There are so many reasons why I adore Bar Rosso, that I honestly don't know where to begin. The ambiance is simply amazing. It's rustic, chic and warm, all at the same time. Whenever I walk in, I'm greeted by smiles from all of the staff and enveloped in the warmth of the fire from the brick oven in the back, the high ceilings, tiny retro lights in over sized glass vases or what could even be enormous decanters, the second floor, framed by a black wrought iron railing, brick walls, fantastic artwork & photographs, always freshly changed out & a larger than life television screen with the current important sporting event or cooking show on food network to whet your appetite. And, THAT'S just the ambiance.
The food, oh, the food. Tuna Tartare. Beef Carpaccio. The Wood Fired Pizza's. The Charcuterie Boards. The Bar Rosso Burger. My favorite of all has to be the Truffle Fries; they are absolute heaven and can be paired with any cocktail, beer or glass of wine. The saltiness, the sultry earthiness of the truffle, the crisp exterior and soft interior; they're simply to die for. The cocktails & wine selection are fab. The service is excellent. The most exciting thing of all is that they have a Happy Hour, Monday through Friday, from 4-7 pm, which means I can get "said fries" for FIVE DOLLARS!!! How lucky can one girl be?! :)
Bar Rosso is at 30 Spring Street, Stamford, CT 06901. Great for friends, family and even alone time. :)
