"A really delicious Italian dinner. As many other reviewers have mentioned it is very authentic and the service is fantastic. Our waiter Anthony did a fabulous job and was extremely attentive. They also have a very large menu and they had at least half a dozen specials, which I always love and usually order. Parking can be quite tricky so the best option will be valet for $11. Inside is small, although it is very cozy and can easily host multiple large groups as we saw two different tables with at least a dozen people at both tables. The only issue we had was our entrées came out extremely slowly, about 45 minutes after our entrées came out, so there must’ve been a back up in the kitchen. However, the food was delicious when it finally came out. I chose the Arugula and Beet Salad to start, and it was very good. I wish there would have been more beets and more goat cheese, but the flavors were very nice. I wouldn’t really recommend it though, because there were only a few beets at the bottom of the salad. For my entrée I chose one of the specials for the evening: the Osso Bucco. It was honestly very good and a very large sized portion. I left the restaurant feeling very full and happy. Overall a great and casual Italian dinner in the heart of Scottsdale. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a delicious Italian meal and especially if you’re looking for a place that is more casual than some of the other options close by. I plan to be back next time I am visiting town."

"Open Table destroys any hope of Rossini 's Restaurant getting a favourable review for our visit last night. We booked quite late but the app confirmed the booking was valid and showed 3 places were available 22:00 22:15 and 22:30. The open table app shows the address for Rossini 's restaurant but most importantly omits important detail that the restaurant is incorporated inside The Sheraton Hotel. Our taxi dropped us 'near ' the hotel but since we were looking for a restaurant we walked past The Sheraton Hotel twice. (Rossini 's is not signed from the street We had a table for 22:15 but as the place is hidden in a big international cannot miss hotel complex we did not get to Rossini 's until 22:25. We were told the restaurant was closing (advertised hours said open until 22:30 and open table app accepts bookings up to 22:30. Fortunately the very helpful service staff at Rossini 's arranged for us to be served a meal (restricted menu in the hotel 'living room '. The meal was good though we were served baby sized portions. The service was helpful and friendly too. The menu was limited. No chicken dishes. Main points are even if we 'd reserved a table for 19:00 it would still be impossible to find the venue from the information on Open Table. 3500 Baht for a bottle of chardonnay in the 'living room ' says enough about The Sheraton ' s attitude. (It is only a bottle of supermarket wine. The saving point may be that although The Sheraton have lost the plot in respect to pricing for a bottle of plonk the cocktails are really nice and at 350 Baht semi-affordable. Summing up, even if we lived in Bangkok we probably couldn 't recommend Rossini 's Italian Restaurant mainly as we couldn 't find it. Advertise properly by clearly showing address detail."
