Rosso Italian is an Italian Restaurant located in downtown Phoenix Arizona. This restaurant is a new addition to the Pomo Restaurant Group. They offer a nice modern atmosphere and indoor-outdoor bar area that is dog friendly.

The dining area is a mix of traditional tables and booths.

On the current menu are appetizers like meatball pizzaola, bruschetta trio, creamy polenta short rib. They also offer salads and soup, hand made pastas, Pomo pizzas, and three entrees that were – grilled salmon, roasted chicken, and pork chop Milanese.

We started out by sharing the beet salad.

It contained red and gold beets (some red ones are chips), romaine, frisee, little dots of whipped goat cheese, radicchio, pistachios, citrus vinaigrette.

We also shared the spaghetti cacio and pepe.

It’s made with five varieties of roasted peppercorns and pecorino Romano cheese. Each bite does taste different. Some bites for sensitive people might contain too much pepper.

I tried the grilled wild salmon.

It came with grilled romanesco and fregola sardo. It was slightly over cooked. Both the server and manager offered a replacement.

My husband tried the pork chop Milanese.

It was a breaded pounded pork chop with mixed greens, a grilled orange wedge and citrus vinaigrette.

I was too full for dessert but I did want to see the dessert menu.

They probably offer desserts but our server was the type that didn’t want to sell any. Perhaps you will get a different server.
