My favorite Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the food is Devine. The tortellini is my favorite. The prices are not bad for the amount of food you get. We always have leftovers for lunch. The deserts are also delicious.

I ate here for a work event, and overall the experience was mediocre. I had the meat lasagna which was overpriced for the quality. It tasted just a little better than a frozen lasagna you can get at a grocery store. Seeing that we had a big group, the service was good. The overall look of the restaurant is ok. I probably wouldn't was eat here again.

Absolutely wonderful! The food is divine and the service was excellent and polite. My only critique is they don't offer sweet tea. You have to sweeten it at the table which is just not possible. Other than that, everything was wonderful. I ate by myself and spent about $25 including the tip which was $5.

We were very impressed with this place! Greeted by the hostess with a big smile, we enjoyed the authentic "non-chainy" cuisine. I had the chicken scallopini which was excellent, while my husband had the delicious chicken Alfredo. The crab cake appetizer was also very tasty. My 12 month old devoured many servings of warm garlic bread! The complimentary bruschetta and sorbet was also a plus. We had excellent service and will definitely return!

Nice clean restaurant. Decor rather spartan, but I assume it's more in keeping with the small eateries in EUROPE. Not very picey. Very attentive wait staff. The service is prompt. Maybe because I was hungry but the salad was very nice.Fresh crunchy lettecue. Small basket of buttered bread was fresh and tasty. I chose a glass of Zinfandel an it was nicely chilled. Oh almost forgot the sorbet to clean the palate was a welcomed touch. Well my first choice didn't make the grade ,wasn't impressed with the eggplant parmesean Ah but the seafood pasta knocked it out the park. So the 4th star.

Great food and atmosphere. Private booth for couples are really nice. Priced on the mid to higher end but worth it. ($60 for 2) Perfect for couples or groups. I wouldn't recommend it for small children, but would for teens. Small scoop of peach sorbet before the main dish was a pleasent surprise. Seafood pasta was fantastic. My wife had the fish of the day and it was also great.

We had a Groupon for this place and decided to cash in when Olive Garden had a forty-five (45) minute wait. Nice place - cute lil bistro. Food was good - portions are small - price is above average considering portions. My wife really liked them. Didn't like the Ceasar salad, she thought it had too much vinegar. I had the Butter Garlic Shrimp Pasta - my wife had the Shrimp Alfredo. Bevarges included, a sweet tea and I had a Peroni - we had a $30 Groupon, plus $25 remaining - its was $55 between the two of us with tip. They are worthy of 3.5 stars - but Yelp hasn't set that up yet.

My husband and I went with our Groupon on a random Thursday. We were able to be seated in one of the curtained, more romantic tables, which we enjoyed. When we were seated we were brought a bruschetta to try that tasted fresh and delicious. We got the calamari to start. It was crispy and tasted like it was freshly done. The marinara it was served with was definitely about average. It speaks well of their marinara based pasta dishes (which we did not have.) We both ordered the caesar salad. The dressing definitely tasted homemade and was more in an authentic style rather that the bottled type. The bread that came with it was fought over at our table. For dinner I had the veal scallopini which seemed to be served piccata. It was yummy and authentic. My husband got the chicken alfredo. It was a very creamy alfredo sauce and was quite a generous portion. He took the remainder to go for a second meal. The star of the show in my opinion was the tiramisu. I thought it was the best I've had in Jackson and I would prefer it over even Amerigo. It was 100% homemade and reminded me of something my grandma would serve. Service was a little rushed, mainly because I feel like our food was probably coming out of the kitchen too fast. Granted, it being a weeknight a lot of people may have preferred it that way. We just like to eat slow when we're having a big meal. Next time we'll ask and I'm sure we'll be accommodated. We will definitely be back!

Hopefully we hit it on a bad night. It was close to Thanksgiving. My entree was so bad I only ate one bite (other dishes were ok). When I sent back a full plate and told the server I couldn't eat it, instead of offering to remake it or exchange it she acted like I just didn't have a sophisticated enough pallet to appreciate their food. Also, they clearly did not like that we brought our two children with us. They gave my 2 year old a glass goblet of ice water and when I asked if they could give him a to-go cup with a lid, the server said she didn't think they did that (Every restaurant does that). I had to point out to her that I could see that another table had to-go cups. Like I said, hopefully it was just a bad server on a bad night.

