Vintage Northern Italian eatery with tuxedoed waiters, live piano nightly & opera on Saturday night.
Dinner was delicious and servi e was wonderful
Rossini’s is great. There is nothing not to like. Food is fantastic! Never had a bad meal. Atmosphere is civilized, relaxed and refined. Service is incredibly polite, efficient and personable. It’s a wonderful NY old world gem not to be missed. Have brought others here and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Couldn’t more highly recommend.
Surprisingly good. Was a bit worried after reading reviews and "old school Italian vibe" (being a bit old school myself). Food was good, especially numerous specials. Staff was friendly and attentive. Prices were typical upscale NYC. Will be returning soon
Excellent northern Italian restaurant located in Murray Hill. Large selection of pasta items and they are very good about making something if its not listed on the menu. The veal chop and linguini in garlic and oil with sausage was great. Nice selection of dessert...the canoli was fresh and crispy.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I came to this place with my boyfriend on a dinner date and I had fun. The music was so beautiful, the ambiance was very elegant, the food was good and the service was good. I loved the opera it was so peaceful and elegant. I had calamari and seafood lenguini and it was so delicious and the cannoli and ice cream was amazing. Thank you Max for taking care of us. Highly recommend this place ♥️♥️♥️
Lovely staff, food superb, music peaceful and personalized!Thank you all. Dr. K.See you all soon.
Really great restaurant!The food it’s Italian, You field like You were in Italy!Service excellent and fast, space very good, right on the center of Manhattan!We went there two dinners and it’s a must go restaurant in NYC.
Best Italian food in Fort Lauderdale FL.
Atmospheric Italian “chic” restaurant that seems to have been around for a few decades… A lot of space, very professional and friendly service, reasonably mastered dishes - gastronomic side, so no pizzas… And a wonderful wooden bar where you long to sit for a couple of hours pre or post-dinner. One of the recommendable food locations I visited in Manhattan.
Excellent Service..Great Atmosphere like waking into a God Farther scenes andGreat Food of Perfection ! Never regretted choose this restaurant.
Old fashioned Italian...good food .and the 2 opera singers were exceptional... felt one is in Milan watching an Opera !!!
Eggplant starter delicious. Pesto pasta delicious. Service and atmosphere wonderful. A great find, just walking by. We would go back.
Excellent food n service. Music terrific
What a wonderful Restaurant in the heart of Manhattan. Took my baby here for her birthday. The restaurant is classy and has a great menu. Service and staff are wonderful.
Charismatic atmosphere and delight in every bite of food! It was wonderful, and I will be back!
Great service from Max, delicious Italian food and perfect drinks. A wonderful evening dining on Italian favorites, just like mama made!
Huge disappointment.Specials are not printed, and price is not said. A rather small salad with greens, 5 shrimps and 2 scallops cost... $38 (thirty eight!), bee tax and tip. Unbelievable. $25 for this salad would be high end already. $38? This is crazy.Service was faulty too, waiter disappeared. We had to call someone to ask about dessert, and were told different options than the other table. We ordered tartufo. After 10 minutes, we are told they are sold out. Had to ask for the (absurdly expensivecheck twice.Live in the area and could be a regular, but I cant even recommend this place to others.Only the dining area decor is nice.Huge disappointment.
Impeccable service, delicious well portioned food. Order at least 3 courses, its worth it.
Super cool restaurant. The type of restaurant you only see in movies. A true italian piece of culinary real estate. Food was amazing, the staff was elegant and very helpful.Check out the wall of celebrities pictures that have enjoyed Rossinis dinning experience.
Decent Italian food. Seating arrangement is a bit awkward for tables for two because they put you on the same side, but otherwise the service is polite.
Traditional Italian restaurant with first class service. Dont be fooled as you look on as the restaurants at the rear. I had the bologna gnocchi which was perfect. All round good experience.
This was the most delicious Italian food I’ve ever had! The service was impeccable too, for an overall memorable experience.
Staff nice food good but not excellent for the price. Its expensive. I have had better food cheaper but location worked for me.
