Rossini's RestaurantGreat Business DinnerTopped off a business meeting with a dinner at Rossini's based off a co-worker's recommendations. Food was fantastic, service was amazing. For a table of 8 - we were able to still have conversations with the whole table, without feeling like we had to whisper or shout. The Piano player brought a nice touch to relax everyone after a very long day. Definitely going back next time in town.6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFood, wine, service!!Appetizer for the day was an excellent salad w avocado shrimp and scallop. Then, just had to ask for appetizer of ravioli which again was great and thankfully we asked for it as it wasn't on the menu. Bronzino was great. Piano music was a hit. Not too noisy and good enough for conversation!! Nice service team.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMClassicSunday night dinner with my family was outstanding. Staff treated my 11 and 8 year olds like royalty.
This is a classic with old school decor and terrific food.
Start with the calamari appetizer and order the lasagna. You will be in food heaven!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always there are no surprisesAs always there are no surprises at Rossini's.

Attentive staff.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMClassic Italian restaurantClassic Italian restaurant of yesteryear New York . . . Sadly, a disappearing breed.
Nice, dark wood ambiance . .. many businessmen dining; good place for business dinner discussions.
Reminds me of Il Monello (Second & East 76th) and Il Nido (East 53rd and Third)5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMOld World Northern ItalianRossinni's in Murray Hill is a quiet, step back in time kind of restaurant, that not only impresses tourists, but NYC locals as well. There is a comfortable bar as you enter into Rossini's, which is a great place to wait for your guests, begin your evening or end the evening with an after dinner cocktail.
The dining room is comfortable, intimate and not overly decorated. All of the dining tables all have nice place settings. The lighting is soft, yet bright enough to read the menu. The live piano player in the background added to the ambiance of the dining experience.
There were a variety of specials as well as a large variety of choices on the main menu. The food all came out at the same time, and was beautifully presented.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food. AttentiveExcellent food. Attentive wait staff. Live music appealing to older folks - on Saturday anyway. The singing was OK but a bit loud and distracting.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent service and food.Excellent service and food. But the music made it even better.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMi was surprised that i hadi was surprised that i had never even noticed this restaurant--altho it's in my neighborhood. very nice old-line italian restaurant, with pretty good food, and excellent service. seemed very much a guys-who-do-business kind of place, with a sort of steakhouse atmosphere--which was just fine with us (two businesswomen). a nice discovery, close by....4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a great evening!Outstanding , I took my husband here for his Birthday. We got stuck in horrible traffic and we ended up being an hour late. They saved the table for us. Dinner, service all terrific . They even had arranged for the singers to sing happy birthday to him. They made it a memorable fun evening. I can't thank them enough!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMgood food and interesting staffwe had reservations before the theatre. We arrived early so we wouldn't be rushed or stressed getting to the play on time. No one was there but that was not a big deal. It was unusual that given we were the only ones there, we had to ask for menu's. We did not really know who was our server. The food was very, very good. The service, once it got going, was good as well.
After dinner, we asked if they could get us a taxi, they said they didn't have the number!! Luckily we were able to get one within 10 minutes. Having to do this was OK but to tell us they don't have a number is crazy.
I would go back; it was a throw back of old Italy and years past. The staff was very interesting too.Not sure if authentic or part of the ambian4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways enjoy the old fashionedAlways enjoy the old fashioned service at Rossini and opera night as fun Saturday night in Manhattan. The food is always fresh and well-prepared and the service couldn't be more friendly.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMBeware the desert menu - yumWe were welcomed and quickly shown to our table, the staff worked as a team and made sure we promptly had something to drink and a menu to read. Our order was taken without making us feel rushed or hanging around. The food service was good - fast enough to satisfy but not so fast that you wondered if the food had been sitting around.
Beware of asking for the desert menu if you are on a diet. When we asked, a plate was set in front of us with each desert laid out there for us to see it. Only one of us was for having a desert but when this platter arrived and sat on the table all four of us had something!
Excellent all round, good choice, good service, good food, good atmosphere. Enjoy!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe are never disappointedWe are never disappointed with our visit to Rossini's.
