    Great service, great food. A little noisy due to a birthday celebration, but we’ll within fun limits. Always a winner.

    The restaurant was literally empty but still we were given a 2 chairs table in a corner where we had to manage the real estate of plates on the table! Window based seat remained empty throughout while we dined and she did r give that table to us despite our reservation! Will never come here again!!!

    Overall good experience. My friends enjoyed their meals. I made a mistake ordering pizza. The toppings were fine but the crust was so hard. It was thick and very hard. My mistake for ordering pizza in a place that had many other good options and probably is not known for pizza.

    Outstanding evening with my daughter! She picked it and I had no clue what to expect. Was greeted by the General Manager who was working her tail off! She was doing everything to help her Team. We sat at the bar at first as we was early and had great drinks and conversations. We then was seated into our high top table with a great view of the CAVS game. Great view of the outside area as well. Food was AWESOME!! Fries & the Pizza the BEST EVER!! Will be going back soon. Great job to the entire Team & the cooks! Thank You Chris

    One of our favorite spots in the Short North. The food is excellent and the service is even better! Tried some different cocktails that we hadn't tried before. Both were delicious! They have a great staff that always wants to ensure you have a great experience! We will be back!

    Great ambience and love the vibe. Food is great. The menu has changed from the past and we miss the Brussels sprouts and the Mussels. Salmon was great, as always. Calamari was a bit dry and over-breaded. Risotto ball was amazing.

    Food was very good. Service was okay (second round of drinks took a long time and my husband ordered bourbon with one cube of ice so when he noticed it was just sitting and the ice melting, he walked over to the bar and picked it up himself). I reserved a standard table and we were seated at a high top right inside the door, and I had also indicated in my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. We toasted this as soon as the drinks were delivered, so I know our server heard it, but there was no acknowledgement of it (another reason why I say the service was just okay). If there is nothing done for special celebrations (ex: a dessert for the individual having a birthday, etc.), then I'm not sure why it is requested when the reservation is made.

    I was really happy to see that the Rossi had re-opened. I have always liked their happy hour specials. I was disappointed with their new menu in that the pizza is no longer on the happy hour menu. The music was a little loud, but they did turn it down at our request. Other than that a very good experience- good service, good happy hour alcohol prices.

    hey as of December 28th (at least) this place is closed…we were still able to make a reservation and google had normal hours so we didn’t know until we showed up at the door. Super bummed because we really wanted to eat here. Someone on staff should update this so other people aren’t annoyed and confused too!

    I had a reservation set for 5 pm on 12/2. Upon ARRIVAL we were told there were literally THREE items available for dinner! Three.!!!! Brussel sprouts, and two types of pizza. We drove over 45 minutes to come to Columbus for a NICE dinner out. WHY WOULD YOU NOT CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT WE WERE WALKING INTO? Why? At the very least people with reservations should have received a phone call. I even confirmed my reservation! This was unacceptable and horrible customer service. We were not just some drop by customer who lives in Columbus! I doubt we will ever try the restaurant again as it appears you don’t have enough courtesy to let ppl know they can have brussel sprouts only for dinner or to reply to an email regarding our disappointment and lack of concern.

    The vibe is cool but the food is really bland. We got the carbonara, mushroom pizza and salad and felt all were just lacking in flavor. Would maybe come back to sit at the bar and get drinks but definitely not to eat.

    I absolutely love this place! There is a nice bar area with booth space for dining with more dining space in the back. Great Happy Hour specials including wines by the glass, mini martinis and a nice selection of apps. The menu has a wide selection of apps, salads and entrees and portions are generous. My daughter had the pasta Rossi and I had the salmon. Both were delicious. Service was professional and friendly.

    We truly enjoyed the service and our food was excellent, the waitress and other servers were informative, polite , and attentive. The only downside would be the noise level is loud, we sat next to a group of about 10 people and they constantly talked over each other . Definitely will return.

    It was a very crowded night with an energetic atmosphere, but the wait staff was very prompt regardless. It’s a bar in the city so it’s very close quarters and full of boisterous conversations. Most of the entrees are pasta-oriented and the menu is concise to help aid the speed of service. The food is very fresh and wholesome, maybe more on the side of comfort food but still full of fresh flavors. The portions are significant as well so a box may be necessary. Overall, a great experience in the Short North for anyone looking for a fun night on the town!

    Brussel Sprouts appetizer was very good - a touch of balsamic would increase the flavor profile. Meatball appetizer was terrific. Loved the Sausage Pizza Chicken Parm - was ok, would not get again. Chicken is deep fried (too dry) vs flattened & pan fried. Server was great, manager checked on us as well. Fun atmosphere. Would go again & try different things.
