rosso

i visitedrossolast friday with 4 other family members and we had a fantastic night. all staff from door, to bar and table service were very friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. the food was devine and the portions were of generous size. the decor is plush, crisp and fresh with a great atmosphere. now my firm favourite manchester restaurant. i would definitely recommend and i will certainly be going again!

we came here for my partners birthday we got told we had to book way in advance to get in but i rung up on the same night (sat) and managed to get a table. we had heard brilliant things aboutrossoso was very excited to visit once we arrived we got shown to our table straight away so we ordered 2 cocktails with our non english speaking waiter! they took forever to come as he was so busy and when he finally arrived with them he got the order wrong! we had them anyway as there was no way we were waiting any longer for more drinks! we ordered 2 main meals but felt very uncomfortable eating as there were so many people all crammed in one place you couldn't stretch your arm out without touching the people sat next to you, not the sort of intimate setting we were after. it's such a shame as the food was good. we would like to give it another go but i wouldn't recommend going on a weekend if you want a nice romantic dinner as you can hardly hear each other speak for the noise of everyone else talking. the best part of the night was meeting tom cleverly the united player, if you like to do a bit of star spotting your in the right place!

to conclude,rossois i think the epitome of a place where the quality of food seems to be less important than the other elements; the service and atmosphere are excellent. sadly this just isn't enough for me. the food has to be better than this to make me want to return. in short:rossois all style with little substance.
