About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
The restaurant has been totally transformed, sporting a dramatic two story high central dining area surrounded overhead on two sides buy a dining mezzanine overlooking the main dining area and on a third by a private dining room softened behind shaded glass. A dramatic bar of stainless steel set against a backdrop of exposed stone runs the length of the room and leads the eye to the real focus of the place: the imposing steel surround of the woodburning beehive oven. Rustic wood ceilings and exposed stone walls set against high energy glass and steel combine the old and new at Bar Rosso, setting the tone, reflecting the soul of the restaurant. Featuring glorious Italian cheeses and charcuterie, small plate specialties, mix and match bites off a large antipasto menu, wood oven thin crust pizza, homemade pasta and Italian inspired entrees, Bar Rosso is intended as a tour of the Italian culinary scene complemented by a full Italian wine list and cocktails inspired by the authenticity.

    We came in for brunch and were one of two tables in the otherwise empty restaurant. Had a reservation and were sat directly next to a beam of the building which I kept banging into the entire meal. The three of us each had a cocktail which took about 10-15 minutes to come to the table. The bar wasn’t set up as we saw some staff come to and from the kitchen grabbing garnishes. The food was all mid to poor. Most things we under seasoned. The fries tasted like old oil. The toasts were barely toasted and the caprese omelette was a nightmare. I’m pretty sure the cook used sugar instead of salt and it tasted like maple syrup. The server and staff were overall friendly but seemed like everyone was in 1st gear. Maybe just an overall of day for the team but I have zero desire to return.

    Foods good, very loud crowd, if you like tech music this is you’re spot. Service was okay, our server got distracted a couple of times maybe because of how much people. But fair enough. Drinks amazing the security guard might not be very polite but overall fair experience.

    We had an early dinner before a movie at The Avon theater. There were only 4 other people in the restaurant so it wasn't busy but the service was soooo slow! Pizza was under cooked. It took 45 minutes to get our food. Wines were overpriced. So unfortunate as the location is perfect for a pre movie dinner. I hope you improve the preparation of you food and your service.
    Bar RossoResponded on February 21, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

    Sunday night 50% off wine was a pleasant surprise, and the octopus appetizer was amazing! If only the short ribs with some sort of imaginary, strange ‘Marsala’ sauce (no way was it made with Marsala wine), stuffed chicken and bread basket had any resemblance of seasoning…all three were as bland as a buffet restaurant. How this place has such high reviews for food is beyond me - obviously, not from ordering what we had. Server at the bar was great, was loud even though restaurant wasn’t 10% full (many may like this energy), and interior design is beautiful.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're so glad you enjoyed the wine deal and the octopus appetizer—it’s definitely a favorite. We'll definitely take your input into account as we continually work to improve the menu. We’re also happy to hear you had a great experience with our server and enjoyed the atmosphere. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try and look forward to welcoming you back!

    I recently celebrated my birthday at Bar Rosso, and it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it perfect for a relaxing evening. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly, going out of their way to ensure we had a great time. I highly recommend Bar Rosso for any special occasion or just a nice night out. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Finding street parking was tough. FYI: The parking lot across from the restaurant only takes cash The restaurant had good ambience . Not too loud (till 10 PM then there was live band and music). Good Cocktails and drinks . Food was in good portions. We couldn't eat beyond the appetizers. Service was great. Recommend this place

    Our lunch outside today was so nice! We had a friendly accommodating waitress and the food was very delicious. We shared the calamari, brussels, burrato, and the grilled squid from the regular menu for appetizers - yum. Would highly recommend the burger with all the fixings, we had a few bang-bang shrimp wrap fans, and the shrimp and avocado salad looked pretty amazing too. Sadly, no one had room left to try the desserts.
