Reviews of Rossini's (Restaurant)

Daniel Stefanczyk

Bestest place in Chatham to dine.

Jim MacQueen

Good Italian Restaurant. Pricey. Limited Menu.

Adam Snow

One of Chatham's finer restaurants. Make reservations. Prime rib is always excellent here. Great spot for lunch or dinner.

Laura Reimer

Great food- if you've got the money to pay the price.

Mike S

Amazing food and service as always! Always consistently great food.

Chantelle Hitchcock

I've been coming here since I was a kid. The spaghetti sauce is my favourite. They have better prime rib than the Keg. Apparently, they have this fancy oven that makes it completely perfect. I have never had a bad meal or experience at Rossini's. It's not cheap but they don't skimp on quality. I'd rather pay a bit more and have a wonderful meal.

Andrew Tompsett

Excellent food, wonderful staff, and a perfect place to hold a special event

Bear Claw

The food was so good I can't believe they have a Restaurant with caliber of food No Restaurant in Windsor can even come close blew me away the service was very friendly and Professional Love it, went for my 35 Anniversary I'll be trying to visit once a month from now on.....

Nancy “Greene Nana” Sensabaugh

Had a great meal. They graciously accommodated us in a private room so we were able to visit easily. The service was good. They did not rush us .

Greg Kazarian

First time here in quite some time. Food was incredible and so was the service!! Definitely will be back again. The lamb was some of the best I've ever had!

Ed Fryscok

Very nice restaurant

Steve Cameron

Incredibly relaxed atmosphere, servers topped up water, constantly. All food had large portions. Salad dressing was not placed on top of the salad, so visibly different, than you'd usually expect from a restaurant..(usually its tossed already) I had the Liver, and it was absolutely delicious. Dessert was out of this world. Pecan pie, with vanilla ice cream. Bruschetta was incredibly filling, and fresh crisp tomatoes matched the cheese on top. Will be back without hesitation.

Sean Broderick

Lamb was amazing.

Brett Gartner

Kelly DiScetta

Synthia Trembley

Old style restaurant like back in the seventies.Not too many left like this for fine dining.

Shawn VanderWeide

Food was good, overall pretty uppity up place. I like a more relaxed setting. I would not bring kids here.

Ron Lloyd

Excellent lunch at reasonable prices. I had a New York steak, medium rare. It came as ordered and was very tender. I also had a salad with blue cheese dressing which is made in house. It was also excellent. My wife had beef liver and said it was also excellent. All in all it was very good and is only $13 each.

David Paulovics

The wine, appetizers and prime rib were delicious! It was a very enjoyable night here. I will be sure to come back here again.

B S

My wife recommended this place to me and it was a pleasant surprise - the food, the service and the ambience almost seemed to take you to a whole other place...the real kicker though was the price...I almost felt guilty paying so little - I don't go to Chatham often but when I do, I'll definitely be revisiting!

Nan Stuckey

Wonderful lunch. Service excellent and food devine.

Greg Wellerd

Very good food

Melvin Goddard

A quintessential Italian 'Ristorante' with Olde World charm. THE service was great, and the food greater, and lots of it. I had a perfectly done prime rib, that I couldn't finish. I was stuffed! Prices were on par with the quality. A nice place to eat.????

C T Grace

Steak was delicious Side and portions enough for a woman but a man would still be hungry. Better choice of veggies sides. beets and peppers as veggies are very odd choice and a very few would enjoy either. Dessert was great. Cheesecake with house raspberry sauce.

Kevin Owen

We have eaten at this restaurant several times and it is always amazing! Ask for the table next to the fire on a winter, or damp day and have one of the best romantic dining experiences available. If you appreciate a good wine with your meal, Rossini’s has the largest and most diverse wine list available. Every time my wife or myself has ordered something, it comes presisly the way we ordered it. Rossini’s has the attention to detail that no other restaurant in CK seems to have. I wish I could give it another star

sam telford

Super meal

Mac

Finest Italian restaurant between Toronto and Detroit. Good and fairly priced wine list. Italian food definitely their strength. Much cheaper prices than a comparable restaurant in Toronto, Lodon or Detroit. Superb ambiance and friendly, informal service. Thanks for several memorable meals!

