- DDarrinPhoenix / Arizona •31 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe location of Rosso is great in downtown Phoenix because of the sports venues and vibrant feel. My partner and I shared a beet salad, Pappardelle with short ribs, a Bufala pizza and Tiramasu. The good beet salad had mixed red and golden beets, goat cheese dollops, and crunchy dried beets. The pasta was delicious with the noodles cooked al dente and tossed with a rich short ribs sauce . The pizza was flavorful but the crust toward the center of the pie was droopy due to a little too much sauce and cheese. I do recommend Rosso.More infoRosso Italian$$$$• Italian• Downtown Phoenix•4.5

Grilled veggies are great, meatballs and the New Zealand salmon is fabulous .
