    Meatball
    Jeff M.

    We've been looking forward to trying Rosso ever since hearing about it, and as someone who is always searching for great Italian food, it quickly became a must-visit. I grew up with a Sicilian grandmother, and from the moment we sat down, Rosso reminded me of the Sunday dinners I enjoyed growing up. The interior is dimly lit, warm, and inviting. There's also a patio, but we chose to sit inside and soak in the atmosphere. After being seated, nobody came to our table for about ten minutes. As it turned out, the very kind and engaging owner ended up serving us himself for the entire evening. We loved hearing the inspiration behind the restaurant and stories about his mother and grandmother. The conversation immediately made us feel right at home. We started with the Mozzarella Stick, which is absolutely massive and served over their signature red sauce. That sauce is the star of the show, comforting, nostalgic, and packed with flavor. The owner shared that he sources many of his ingredients locally, including the tomatoes, and it truly shows. Next came the meatball, which has just enough sausage mixed in to make it incredibly tender and flavorful. Honestly, I could make an entire meal out of a bowl of these meatballs. Once again, that outstanding red sauce stole the spotlight. The only thing I wished for was some Italian bread to help soak up every last drop. For our entrée, we ordered the Chicken Alla Vodka. After falling in love with the red sauce, I didn't think things could get much better, but the vodka sauce was outstanding. The cold burrata slowly melts into the sauce as you eat, adding an extra layer of richness and creaminess. The dish comes with two large, perfectly cooked chicken cutlets and a side of homemade pasta. The portions here are huge and very fairly priced. When you eat like a true Italian family, meals are meant to be shared, enjoyed, and lingered over, and Rosso embraces that philosophy. The entire restaurant feels family-oriented, and I really appreciate that. The owner made us feel even more like family when he surprised us with a slice of olive oil cake topped with fresh cream. We were already stuffed from the feast, but one look at that cake and we gladly made room. It was the perfect ending to an exceptional meal. I can't recommend Rosso highly enough. Their early success is well deserved, and I hope it continues for many years to come. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the owner's hospitality is something special. We can't wait to return.

    What a fantastic way to celebrate Father's Day! Everything was amazing. Service was excellent as well! We need a location OTP.

    The place was pretty much bomb. No complaints, no crazy frills just good old-fashioned Italian food. Everything we got was great. Came with a small group, we got the giant mozzarella stick, the clam bake, the meatball as appetizers. Chicken Parm, manicotti, and black spaghetti with lobster and a salad for dinner. And you know we had to try the tiramisu and olive oil cake. Service was solid, timing was really good from the kitchen. The atmosphere is great nothing but good things to say. It's not gonna blow you away, but it's exactly what you want when you want grandma's Italian. Definitely go to bar Pilar in the back and get yourself a fantastic cocktail while you wait for your table

    I was contacted by Scott, the GM at Rosso, after our last visit. He apologized for the experience we had and invited us to come back and give it another shot, promising to personally handle everything. We did so tonight, and it was an all around fantastic experience. The calamari was some of the best I've had. Fresh, crispy, and not at all greasy. I enjoyed my negroni very much, and we all enjoyed our entrees, and especially the house made pastas. Service was attentive and the staff worked together to make sure that food and drinks were delivered quickly. I am really glad we have them another chance to provide the experience we were expecting the first time around. We will be back. I was not asked to update my review or to delete the previous one. I respect that most of all.

We arrived at 6 pm and were immediately taken to our booth next to the bar. The restaurant's theme is currently, Under the Sea, and they didn't miss one detail. Our server was knowledgeable and kind and shared the specials for the evening, the lasagna and a lobster pasta dish and we couldn't resist! I started with a Caesar salad and my friends shared an olive/cheese appetizer. It was so delicious. We chatted while enjoying the music, and looking around at the decor. Once our main dishes arrived, we were so pleased with the presentation and the flavor was on point. I paced myself with the lasagna and had saved a small piece of the complimentary bread because I wanted to leave room for dessert. We all enjoyed our meal and one of the owners came to the table to check in with us about our food. We had the remainder of our meals boxed up and ordered the vanilla gelato, the Nona's lemon pie, and the chocolate lava cake. It was the perfect ending to a great dinner and wonderful experience. We will return again.

And the food, forgetta bout it. We went with our kiddos and had half the menu. All of us trying each others food. All of it amazing. With that, we made a point to act like it was 80-90s era and didn't use our phones, so no pics.

