When I stepped into Rossini Düsseldorf, I felt as if I had travelled back in time to an era of luxury and elegance. The restaurant is exquisitely decorated with red velvet furniture and sparkling chandeliers. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, giving a homely feel.
The menu is full of classic Italian dishes and a variety of contemporary delights. I started my meal with Carpaccio di Manzo, thinly sliced raw beef, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. The beef melted in my mouth and the flavor was incredibly intense.
For the main course, I chose Osso Buco alla Milanese, a lamb shank stewed in white wine and tomatoes. This dish was cooked to perfection. The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I had it with Risotto ai Funghi, a mushroom risotto, which was perfectly cooked and had a rich mushroom flavor.
To finish the meal, I ordered the classic Italian dessert, Tiramisu. The tiramisu here was light and fluffy, with a rich coffee flavor and the mascarpone cream melting in my mouth.
Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive and provided useful advice on the menu. They also kept me refilling my water and wine regularly.
Overall, the dining experience at Rossini Düsseldorf was excellent. The food was delicious, the atmosphere elegant and the service impeccable. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or for anyone who loves authentic...
Read moreWe stopped in for a late dinner after attending the Euro match. We were happy to find something open late on a Monday. The decor was quite elegant and comfortable. We were looking for some simple pasta dishes, but the menu was rather limited, with only 5 choices. First the server gave us the card with the lunch specials, but they were not available for dinner. We found the service a bit slow, as it took awhile to get drinks, and to place our orders.
My husband had the risotto with shrimp and zucchini, which was ok. We might have preferred a simple pasta with olive oil and garlic sauce, or tomato basil, or pesto. I had the linguini with cherry tomatoes, arugula, pine nuts and cuttlefish. It lacked seasoning and had no sauce, where I had to add salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil to improve it. The arugula was raw, not really incorporated into the pasta. The bread was good, and we finished it before the pastas were served. The waiter promised to bring more, saying it was in the oven, but he never brought it.
Later, when we were finished eating, another group was asking for pasta without meat or fish, and the waiter gladly offered a simple olive oil sauce. I wish we had known this...
Read moreDas Restaurant Rossini wirkt von außen dezent und trägt diesen Eindruck ebenso in das Interieur. Der Gastraum wirkt dabei unaufdringlich und doch gediegen stilvoll. Nach einem freundlichen Empfang wurden wir am Tisch mit Brot und Olivenöl begrüßt. Das Olivenöl hatte eine sehr geschmeidige Viskosität, während das Brot eher überbacken erschien. Anschließend folgte ein Amuse geule aus Mozzarella di buffala auf Bärlauchterrine. Sehr schmackhaft, wenn auch die Terrine dominant war. Gut eingestimmt folgten Thunfisch (leicht angebraten) auf Mangochutney, Penne al arrabiata sowie ein Rinderfilet an Kürbisgnocci und schließlich ein Schokoküchlein mit Mangosorbet. Ohne jeden Gang zu genau beschreiben zu wollen, lässt sich meiner Meinung sagen, im Rossini gibt es gehobene italienische Küche, die in meinem Falle Highlights setzen kann. Der Thunfisch war nicht nur von guter Qualität, sondern auch sehr angenehm zubereitet. Die Zusammenstellung der Aromen (bspw. Säure und Pfeffer) war mehr als passend. Dies kann insbesonders für das Dessert gelten: Schokoladig und durch das Sorbet doch anregend. Auch das Rinderfilet hatte eine beeindruckende Textur und wurde leider nur von der Portionsgrösse geschmälert. Abschließend sind zwei eher kritische Aspekte zu nennen: einerseits waren die Portionsgrössen angemessen, aber an der einen oder anderen Stelle hätte man sich aufgrund des Geschmacks mehr gewünscht. Lediglich die Preise für Kaffe und Espresso schienen mir zu hoch angesetzt zu sein. Beides kostete jeweils 4 Euro. Dafür gab es jedoch auf einer Etagere Cantuccini und Amerettini. Insgesamt würde ich das Rossini empfehlen, sofern man gute, gediegene italienische Küche sucht und auch mal "nen Euro...
