    I came to Rossoblu with my husband to celebrate his 36th Birthday and just want to say what a WONDERFUL experience we had! The customer service was efficient, friendly, they had great communication and provided us with truly a memorable experience for the rest of our lives. Upon arrival, I let the hostess/Manager, TONYA know that it was my husband's birthday; she communicated this to our waiter, ERIC and he gave us a complimentary glass of rosé as well as a scoop of their vanilla bean gelato with what tasted like fig! I would give this place infinite stars if I could! Seriously, we were so impressed and the food was out of this world! We ordered the GRILLED PORK MEATBALLS and QUEEN MARGHERITA as a starter and the TORTELLONI, and OLIMPIA’S TAGLIATELLE as our mains! Thank you Rossoblu for the great service and incredible food! The Christmas Tree and cozy atmosphere added to the essence of it all as well! We will definitely be back! Mahalo!

    I went with a friend who had never been to North Italia. Despite their rather recent opening, everything went smoothly. Our meal was delicious, service was terrific and a very minor hiccup was corrected before we even realized it had happened. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great food. Amazingly good, actually. The service left a little bit to be desired, but we were in the outside area away from the main flow of traffic. I definitely recommend this place. I’m not a foodie, and don’t usually mention dishes, but the branzino was excellent, probably as good as I’ve ever had, and the olive cake was, too. Parking is not fantastic and although it ends up that the restaurant is easy to find, the signs don’t help much and GPS isn’t accurate enough so I wandered around a little bit before finding it. But a very good dinner.

    Absolutely fantastic. Took my wife here for her birthday while we were visiting. The service was next level - we never sat unattended, and every course came out in perfect time related to the previous one. My wife commented that she thought we were in an episode of The Bear given how every detail was on point. The food was delicious we started with the polpo for an appetizer, and I had the Il Garganelli… this pork sausage ragú was unreal. Her seafood linguine was amazing as well. We topped off with panna cotta for dessert and they even made it special for her birthday. Will definitely come back here for more the next time I’m in LA!
