    This is my second time coming for Happy Hour, and again, lived up to my expectations!!! The service is amazing and the food took a lot shorter than expected, especially since we ordered two pizzas and salads, along with our drinks. The pizzas were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them both, the truffle and seasonal butternut squash, enough! The restaurant itself is very pretty on the inside and the lighting is light just enough, without being too bright. The manager is also very lovely and you can tell they really care about the restaurant and customers. Will definitely be coming back!!

    We were excited to come back to the Rossi for happy hour. Unfortunately, our experience this time did not match the expectations we left with after our last happy hour at the rossi. the menu completely changed, which we were disappointed about. we went there expecting staples such as their infamous pickle martini and other popular shareables. when we substituted our favorites for current menu items, we were underwhelmed and let down. although our servers were attentive, they were indifferent and disinterested in our needs as customers. overall, our experience was lackluster. we will plan to attend happy hours elsewhere in the future.

    The ambiance and service were great. The menu selections were not so much. The short rib past dish was recommended and came with little to no protein in all three that were ordered. Pasta was stuck together and not cooked through, overall not a good dish. The salmon, hanger steak and Rossi burger were all accepted, but nothing memorable. The drinks were good, priced accordingly, the standout being the dirty martinis that were ordered.

    Overall, the food and service were great. The only problem was that it was so dark and cramped in the room we were sitting in. I think the tables could have been spaced out a little better along the window as there was room. The biggest problem was that it was so dark, you couldn’t see your food. And then when the check came, you had to use a flashlight to sign the check. Overall, food great but way too dark for restaurant.

    Excellent! Our first time here and our party of 4 loved it. Bread service was amazing, so delicious. Drinks were varied and great. Entrees and desserts were all good and ambiance was nice - great music that was set at a perfect volume. Thanks for the wonderful service.
