Cafe Rossi in Down

Trust me and get the All Day Fry! Absolutely fantastic. The staff are boss too. I fully recommend it and I’ll definitely be going back.

Amazing food Amazing service Great price Loved it

Went for breakfast this morning. The potato bread looked like it had been deep fat fried and was coming away in bubbles. The grease on the plate from the fry’s was disgusting. The colour of the meat in the panini showed how poor quality it was. We put the majority of it in a box to bring home to the dogs. I think if they spent more time doing a good breakfast instead of rushing it out it would be better. We’ve been a few times and it’s gradually getting worse. Almost £60 and definitely not worth it. Don’t think we will go back.

Tasty breakfast with very friendly customer service

Had a roast beef dinner, had to look for the roast beef on plate meat had not a great taste.gravy was very thick not great.

When we arrived, it was very quiet. So we were served extra quickly, very reasonably priced. And tasty food.

Called for lunch and enjoyed our meals. Staff were welcoming. Nice choice available on menu. Food was tasty, portions were generous and reasonably priced.

What has happened Cafe Rossi, can’t believe the way it has gone downhill so really badly, used to serve beautiful food and had professional, polite and friendly staff. It’s a pity I didn’t read the reviews before I took my family there and wasted their hard earned money, I won’t be back and certainly won’t be recommending it to anyone.

Great food great staff . Have had lunch and dinner here many times . Always great .

Great layout.no need to rush, efficient and friendly staff, well priced too. Just one issue, one of us had a fry which was greasy, too much oil used, I had baked potato with salad, potato had too much butter or oil in filling. Salad had too much raw red onion raw peppers, not enough tomato. Coffees and tea was great!

Just passing through, the food was ok, nice staff, hopefully will call again,

Won't be returning to this restaurant unfortunately unclean glasses. Food came quicky but very disappointed with taste and appearance, definitely need of improvement

A delightful place to eat still after my last time there 15 years ago .

A friendly and efficient cafe. Great selection of food. Breakfast served til 3pm!! Definitely recommend Cafe Rossi and will come again.

I stumbled on this gem by accident. Fish N Chips were incredible. Felt like really genuine family ran restaurant with staff that cared. I wish all serving staff were like this. Nothing was a bother. Applie crumble was fantastic. I got 2 courses and a fizzy drink and paid £25.

Dependable service and menu, recommend.

Good food and really lovely, helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!

Super friendly staff and lovely food, really nice for lunch!

Very busy place, took a while to get seated. Food was really really good. Staff was a little unfriendly, unless you were a regular or knew the staff

Great place for something to eat in Ballynahinch. Lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere and lovely food. Highly recommended..

Superb cafe and tasty homemade cake and top notch coffee ...staff welcoming, friendly and attentive...deserves 5 stars

The best fry around made with tasty, quality produce and fantastic portion sizes

We had bacon and egg soda with coffee,absolutely delicious, staff friendly.

Great for a break very friendly lovely food come in and try for yourselves

Great place to refuel from a cup of tea to a full breakfast or a big dinner call in and see for yourselves

Lovely breakfast mini fry was just right for me and my sister tea was was lovely and traybake to finish off had lots of time to chat and catch up and didn't feel rushed or pressured to give up table.

Great food. Very good portions. Staff were lovely. Quick and friendly service. In ideal location.

Always reliable. Great food and service. Particularly recommend for breakfast!

Wonderful place, very friendly and good food.

This place is always a winner, everything about it is great, food, staff, atmosphere value for money varied choice child menu, everything is a blessing to be there. Can't recomend enough. I just wish I lived in Ulster so I could visit more.

We've had several work lunches at Rossi's each and every time the staff have been polite & helpful. Waiting time on being served and the food coming out have always been short with most time waiting to be served 10 minutes and an additional 15-20 minutes for the food when the restaurant was busy. The food is reasonably priced and of a good quality for the priced comparison. Can't recommend Rossi's enough for a quick lunch time bite.

Do not go if you are a coeliac. Even though menu states g/f options, my husband was served a dish that wasn't gluten free. The server was informed of his condition while taking orders and he asked for the g/f option without the stuffing. He received his dinner with stuffing and when he enquired whether it was gluten free the server replied yes,then came back 5mins later to say that it wasnt. Chef and servers don't seem to understand the implications of coeliac suffers eating gluten/wheat-very disappointing!

Excellent food plenty of it, fast and friendly service nice staff

Nice food and staff were lovely. Highly recommended.

Lovely food keen prices...friendly staff

Staff are always super friendly and diligent, the food is well made and extremely generous portions, lovely place. Cheap and cheerful, they do what they do well.

