It is located at a central location next to a Brewery and another restaurant! The walkway to the restaurant is cute and feels very lively. We were greeted and seated right away! We were offered a non-alcoholic drink which was delicious! We then proceeded to order from the DineLA pre-fixe menu as well as ordered one item from the regular menu as well as 2 drinks. House-Cured Testa What can I say?!?!? It was so tender it melted like butter! The frisee salad paired well with the testa. Zucchini Alla Parmigiana Sooo delectable! Before we knew it, we had devoured it. Beef Brisket Falsogramo I was surprised by both presentation and taste and was surprised at how the egg was cooked into the brisket! Mt. Lassen Ocean Trout The escarole salad played well with this fish! I was surprised! The lemon also added the right amount of acidity! Sweet Corn Risotto Pure deliciousness! Dessert: Stone Fruit Tarlet It was super light and very easy to eat! Definitely enjoyable! As far as drinks: B. Dolce - definitely hit home run Limoncello Martini - reminded me of Italy! I would definitely go back! We were able to find parking, so that wasn't an issue! read more

I went to Rossoblu for an early weeknight dinner after work. We got there a little before 6 and there was plenty of street parking available. The ambience was very cute and was the perfect spot for our girls night out. I'd definitely return for date night, too. Every single member of the staff we interacted with was friendly and very attentive. The service was great. DRINKS We supplemented LA's finest with a few refreshing drinks to cool us down. PALOMA - my friend and I both love a good Paloma, especially when it's hot outside! The Paloma was a pretty pink and the drink was really well balanced. The grapefruit soda was sweet, the lime was bright and tart, and the tequila had a nice bite. The three components really complimented each other nicely. This is a drink my friend and I would both order again. APEROL SPRITZ - On a hot day, who doesn't want to pretend like they're in Italy living la dolce vita?! My friend ordered an Aperol Spritz and let me have a few sips. It wasn't too bitter and had nice notes of sweetness. FOOD SEAFOOD FRITTO MISTO - This fritto misto included calamari, rock shrimp, and white bait. The fried seafood was served with lemons, Calabrian chili sauce, and salsa rosa aioli. The lemon always makes it feel a bit lighter, so we were sure to spritz some on top of everything. The seafood was tender, well cooked, and didn't feel too heavy. The Calabrian chili sauce was herbaceous with a subtle chili flavor. It had a nice burst of acidity that went really well with the fritto misto, and was the sauce I kept coming back to the most. The salsa rosa aioli was also really nice. I loved both sauces and thought they went well with the fritto misto. MALTAGLIATI - I've never had this pasta shape before, but absolutely loved it. These little squares of goodness were perfectly al dente and mushroom forward. We both absolutely loved this dish and can't wait to eat it again in the future. HALF CHICKEN - This chicken was prepared in an oven on top of a brick. Although it was incredibly tender, my friend and I both found this to be a little too salty, at least for our tastes. Compared to the other dishes, this was our least favorite, but probably because the other dishes were so delightful and perfectly balanced. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and are looking forward to coming back and trying even more dishes here! read more