Mel&Jay Jee

Delicious and accommodating...I had their squash ravioli as a vegan option with salad which was lovely.

ROBERT JAMES WHITTINGTON

Friendly staff , Great ! Foods fun four thee whole family !

Fran Johnson

Long time restaurant in Chatham. Great food, lovely atmosphere.

Michelle Dallaire

Best date night ever. Food was totally amazing and the service impeccable

Wendy M

Had a great time with my Family until everyone had really bad food poisoning.. FYI we ate the stuff mushroom caps, clam chowder soup, full rack of lamb meals and veal parmesan meals. Something made us all have to go to the bathroom and be sick MULTIPLE times later that night.. Never experienced this here before until now. We have eaten here for many years. Not sure if we will be back in the future.

Joyce Urbanski

The food was excellent!! I appreciated the fact that the kitchen made accommodations to my meal and the wait staff were very attentive

Jason Heyninck

Had a good meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. Max 6 at a table right now (Dec.17/20). Me and the wife both had the fillet with about 6 drinks. $120 bucks.

Jordyn Lancaster

I cant believe the 4+ star rating on this place. Been here twice as an out of towner - once to try it and another time to give them a second chance. This place was very dark and is in DIRE need of a facelift....like it needed it 40 years ago. i had a steak and everything about the food and this atmosphere was considerably less than average. The person I was with RAVED about this place. I was/am perplexed as to why...

Katrina Pilon

I had won a coupon over 2 years ago for valentines day never went until tonight I never had a date to use it on till now it was our anniversary we brought our 11 month old son our dinner was free and still the service we received was phenomenal we left a very good tip at the end they were absolutely amazing offering things to our son for him to eat the food I can not tell u how great it was chicken parm was to die for so good I don't like spring rolls and omg it was good all of the staff went above and beyond exceptional service from the staff we will definitely be going back family friendly lots of laughs we forgot all about life's stressors definitely a night we will remember thank you

Cait T (DutchysWife)

Went there for a Christmas party. The selections were amazing, food was awesome and the service was outstanding. First time going and was definitely impressed! Prices are a little expensive, but so worth it for the meal!

DANIEL SHEARER

Great food and service

Tooth Brush Family

Did not enjoy my food at this restaurant. It was extremely overpriced for what you get. How it rates close to 4 stars is beyond me. I do enjoy good food and don’t mind paying for it. Rossini’s is not the place.

W Gobert

A local favorite, classified as fine dining among Chatham choices. It's quite old, dark, dated, but still the food is good.

JOEL VAN KESTEREN

Wonderful atmosphere! Great food!! Great service!!!

Adam Tedesco

Wonderful staff, quiet, cozy environment. Table beside the fire makes for one of the best dining experiences I've had in a very long time. Pam was very attentive and friendly. Food is amazing from apps all the way to desert. Prices are high but to be expected for an establishment of that quality. Will definitely have to make our way back to Chatham to return!

Michael Tredree

Super lovely place with exceptional service

Freda Hughes

The food is fabulous and the service is excellent!!!!!!

Dianne Beaudry

Totally amazing

Krissie Davies

Had New years dinner here. Two 4 course meals with two ceasers was $172. Would have been ok if meal was out of this world but it was just ok. Decent food. Went to chilled cork last year and 4 course meal was only $50 each with champagne and you got a chilled half bottle of wine to go. And AMAZING food. Will maybe go back for pizza. Maybe, felt taken advantage of.

Britany Girard

The food is fresh and amazingly delicious, however the best part of our experience was our server Pam. We will definitely be back and we will be requesting Pam as our server. Pam gets a standing ovation!

Thrifty Kitty

Excellent food and service.

John Hudson

Excellent food great atmosphere! The best wait staff

Pen Broadbottom

Wonderful food!! Good friendly and helpful service (waitress was genuinely lovely). Very accommodating to wheelchair user. Also 2 in my party required their food cut up; they did this was done in the kitchen and brought out; this provided a sense of dignity for the guests. Highly recommend!

pulpfiction111

loved the prime rib!!!!!!!! best in town

Ruthanne Thain

Rossini's was amazing. My hubby's prime rib was too rare ...wanted him to send it back but he didn't want to do that. He asked for med rare but it was red!! We had a lovely evening with my brother and his wife.

