Rossoblu, the most highly anticipated restaurant to open in Los Angeles in 2017, was honored with Michelin’s 2019 Bib Gourmand award. In his ï¬Ânal listing of Los Angeles’ 101 best restaurants, Jonathan Gold named Rossoblu one of the city’s ten best restaurants.  Rossoblu is a shining gem with a vibrant setting, outstanding cuisine, and a really cool vibe…all the ingredients for an amazing night out.

Dinner with Wine Pairings at Rossoblu

Dine at ROSSOBLU where award-winning Chef Steve Samson prepares you a personalized 4-course Italian dinner. You'll start with a light bite, then enjoy an alluring appetizer, a small sampling of the chef's handmade pasta, a hearty protein from the wood-fire grill and finish with a traditional dessert. Sample some of the best flavors of Northern Italy with wine pairings for each course. You’ll be greeted with a special sparkling wine to toast and celebrate the evening, and a deeply personal tour through their Bolognese cuisine.  

 About Chef Steve Samson

Rossoblu tells the story of the two places chef Steve Samson considers home: Los Angeles and Bologna. This is an homage to Samson’s heritage, inspired by childhood memories of summers spent in Bologna and its surrounding region, Emilia Romagna. After graduating from New York’s Institute of Culinary Education, Samson worked at various Michelin-starred restaurants throughout Italy before returning to Southern California in 2009, where he opened the award-winning Pizzeria Ortica in Orange County. In 2011, Samson opened Sotto in Los Angeles, which earned immediate acclaim as Los Angeles Magazine’s #1 Best New Restaurant and one of Esquire Magazine’s Best New Restaurants in America.
