Reviews of Il Rosso

Ok, where should I start from? The minute I stepped in with my partner, we were greeted by a smiling and warm team. I have to apologise because I haven’t noted any names. The wine recommendation was spot on, nice bottle of Cabernet to go with my steak which was perfectly cooked! Amazing quality for, I dare to say, little price. £32 for a Cote du Boef rib, mind blown. The service throughout the night was perfect and it felt like we were part of the family. Thank you everyone, will definitely come back! Visited on the 23rd Oct 23.

Frequented il Rosso several times now in recent times and its never failed us, food always on point along with a great service, even during busy times, a little wait on food could be experienced, non the less, good things are worth waiting for! Anyway on this occasion we booked a table for 4 recently for my dad's birthday, unbeknown to these guys -they read our table well, (as it was a low key affair) as after our meal, we could only think was the 'manager' brought over a dressed plate with 'Happy birthday' stenciled on it with a selection of cake with candle to mark his birthday. Great service guys definitely recommended.

The Chicken Supreme with a side of Parmesan Cauliflower Cheese was bliss. The sauce was silky smooth perfect, and full of strong flavour. The chicken was so tasty tender and the skin crispy in a way that makes you drool. The cauliflower cheese was so cheesy! All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. If I became a chef, this is the kind of chef I'd like to be! It was afternoon when I visited and the general hubbub was pleasantly vibrant. Il Rosso is tastefully furnished, modern, comfortable, warm and welcoming. The staff are attentive, smiley, smart and quick to serve. Tables are quickly cleared. The music is just right. Overall, Il Rosso is just plain class!

I highly recommend, the food was amazing, full of flavour and reasonably priced. It definitely feels luxurious but still a relaxed and welcoming environment. To address some negative comments about the parking fines, there are signs all over and even on the menu and all you need to do is enter your reg at the bar. The staff even checked if we had parked and made sure we entered our reg. the service was brilliant and everyone was very attentive. Excellent place to eat.

Great food. The Sunday dinners are fantastic here. It is slow service, but it's worth the wait as it's freshly prepared. If you park in the car park you must register your car at the bar or you will get a fine. The car park is small so you may need to park somewhere else. There are a few disabled parking spaces, and access to the restaurant is suitable for wheelchair users and buggies/prams. There are different seating areas inside for people wishing to dine or just want to have drinks. When it's warm/hot weather, the restaurant would benefit from air conditioning, or if they have it, then it should definitely be put on. There are toilets for all abilities to access.

Service was good and the staff very friendly. Two of us had the roast chicken which was very tasty and well cooked. My friend ordered the lamb which was a little over cooked for their liking but he ate it all without complaining. There is a good selection of food and drink on offer and it's very reasonably priced. We were seated near the bar area which got quite noisy as the evening progressed. Eaten here a few times and always had a decent meal. Aside from table being near the noisy bar we had a good night and I would return.

Visited for an afternoon tea brought for my mum. Was delicious, sandwiches were soft and really tasty, ham and mustard, tuna, cheese and spring onion and egg. A lemon cake which was devine, carrot cake which is my favourite didn't disappoint, a decadent chocolate brownie.. Along with a slightly warmed scone with jam and clotted cream. Strawberries , raspberries and blueberries dotted around the sweet section also. And a lovely pot of fresh tea.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! Beautiful woodburner on, which was a welcome addition on a cold day. The pizza has to be one of the best in Mansfield, incredible base, sauce and cooked perfectly with the most incredible garlic dip. My husband had ribs and said they were fantastic quality and tasted beautiful. Portions were good sizes. Place was clean, quiet and cozy. Service was good. Thank you so much! We will be back!

We came today for Sunday lunch and it was beautiful. They do smaller plates so I didn’t waste too much. We had a bruschetta and a pilpil to start and 3 lamb and 1 chicken dinner (3 small, one normal sized) and they were all fantastic. Even my step dad loved it and had no complaints and he moans just for the joys of moaning 🤣 We had 2 strawberry and passion fruit pavlova for dessert and OH. MY. GOD. it was SO good. It wasn’t cheap but definitely worth it. It came to around £115 and that included a bottle of rosé (£19) and a pint of beer and the compulsory 8% service charge.

Poor. Visited Il rosso on the 14.09.2009 and was very disapointed with both the food and service.<br/><br/>The description of the starters was completely off. We had flat cap mushrooms with melted dolcelatta, there was no melted dolcelatta or even any taste of dolcelatta...when asked where it was they said it was mixed in with the bread crumbs and then ceased to ignore us and just take our plates away without asking how it was.<br/><br/>Next the Mains where delivered without us being present at the table and to the wrong seats. We were only aked if we wanted balsamic dressing and no other condiments. I asked for vinegar and it came in a little pot (bizarre) and with no way of applying it to my food...luckily a spoon was going begging. My main was fine but my friend had a goats cheese salad served in a warm bowl and brown lettuce...very nice. The waitresses kept managing to miss our eye contact but they finally came and took it away and said they would remove it from the bill, they didn't ask if she wanted a replacement. <br/><br/>I asked for the bill, when it came I asked for the 8% gratuity to be removed...she advised me she already had thus admitting I feel to poor food and service.<br/><br/>I told them I was disapointed with the food etc and they weren't bothered one bit...lovely I thought, will never recommend to anyone
