Rossetti Restaurant

Great food and great service with the industrial ambience I’ve come to love about Lynn.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The owner/​chef came out to greet the diners at each table. Would definitely recommend to others.

We eat out almost every Saturday night. We have not had this great service and food in a very long time. The place is beautiful. The waitstaff was very attentive. The food was delicious and fair price. We will go back!

Rossetti’s is a real gem. Located in downtown Lynn – it’s urban and modern vibe coupled with its exquisite menu is a welcome treat in the Sin City. Service was great and the whole atmosphere rocks a perfect departure from what one might expect from a Lynn establishment. The lobster ravioli and the haddock with shrimp ravioli is totally worth coming back for. This is now my new favorite place for dinner.

Second time coming here;
Amazing Cosmo and a really delicious main entrée and dessert.
My boyfriend just wished his portion was slightly larger for the price it was. Oh well!
We both commented on the high level of customer service offered here. Very attentive. Both times our server was extremely helpful and eager to make our dinner fabulous.
Will come back!

I don’t think I’ve ever given a restaurant five-​stars, but this place deserves every one of them!
Everything was made to order with the freshest ingredients — all delicious and generously portioned: The eggplant appetizer was melt in your mouth delicious; the Caesar salad was crisp and cold with fresh shaved cheese and homemade croutons; the lobster ravioli was in a sherry cream sauce and both were out of this world delicious; the grilled chicken Braciolettini was served in a white wine garlic sauce with roasted Yukon gold potato (and my companion raved about it); the chocolate brownie desert had vanilla ice cream and raspberry reduction drizzle; and the limoncello cake was lite and fluffy and to-​die-​for!
We felt very honored when the chef/​owner came over and introduced himself (executive chef Bob Rossetti) and later his son (manager Chris Rossetti) came around and checked on all the tables… and again, made us feel welcomed and appreciated.
You don’t expect to have a «family-​restaurant» experience, with the sheik décor and hip vibe track playing in the background, but you do… you really do.
Delightful people — Delicious food — Refreshing experience!

This was our first time going to Rossetti. The décor and atmosphere was amazing, the waitress was extremely attentive, the drinks were great. But the best part of the night was when my son mentioned that the chef who was cooking looked really cool. The wife mentioned that to the waitress, and next thing you know, the chef/​owner came out, gave my son a tour of the kitchen and let us take a picture. This nice fancy place did not judge our two children, and gave them a great experience. I will be telling every one about this place. It was my birthday, and to see the smile on my kids face made it all worthwhile!

While I am a staunch fan of Antique Kitchen, a friend and I decided to try Rosetti’s before a concert in Lynn. It’s within walking distance. I was smart enough to know to make reservations months in advance. The place was literally PACKED.
I was impressed with the décor of the restaurant and the food was delicious. I can’t remember the name of the dish I got, it was chicken and delicious, I seriously could have eaten a plantations worth of their grilled potato that was on the side. The chicken portion of the meal was humongous though! Dessert was heavenly.
What really impressed me is the owner. He came out to see how we were and spent a good amount of time chatting with us. I really enjoy when an owner comes himself and asks clientele how their experience has been. It shows a lot of care. He had a great sense of humor when I told him that although his chicken dish was great, I am sorry, he cannot replace my favorite chicken dish ever consumed, that of Matt’s at the Blue Ox. He understood and told me to come back and give him a chance to beat Matt. Game on Mr. Rossetti, game on!
Highly recommended. I will say, it is rather LOUD in there. I attributed it towards the fact it was packed, we were seated in the bar area and because of the high ceilings. I did see they have another dining room. If you’re looking for a more quieter area, I’d suggest requesting a table over there.
Great new addition to Lynn!

Came here with a couple of friends on a Saturday night. Waited about 40 minutes for a table and the owner I believe (Forgot his first name but last name was Rosetti) asked us our names and if we had any allergies and brought us over some brushetta when we were finally seated. Which was great of him to do. We felt very welcomed. Our server was great, he was just a people person. Always knew when to refill our wine glasses and even cracked a couple jokes!
Lobster ravioli was great, I couldn’t finish it. I tried really hard lol
I will definitely come back and you should check it out too!

The Rossetti family knows food and hospitality. Took my date here Saturday night. From the Remedy 44 cocktail, to great appetizers, to entrees that were as good as it gets. On a snowy night that didnt deter us or our fellow diners, the entire staff did a great job. If you are looking for a great night out, look no further.

First time here. The food was delicious and the service very good. The Chef came to our table and prepared a salad for one in our party as you had seen a salad on line that is no longer available.
He was very gracious and made our friends night.
This is a place to return to .
We returned here for a second time. We ere in the bar stars waiting for our party to arrive the chef came over and asked if he could help us, sent someone over to take our drink order, that’s great service he knows what’s happen g in sll areas of his resturant.
This time the food was good, nothing special. I had the Chicken Batchili dish that the server said the chefs recommends, I should have ordered my first choice which was the salmon.
The place was very noisy the football game was on in the bar and you could get the chanting throughout the resturant. Our server was just ok unlike out first visit.
I will return one day to try the burger it looks awesome

We had quite a good experience here and I have nothing truly bad to say. Service was excellent, the sound level in the space was appropriate, and food presentation was nice. However, in comparison to it’s competitors in the area — the Blue Ox is better and Antique Table (Lynn/​Swampscott line) is cheaper with a more interesting vibe.
We had lobster fra diavolo, sweet pea risotto, and the seasonal salad — plus the crème brûlée for dessert. The lobster dish had great sauce but the lobster was overcooked. The sweet pea risotto was quite good, but a bit sweeter than it should have been. The seasonal salad was absolutely fantastic — though I can’t for the life of me figure out how berries and mixed greens could be called «seasonal» in Massachusetts in January.
The décor is upscale and cosmopolitan — though perhaps trying too hard. It’s also a bit strange that they frosted the giant windows right at eye level. It seems they’re trying to discourage you from looking at the auto shops across the way. This is classy eating, but at an average price of $ 25 per entrée this seems to be pushing Unilocal’s $$ rating. Maybe if it were Cambridge or Boston, but in Lynn it seems hard to justify.

