There is dinning, going out for a bite, then there is "Rossini's", an experience. What's to say, or Whats NOT to say about experiencing the REAL flavors, and most importantly, the REAL emotions, warmth and REAL friendliness you receive once you walk in the door of this marvelously dedicated, home style traditional family owned Italian bistro, nestled among the historical buildings of Glenfierrie Road in Malven , Victoria(Melbourne) Au.

As Americans, we lack this type of REAL dining experience when visiting what others boost to say, "traditional" flavors in dining. These people are the REAL THING, the menu is full of home recipes that the owners themselves created, or documented from their family members before relocating to Australia from Italy over 60 years ago, talk about credentials.

Everything is the freshness that local growers can provide, you will not find anything wrapped and suffocating in plastic and shrunk-wrapped "for freshness", their ingredients are alive an breathing right up until it reaches your table, especially any of the seafood items.

Take my comments for its value, while living in Melbourne, my wife and I dinned in the front corner window EVERY Friday evening for three (3) years , standing reservations at 7:30 PM, the menu while not extensive, it shouldn't be, its the experience, NOT an "Olive Garden", changes with homemade specials, reservations are suggested, private parties are welcomed, especially family events, we saw so many "happy birthday's" and other events taking place, its a REAL location to begin that family tradition that your children will look forward to take with them in their future.

We will be visiting Melbourne in March 2017, and I have to ensure I diet extensively beforehand , since I'm looking forward to re-kindling my appetite and especially re-booking my Friday evening reservations well enough in advance, and making sure I do not embarrass myself , remember, this is the front window table. "Bonn-Appetite".

We had a great dinner at Rossini. It is kid friendly and the pizza & pasta were excellent. They have good old fashioned service, feels like a family business that has been there a long time. It gets very busy, so we always book ahead.

Rossini is a great little Italian Restaurant with great food. We had dinner with some friends and all of our kids, I think it was family hour because there were kids at every table. The decor in the front section slightly lets this place down but the food makes up for it. The meals are slightly on the expensive side but Pizza's are good value.
