Testimonials

On 5/3/2026 Thomas Bowen had this to say:
I got a recommendation from a tennis partner so the four of us have this restaurant a try. This is a smaller family run Italian in New Port Richey. The service was impeccable as was the food. My buddy and I had sausages and peppers over spaghetti. It was so hot it was still steaming several minutes later. It was delicious! Lots of Italian choices on the menu.

On 5/3/2026 Stanley Athan had this to say:

We tried Rossi's this evening with the new ownership. We have been going here for the past 20 years. Our server Vic was amazing, and we had no complaints about our meal. If you are looking for a great pizza or Italian meal this is the place. Testimonial written by Kathy on this site.
