Rossi
/Nestled in the heart of Prahran’s vibrant dining scene, Rossi seamlessly transitions from a cosy Italian restaurant to a lively bar as the evening unfolds. With its exposed brick walls and the DJ spinning tracks, Rossi exudes an inviting ambiance that draws in patrons for a spirited night out.
One of the standout experiences at Rossi is the Nonna's Selection menu, a $75 per person culinary journey that embodies the essence of traditional Italian hospitality. This menu not only feeds you well but also offers a delightful variety of flavours that transport you straight to the heart of Italy.
The journey begins with Burrata, a creamy delight paired with a tangy tomato coulis, marinated cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of basil oil. Next, the San Daniele Prosciutto arrives, accompanied by fragrant rosemary focaccia.
The pasta course features a white duck ragu with casarecce, topped with crispy speck and a generous sprinkling of pecorino. The ragu is rich and hearty, the duck tender and flavourful, and the pecorino adds a sharp, salty note.
The pizza offering, the Prawn Nerano, is a standout creation. Named after a picturesque village on Italy's Sorrento peninsula, this pizza features a unique blend of zucchini cream, smoked bufala mozzarella, prawns, basil, and fried zucchini.
Finally, the meal concludes with a classic Italian dessert: Tiramisu served directly from a giant bowl at the table. The layers of espresso-soaked savoiardi, luscious mascarpone, and a dusting of cocoa create are a sweet and satisfying end to the dining experience.
Whether you're there for a relaxed dinner or to join the vibrant nightlife as the evening progresses, Rossi promises an enjoyable visit that will leave you craving more.