We had a fantastic meal. The caesar salad was great. Wait staff were very attentive and professional. Would eat there again for sure!
Best Italian meal ever. From the service to the excellent food, this is a New York institution not to be missed. The best Fettuccine Alfredo Ive ever had and my partners Seafood Pasta had so much seafood that we couldnt see the mound of pasta underneath.
I stopped in to Rossini‘s late afternoon after walking around the city for hours for some comfort food prior to leaving for the airport. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was to die for. The sauce was very tasty and not too thick yet definitely fulfilled my comfort food need. They had just decorated it and it’s beautiful at Christmas time! The biggest thing that stands out to me the staff is very friendly. I will definitely return!
Great service.Great food.I would go back.
The food is amazing!Especially the pasta Alfredo, you do have to order everything individually but worth it. Tried the pasta with Gamberi allá Rossini and it was amazing jumbo shrimp and my boyfriend had the gamberi fra diavolo
We are from Minneapolis and visited NYC for the first time over the weekend. I chose this place for a late birthday dinner and they did NOT disappoint. The service went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the food was amazing. We will be back next time we visit & thank you for making our stay in the city a little bit better :)
Great bar and dining room. Surprisingly large and very cool looking place .This is the bad wedding food posing as “Italian” that Mario Batali (credit where it’s duesaved us from 25 years ago. All the entrees come with the same sides: a scoop each of mashed potatoes and frozen vegetable medley. All of our dishes, though different, were finished with the same sauce. We had trouble picking wines and so the waiter tried to explain to us that Barbera and Barolo are the same thing. We’re all certified wine professionals. It was an awkward conversation. The same waiter also very skillfully banged us out for a few little extras here and there and our bill came to over $700 for the three of us.The place has its fans but it’s a one-and-done experience for me.
I was in a party of 4 persons on a regular evening without live music. We had 4 different main dishes (spaghetti carbonara, spaghetti in pesto, Chicken and vealand the ministrone soup. The soup was really nice but none of the other dishes was exceptionally good or large, so it seemed overpriced and not worth it. The variety does seem good and maybe other dishes would have been tastier.The venue itself seems very classy and cozy. The service was decent although we had to mentioned a few times we would like regular water without ice.When handing the check the waiter mentioned that the service (18%was already included, which is a bit annoying and wasnt mentioned in the menu beforehand.
Absolutely the BEST Italian food that you can get. From the atmosphere to the service, the experience was extraordinary. The staff is very friendly and well trained. I highly recommend this place.I came here with a party of 9, including 1 teenager, and we were all able to find something that sounded delicious to us. We even asked the chef if they could make a Chicken Parmigiana dish (which wasn’t on the menuand it came out perfect.
I have no idea how this place has good reviews. First, I ordered a gin and tonic and was given a vodka tonic, Next, the salad is small and the lettuce was old. Finally, I have never had bad scallops in NYC until this place. You can smell the fishy-ness across the table. These had to be a few days old. For what they charge, everything should be fresh. I almost want to call the health department. The only thing good here was the coffee and dessert.
Couldnt be a better night out w/ friends. Food was incredible, service gracious, bill reasonable, and parking right in front of restaurant (after 7). Go w/ the specials they offer. Always have and never not have enjoyed more tasty Northern Italian dishes!
Its a real nice place for a cozy dinner. Food is delicious. Staff is very attentive. The service here is simply impeccable and as good or better than some Michelin Star restaurants.
Unexpectedly good Italian American restaurant. The swordfish was excellent, great service and the opera singers are a pleasant addition. Not cheap but worth the money.
I went there during festive season which means clouded people there. But our order came pretty fast. The atmosphere is very nice making me feel like in ‘God Father’ movie. Service is very professional but yet friendly. For the food, we order 3 starters and 3 main dishes. I ordered mussel and seafood risotto. The seafood is so fresh and it tastes excellent.
Was craving Italian food mostly pasta, and came across this place just wandering around. It didnt look busy from the outside but as you walk deeper into the restaurant the tables were all filled from the back. The manager greeted us as soon as we walked in. The wait staff was attentive. My pasta craving satisfied. I had a gnocchi and our table shared the artichoke appetizer and a bottle of wine. It was a Monday night, we didnt have a reservation and there was no wait.