My daughter and I loved the food and quiet atmosphere . They have several small curtained,quaint tables for a romantic night. But you must reserve ahead to get one. I had the lasagna and it was wonderful . My daughter had the spaghetti with meatballs. The best meatballs I have ever tried. The waitress was friendly and helpful for our first time experience. Loved the sorbet served to cleanse our palate. The garden salad was great, much better than the Caesar salad . We didn't try a desert but they did have three very good looking deserts to offer. We would love to go back again . Hope you try and enjoy as much as we did !!

My lady's brother Jim introduced us to Rossini's the day after Thanksgiving. Needless to say, we were in a mood for quality over quantity! Rossini's seems to occupy the entire ground floor of a pretty red brick building. The decor and furnishings are simple and sparse in that sort of expensive way. The menu, quintessentially Italian, was interesting. We ordered a bottle of Malbac, which was excellent, but unfortunately I have forgotten the name of it. The service was friendly and brisk, but distinctly lacking in the "knowledge" department, not even understanding basic culinary terms, and unable to answer questions without reverting to the chef. I had veal limone with fresh vegetables and mushrooms. It was absolutely excellent. Jenna had veal Marsala, also with mushrooms, and she was very happy, as was Jim with his salad (he is on a diet, pity him.) We will be back next time we are in Jackson.

Can't say enough good things about Rossini. Great food Great service. Everything is homemade andone of the best Caesar salad with anchovies I have ever had. A friend from Chicago who really knows his Italian food says the veal is the best he's ever eaten and I say the same about the meatballs.

First time to eat and we used a Groupon. I got the Chicken Cacciatore. I chose this because the description sounded very rustic Italian. Best decision ever. The meal came with salad, bruchetta, bread, and sorbet. Ended the meal with tirimisu. Gotta say that I was impressed with the meal. Seems like they home cooked Italian for us.

This restaurant will FAIL. My family, friends and colleagues will never go there again. I will never recommend anyone to go there. Stick with Amerigo, Char and Bravo! My friends warned me not to go there because of their low quality food and bad service. But I had already purchased the Groupon deal, so we decided to give it a try. We went on a weekend evening around 8 pm. The entire restaurant was empty except for one table beside us. We ordered the "Feed Me Tony" tasting faire as well as another pasta dish. It was a mistake. There was no variety in the tasting dishes. It included a Chef Boyardee inspired beef ravioli , a mediocre sorbet, a plain pasta with spinach, pasta with a SINGLE piece of shrimp, a piece of overcooked chicken marsala, a piece of honey mustard chicken, and a slice of cheesecake. We also ordered a separate seafood pasta dish that was disgustingly salty. They claim this food is home cooked, but the quality begs to differ. Even our waitress felt badly about the food choice of the "Chef". The WORST part of the night was the host. She was an older female in her mid 50s to 60s who was racist, obnoxiously loud, and uneducated. We had questions about the Groupon deal, but instead of answering them, she made several rude comments towards us. I was calm and polite even though I could see the desperation in this old woman's face to make money in the sparsely populated restaurant. The highlight of the evening happened after we walked out. She flipped us off! It shames me to see that Mississippi has people like this. Again, I will never recommend anyone to go there. A horrible experience to the say the least...

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I had the Butter Garlic Shrimp Pasta - my wife had the Shrimp Alfredo. Bevarges included, a sweet tea and I had a Peroni - we had a $30 Groupon, plus $25 remaining - its was $55 between the two of us with tip. They are worthy of 3.5 stars - but Yelp hasn't set that up yet.

My husband and I went with our Groupon on a random Thursday. We were able to be seated in one of the curtained, more romantic tables, which we enjoyed. When we were seated we were brought a bruschetta to try that tasted fresh and delicious. We got the calamari to start. It was crispy and tasted like it was freshly done. The marinara it was served with was definitely about average. It speaks well of their marinara based pasta dishes (which we did not have.) We both ordered the caesar salad. The dressing definitely tasted homemade and was more in an authentic style rather that the bottled type. The bread that came with it was fought over at our table. For dinner I had the veal scallopini which seemed to be served piccata. It was yummy and authentic. My husband got the chicken alfredo. It was a very creamy alfredo sauce and was quite a generous portion. He took the remainder to go for a second meal. The star of the show in my opinion was the tiramisu. I thought it was the best I've had in Jackson and I would prefer it over even Amerigo. It was 100% homemade and reminded me of something my grandma would serve. Service was a little rushed, mainly because I feel like our food was probably coming out of the kitchen too fast. Granted, it being a weeknight a lot of people may have preferred it that way. We just like to eat slow when we're having a big meal. Next time we'll ask and I'm sure we'll be accommodated. We will definitely be back!

