Rossini Italian Restaurant in Bradford

We had pre booked as a group of 15 and experienced very poor service. We started to arrive and were left waiting in the entrance for a while before anyone even acknowledged us. During the whole meal we were never asked if we would like drinks and ended up having to keep going up and down to the bar whenever we wanted one. After been seated around an hour, noone had been to take our food order either so we had to stop one of the waiters to ask if we can order. By the time we eventually got our food we’d been sat at the table for an hour and 35 minutes. The food was ok, but one of our orders was wrong. One of our party requested condiments and the waiter was very rude to her, asking what does she mean, saying they are Italian so don’t do condiments - but then brought some mayo to her! When the incorrect order was brought back, the waiter was clearly annoyed and picked up our friends phone and moved it to put the plate down. When we came to pay, they tried to charge me for the wrong item, when me and a friend reiterated what I had, he was rude and actually chucked the receipt. Definitely won’t be coming back! What a waste of time that was! Horrible customer service!

OMG. What a place to dine! We stumbled upon this restaurant after being unable to get a table in the local Indian. Never liked like being disappointed. The friendly staff, the very large portions, the tasty food... what more was there. Oh, nearly forgot, the wine was wonderful too. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself

First visit to this restaurant, I have driven past it many times and never really took much notice of it as outside looks quite bland, it was only when looking for a restaurant for our wedding anniversary and saw pictures of the inside on their website that I would give it a go. Inside is so much different it is a lovely casual, nicely decorated space with a bar area where you can sit and wait or have a pre-dinner drink. We were shown to our table straight away, there were 4 wait staff and 3 chefs that I could see, it was a Friday night so I presume they were expecting a busy evening. The menu had lots of things to choose from, we choose a prawn cocktail, mezzo platter to start and a chicken in mushroom sauce with veg and chicken & mushroom risotto with a side of courgette fries. The food was really good, it has been a while since I have had such nice food in a restaurant, the staff were attentive without hovering and the food as it was freshly cooked took time but not excessively and as we were talking and the atmosphere was nice, background music that was not too loud the time passed without realising you were waiting. There was a variety of people dining from couples, friends & families which showed it is a popular place to dine. It cost over £70 with a few soft drinks, so not cheap but definitely worth going and I would recommend dining there.

Unfortunately this restaurant has gone downhill in the last 6 months. You can see and taste that they’re trying to cut costs which is understandable but the service is sadly lacking also. Hurried, abrupt table service, forgetting to bring drinks over, no steak knife for steak and when asked it was almost slid across the table towards me rather than placed down. When I paid at the till and partner went to bathroom then came back and stood next to me waiting for transaction to complete the gentleman asked if he could help him, did he have a booking, despite us being served by the same gentleman for the last 90 minutes. Absolutely zero regard for customers now, extremely disappointed.

Recently booked the whole restaurant out for our daughter's wedding breakfast. Not something that generally they do probably but we visit as a family and the bride and groom wanted a casual vibe and to support local businesses that we knew. The team didn't disappoint! Food was amazing (as always!), wine was delicious (house), staff were attentive, efficient and professional. Alfonso and Tony were leading on the day and achieved a service which was relaxed and friendly. Super pleased, family snd friends all very impressed - thanks again all.

This is now my second visit to Rossini and again did not disappoint ! Lovely atmosphere and the food was beautiful! The best flavours in a linguine I’ve ever had! 5* doesn’t do you justice! Will be back again

First time at Rossini, four of us for a birthday. Two of us turned up first. Person behind the bar didn't acknowledge us, we were stood there a few minutes, then he asked us what we wanted. I said we had a table booked, he didnt say anything. Seemed a bit miserable. A couple of minutes later someone else came, & showed us to our table. Five minutes later he returned to take our drinks order, we'd just about said what drinks we'd like when the rest of our table arrived so we asked him to wait a second so they could say what they'd like too; he said nothing & walked off. We had to call someone over so they could order their drinks. Lovely starters, although no butter with the pate, & not enough toast (over-crispy) for the decent amount of pate, but tasted lovely. They kindly modified one dish slightly, which suggests the food is fresh & cooked to order; great to know. Slightly odd that mains don't come with vegetables, so the plate was quite empty looking. Nice atmosphere, background music was at a perfect level, customers were chatting, it was a really pleasant volume throughout. Clean & nicely presented restaurant. Prices were reasonable too. The staff all seemed a little miserable, we didn't see any smiles or interaction with customers, not even a "thank you" after taking an order, or an "of course, no problem" when someone asked for something. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant, we will go again, hopefully regularly, but I would like to see the staff have more positivity & happy friendliness, some personality. Felt like they needed a shake to wake up. Then it would be a hundred times better.

We visited Rossini on a busy Saturday night when the restaurant was quite busy. The decor and ambience is lovely and our overall experience was excellent. My friend needed gluten free options and our waiter Lorenzo was amazing ensuring her food was right for her dietary requirements. He was also very friendly and couldn't do enough to ensure our visit was perfect. All the food was delicious and we would definitely recommend Rossini to anyone. Thank you again Lorenzo you were a star.

Great Italian restaurant. Fabulous food, friendly, attentive staff, very smart too. Enjoyed it so much the first night we went back the next. Would definitely recommend.

Our 2nd visit here and it did not disappoint. The staff are very friendly but not over fussy and look very smart. The food was delicious and not over priced. Asked for zucchini’ as it wasn’t on the menu and the waitress returned to say there wasn’t a problem making it and it was perfect. The sea bream was cooked perfectly also. Lovely atmosphere and we can’t wait to return! Well done

Great food and service. Five of us ate together and all really enjoyed good and atmosphere. Good service too.

