Italian fare amid industrial-chic spot. Steve Samson’s Bolognese-inspired menu, including handmade pastas and Italian wines.
I love vibes, I love amazing quality food, I love alcohol, and I freaking love amazing service. Sadly didn't make a reservation but no worries I was not going to leave empty handed. They gave us an amazing bar experience. We had an amazing bartender, Noah thank you for keeping us entertained and taking us on a drinking journey. This place hit all the right spots. JUST GO AND EXPERIENCE THIS!
We had a corporate dinner event at Rossoblu. The reservation for the group and selecting the pre-fixed menu was efficient to coordinate. The outdoor patio seating area is very nicely set up. The waiters were extremely attentive and checked in often for water refills or drinks. They brought out the individual courses. The house bread and dips were a great start to the tasting menu. Unique twists on traditional Italian recipes - eggplant, lasagna, risotto, gelato with balsamic....all of which were very well liked. Overall, highly recommend the unique experience and wonderful service.
Came here on a Saturday night, same day reservation. Bread and salad were solid! Pasta was okay. Do not recommend the broth with cheese cubes. Bread and dip combo might have need the best I've had. Loved the anchovy butter. Very good spread for bread. It was soft and crispy on the outside. Salad had a big portion. Anchovy vinaigrette also delicious and flavorful. Not sure what the deal was with the broth but it was basically bland chicken stock with salty cheese cubes. The agnolotti was very dry on the inside. The signature tagliatelle was just okay, nothing spectacular. Overall, was okay. Don't think I would come here again. Everything started off good. Service was fast and openers were great. The. Everything slowed down.
This place is amazing !!! We walked in and the server Colin greeted us with a big smile and went over the menu and explained the food comes when it’s ready. Colin made great suggestions and was on top of our service all night. The bread was 1/2 a loaf and the spreads for them were out of this world. The salad had perfect amount of dressing and delicious the pork meatballs were on a skewer and just perfect. The best part of the night was the enormous pork chop! It was bigger than the serving dish. Cooked juicy and flavorful The chicken and sausage was great too! The cooked greens a perfect match
Went for Valentine's such a great experience food was amazing. Drinks were great. The chicken dish was so delicious the meatball appetizers and citrus salad were very filling alone...the drink with apples ? ? ? ?
Downtown LA has many hidden gem restaurants. Especially in China Town and Art District areas, many new and great restaurants have sprung up with amazing foods. Rossoblu is one of those restaurants hidden near the Art district and flower districts. My daughter wanted to celebrate Father's Day with us early as she is traveling to New York tomorrow for the week. Since I love Italian food, she chose this restaurant based on Yelp recommendation. Although this was our first time here, we felt like we knew their foods. Most of the food on the menus were familiar to us. We ordered a few dishes to share to have a family style dinner so we all can sample the food. We just loved all the food we ordered. The seafood fritto Misto was excellent. Love the idea of mixing olive, lemons and calamari to create an interesting appetizer rather than just offering a boring fried calamari like all other restaurants. We also liked their tortellini pasta with meat sauce. Rossoblu is known for this dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat sauce was delicious. If you like breads, Rossoblu has the most delicious house bread. The breads were made in open fire rendering the breads tasting fantastic. This is a must order item. Hanger steak is another of our favorite dishes. Besides toasting the breads, the open fire oven is extensively use to grill steaks. Our hanger steak was grilled to medium and it was delectable. Farro cheesecake was our choice of dessert to finish our evening of early Father's Day celebration. The restaurant provides valet parking but we parked our car on the street next to the restaurant.
I'm definitely bookmarking this as a place to impress. After almost driving into a building (thanks Tesla map), we realized the restaurant is actually the building in front. We valet our car for $12, excluding tip, and head inside. I would not recommend parking on the streets. We weren't sure which area is the restaurant but it's the one to the right. Or maybe the whole area belongs to the restaurant. The drink menu looks interesting enough for cocktail lovers. We were a big group and everybody said their cocktails were delicious. I had mocktail, the Orange Mojito, and it was good. I ordered 2. A variety of starters were ordered to share, such as the meatballs, 24-month prosciutto, eggplants, and bread basket. My favorites were the eggplant and breadbasket. I am not an eggplant lover and it was done right. The star of the entree was definitely the rib eye. The pork chop was also really good too. Both were done medium-rare and seasoned nicely. Other dishes such as the pasta were great too. Unfortunately, I forgot the name so please refer to the pictures. The surprisingly good dish that I learned from this place is the Brodo. OMG... I love soup so I'm bias BUT the Parmigianino Reggiano Dumplings are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Can't forget the dessert.. the tiramisu and olive oil cake were also spectacular.
I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile now and was so happy I was able to check it off my list. We arrived for an early dinner so the restaurant was pretty empty. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The entrance is in a tent leading to a beautifully decorated restaurant. We shared the seafood fritto misto, tartare and duck orecchiette. Everything we ordered was perfect. The fritto misto was light, crispy and seasoned perfectly. The orecchiette was so flavorful with a generous amount of ground duck meat, the pasta is ear shaped and was dense without being too heavy. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly and overheard many people talking about how they loved the food and I totally agree. What a wonderful meal!
