The Rossi Kitchen & Bar

The Rossi is one of our favorite spots in the Short North! Their chicken parm is absolutely phenomenal - the saude is rich and flavorful, and the chicken is perfectly cooked, never dry. The mussels are always delicious. The bread service is a must! The butter with black salt takes it to another level! We also tried the mushroom pesto pizza, and it was incredible. The drinks can be excellent, depending on the bartender. Or good otherwise. A special shoutout to Amanda, the general manager - she’s fantastic! Always smiling, checking in on tables, and making sure everything is running smoothly. Rossi is a must-visit in the Short North!

I came in to celebrate my birthday, and Lindsey and Grace made it an unforgettable experience! Lindsey crafted amazing drinks, while Grace ensured everything was perfect. They recommended the Truffle Pizza and the French 75—both were fantastic. I’ll definitely be back for happy hour!

ROSSI BAR, YOU NAILED IT! The IYKYK espresso martini was TOP. NOTCH. The real star of the show: the salmon with parmesan risotto and black truffle... truly superior doesn't even do it justice! The flavors were expertly balanced, and the presentation was stunning. HUGE shoutout to our server, Rick, who was super friendly and attentive - made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We were given free gift cards from a friend and popped in to check out this restaurant. It was so classy and swanky and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We started off with a couple of drinks that were delicious and moved on to a couple of appetizers. The appetizers were so unique and both were really good. We ordered a pizza for your main entree and a couple more drinks and again all of it was amazing. We have already told all of our friends how good it was and are planning another trip!

This is definitely a contender for Columbus’ best pasta. Have been waiting to review until I had experienced both the table service & dining in at the bar! Great selection of liquor, quick and attentive service, and best of all, HALF OFF WINE on Wednesdays! Pasta, wine, ambient environment. Will be back!

My daughter and I ate there last night. The food was good but not at the level one would expect for the price. The pizza was amazing but would have loved some salt or cheese that was never offered. We enjoyed the creamy pasta rossi with slightly rubbery chicken. We sat at the bar and did not receive attentive service at all. When we were ready to check out we sat with our credit card out for 15 minutes before being noticed (and they were not busy.) Overall disappointing, mostly service related.

The ambiance was everything! You can go here for a dressed up night out, or keep it relaxed and casual with a group of friends. Make sure to book a reservation! The food is amazing! Make sure to try the bread service! 10/10 would go back again and will for Happy Hour very soon!

We went there for my sons birthday celebration, the food was really good. We had Rossi burger, Truffle pizza( moms favorite with no red sauce), crust was awesome. We had fried ravioli , bruchetta and calamari which were all good. Bruchetta bread was a bit soggy in the middle. I would wanna go back to try other shareables that sounded all good. That would be a nice if they had a small candle with the desert that we ordered since they already knew we were there for a birthday:(
