Rossoblu is a charming Italian spot in DTLA serving up Steve Samson’s Bolognese-inspired cuisine, featuring handmade pastas and an impressive wine list in a beautifully inviting setting.
"Steve and Dina Samson crafted an industrial masterpiece in the Fashion District, a high-ceiling space with hanging lamps, an artful mural, and a gold-painted bar. Chef Steve Samson leans on food from Bologna, like tortellini and minestra del sacco (parmesan dumplings) in brodo poured from porcelain pots tableside — plus some of the finest handmade pasta in town. The grilled pork chop and branzino showcase the kitchen’s wood grill. Rossoblu remains a star in Los Angeles’s oft-crowded Italian restaurant scene, and as a bonus tables aren’t too difficult given the large venue." - Matthew Kang, Eater Staff
"An Italian restaurant in Downtown LA, offering a menu inspired by Emilia-Romagna with simple, quality ingredients." - Kevin Chau
"Both Rossoblu and Superfine Pizza in Downtown are experiencing significant drops in business, with Rossoblu at one-third and Superfine Pizza at a quarter of usual business." - Eater Staff
"Steve Samson’s Pizza Happy Hour runs daily from 5 to 6 p.m. at the bar with a choice of $7 beer, $15 pizza, and $12 classic cocktails that can include spritzes, Negroni, martini, Manhattan, or mojitos. Bites are priced between $6 and $14, with $5 mocktails and $12 glasses of wine." - Eater Staff
"Steve and Dina Samson’s enduring Northern Italian restaurant continues to prepare some of the best, well-rounded cooking in the city. Rustic wood-fired dishes complement the incredible handmade pasta like the lobster risotto with mascarpone and English peas. It’s all served inside one of the most impressive high-ceiling dining rooms in the city." - Eater Staff
