The Rossi Bar + Kitchen

Hands down, The Rossi is one of my top two favorite restaurants. I’ve been a loyal customer for years and years, and they never disappoint. I’ve had just about everything on the menu and it’s all delicious. I’m excited they have the lamb lollipops back on the appetizer menu with the option to get 3 or 5 (get 5!). The bread service is the best bread I’ve ever had. Seriously. And you can never go wrong with the Caesar salad, the Rossi burger, or a pizza. The drinks are always spot on too.

We came here during happy hour and was I was excited to finally visit. Parking is the usual paid street parking. The restaurant is beautiful, the bar is so classy, and I would describe the atmosphere as cool retro jazz. It was a Tuesday evening, very calm and quiet, except for the kitchen noises. Their menu changed slightly, I think they had their pizzas for happy hour previously, but it wasn't this time. However, the OH pizza was delicious, crispy, sweet, spicy, fantastic. I would recommend this pizza, it's very good. We also got the meatballs, bruschetta, and truffle popcorn. I was not expecting the meatballs to be two massive balls, it was good and delicious, just a bit too salty. The popcorn was a bit soggy, but truffle flavor was good. The bruschetta also came on just two slices of bread and covered in tomato and balsamic vinaigrette goodness. The appetizers we got during happy hour ranges from $3-$4. We also got the mini Cosmo and Lemon Drop, and chardonnay to sip and those were good to pair with everything. I preferred the Lemon Drop a bit more, it gave a good sour and sweet balance. Overall, with mini drinks, appetizers, and pizza, the cost was about $53 before tip. It's not too bad when we shared with 3 people. I would come back for their pizza and a couple apps! I really like the atmosphere of the bar and staff was very nice and patient with us. Staff was nice to accommodate us and allowed us to choose somewhere else to sit. I would recommend this place for a casual date, a drink, and a delicious pizza. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the decor of the restaurant. I feel like outside of happy hour, it may be a bit expensive including parking, but it was pretty good during happy hour.

Originally we were going to go to another restaurant but thankfully they closed their kitchen early. The food here was absolutely amazing! I got the pasta Rossi and he got the salmon. We also got bruschetta as an appetizer and it was all absolutely delicious!! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Thank goodness the other place was closed. I would definitely recommend going here and will be going back in the future when I'm in town!

What happens when you blend the atmosphere of a classy 60’s Italian joint with the playlist of all the 00’s high school prom playlist (second hand serenade and fallout boy)… The Rossi. Food was fantastic service was a little off (we had to ask for several common items including dessert) but the manager was attentive.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rossi Kitchen and Bar in Columbus, and we were thoroughly impressed with our experience. This charming establishment quickly won us over with its inviting atmosphere and delicious food. As a lover of pizza, I couldn't resist trying their offerings in this department. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The pizza at Rossi Kitchen and Bar is simply outstanding. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, while the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Each bite was a delightful explosion of taste, and I found myself savoring every slice. On the other hand, my wife is a pasta aficionado, and she was equally thrilled with her choice. The pasta dishes at Rossi Kitchen and Bar are a true testament to their culinary expertise. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and well-balanced.

We indulged in a couple of their signature cocktails, and they were expertly mixed and absolutely delicious. Their bartenders are actual mixologist as well. They understand the chemistry of alcohol as well! Overall, our experience at Rossi Kitchen and Bar was exceptional. The quality of the food, the attentive service, and the inviting atmosphere all contributed to a memorable evening.

The food was phenomenal! I had the Carbonara and from the first bite to the last, it was tasty, just the right temperature, well plated and delectable! I had to have someone take my plate so that I didn't lick it clean! Paired with the bread service, I was able to take that fluffy, homemade bread and dip it right into that rich, creamy Alfredo carbonara! Yum! Highly recommended!! Add a glass of riesling for a coup detat of the taste buds! Thank you!!
