Rosso's Italiano — Restaurant in England

This is a fairly quaint, and chilled little restaurant. The menu seemed small enough for the food to be fresh. At first, the waitress didn’t seem to know that she should seat us. Instead, expected us to shop around for a table. But… perhaps she was new to this. Then, the same waitress didn’t quite grasp that I would like a JD and coke AND a separate coke. But no worries, the second waitress managed to figure it out.

When it came to ordering the food, I asked for the octopus pasta and my partner asked for the spaghetti with prawns (sorry, but I don’t know the actual name of the dish… How uncultured of me!). When the food arrived, my partner received a carbonara (which ended up being fairly nice, but we didn’t order it) and my octopus pasta seemed to have tinned octopus rather than freshly cooked. I can’t answer for my partners food as she isn’t as much of a foodie as I am. What was very unfortunate, is that the food all came with an abundance of Parmesan cheese prior to being served to us. I love Parmesan, but I would have preferred to of been given the option like other restaurants would have done.

Although there have been some small issues so far, we weren’t too bothered and happy nonetheless. But… what I couldn’t understand is why one of the waitress’ seem to keep singing ‘doo doo doo doo’ to us when ever she presented food or announcing she was reaching over to collect an empty dish etc. I found it hilarious, as you would. But was unprofessional either way. Had it of been just the one off, it wouldn’t have been an issue. But it was almost every time she approached the table. It was if it was a ‘fan fare’ to announce herself each time or the same thing a child entertainer would do at an under 5’s birthday party whilst attempting some amateur magic tricks. Hilarious, but not whilst serving my food please.

I’m pretty sure the food wasn’t fresh… but apologies if it is.

On the whole, A very bizarre experience. This restaurant could have done with some...

Went for lunch before friends left to go home. Wished we didn't bother. Got looked at like we were intruding at first. Seated and were offered to move chairs so we could see the harbour, this was a nice gesture . Drinks came out, lime and soda was flat and it was £5 care of a extra mint leaf!! This was changed to a £3 fizzy one with no leaf. Ordered the food, squid was definitely not fresh, my son said it was like chewing a rubber band. I ordered clams and they were also chewey and there was no chili as described on the menu, it was a massive bowl of dry spaghetti. The young lad who was setting tables, laid out all the cutlery on the others ones, but dumped ours in a plastic tray onto the table, so we had to help ourselves. He removed food that was still being eaten and removed empty plates while the kids were still eating. This put pressure on one of them to hurry up. The real issue here through, my friend who has a 260 mile drive home is allergic to fish. In her carbonara, she found a small part of a prawn claw/pincer in her meal. The waitress took it away and asked the chef, surprisingly came back saying it wasn't fish and it was a herb. Not sure what pink herbs you can get that are hard. I asked for it back, as she may need to take it to hospital and it had conveniently been thrown out. No apologies for the issues and didn't ask if there were any allergies. The additional service charge was a joke and asked...