Marion Stuart-Kosmala

Always VERY good with such a lovely decor!

Corey Wall

Food was amazing and it didn't take long to get our order

Terry Willson

Great meal, and really enjoyed their date night special.

Patricia Pook

Up until recently this was my favourite restaurant and I have eaten in many places and countries. Covid has certainly had an impact. Understandably menus have been scaled back...I am unhappy that prices have escalated, in my opinion unreasonably. What I most find egregious is the quality of food. A wilted salad with 3 tomatoes on the side and a plop of dressing in the middle is not fine dining. I will leave the rest of the menu un stated. Table cloths and napkins, no intrusive music and excellent service raises Rossinis above other restaurants. I will try again and hopefully return to my 5 star review of the past. ( just a thought- maybe a little extra rather than a little less might keep diner' support...I know, I know "covid".) service

Roland Laprise

The food was delicious we had the steak so tender will be back

Don Read

Try the Wednesday evening date night option!

Bryan Chambers

Excellent service, incredibly good food.

Theresa Pitre

Holy delicious food

thehavenseeker

The atmosphere is this place is fantastic. The lighting toward the bar area lends itself to a personable, private, and comfortable feel. The food, while on the higher side in pricing, is well prepared and with service to match. An excellent place to celebrate a milestone or enjoy a nice meal!

Douglas Kennedy

Everything that came out from the kitchen to our table of 6 was excellent! Fantastic wait staff!

Gary C (Bear)

Always good food and service.

shirley hitchcock

So much history ... great food & service. Enjoyed a lovely evening with family.

Adriaan Pieters

great food and service

HMCK

Had the veal parmesan, slightly overdone but not bad

idjut (idjut)

Food is usually good, but priced at the high end, though the food does not meet expectations commanded by the price.

Morris Evershed

Great restaurant, the waitress and management were very helpful and friendly. The presentation and the meal was just great.

Richard Viknanek

excellent place to eat Wednesdays are Date night dinner for $60. 00

Greg Sparling

Always love coming here. Inside is air-conditioned and outside patio is nice to sit on a nice night and have the fountain in the background. Fish special was great and the pasta amazing. Tried the chilled cucumber and dill soup and it was good too.

Susan Dorion

The food and ambience of Rossini's are excellent. It is like you are in Italy dining in one of their venues. The prices are comparable to other fine dining facilities. We will definitely make a return visit.

April Lynn

Amazing food and amazing service

Chuck Belanger

Never disappointed! Great food great atmosphere

Dave Stankevich

Great ambience. Top quality food.

Mike Munro

We were there for Date Night. Excellent food and excellent value. Our waitress was most attentive.

Allison Humphrey

Wonderful atmosphere and great food

Neal Schoen

Best food I have had in Chatham (yet). Prime rib was cooked to perfection.

Ron Hilroy

Yes the food is delicious, but you pay for it. The staff is excellent. I find the building a little dark and confined. I prefer more of an open, well-lit space.

Duane Nichols

My spouse and I had dinner here with another couple it was amazing the owner served our table she was a very humble lady that did not introduce herself as the owner but as an employee very nice. great food and atmosphere

Jean Tutty

Food was great service good

Donna Hare

Fantastic food and service !

D. McPhee

Best restaurant in Ontario West of London. Prime Rib is usually a feature. Extensive wine list.

ian docker

EXCELLENT...AS USUAL...

Jan McNulty

Portions were large but very heavy sauce with the pasta.

Kevin Laframboise

Good service, good food.

Jim Walker

People say it's like Casa Bella. I beg to differ. Try it and you will see.

Doug Jacques

Overall experience excellent. From the welcoming, professional service, attention to detail, superb meal and very reasonable prices. A special note to the waitress who has been there for years. Her welcoming response to our arrival was so appreciated. Our treatment was like family.

stacey billett

Beautiful patio, friendly attentive servers, it's one of our favs

Guy Pare

This is an "old school" restaurant for all the right reasons. If you're in a rush don't go. Real food takes a little longer to prepare. Butternut squash ravioli is crazy good.

