A lovely little restaurant, a good menu and delicious food and at a reasonable price. I would recommend it to all.

Met with my best friend for a meal to celebrate my birthday and booked a table for early evening. We were made to feel very welcome and shown to a nice table near the back of the restaurant. Although it was only 6pm, within the hour, most of the tables were taken. You can bring your own wine for a small corkage fee. The menu choice is really good without being overwhelming, ranging from pasta and pizza to fish and steak. The prices are also very reasonable. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We shared a starter, then I had a risotto and my friend had a lasagne. We also decided to have a dessert and again, the choice was really good and there was something for every dietary requirement. Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant but would suggest booking a table in advance.

As a visitor to the lovely village of Wood house, my sister and I decided to go and try the famous Rossini restaurant (my sis had already eaten there previously). We were given a wonderful welcome by Dan and Gabbi, who were pleasant, informative and timely with the service, the restaurant is very clean, spacious seating (although the actual size is petite, we didn't feel cramped), the room is adequately lit with soft background music, the energy in the room was good. The prices are reasonable and the menu choice was enough and varied (I'm not one who likes too much on a menu). Now for the 'La parte migliore dell'esperienza' (best part of the experience)... The food was delicious, it was hot, seasoned, tasty and came as ordered, cooked with the intention to please, and it did!, generous amounts, well worth the money. We were warned about the hot crockery and we are thankful, who wants to burn themselves?.... Exactly (thanks Dan and Gabbi). The whole experience was a definite positive and we will be visiting again and we highly recommend you go and see for yourself...

Food was amazing, let down by the lack of management and poor training of the young staff. We was a party of 8 dining at 8pm. The young waiter/waitresses were rude and didn’t want to do anything except gossip and play with their hair. We had to ask to be served drinks/order food numerous times. If it wasn’t for the amazing food I would of got up and left as they made us feel very uncomfortable. They made very snarky remarks if we tried to make a joke. Won’t be returning unless an actual manager over the age of 16 is present.

We visited here a few years ago and had such a lovely time that my step dad decided he would like to revisit for his birthday meal this year. We were a party of 15. Last time we attended it was a bring your own drink policy without any specification as to what you were allowed to bring. So, we all brought our own drinks with us - wine, gin, soft drink and beer. When we arrived a couple of our party opened their drink (gin and a beer) and were very rudely told “you can’t drink that in here.” When questioned about the bring your own drink policy they were told that it’s now only wine and Prosecco that you’re able to bring. I have no issue with the information we were given but the tone was unbelievably rude and totally unnecessary. If we’d have been told “I’m really sorry but the policy has changed etc…” then hair enough, but there was no nicety about it. Nonetheless, as the drink had been opened, my step dad was told that he could finish that drink and then buy any further ones, which seemed fine. The lady who opened the gin said she would buy a lemonade to be able to drink the drink she’d poured and then again, buy any future alcoholic drinks. Within a few minutes another member of staff came over and said to my step dad, “you’ve already been told you can’t drink that in here.” My step dad explained that he had been told he could finish his drink (that he’d poured), but if the waiter wanted to take the rest of the can away, he could, which he did. The rest of the evening felt somewhat awkward. At times we knew we were being watched to make sure we weren’t drinking anymore of our own drinks (fair enough). But generally the customer service was poor - I’d go as far to say probably the worst I have ever experienced. When meals were brought out the attitude of staff was abrasive “don’t touch the top of that it’s hot” and when placing someone’s meal on the table who sat at the other side, instructing one of the party “you’ll have to slide that over.” There was nothing pleasant about the demeanour of the staff at all. On asking for the bill, 50p had been added as a cost of my step dad opening his own beer. When this was questioned we were told that the policy had changed so they had to charge him for it. There was no information online to state that the policy had changed, or to specify what you can and cannot bring (there was also nothing mentioned in communications with the restaurant during our preorder) and the menu online was out of date. The food was absolutely beautiful but the rest of it ruined what should have been a lovely evening and we would absolutely not return. The only reason I haven’t given it 1 out of 5 is because the food was lovely.

My first time eating at Rossini, all I can say is they have a new regular , food was really fresh and the flavours were amazing. Price was spot on . Bit disappointed at the size of the drinks for £2.50 was expecting a large glass of lemonade but only got a small tumbler. Waiting Staff are really young so lacked enthusiasm but did okay . Also I was told on the phone when I booked that the seafood platter was available, when I tried to order it I was told it’s not on the menu anymore. Not the end of the world but I was really looking forward to a mountain of seafood, really hope it’s back in the menu againParking: Parked in Morrisons and walked . Only took 5 minutes max