Very well run and friendly. Excellent food x

Food looked absolutely fantastic however didn’t get to try it as waited for over 20 mins for anyone to come take our order . No one arrived so we left . Very disappointing considering cafe was quiet enough at the time of visit

Beautiful food,lovely staff, plenty of space between tables we were not rushed out as they were busy with Mother’s Day .

Delicious food, we had a large group of people for a family celebration. Preordered our food.

Excellent food very good value for money

Called in for a late breakfast, got the mini fry , it was just right. Think it was the manager that was serving, He was very helpful and came back to ask if we were happy with everything, it was nice to see someone taking care of their business .

Great food , service and staff first class 👌

Called in for breakfast which was spot on and good value for money.

Was very tasty and staff where very nice and attentive. Would definitely eat here again

Lovely food nice staff and plenty of space.

Above and beyond expectation 5*

Very tasty and staff were excellent

At a birthday party for my grand daughter me , my wife and daughter were hungry so I looked for a cafe for something to eat , I must say I got the roast beef dinner meat was very tender, potatoes were creamy,and the vegetables and gravy were to die for my wife and daughter took the chicken wrap with chips and garlic potatoes absolutely beautiful they said there was so much food we all had a container full of our food to take home . The place was beautiful and clean and the service we got beat many hotels we’ve been at . If your looking for a birthday treat or valentines meal try it out we can’t recommend it enough

Booked a table for a Saturday night. We arrived and the restaurant was already busy. Despite their being 3 large groups, the service was excellent and staff were very attentive. Good sized portions and everyone in our group enjoyed their food. Only let down was the dessert - the pavlova could have done with a lot more fruit!

A great Fry to be had here love it !!

The people working there were so nice it was a wonderful experience

Great food, very friendly staff, well spaced tables

Ordered a chicken and ham omelette, the garnish was green leaves with brown edges nothing else to the garnish , chicken was so dry I believe it was from the day before.when I confronted the manager about my meal he was verbally defensive and rude, I then approached the counter to pay a member of staff and explained my disappointment to which she also had no interest, the manager returned to wave me out, I personally will never return. So I give it one star purely because the cafe was open.

Have been coming here on and off for nearly twenty years for two reasons alone: the Rossi burger... A slightly spicy and really delicious burger that had a lovely homemade salsa... And the honeycomb eclair... A choux pastry filled with honeycomb ice cream and topped with crushed nuts and chocolate sauce. Sounding like food heaven to you? Well they have both gone to heaven apparently as the Rossi burger was cancelled from the menu some years ago and then to my absolute horror, the last visit we made a few weeks ago, we discovered that the honeycomb eclair has now been cancelled too! I think this is a travesty. It was a unique dessert that I've never seen anywhere else and it was the solitary reason we choose that cafe for our visits. Sadly, our cafe Rossi days are behind us as everything else we've had there is not worth the special trip for.

Excellent best breakfast in a while

We were not happy with the food. Kind of basic stuff.

Came in a party of 4 plus a baby. Staff were polite but busy having a chat amongst each other. We weren’t offered a beverage upon sitting. No big deal. All of us ordered. The four orders came in good time. I sat waiting…. Yup they forgot about mine. By the time mine arrived, everyone had finished eating. We just waited assuming it would be along shortly. I was feeling uncomfortable and pressured to eat at that point by the time mine came. I couldn’t finish it. Very awkward situation. But anyways, no offer of a discount or anything. To be honest the other plates were very greasy and not very nice to eat. Will we return? Not a chance.

The staff couldn't do enough for us. Place is spotless. Food is delicious. We'll worth the visit

Long time since we been here, cnt say bad word about staff or food always beautifully cook ,served by lovely friendly people, we always eat in this resturant when in ballynahinch, best in the area, see you soon

This a nice, traditional eatery. The staff are very attentive and pleasant. Good food and reasonable prices.

Best food ,amazing staff always lovely and relaxing too much food at great prices, our go to .xx we can never fault it

Good grub! Reasonably priced friendly staff

Been going here for years and it's always reliable. Great food, big portion sizes and good service. Very cheap prices for a restaurant too. Best in Ballynahinch!

Good food and healthy portions. Lovely staff

Good food at reasonable price and good service

Good honest food at a fair price, good service

Lunch for 3. Well presented tasty meals by courteous staff. Good portions. Clean and hygienic premises, pleasantly situated in Ballynahinch town centre. You won't be disappointed with your dining experience here.

Amazing place,clean quick and tasty! Staff are friendly and accommodating. Even have gluten free options which is nice!