Brenda Einarson

VERY Expensive ! VERY Little Food for the Price. Like 3 little tiny baby potatoes with my little piece of meat. I don't have a very big appetite at all. I left there hungry. My husband was still VERY hungry when we left there. You pay $35.00 for a small plate of food ? Like What ? It was presentation. I don't want presentation. I want to eat that's the purpose of ordering supper. I would say DO NOT go there. I mean really ? You pay that much per plate and you leave hungry? Ummmm NO !!!! People there are way better fancy restaurants out there that still do presentation and give you LOTS of food and you leave full. Don't Go ! I've eaten all over the world from take out to family restaurants to chain restaurant's to the extreme high end fancy restaurant. I've been to then all. DON'T GO !!!! You'll regret and you will want to go out for supper to another restaurant after eating there.

Linda Stewart

Date night menu is great.

Precision Mobile

Over rated to expensive for what you get won't be back.

Genny LRaymond

Mmmmm

Kristine McDonald

Awesome summer Perch and Pickerel Dinner.

Christine Prosser

We enjoyed a special evening out with my elderly father. The restaurant is cozy but well-lit over each table (so important for someone with low vision), the service was warm and attentive, and the food was superb, as usual. The chef created a special Moroccan vegetable stew for my vegan husband (I called ahead), and he was thrilled with his meal (I wished I'd ordered it too, after I tasted his). There's a reason this restaurant has endured for decades. Keep up the great work, Rossini's! Looking forward to our next visit.

Peter Whitfield

Excellent food.. fantastic service.. What more can you ask for?

Yvonne Woods-Babcock

Felt like royalty being pampered by staff while celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary! The food was absolutely amazing and presentation very appealing. They even gave us complimentary champagne to help celebrate our special occasion! Definitely going back again!

Amanda Bulckaert

Always delicious they have not let us down yet.

Marie 15

Haven't been in awhile & our meal was great. The calamari was the best we've had. The bread was different , didn't care for buns. Over all very good meal

Paul Hoekstra

One of the best places for a wonderful dining experience in Chatham.

Kristen Charron

The food was so good. Mushroom risotto with scallops in truffle sauce. My husband had the veal parmesan. Both were AMAZING. The staff were so kind and accommodating for our young son. If you're looking for great food and wonderful service, look no further. You've found it at Rossini's.

Nancy Cyrenne

Went there on Wednesday they call it date night. $50.00 per couple, each get a glass of wine, share an appetizer, get soup or juice, entree (last night was peppercorn steak or half a cashue chicken) both were excellent, share dessert. The food was good and hot. They gave you a lot too. The waitress we had was excellent.

Delta Star

Like stepping into a luxury 80's restaurant, but in a very good way. Food is superb.

Shawn Hornick

The food was amazing

Mrs. Sparling

Excellent food and atmosphere either inside or on the patio and terrific service always

Carolyn Munro

Excellent meal as always. Celebrated our 54th anniversary with a date night at Rossini's. Couldn't of Had a better meal!

M Green

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and reasonably priced for a higher end restaurant.

After reserving, we were seated in an empty dining room. We were happy as we were celebrating an event (we are a couple) Ordered the rossini balls (arrancini) as an app, salad and soup for entree, gnocchi and chicken parm for main. The bread arrived warm and was quite good. That's where it ended. The soup (clam chowder) was clearly out of a can, the salad was standard fare. Arrived an hour after seating. Then came main. Gnocchi dish was hot. The gnocchi itself tasted quite floury. It didn't seem like the gnocchi has been mixed completely. The shredded beef in the dish was overdone and gloggy. For the chicken parm, the chicken was overdone and very dry. The sauce tasted very much like tomato sauce out of a tin. The meat in the spaghetti has an odd taste. Guessing it's cardamom. Very off putting. I suppose our expectation was that Rossini's would have been 4 star. We were very excited to try it, but we won't be back. There is an incredible opportunity at this location. The atmosphere can work and that dining room could be packed daily, but the food is so substandard that it lets the entire place down. Such a shame. There isn't much on the menu, so afternoon to basic cooking skills shouldn't be too difficult. Missing an Alfredo dish on the menu.

Hazel St. Pierre

Excellent food & excellent service!!
