    Great environment and spectacular service. One of the evening specials was “Branzino” which implied it would be the whole fish. Alas, it was a small filet. The linguini with clams half-portion comes with a single clam. The whole portion pasta dish comes with 3 clams. Not exactly a generous serving.

    I have been coming to Rossini's since 1993. In 30 years they have not changed and still deliver quality food and service. In Murray Hill they are staple to the Community and we hope that they will continue to service the community for the next 30 years.

    A dinner for 6 of us before the Billy Joel concert. Staff was fantastic. Old school Italian restaurant where the waiters all wore bow ties! Food was fantastic as well…We never wanted for anything. Never felt rushed either. Just a great meal and atmosphere. I can see why they have been in business so long - they know what they are doing! Will be back again for sure!

    We visited for lunch to try their pizza Margherita. At the time they said they didn't have any more pizza, but at our request they prepared it specially for us. In the end we regretted our order. It was the most unappetising pizza margherita I have ever had.

    I would have given this restaurant more stars, but they tried to rip us off! We went for their restaurant week lunch @ $30. The food and service were very good, but they charge us $39 each for a $30 lunch, hoping we wouldn't notice! We may be old, but we're not stupid! When we told them, they corrected it but never apologized or explained the mistake. Stay away!!!

    Rossini's was a great NYC fine dining experience for my wife's birthday and the prices were quite reasonable. The food was delicious and the wait staff very attentive. Nice live piano music played quietly in the background while we dined. We wish we had a place like this where we live!

    Our favorite Italian restaurant in NYC. Raymond and Marianne made us feel so welcomed. A perfect evening for us. Whenever we are in Manhattan, dinner at Rossini's is the #1 item on our to-do list. Great cocktails, delicious food, perfect service, and wonderful ambiance. Enjoyed chatting with a couple of locals in the bar before dinner.

    This is a wonderful old-school Italian restaurant with fine food and excellent service. The chicken barley soup and pollo fiorentina offered as part of restaurant week prix fixe dinner menu were outstanding! Plus if you are nostalgic for the way New York (and life in general) used to be, it’s the place to go if you are in NYC.
