ROSSO
Owned by Manchester United
legend Rio Ferdinand, Rosso is
a fine Italian restaurant located
in well-heeled King Street.
Situated in an impressive
Grade II listed Victorian
building, Rosso isn’t your run-
of-the-mill Italian eatery. The
high ceilings, marble columns
and ornate plasterwork ensure
that the decor is every bit as
memorable as the food. The
first thing you’ll be struck by
upon taking a seat at Rosso’s
bar is its exhaustive drinks
list. Whatever your tipple – be
it beer, wines, champagne or
spirits – there are countless
ways to quench your thirst.
An extensive wine list is also
available, with Italian reds
and whites naturally featuring
heavily. Complement your meal
with a rich, fruity red, then sit
back and savour the lavishness
of your surroundings. To the
food, then. Italian favourites
rub shoulders with more
contemporary creations on a
menu that offers good value
for money. While starters
include classic bruschetta and
filoncino, the mains comprise a
selection of homemade pastas
and delicious fish dishes. If
you’re dining between Sunday
and Thursday, you can enjoy
live swing and jazz music
from 7:30pm. Good food, top
drinks and an exceptional
atmosphere: what more could
you ask for? Nice one, Rio.
