| - It hurts me to give this Rossi establishment a 3/5 but I have to!
The decor, casual and comfortable is definitely accented by gruesome meat drawings on the walls and the meat fridge on display that give it the accent it needs to have a personality. The chairs are super comfy and it's something all of us noticed immediately!
We were fortunate enough to be seated right near the kitchen, where I witnessed Rossi at work and eating quite often, so that was kind of amusing. His shy demeneaour won't get you the Chef that comes to your table to entertain you experience if that's what you're looking for.
I had to look this up because initially I was under the impression the server was his partner, but turns out that the person serving us was just some arrogant server who was just walking around the joint with owner's snobby aura.
Most of us were having cocktails at the table and I personally ordered and kept ordering the Sancho Sour - it was refreshing and delicious and the consistent feedback at the table was that the drinks were great.
Our table was clearly a mixed bag of foodies, we ordered from the bar menu and had fried cheese (very bland) and some prosciutto or bacon wrapped fig (the best thing I had the entire night), we also ordered the charcuterie board, which I thought was bland for home cured meats and surely when there are six people you can afford to at least bring six pieces of bread.
Bland is actually my consistent feedback on the food. I shared the steak tartar (lacking acid and flavour), grilled octopus (that was good) and some pork thing (not tasty either) while my friends seemed to gravitate to the Burger, which looked juicy with fries (those were the softer kind but good) and the rapini, therefore green, orecchietti, which didn't get any feedback at all.
We closed the meal with mini donuts and a chocolate pot. The chocolate dessert was excellent and other than the fig wrapped in prosciutto or bacon it was my fave.
My general feedback would be that the menu was lack luster and confusing. It would help to have the menu explained at the beginning of the meal and unlike what the douchebag waiter suggested, these meals are not family style, the Wellington options on the menu are likely family style but what we ordered was not.
Finally, we tipped generously and found the waiter to still be in a bad mood, kinda disappointing. I really hope they turn this menu around and infuse rhyme and reason for the content.
Rossi - I'm still routing for you but I'll wait til you pair with another chef and open something better before I come to your resto again.