For an appetizer, we got the mussels which were probably some of the best mussels I have ever had using the bread to soak up the sauce was divine. Truly delicious. For the pasta, I got the the tortelli de vitello which was so good. Some of us at the table also tried the shrimp linguine which was delicious and so fresh as well as the chicken parm which was MASSIVE and came with a great side of pasta. We also tried the little pasta shells/ears with sausage and broccolini and it was delish. Truly these dishes were stunning and cannot wait to have it again! To wrap up the dinner, we got some coffees and the tiramisu... Which was delicious and as stunning as everyone says. Overall, this meal was divine. The vibes of the restaurant really bring it up because it is so calm and classic and just such a great place for a lovely meal. 10/10

Free small parking lot in front. Free extra parking across the street. The total was about $150 for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and a dessert. Pros The quiet, intimate, and classy atmosphere was exactly what I needed for my family. When we first arrived, our table was not ready and we had to wait outside. However we were given continuous updates on when the table would be ready, they apologized, and they were very understanding. Considering we were a large party in an intimate space, we understood and only waited about 20 minutes before the table was ready. You could tell the food was fresh, the orders came fast, and the service was amazing. The fresh in house pasta took everything to the next level. It was the perfect night out. Cons The establishment is intimate so I do not think it would ideal for extra large parties. I had a party of 8 at 8PM but I dont know if they could have accomodated us if it was any earlier during prime dinner time. I wish they had a better parking situation but its not bad and its free. Would I Recommend: Absolutely! I will be returning! No complaints. Follow me here on Yelp and @jessreviewss on Tik Tok/Instagram for more.

Needless to say, we enjoyed our experience here for dinner. Husband and I came to celebrate my birthday - he was a bit upset they didn't offer anything for my birthday even though he notated it on the reservation, but I didn't really care for it as I don't like having the attention on me. This place is hard to miss as it's right on Roswell Rd. There is complimentary valet parking available, but there's also free parking at a deck just a few steps away from the restaurant entrance. We were greeted by the hostess as soon as we walked in and the restaurant was already very busy for a Saturday 6 pm dinner. Our server was fine, and the food was decent. I opted for the blackberry fiz mocktail, which was super sweet at first, but with a good mix, it was super refreshing. For starters, we shared the eggplant balls (a must get here!) and the bread service. The eggplant balls were definitely shareable and were probably our favorite thing we ate. The bread service you could probably skip - we wish it was served with vinegar instead of just oil and an olive tapenade. For entrees, I ordered one of the dinner specials, grilled branzino served with broccolini and potatoes. My husband ordered the ravioli. I really enjoyed the branzino, it was tender and the skin was cooked crispy. I loved that the broccolini was charred enough, but wish the potatoes were cooked a bit more. The capers added the needed saltiness to the dish, though I wish this was served with lemon or something to balance out the flavors. My husband enjoyed his ravioli but found it too heavy with the cream sauce. We thought this was a decent place for dinner, but nothing really stood out besides the eggplant balls.

It's cozy, (plenty warm) and romantic! It was 32 degrees outside, but completely comfortably warm, inside. You truly wouldn't know you weren't inside. Any way, I've eaten my way through Inman Park but somehow hadn't yet indulged in the delectable Sotto Sotto. This might just be my new favorite Italian in Atlanta. It was absolutely delicious. Across the table (thanks to the half portion option), we tried at least 8 items on the menu! Each one was more special then the next. Our incredible server Kagen (sp?) walked us through each section of the menu absolutely perfectly. As a result we ended up ordering some of his favs from across the menu. In my photos you can see what we ordered, but my recommendation is to simply ask your server what they like and you'll undoubtably get something stellar. In a market of many, great Italian options, Sotto Sotto might just be the BEST and my new fav!!! I absolutely can't wait to return.

However the server we had tonight was one of the worst experiences I've had especially for a place that is trying to sell an upscale dining environment he greeted the table by saying (after we asked how he was doing) "I'm doing f-ing horrible I'm tired and feel like sh*t we had such a busy night last night" he was not very knowledgeable about menu or drinks and his overall appearance gave very much unhygienic he also forgot to put in our food order so we waited double the time and said that since we already had appetizers and the other table did not have any food that we could wait to order food, also just assumed how someone in my group wanted there steak cooked so had to wait for that to be redone, he was all over the place and did not check in on us very often we needed things like refills or salt pepper etc. and went without because bad service I don't think he should have been working he obviously did not want to be there he also failed to mention that the kitchen was closing so we did not get to try the desserts. There were a couple of other things but don't want a 5 page review I cannot remember his name but a taller white guy with a messy bun and tired eyes. We still left a tip because that's what you do when you go out but if he treated his other tables like he did us I wouldn't be surprised if we were the only ones that tipped. I suggest not going on a busy night to get good service I guess. My group was 4 ppl 2 couples trying to enjoy a nice double date without the craziness of v-day next time we will celebrate days before. Will for sure be going back and hope you give them a try but if that's how the waiter greets himself please go ahead and ask for a different server!!!!

After expressing that I was open to any variety of dishes, in hopes of venturing out from my "usual" of chicken parmigiana, Linda made several very thoughtful recommendations. I enjoyed the light flavors of the Agnolotti pasta, and the richness of the Marsala chicken. I am personally not a huge fan of mushroom taste, but the dish was not mushroom forward at all and the Marsala sauce was perfect. I also tried the cannellini beans after both Linda and her counterparts insisted that it's the most underrated dish on the menu and there were absolutely correct! I could have eaten the beans as my main dish and been perfectly happy. I finished it all off with the tiramisu, which was the perfect balance of sweetness and a very authentic taste about it! Anyone who knows me personally knows that I don't eat leftovers, but I reheated my leftovers on the stove and it was just as great as the night before - making the dishes well worth their value! The restaurant has a very quiet and respectable ambiance. The bar is inviting, while the seating area offers both group or family style dinner tables or more intimate tables tucked away.