This is my favorite Italian Restaurant. On my last visit, I was with 2 sisters, a cousin and a friend on their first Christmas visit to NYC. The waiter was charming and went out of his way to make our meal memorable. He never told us “no.” We split entrees and shared desserts. Just thinking about the taste of the food makes me smile.
My husband made reservations for this place last week as we ventured as first timers to NY. Based on these google photos he was thinking it was kind of a kitschy place with authentic Italian food. It was SUPER fancy! And we were totally under-dressed... but the waiters and staff were forgiving of that and so nice and helpful. First off, the building is beautiful, I wanted to tour the whole place. As far as dining, I have never experienced a more well-executed clockwork of service from any restaurant staff: EVERYTHING came at just the right time and never intrusive. They were amazing and so fun to watch. The food was delicious and very fresh, none of the flavors were overwhelming like some Italian cuisine can be, it had a pleasant homemade appeal. I would definitely recommend taking your spouse there for some romance rekindling 😉 (but dress up or you’ll feel stupid)
Delicious Northern Italian food!! Great host Nancy Martino for planning our reunion party. Will be back.
We were here for dinner. The foods and service are good. There was live piano on the Friday that we went. The place is quite spacious and it is not too loud, you can really have a conversation here. The area in the front is more like a bar area and inside is a dining area. I dont like the complimentary bread that they serve but everything else is good. The price is a little high though.
Everything was good, but food was bit salty.😅
I made a reservation to celebrate my Girlfriends birthday. A little nervous at 1st. Hoping it was a good choice. By far the best dinner experience ive ever had!! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! Thanks for making us feel special
This place was fantastic - a real hidden gem! Delicious food (I had the veal with lemon sauce and a tasty glass of the house Cabernet), attentive and courteous wait staff, and a comfortable and warm ambiance was a pleasant find for this restaurant that I found on the Open Table mobile app.
This is a must when in New York. We enjoyed the intimate feeling of the lighting, to the opera singers, to the impeccable service of the staff. I had mussels for the first time, and the white wine broth is to die for. We both had a pasta dish and were pleased.
What a great place with great staff! Enjoyed the food so much!!
I have been to Rossinis Northern Italian restaurant several times, and havent been let down yet. The regular menu is large enough that I havent been able to sample all of the standard offerings, in part because the daily specials lure me away. The meals are consistently prepared well, and the service is well coordinated, with waiters teaming up for the busy parts of the meal. There are a few steps down from the street to the bar level, but I didnt inquire about a ramp. Once inside, the dining area has an upper level, even with the floor of the bar, and a sunken level about a dozen steps down. Combined with the furnishings and the piano player, the decor is visually and audibly interesting, in case the conversation lags. And while not cheap, considering the quality of the food and service, the prices are moderate for the neighborhood.
We got the chance to eat here this weekend during our familys NYC trip, and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating even with our four children, who, although normally picky eaters, said it was the best pasta they had ever eaten. The atmosphere was great, very upscale and they even had opera singers to entertain. I would highly recommend it. Thank you again!
The food, ambiance, and decor are all quite clearly derivative of the classic Italian-American style here at Rossinis and I loved every minute of it. One of my dining partners remarked that the layout of the restaurant was very classy in an old-school-cool way, and another said they felt they were transported to the restaurant from the movie Goodfellas.All hyperbole aside, we had a great time here. It is very formal, so do not underdress. We all ordered a variety of dishes including seafood, steak, and pasta, and the consensus was that they were all delicious. Comfort food is how it can be best described...everything is very savory.Drink selection is great too, however if you are used to dining at places that have set drink menus like myself, youll also be surprised at the lack of one here. However, although there are no true house cocktails, the bartender could mix every drink we asked for (negroni and french martini to name a couple).I recommend Rossinis for those looking for a very formal and upscale Italian meal...Best enjoyed with a large group like family or friends since the tables are huge!