Hopefully we hit it on a bad night. It was close to Thanksgiving. My entree was so bad I only ate one bite (other dishes were ok). When I sent back a full plate and told the server I couldn't eat it, instead of offering to remake it or exchange it she acted like I just didn't have a sophisticated enough pallet to appreciate their food. Also, they clearly did not like that we brought our two children with us. They gave my 2 year old a glass goblet of ice water and when I asked if they could give him a to-go cup with a lid, the server said she didn't think they did that (Every restaurant does that). I had to point out to her that I could see that another table had to-go cups. Like I said, hopefully it was just a bad server on a bad night.

My lady's brother Jim introduced us to Rossini's the day after Thanksgiving. Needless to say, we were in a mood for quality over quantity! Rossini's seems to occupy the entire ground floor of a pretty red brick building. The decor and furnishings are simple and sparse in that sort of expensive way. The menu, quintessentially Italian, was interesting. We ordered a bottle of Malbac, which was excellent, but unfortunately I have forgotten the name of it. The service was friendly and brisk, but distinctly lacking in the "knowledge" department, not even understanding basic culinary terms, and unable to answer questions without reverting to the chef. I had veal limone with fresh vegetables and mushrooms. It was absolutely excellent. Jenna had veal Marsala, also with mushrooms, and she was very happy, as was Jim with his salad (he is on a diet, pity him.) We will be back next time we are in Jackson.

Can't say enough good things about Rossini. Great food Great service. Everything is homemade andone of the best Caesar salad with anchovies I have ever had. A friend from Chicago who really knows his Italian food says the veal is the best he's ever eaten and I say the same about the meatballs.

First time to eat and we used a Groupon. I got the Chicken Cacciatore. I chose this because the description sounded very rustic Italian. Best decision ever. The meal came with salad, bruchetta, bread, and sorbet. Ended the meal with tirimisu. Gotta say that I was impressed with the meal. Seems like they home cooked Italian for us.

This restaurant will FAIL. My family, friends and colleagues will never go there again. I will never recommend anyone to go there. Stick with Amerigo, Char and Bravo! My friends warned me not to go there because of their low quality food and bad service. But I had already purchased the Groupon deal, so we decided to give it a try. We went on a weekend evening around 8 pm. The entire restaurant was empty except for one table beside us. We ordered the "Feed Me Tony" tasting faire as well as another pasta dish. It was a mistake. There was no variety in the tasting dishes. It included a Chef Boyardee inspired beef ravioli , a mediocre sorbet, a plain pasta with spinach, pasta with a SINGLE piece of shrimp, a piece of overcooked chicken marsala, a piece of honey mustard chicken, and a slice of cheesecake. We also ordered a separate seafood pasta dish that was disgustingly salty. They claim this food is home cooked, but the quality begs to differ. Even our waitress felt badly about the food choice of the "Chef". The WORST part of the night was the host. She was an older female in her mid 50s to 60s who was racist, obnoxiously loud, and uneducated. We had questions about the Groupon deal, but instead of answering them, she made several rude comments towards us. I was calm and polite even though I could see the desperation in this old woman's face to make money in the sparsely populated restaurant. The highlight of the evening happened after we walked out. She flipped us off! It shames me to see that Mississippi has people like this. Again, I will never recommend anyone to go there. A horrible experience to the say the least...

My daughter and I loved the food and quiet atmosphere . They have several small curtained,quaint tables for a romantic night. But you must reserve ahead to get one. I had the lasagna and it was wonderful . My daughter had the spaghetti with meatballs. The best meatballs I have ever tried. The waitress was friendly and helpful for our first time experience. Loved the sorbet served to cleanse our palate. The garden salad was great, much better than the Caesar salad . We didn't try a desert but they did have three very good looking deserts to offer. We would love to go back again . Hope you try and enjoy as much as we did !!
