Rosso Italian: Reviews & Ratings

Good was incredible! Julio is an amazing waiter with suggestion that should be taken. The Gnocchi was the best I have ever had! Everything from the wine suggestion to the suggestion and change that was not even on the menu. The true Italian feel and spirit of Julio and Rosso’s is amazing.

Parking is in the same block - garage. They can validate. The average rating is slightly inflated IMO… the food is good here - but nothing outstanding. Pasta could be more al dente. Can recommend their zucchini chips. The surrounding area is a bit sketch - some homeless can disturb the peace.

We dropped in for a light lunch on Friday. The food is very authentic Italian! We had calamari, carpaccio, and focaccia bread with amazing pesto dipping suace! The presentation was beautiful! The service was wonderful! We will certainly star this as a place to visit when in town next January! I highly recommend it for authentic! Thanks for a great dining experience!

Absolutely amazing. Juilio was a great server and did a beautiful job explaining the dishes to us and gave us delicious recommendations. He recommended the Focaccia with whipped Ricotta, the Pappadelle Short Rib and the Tirolese Gnocchi. We loved it all! Will definitely be coming back!

Went here during a very busy Sunday night just after the stadium event had ended and had reservations. Sat quickly, even though our waitress was extremely busy with a huge section she did a great job. We ordered the whipped ricotta with hot honey as an appetizer, then I got the ny strip tagliatto, my wife got the fucellini rosso. Everything was great the food was excellent One of the best italian food experiences we have had in Adizona we will for sure be coming back.

First time checking out Rosso Italian and I’m already planning a return trip. The place has a really cool vibe - modern décor with pops of red (my favorite color), which definitely adds to the atmosphere. We came in for a pre-show dinner and drinks after hearing friends rave about the Blueberry Espresso Martini and the Burratella pizza - both totally lived up to the hype. That martini? Dangerous in the best way. We planned on just one, but after the first sip it was clear there’d be a round two. Who knew blueberry and espresso could be such a perfect combo? We started with the Zucchini Chips - light, crispy, and so addictive we finished them way too fast. Then came the Burratella pizza, which was absolute perfection: thin crust, great flavor, and just the right amount of chew. Our waitress was friendly and kind, but service overall was on the slower side - especially considering there were only a few other tables when we arrived. Nothing major, just noticeable. All in all, loved the food, drinks, and ambiance. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu (and probably have another Blueberry Espresso Martini).

AMAZING FOOD! This was the best restaurant we had in AZ. Everything about the calamari was delicious even the shredded carrots and zucchini! We ordered a pizza and short rib pasta! The short rib was so good with the delicious house made noodles. Tender and flavorful short ribs. Pizza was wood fired and delicious but a little on the thin side. Drinks were good but could be stronger. Service was good!
