"Amazing atmosphere, we went on Saturday night and there was live piano and opera - amazing."
"The place was cosy and decorated for the season (we were around in late January to little hearts and rosy tinsel) and the live piano made for a very romantic atmosphere."
"It is also a lively place with live music and singing."
"Live singers who come to your table to ask for any special songs you may wish to hear."
"The atmosphere was great, very upscale and they even had opera singers to entertain."
"The atmosphere is quiet but warm."
"The atmosphere is very nice making me feel like in ‘God Father’ movie."
Cons:
"The decor and ambience is pretty dated and stuffy."
"But lots of screaming drunk middle-aged white businessmen ruin the atmosphere."
"The music choice was a little odd for the decor though, sounded like a combination of country and rock!"
"It's clear that Rossini's is an oblivious relic, content to cater to its crowd of gullible tourists and aging taste-budless bingo players with its staff of arrogant hacks."
Service
Pros:
"The service was exceptional and the food was fantastic."
"The service went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the food was amazing."
"Very professional and friendly service."
"Staff was friendly and attentive."
"The service here is simply impeccable and as good or better than some Michelin Star restaurants."
"The attentive staff is well heeled and make you feel very welcomed."
"Staff really know proper table service."
Cons:
"The bartender was more interested in chatting and drinking with her regulars than taking care of me."
"If you show up an hour before closing you will not get good service."
"The server was in a rush making our first visit there not so pleasant."
"Service was slow."
"We had a waiter with a horrible attitude that ruined the experience."
"Then, we were not provided a wine menu because wine was listed 'per bottle' so somehow we appeared as people that wouldn’t order a bottle."
"Waiters were almost combative when I pushed back and asked for explanation."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Delicious homemade pasta, Osso buco, seafood and lamb."
"The food is amazing (and always comes out pretty quick)."
"The food is outstanding."
"The best Fettuccine Alfredo I've ever had and my partner's Seafood Pasta had so much seafood that we couldn't see the mound of pasta underneath."
"The culinary experience at this restaurant is nothing short of extraordinary, with each dish bursting with unforgettable flavors."
"The food is superb."
"The food is as if you were in Italy."
Cons:
"Avoid this place, the food is not great and the portions are small and is very overpriced."
"The pesto was not good. The basil was dark and bitter, not fresh as it should be."
"While the food can be a little inconsistent with quality and taste, I think that's what makes it authentic."
"The toppings were DISGUSTING--stale and smelly 'meatballs' and 'sausages' indistinguishable from each other or from very old turds."
"Fish was neither fresh nor properly prepared."
"The food was cold and poor."
"Got spaghetti w olive oil and cracked pepper. Not right!"
Value
Pros:
"Not cheap yet worth the visit."
"Expensive, but worth the splurge."
"And while not cheap, considering the quality of the food and service, the prices are moderate for the neighborhood."
"Food was incredible, service gracious, bill reasonable."
"Booked a table for 8, smooth reservation process. Great value."
Cons:
"You pay for the ambiance and the white table cloth experience."
"The price is a little high though."
"Paid over $350 for 2 for good Italian food but certainly nothing special."
"A little over priced by the portion size."
"The prices are on the high side."
"The soup was really nice but none of the other dishes was exceptionally good or large, so it seemed overpriced and not worth it."
