The welcoming was excellent by the manager and the flexibility to change from outdoor to indoor seating. The food was great. The steak was perfectly cooked and the octopus was tender and savory. The green beans were the exception to the excellence. They were too spicy and it tasted oddly. Manager made it right for us. Thank you!

Don't let the neighborhood scare you off. This is truly a diamond in the rough!!! The service was good, our waiter was good, not great, he messed up on my customer's entree, but the food far made up for any minor missteps. The portions are generous and we all shared some of our entrees. I had some self proclaimed Foodies with me as work guests and they agreed the experience was fantastic. I got multiple thank you emails the next day, applauding me for me choice. Well done, Team Rossoblu!

It feels like it can be great, but it wasn't for us. We probably just got unlucky with timing. Our waiter kept rushing and slamming dishes and water loudly on our table. I suppose he was busy with another big table, but it just felt stressful. Little disturbances aside, food was fantastic. Octopus salad was on point. Dry-aged branzino was cooked perfectly and accompanied by delicious sides. Good coffee, but possibly the worst Tiramisu I've had (the only dish I wasn't satisfied with). The food presentation was great. Beautiful interior and overall pleasant atmosphere.I'd love to come back and try more of the menu items.

I've been dining at Rossoblù for years and the quality of the food, authenticity of their Italian cuisine, attentive service have always been consistently excellent every single time I dine there. Great job, Rossoblù team! Top notch. This time, I had several dietary restrictions (I normally don't) and I still had an amazing meal while not feeling like I was missing out on anything. They went above and beyond for me and made me a fresh fruit plate for dessert (not on the menu) that was stellar. Thank you guys! I will continue to support this amazing restaurant and I keep recommending it to family and friends looking for an amazing Italian restaurant in LA.

Surprised that we got there at opening and told us that the diavolina pizza was sold out, I had to ask them to double check as how it could have sold out within 10 minutes of opening when it was a weekday and not a full restaurant, thankfully double checking worked out as we were able to snag a diavolina.

Had a good time at Rossoblu and service was attentive. It was on the lively side so consider that for the occasion you're looking for. It has a farmhouse chic feel to it. The portions are on the smaller side meant for sharing - so think Italian tapas.

We were semi-outdoors on the porch; with the heater was perfectly warm – – and perfect for nice ambience, and less background noise to make conversation easy. Both the food and the service were excellent – – nice evening.

It's a no for me. Beautiful restaurant and great cocktails but that's where it ends. We had meatballs-Very bland sauce and balls. Salami and honey pizza- quality ingredients but nothing special or particularly memorable. Tortellini in crema- what's the level before al dente? Pasta was hard and chewy and the sauce was just rich but lacked flavor which I didn't know was a thing. Chopped salad- it was really salty but I was willing to suffer through because it came chopped already and I loved the ingredients. But then I found myself biting on several sharp shards of a steel pad or something. Like one of the cleaning ones ya know..it was about 5 pieces so yea...no. They gave us an order of their fries on the house which were so great! They have a little balsamic on top which was an unexpected touch. But when I got home, I was eagerly dipping the fries in the sauce they provided and found a hair in my sauce. It was so long too. I know because I was hoping it was just more shards of steel sponge but alas...I was wrong and just quit. Great service but if you want a great meal, stop here for those cocktails and have dinner elsewhere.

Update: food used to be good, however this time I went it was horrible (maybe head chef was on break?) Pasta was very chewy, risotto was very odd tasting and pizza was too salty and oily. Waiter was very nice tho.

We're out of towners and picked this place based on reviews. It was a bit hard to find, but we'll worth it. Everything was delicious and our waiter was friendly, knowledge and solicitous without being overbearing or hovering. Really nice evening out!

My longtime girlfriend and I celebrated her birthday with dinner at Rossoblu last night and we were not disappointed! The dining room was stunning, with beautiful decor and a lively, upscale atmosphere. Our waiter was charming, professional and attentive. We both had a little crush! He gave wonderful suggestions for our order, we took his advice and enjoyed every bite. The portions were huge, and we shared both of our delectable dishes. We were given complementary sparkling wine for the birthday girl, and a special dessert to finish off our meal.  We would definitely enjoy the Rossoblu experience again. Highly recommend!

Collin, our server, was very nice and considerate. We had a 20-minute wait for our first round of drinks, but the first round of food made up for it. The homemade bread and the cheese in a neutral broth were creative and fun. The pasta that we had was rich and delicious. Unfortunately, the pork chop we ordered was clouded by the rich cheese and over salting. My partner and I had two bites, and a brick immediately sat in our stomachs. We also ordered brussels sprouts to balance out our meal, and they came out untrimmed with the hard stock on the end with a cold interior. The atmosphere was great, and the drinks were delicious, but the food was mediocre at best. The place felt like it was on cruise control, and the pork chop and brussel sprouts left us was an okay experience.

My husband surprised me with a reservation at rossoblu for our valentines and 4 month wedding anniversary. If you want exceptional service and delicious food look no further! We found street parking and were seated immediately. We started our meal with seafood fritto misto (a generous portion of calamari, shrimp, whitebait paired with chili sauce and salsa rosa aioli), and crudo. We paired it with a Paloma and my personal favorite drink the oro (a sweet and rich blend of bourbon, honey, lemon and Averna). The oro is a classic drink in their menu and I still think about it. It is a MUST when you come to rossoblu. Okay onto the main course! Our server Stella was STELLAR. She had the best recommendation to order pizza and pasta and it did not disappoint. She suggested we order the Salami Honey: spicy salami, provolone, grana padano, buckwheat honey. It was the perfect combo of sweet, spicy and savory. She also suggested to order olimpias tagliatelle: beef and pork ragu, parmigiano raggiano. Olimpias tagliatelle is the most popular dish on the menu and for good reason. Our whole experience was wonderful! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the music was bumpin oldies it was such a good time! Please come here for your next date night, celebratory dinner, any occasion! You will not be disappointed!
