Here is what the The Nation newspaper had to say about Rossano’s in a recent article.

After 30 years he sold his well-loved L’Opera and planned to retire to his home in Bang Saray, but now, three years later, he’s found he’s just not ready to stay at home.

Gennari Rossano has returned to Bangkok to open a new restaurant, a lovely little house close to the junction where Sukhumvit Soi 19 has veered to the right to meet Soi Asoke.

He’s designed it, he says, to have a look and ambience that’s as different from L’Opera as possible. Here is a Tuscan-style country house, light and airy, pastoral and home-like, with bricks and plaster on the walls and intricate tiling on the risers of the stairs leading to the upper floor.

The restaurant, which seats close to 80, also has two private dining rooms seating from 12 to 14.

To ensure success, Rossano has brought in his “top guns”.

Managing director Alessandro Gregoris, a former manager of L’Opera, is already well known to the dining public as manager of the Italian restaurant Mabeba.

Chef Pinna Achille has been seconded from his family hotel on a small island southwest of Sardinia. His father built the establishment more than half a century ago, and although it’s small - only 16 rooms -Achille had developed a reputation for his regional cuisine.

Among Rossano, Gregoris and Achille, Rossano’s has a menu that not only covers the basics but offers something more.

Yes, there’s a Caesar salad (Bt320), a non-Italian dish that Bangkok diners expect every Italian restaurant to offer, but Achille also puts in lobster, sea crab and avocado, just to make it distinctive.

The pasta is homemade, with the exception of the spaghetti, which is imported. The grill is special, with volcanic stones providing the heat source.

Achille’s special talent lies in his sauces. Each one, with its own flavour and consistency, complements the dish and brings all the elements together. The pan-fried snowfish (Bt550), for instance, comes with a delicate but still zingy prosecco sauce.

The snowfish, by the way, is not on the a la carte menu but the Chef’s Special Menu, which is changed from time to time. Here you’ll also find other elegant dishes, such as the grilled Australian veal chop (Bt680) in a sauce of chanterelle mushrooms and marsala, and ravioli stuffed with beef and Italian sausage (Bt320), served in a butter sauce and topped with a truffle sauce.

At Rossano’s, only Italian wine is available, by the glass Bt180 to Bt415. That’s the “normal list”, Rossano points out. There’s also a “connoisseur’s list” for those wishing to make an evening of it.

“Parking is no problem,” says Rossano. A lot for close to 50 cars is in front of the restaurant, and right across the street is Ocean Tower 2 with additional space.

We recently received a review of our restaurant by TTOasia magazine. Here is what they had to say.

Gennari Rossano is the Don of Bangkok’s  Italian restauranteurs. Formerly the owner of L’Opera, an Italian restaurant on Sukhumvit soi 39 that was one of the first of the city’s Italian dining spots, he retired a couple of years back to relax and follow other pursuits. Gennari became bored with retired life and has now opened a new restaurant on Asoke soi 3 just opposite the Ocean Tower Building on soi Asoke

Rossano’s is located in a converted stand alone building with lots of parking out front. Patrons enter into a wine bar area that is suitable for an aperitif or as a place to drink wine and enjoy tapas like snacks. The restaurant is decorated to represent an Italian style tavern. It is pleasant and a refreshing change from the minimalist modern interiors possessed by almost every new restaurant in the city.

As was the case at L’Opera, Gennari has taken care to surround himself with an excellent and experienced staff. His Chef is Pinna Achille, a 40 year old Sardinian with loads of experience. The restaurant manager is Alessandro Gregoris, a knowledgeable and personable man who has the knack of making everyone feel welcome.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this restaurant is its business-like feel. This is a place without a lot of frills and is obviously for people who like good food. We were quickly guided to our seats and given leather-bound menus. Moments later I was sipping on an excellent B180 house red wine.

After considerable discussion, we started with a generous platter of anti pasti that included imported Italian ham and melon and some delicious crostini. For a pasta, we enjoyed fetuccini with a wild boar sauce. For a main course I had a lamb stew with mashed potatoes and my companion had veal Osso Bucco with a rich and heavy sauce. All of the food had that authentic and rustic Italian taste that is often missing in some of the city’s other Italian dining spots. The presentations were refreshingly simple in keeping with the style of food. I wasn’t left wondering how long someone’s fingers had been fiddling with my food to make it look pretty. For dessert we had rich and filling renditions of Tiramisu and Chocolate Mouse.

The wine list at Rossano’s has over 180 all Italian labels with prices beginning at B850 and ranging up to a stratospheric B20,000 and above. In short, there is something for everyone; corkage is only B350 for those who bring their own wine.

This is an excellent restaurant that is destined to give the city’s other Italian dining spots a run for their money.
