Ordered sirloin steak. Expected much better quality meat for the price being charged. Music way too loud cant hear the person next to you. Underwhelming.

The starter “ beef carpaccio” was not good, I don’t know why the cuts were so chunky? Rather than thin sliced raw beef I got served raw steaks pretty much with a very bad dressing- it was very difficult to eat but I tried! The main was disastrous it had absolutely no flavour , the pasta was undercooked. It was not al dente it was under and it tasted nothing like truffle as it was said in the description it was just a mess and I don’t know how Rosso can charge what they charge when it was probably one of the worst mess I’ve ever had. I don’t write reviews but it was my birthday and 6 of us were served meals that did not taste right. That’s not a coincidence! The birthday eclair and the cocktails were amazing and the staff did help with the bad meal I was served- the music was great so the atmosphere was perfect for a birthday, the place was beautiful but the food was horrible - go for drinks but not for food

So pleased to see the lunch deal back again even if the wine is full price now. Had a real taste sensation with pumpkin risotto with pickled walnuts and blueberries. Quite an amazing taste. My main was cacao pasta parcels with duck filling raisins and chestnuts. Again an adventurous dish and so tasty. Followed with delicious Italian cheeses and biscuits. 2 courses £20. Lovely place for ladies who lunch!!!

Pleasant enough visit but in terms of value was slightly disappointed with the food vs the price. More than fine paying £38 for steak but it didn’t have that “wow that’s great” feel vs other restaurants.

Security didn’t want to let my brother in who was smartly dressed but they said no shorts. Had to argue. First time coming here not a great impression. Waiter seemed annoyed and didn’t smile once or seem happy to help. Made it feel tense any time he came over. Went to the bathroom after asking for bill and took pics but they harassed my mum at the table for also joining us because they seemed to think we weren’t going to pay?! Can’t tell if it was racism or they’re just like that to everyone. Anyway would not recommend. Awful.

Being turned away because of my feet were hurting saying we was drunk . Was not how I thought my night would end . The door men were rude and unprofessional. I think it’s more of case if you don’t look right your not welcome. Disgusting outcome