One of my family’s favorite restaurants in the area. Consistently delicious Italian food and cocktails. The cranberry mule is amazing! To start we usually get the antipasto, meatballs, and eggplant which are all delicious. The antipasto is perfect for sharing and the truffle cheese was to die for. I’ve had many of the main dishes but my favorites are the Bolognese, Lobster Ravioli and Eggplant parm. The gnocchi is good but different from other places. Their burger is amazing and the Parmesan truffle fries are a consistent hit.
Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because the service was a little off the last time we went. We ordered the eggplant app and instead received calamari. Interesting mix up as seafood is really a hit or miss with crowds — fortunately we ended up enjoying it. We also ordered the truffle fries as an app and they never came. We reminded them twice and they came with our dinner which at that point we didn’t necessarily need them. The waiter was very professional about it and handled the mistake well. Usually the customer service is great and the owner or manager always comes around to check in — nice touch.

Great pre concert place for drinks. Not too crowded and very clean and maintained very nicely

The setting is a corner Italian restaurant on a side street in Lynn with white table clothes that serves expensive Italian style steaks and heaping plates of pasta. Abiding it’s own prominent section on the menu, however, is «The Burger» ($ 16.95).
Chuck and filet? Two boring meats. Short rib? Now we’re talking.
The three meat blend sounds dubious since the first two are so common and bland but the proportions come together to make it just right.
A buttered brioche bun, grilled, sandwiches the melting cheddar cheese and sautéed onions — reduced in red wine — onto the hamburger itself.
This is a heck of a burger — plump, juicy, seasoned well and cooked perfectly medium rare. The bun holds the juices together so that hands are left relatively unscathed while devouring this behemoth. Crisp bacon and the melting cheddar cheese drape the top of the thick patty. The bun is slightly sweet but not overpowering while the meat is densely packed and rich with flavor.
Servers are polite, well spoken and sport white aprons to compliment the fancy table and crystal stem ware. A sleek bar of deep hued wood sits in the center of the glass walled room.
Absolutely worth the trip to Lynn to check out this burger.

Excellent cocktails, great service, wonderful food, lovely décor. We had the caprese salad special, the seafood linguine, steak entrée and chocolate dessert. Everything was sensational. The bread was so-​so, but the dipping oil was really phenomenal. With better bread, it’d be the best on the north shore. We will be back, for sure.

Great food, but what really sets this place apart is the bar. The wine list is superb, and Joel, the beverage manager, is very, very good at his craft.

IN BRIEF: 5-​star service, but 3-​star food and 3-​star drinks. Came here with a friend of mine to check it out and first impression: this place is where you break out the Banana Republic outfit. Sleek lines, and nicely decorated. Service here is ON POINT: our waitress and restaurant staff was QUICK and friendly. One of my pet peeves is having empty plates in front of me, and plates were cleared almost instantaneously.
Seating staff could use some help though: I think I counted three people behind the seating counter and they all seemed more interested in talking to each other. Not a great welcome.
Now food. We ordered apps, entrees and dessert. I wasn’t wowed. While everything seemed *decent*, for a place like this I would have expected MORE. Biggest pet peeve were the parmesan garlic fries. Great presentation and interesting taste, but I got a thing of OTC ketchup to dip them in – way too sweet, and definitely not compatible with the flavors on my plate. My drink was also just *meh.* I ordered beer next and was much happier with my decision.
My verdict? If you’re looking for a good-​looking restaurant with great service and not terribly interested in great food, give this place a shot. But stick to the beer.

From the atmosphere to the service and bar menu and the delicious food, it was a pleasant surprise to be here. I was here celebrating my sister’s birthday — to start the drinks were delicious. I had some Chambered concoction the bartender made for my sisters; delish.
Most of us started with fresh Caesar or seasonal salad; on par. The table was served various dishes and I got to sample some; Chicken «Margarita», aged sirloin, gnocchi — all good. I did think the aged sirloin could have been a bit more tender; lacked a bit of taste, but that was made up by the garlic mashed potatoes
The desserts, lemon limoncello cake, tiramisu, chocolate cake and crème brûlée — perfecto. If given the option of dining here, you won’t go wrong!

I took my mother here for her birthday before we went to see Pat Benatar last night at the Lynn auditorium … we were 15 minutes early for our reservation and they sat us within a couple minutes which was great.
I will start off by saying YES IT IS LOUD but not ridiculously loud. However I can see it getting there easily.
fried calamari was amazing, the buffalo sauce was really good with it and it was cooked perfectly
I got the veal parm with spaghetti, the veal was out of this world good! the spaghetti was just a hair over cooked, but it was still good. The only suggestion I would have is to use the same sauce on the pasta that was on the cutlet Because that sauce was amazing!
the eggplant my mother got was equally as phenomenal !
we will definitely be back! even though we came from over an hour away :-)
our waitress was awesome and on top of everything and the woman bussing the tables was really funny and she made the experience even better!