Service was terrible . Sat down at 7.45 pm and waited 1/2 hour before our starters arrived . Asked for my bread and got told don’t think I am allowed by the waitress . Once our starter plates were taken away waited 3/4 hour before main course arrived . Calzone pizza hardly had any filling and lasgne was Rick hard on top . Won’t be be going back ad would t recommend to anyone anytime soon . Very disappointing

We visited on a weekday evening and had the great value two course deal. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was great.

The Rossini was recommended by the hotel staff at the Abbey Lodge Hotel, and we found the food and service to be very good. So good, in fact, that we went back again and didn't regret the decision.

We have always really enjoyed going here since it has opened. We had even taken family and friends with us previously too. The food was nice but on this occasion the service was terrible and has put us off going again. We had two courses which cost us £60 no alcoholic drinks. The starter came out ok but they had put cheese on my pizza bread that I didn’t ask for and charged me for it. … I then asked to take half of it home as I wouldn’t be able to eat it all plus my main- this never came back out to us in a box. The second course then took a further 40 minutes to come out and it wasn’t overly busy. When I ordered fries with my main instead of vegetables the young server said he wasn’t sure if they could do that and never came back to confirm. I then had to chase myself for an answer before they brought it out. We were never asked if the food was ok or if we would like another drink. So I was left thirsty during my main. Won’t be looking to go back.

We’ve previously enjoyed our visits to Rossini, it isn’t the greatest Italian but the food has been nice and it’s an attractive restaurant. Our last visit was so disappointing in comparison. Mistakes were made with the food order and the food was bland. The lasagne was particularly tasteless. Rossini usually bring bread at the start of the meal but this wasn’t provided - possibly because we were a larger party? The waiting staff are good, the issues seem to be in the kitchen. I doubt we’ll return after this last experience.

Excellent food - we all enjoyed each of our courses. The pizzas were remarkable - with fior di latte cheese, like in Italy! Not cheap, but very good.

Worst meal in a long time. Avoid at all costs. 8 of us, family meal. Nof one of us enjoyed. Overpriced school dinners

A pleasant place to go, everyone enjoyed the night out and their meal other than mine, don't have the spaghetti it was poor.

The service was very good, the food excellent. Would absolutely recommend it but ..... 9.30 on a Thursday evening and the staff attitude was that we had outstayed our welcome. the welcoming atmosphere at 7.30 had gone by 9.30. The staff obviously couldn't wait to get home. Still scored it a 4 because of the table service and the quality of the food.

We had a fabulous time on Saturday night. 6 adults plus my 1 year old daughter. They staff were so accommodating to our little one. Food was soooo good. Everyone enjoyed what the had and the portion sizes were very generous. To say we went at 5.30, the place was busy but service was still great. Good prices too. We will definitely be back

We visited at 5-45 on a Saturday to find the restaurant quite busy and noisy, lots of children (no that was not Rossinis fault),unable to hear any music. We were shown to our table on entering straight away. Then 15 minutes later we were asked if we would like a drink,which arrived quickly. Then another 15 minutes later asked if we were ready to order. The tastless garlic pizza bread arrived another 20 mins later not very well cooked. My partners Spaghetti Carbonara the meat was overcooked and tough and only a few mushrooms. My Calzone was lots of base around the edge which when removed i was left the size of a small cornish pasty. The inside had lots of cheese but very little of anything else the sauce topping tasted like cold Heinz soup. There was lots of very young staff standing around (the entertainment was watching a girl blowing bubbles with her gum).

Great service, great food. Pizza is really good as was the mushroom risotto. Very reasonably priced.

5th visit? I better leave a review? Fantastic food fantastic service ! So pleased this place opened? We were devastated when datatinos closed! But so happy someone has taken the spot and continues to serve excellent Italy foods? Well done staff !so happy now!

We have started visiting this restaurant and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.Alongside typical Italian food there are some more unusual dishes such as cod with lentils. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. The prices are very reasonable and I would 100% recommend a visit.

My Calzone was Small ,undercooked,and cold , I told the waiter, he not only didn't reply He did nothing......how on earth does an Italian restaurant get something so basic so wrong?

This is now the second time we have visited and it was superb, on a Thursday night the restaurant was buzzing which is great to see, attentive staff who acknowledged us straight away showed us to our table and promptly came back to take our...

I used to come here when it was Da tonino’s and i loved it. I love it even more now. The restaurant is modern, the food delicious and the service is good.

We had an amazing first meal in the restaurant last night after enjoying a number of take aways over lockdown. The atmosphere was great, the staff are lovely and the food is delicious!

First time here since the closure of the legendary da Tonino. Huge improvement in the layout, decor, service and, most important, food. Excellent and highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal here, the service was friendly and efficient and the food quality was top notch. Portions were ample. Well worth a visit.

Visiting our old haunts called in this lovely restaurant enjoyed a great meal with excellent service would definitely recommend.

I don't often write review, but went here last night, for a meal. It uses to be a place called dataninos. That had been there for a very long time. I thought the food dataninos did was great. Rosinis thought. They have made the place...

After reading the reviews, we decided to give Rossini a try. Very quick and easy to order over the phone. Our order was ready at the time agreed. Restaurant is fully compliance with coronavirus measures. Pizzas are thin and delicious. We will repeat for sure!

Delightfully surprised by our lockdown takeway meal for our 31st Wedding Anniversary. Our Mains we really enjoyed were the char-roasted aubergine in my wife’s Tagliatelle Campagnola and I, the perfectly cooked very tender fillet strips of lean beef of the Straccetti Di Manzo. Delizioso!!

We had been going to Da Tonio’s for the last 30 years, and, wanted to see what this new restaurant was like after taking over the location. Firstly, booking online was very easy, and, website easy to navigate. It’s funny that in these strange times,...
