Best Date Night Restaurants in Victorian Village

I will always choose the Rossi for a nice dinner out in the Short North! The food, drinks and service is incredible!

The service was amazing. We were well taken care of. The food was good! We got the Wagyu sliders, the calamari, the lamb meatballs, the shrimp egg rolls, the lobster tacos, and the octopus. The lobster tacos were absolutely amazing! The lamb meatballs were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious and had a bit of cumin in it. You can’t go wrong with the sliders, but the calamari was fine. There wasn’t anything exceptional about the calamari… nothing bad but just the same as you’d get anywhere. The octopus was not good. It seemed overcooked and the mix of flavors just didn’t do it for us. We had a bite each and sent it back and they took it off of the bill. We fully expected to pay because we ordered it and just didn’t like the flavor, so it was nice they didn’t charge us. The cocktails were great as well as the service. Everything was hot and fresh and we got a free chocolate cake for a birthday. No complaints for the overall experience. We will definitely be back to try the countless other menus items! There’s definitely something for everyone.

Slow night due to weather. Arrived at 7 and sat quickly. Brussels sprouts are a favorite for an appetizer! We had the chicken sliders and the salmon, Delicious! Skip desert but Malbec wine was spot on as was the Assistant Manager NA Beer. Thanks to the kitchen and staff for a nice night out.

Small restaurant which lends itself to be noisier than you might like at dinner. Service was ok. Had to constantly ask for water. Food was very good.

The food and drinks are really good and the service is lovely. The prices are a bit on the high side, but not unreasonable. Definitely recommend, but be aware that it is very loud - the volume of the music and/or TVs are nearly dance club level - not a great place to go if you want to be able to converse within your group, but otherwise a fun spot for a good drink.
