When we first arrived many of the servers ignored my husband and I for 15 minutes till we finally got served water. The cacio e pepe was over seasoned with pepper and not warm. Unfortunately wont be returning. read more

Went here 3 days in a row when I attended a conference. First night got the short rib pasta which was seriously amazing. Second and third night got the pizza. Great customer service (I only sat at the bar area). read more

Fabio was amazing. Food was awesome. Recommend Maccheroni Al forno, Tagliatelle short rib was perfect (not too strong of a flavor like short rib can be). Get the calamari sautéed. (Not on menu) Bartenders were excellent too! read more

Rosso Italian - Chicken with prosciutto and side of spaghetti with cheese - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We had a great experience at Rosso Italian! Just went for a light dinner of pizza (Tartufata) and some wine. My partner wanted no sauce, I wanted sauce and Rosso made us both happy with a side of marinara. Service was great, the location is right in the middle of all the action downtown and there was plenty of seating. I was surprised by how tasty the gluten-free crust was compared to other spots I've tried. We will be back! read more

Pomo brand delivers the goods per usual! Music is s bit too loud for such a small space. Food and service was excellent. Pork chop Milanese surprised me, tender and tasty. Overall great experience although a tiny bit pricey. read more

Food was very good, but it's too warm. This place isn't cheap, you would think they wouldn't skimp on the AC. Turn the AC down, it's 117 degrees outside! read more

I need to tell you something. I am uber particular about where I choose to eat. My grandson and I attended the Phoenix Symphony and had reservations at the Compass. I was remiss in checking out the menu beforehand - opting for the pleasure of rotating on top of the Sheraton and seeing Phoenix from various viewpoints. However, upon being led to our seat - I did not find the view I was hoping for (being blocked by small tables). Additionally, they attempted to seat us at a table with partial views of the city in the middle of the restaurant (wherein I had requested a window seat and provided a credit card to hold said seat). The menu was disappointing with not one nouveau type of meal offered. I thanked them and left to the chagrin of my grandson. We walked a few blocks looking in and out of various restaurants until we happened upon Rosso's Italian. I have standards. The restaurant was quaint when you got into the dining room, passing the well stocked bar. I saw a variety of wines that looked interesting. I asked for a sip of an Italian wine I had tasted the last time I was in Italy. Delioso! I ordered a glass. I noted "handmade pasta dishes" on the menu and thought "yeah sure". But I was assured that the pasta dishes were done every day fresh! Ok, out came the enteees. Are you kidding? I had the best gnocchi Tirolese I have ever had and my grandson ordered the slow roasted pappardelle short rib entree. Oh my God. So good. Accompanied by my Brunello Montalcino- I couldn't have been more pleased! read more

Fabio was fabulous!! Attentive & friendly service! Bartenders were also great & wonderful service! read more

Sorry to post this but got pasta and two cocktails with my buddy. Total without tip came out to around $65 dollars. The atmosphere was nice and service was great. The pasta (vodka sauce) was mediocre. It was tasty, but could have used more flavor. Pasta was not fully cooked. If it was cheaper by half the experience would have been worth it, but the prices were not justifiable read more

Sorry mate, this is one of the worst Italian spots I've ever been to. I mean, it was pretty unappealing. I ordered the classic cacio de Pepe had no flavor. My partner ordered sausage pasta that had horrible plating, barely any pasta, random piece of spaghetti within a rigatoni (or similar) dish. The server forgot our drinks until we were ready to leave. It was a bad experience and the food is not worth walking the one block for. read more

Good excellent, service fantastic - Matteo was awesome Came back tears very in two days! read more

Homemade, authentic pasta and wonderful service. Mateo was our server and he was extremely attentive. 5 stars!

Food quality can use a bit of improvement: arugula in the Carpaccio is 20 % not fresh. The beef itself does look fresh. The Frilled Focaccia is ok, needed some salt -- but it's a healthier option & to be considerate for people who is sensitive to salt (health reason). Both of the pasta dishes were on the dot -- good portion and delicious. The service was great! The hostess was friendly and helpful (on the phone when we called about parking situation. We parked in the City Scape Parking Garage & got out parking ticket validated. Outdoor seating was very nice, fresh air and people watching -- loving the downtown-big-city atmosphere. Our server, Fabio, was definitely friendly and attentive. We were pleased with our dining experience over all. There was just a little mishaps with the Carpaccio dish & parking situation -- this information should be mentioned somewhere during the reservation process (Downtown's traffic & constructions is a huge mess). read more