Came for a family meal, waited 35 minutes to be served, only got so when asked a waitress. Then waited another 40 minutes for the food. It was in a word dismal, very bland and when you are paying 15 pound for a main course you would expect to be served fresh produce. Vegetables were definitley from the frozen isle in lidl, pure mush - disgusting and the mashed potatoes were like baby food. So disappointing as the food and service used to be first class. Will not be back, dont waste your money!!

Beautiful food great service good value

Staff were friendly and helpful, despite the place being very busy. Food came quickly, was well cooked and tasted great!!

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing covid 19 protection

Really lovely food. Manager lovely man. Definitely be back

First class service and staff are exceptional. Great Menu and food.

Had lunch with my wife and mother in law, I always have the prawn open as it’s old style and delicious , my wife and mum had the all day breakfast which also looked delicious .

Food was tasty and well presented. At this time of year it's good to be able to take 'own wine' to the table. Attentive service. Plenty of space.

Felt safe. Good service food was ok

Lovely food, will be back again

This internally well appointed eating establishment being Cafe Rossi sits where it sits on the pecking order of sit in to eat locations in the Ballynahinch hinterland. A recent input from a visiting patron making comment on all matters sundry----holed below the waterline the overall Tripadvisor input by sleeving in the word "smug"--- one mans meat another mans poison so on & so on. P.C. input Person - Person. Anyway back to the crux of the 17th of October past insertion on Trippy. Yep a steak not provided as specified when ordering can be a walk the plank affair at times of this no question---re eating out in these time its ALL costing too much. Three DOTS awarded fair enough--oh wonder if the wash room facilities in these premises for talks sake got a visit during this visit ? --they are pretty decent. Ah well to each his own.

Heard good things, admittedly the lasagne was alright, onions were a bit big for my liking, hence the 3 stars

Beautiful meals, and very pleasant staff... Highly recommended...

Short wait before being seated. Friendly welcome. Pretty good menu although limited vegetarian options. I went for the panini with mixed peppers and smoked cheese. Tasty and the side salad was really good. Hubby went for chicken and sweetcorn panini. Chicken used seemed to be leg, not breast, and awful texture like it had been reheated in the microwave. Cappucinos were grim. Tasted like machine coffee and we couldn't finish them. No milk alternatives either. Wouldn't recommend sorry.

Cafe Rossi is a wonderful place their fry is fantastic as is all their food the staff are friendly and helpful a restaurant not to be missed

Good lunch, safe environment, good service, recommend it. Victor

Nothing special here, staff were polite but smug, food was low quality, didn't cook steak as requested... Very expensive!

Had meal there this evening. Great food and plenty of it 😋 👍

Decided to try Cafe Rossi this morning for breakfast. My wife had the omelette.....with cheese and mushrooms ..very good and good portion size. I had the mini fry which was very good and filling. Service was quick and efficient.

Delicious food, very generous portions, brilliant value for money and great customer service. Would highly recommend in Ballynahinch.

One if the best places to eat in Ballynahinch, always get a great meal😁

Perfect & not pricey. Breakfast was lovely. Lovely place to stop for a bite to eat. Not to keen on how the milk was presented, a little messy to use.

Three of us had a get together at Cafe Rossi Great table spacing and really felt safe with Covid regulations Good menu choices Big big portions Chicken gougons were yummy and served with salad and criss cross fries... enough for two Great service and we will be back

Good food very clean pleasant service. Portions are good and the kinder Buenos cheesecake was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Hairs in the all day breakfast, middle of a pandemic and just getting back to going out for food only to find hair in it? What else was in the food!? To be fair it was replaced and staff where very apologetic... however I personally will not be back

Myself and 3 friends had tea/dinner on Monday 16th August Great Covid protection Definitely felt safe Service fantastic professional friendly Food lovely but MASSIVE portions to be honest I took most of my chicken gougons (yummy) criss cross fries (fab) home Lovely lovely night Thank...

Wow, food portions are huge, great value, food was pretty darn good, staff were friendly and welcoming and the building, fixtures and fittings were well kept, clean and tidy. All in all a very enjoyable dining out experience with the wife and daughter

Food is great, service was great. Just nothing left me wanting more. Felt pre cooked and not made to order. Other than that i cleared my plate.

Have always enjoyed Rossi. Took friends on Saturday night who hadn’t been before, 2 meals were absolutely excellent and the other two would have been had the chicken, pineapple and banana not been laced with sage. I frequently order Chicken Maryland when dining elsewhere but...

Great meal and service at a great price

Outstanding service, amazing food served quickly and at a great price ,all covid guidance fallowed to the letter,would definitely recommend you try here ,will be back
