Rossini Ristorante Italiano — Restaurant in Pasay

My family and I decided to eat here for dinner and we really regret it.

Upon approaching the restaurant, the front of the house's attitude was already unwelcoming, we said we'd like to see their menu before deciding to dine in their restaurant.

The whole experience was uncomfortable from taking our orders and the serving of food.

Upon taking our order, it seemed like the waiter wasn't well aware of their menu but of course we still proceeded to order. Then whenever they serve the food, they would pass on the dishes from waiter to waiter before even serving it to our table. Like literally the waiter would come out with the food and pass by our table to pass it to another waiter before they serve it to our table.

The food was okay, I couldn't enjoy our food after the service and the ambiance of the place. I couldn't complain about the price since of course we're not well aware of their overhead costs but it was a bit pricey for something to be served cold.

There was also a time were I had to step out of the restaurant but upon returning, the same unwelcoming front of the house stopped me from entering the restaurant and had to ask if i was already dining inside. I dont know...

To sum it all up, our dining experience with Rossini was very uncomfortable...

A very pleasant surprise!

I don't usually dine at Italian restaurants but decided to give it a try since a friend wanted to eat here.

The complimentary bread was underwhelming. The bread was very dry and tasted stale. I was afraid this would set the tone for how the food would be.

Fortunately the terrible bad was an isolated incident. The rest of the meal was very good.

We ordered a pizza, chicken milanese, and beef short ribs paperdalle.

The pizza was thin but didn't have a crunchy crispy bottom. It was bread like. The flavor was good but some burnt parts on the bottom had a bitter taste.

The chicken milanese was very good. The coating was crunchy. I did wish they used white meat instead of dark meat but very good nonetheless and not oily.

The best dish had to be the homemade pasta with beef shirt rib. The pasta had a nice chewiness and was al dente. The sauce was rich with savory beefiness and the short rib meat was tender. I wanted to lick the bowl clean it was that good.

Service was also exceptional.

Our dining experience was very enjoyable.

Lunch here was nothing short of a culinary adventure. We were treated to their reimagined Italian menu that beautifully blends classic flavors with contemporary flair. The ‘Meatballs in Pomodoro Sauce’ were rich and savory, setting the tone for the meal. The ‘Mixed Cheese and Salami Sampler’ offered a delightful array of textures and flavors, while the ‘Gnocchi Sampler’ was pure comfort on a plate.

The ‘Prosciutto Pesto Flatbread Sandwich’ and ‘Rossini Pizza’ were perfect examples of how Rossini elevates the familiar into something extraordinary. The ‘Steak with Salsa Rosso’ was cooked to perfection, offering a juicy and flavorful bite that was both satisfying and indulgent. But it was the ‘Seafood Aligue Pasta’ that stole the show — an unexpected yet delicious fusion of Italian and Filipino flavors. And let's not forget the ‘Mango Cannoli’, a refreshing twist on a traditional dessert that ended our meal on a sweet note.

The place was impeccably clean and the staff were amazing during our visit.
