THE GET DOWN
All I have to say is that when you see an item on an Italian menu that says “NONNA’s” anything, order it! (Or is this my roots talking here?) Beef, pork and not too much tomato sauce, JUST like it says on the menu at Rossoblu.They were so right!
Pasta perfection is what you will find here, indeed. Sooo light and fluffy, like handmade pasta should be. In fact, Rossoblu is perfection on ALL levels. I recommend starting with the eggplant appetizer since it’s on the lighter side. Before moving to the heavy artillery…
Pasta! The papparedelle with sausage ragu and broccoli is a nice compliment to the Bolognese. Between the pastas, salad and meatballs, who has room left for anything else? Part of Rossoblu’s charm, aside from the food, is the location.
Rossoblu is located in a new development area of DTLA. Its industrial setting feels like a movie set, both inside and out.
Rossoblu is a bustling scene once service gets going. Ask to sit in an area with a small couch banquette if your dining with your tots. This way they can have some autonomy at the table.
If you’re coming with a runner, then you are in LUCK! Not only does Rossoblu have a large open patio, but there’s a bocci ball court right next door and plenty of sidewalk area to run around.
Bring a few people to dine with. Not only will you be able to taste more, but if your tot wants to run outside to play, you can eat in shifts, right? Gulp. You will be happy you gave Rossoblu a try.

For those with little
runners & screamers:
Easily forgiven:
Here, you can forget the fact that it’s your rambunctious child that’s screaming and STILL enjoy most of your meal.
Not promoted, but you should take the chance:
If your toddler is at the stage when an iPad or some other colorful distraction can be used for an un-interrupted 20 minutes, then go for it.
Uh-uh, NO WAY, don’t even think about it!:
I don’t care how cute your toddler is. Pop your head in… turn around… walk away. PERIOD.
No contained area:
A place you cannot leave your toddler alone, not even for a second.
Enclosed, but space is tight:
If YOU can’t fit between the tables then you know you couldn’t catch your toddler if they tried – this isn’t Norm’s.