I was thoroughly disappointed. Their pasta dishes were over $20 with no protein. We ordered calamari which had more vegetables than actual calamari. This place is overpriced for a simple pasta dish with no frills or protein. I do not recommend read more

This was our first visit and we were very happy with our choice. The main entrees were delicious and the tiramisu was the best we have ever had. The service was great. Many of the staff have Italian connections or heritage. Our waiter, Mateo, provided welcome recommendations and quickly met our every need. It was a slow Sunday evening, so even the chef came out to visit. Very friendly and welcoming. We will certainly return and are happy to recommend this restaurant. read more

Tried to stop in at 430 in the afternoon to an empty restaurant to find out they cannot seat one person. The look I was given by the male host was one person was just not enough for him to bother. I travel a lot and frequently run into issues being seated coming in by myself but this was was extra uncomfortable. Almost as if I did not meat the criteria to be in there. If you are solo, don't even try and come here. Shame. I was looking forward to trying their food. read more

This is a popular eatery in the downtown area. We were here for a work meeting so enjoyed some nice drinks and appetizers that our waiter skillfully juggled for our large party. The atmosphere is lively with a cozy/small interior as well as outdoor seat. I was looking forward to my tagliatelle short rib dinner but it was so salty. Others mentioned the same thing so maybe just an off night. read more

We sat in the small terrace just in front; a busy and vibrant scene on 1st Street. The service was prompt and attentive. The house salad was more than just the basics with a tasty caesar style seasoning. The branzino main course was delicious with well roasted vegetables , fingerling potatoes. I recommend Rosso Italian for lovers of Italian style entrees. Hats off to the service, who did a fine job in spite of the prime time rush. read more

Food was spaghetti with tomato sauce poured on top for 75.00. I will pass this on to the next patron...

Mateo was among! The food was excellent! A great way to start our trip. Authentic Italian food

Nice place to hang out with friends, we like every food we ordered, they are so delicious, recommended. read more

Really fresh and delicious food, the service was fast and efficient, nice environment.

I took my out of town friend to Rosso which I've been dying to try and it sure did not disappoint! The food was authentic and fantastic. Great vibes! But what really made it the best experience was our waiter Fabio! He made our night. Between the service he gave us, allowing me to customize my meal and also his great personality! 5 stars for sure read more

Amazing food. Everything was beyond delicious and service was great! 10/10 would def recommend

Great food, great staff, absolutely splendid, desserts, and reasonable prices. We love this place to coming back. And my wife's single friend was lusting after the chef read more

This place is really good. We got the short rib tagliatelle, gnochhi, a Margherita pizza, and one of the kids got a spagetti Bolognese. All the dishes were amazing, the tagliatelle is some of the best I've had, and I really liked the gnochhi. The pizza was good but the crust was pretty crispy for the style and it didn't reheat that well. The service was stellar and attentive. I will be back. read more

Appetizers were super yummy! The staff is always so attentive and friendly... definitely a place we stop in every time we need food before or after a game. read more

honestly a really good experience! Big Pomo fan so I was excited to try this - the buratella pizza was SO good! Maybe a little heavy handed on the hot honey but we ate all of it so definitely not that bad lol. We both got espresso martinis which we both rated 7.2/10 - the cannoli topper was cute but the drink overall was just okay. fun date night to sit on the patio and people watch! service was good - will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu read more

The dishes here are incredibly tasty--it's easy to taste and feel how fresh the pasta is. The atmosphere is also nice; we like being able to go out for delicious Italian food without feeling as though we need to dress up and shut up. The service is quite slow, and the staff are often a bit brusque, but I imagine that's because Italian dining culture focuses more on the food/wine and less on big smiles and fast service. Ultimately, this is new favorite downtown spot, and I can't wait to enjoy the bolognese again. read more

The polenta with short ribs were actually good, but for some reason that Caesar salad tasted like something I made at home. It must've been the dressing. I would pass on the salad next time. read more

Such nice staff!!! We didn't like our drinks at first so they gladly replaced them and were so nice about it. The food was incredible and we will absolutely be coming back:) I got the polenta short rib and my partner got the fusilli Rosso and they were both phenomenal Lovely atmosphere and just an overall wonderful time! So excited to come back and enjoy more delicious evenings read more
