Behind every plate, every pour, + every memorable night at Rossi is a team that cares deeply about the details. Our kitchen, bar, + dining room teams are made up of people who take pride in their craft + genuinely enjoy creating great experiences for others.
Many of our team members have been here for years. Others are newer faces who bring fresh energy + perspective. What they share is a commitment to hospitality that feels natural, attentive, + unforced. The kind that makes guests feel welcome the moment they walk through the door.
From the kitchen to the bar to the dining room floor, our team works together with intention. Thoughtful service, honest food, well-made drinks, + an atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile do not happen by accident. They happen because of the people behind them.
We are proud of the team that brings Rossi to life every day + grateful for the guests who allow us to do what we love.
Good food sets the table. Great people make the night.

With Care, from the heart of the rossi
From our general Manager, Amanda Mullins
To Those who share our table,
At my core, I’m a people person. I believe hospitality is an act of love, shaped by presence, care, + the moments that stay with us long after the night ends. While I love this city, this neighborhood, + the beauty of this building, The Rossi has always been more than walls or rooms to me. It is the people. The ones who gather here, who return, who celebrate, who linger, Who bring this place to life each day. To lead The Rossi is to care for something deeply human + deeply shared. If our paths cross during your visit, I hope you’ll introduce yourself. Thank you for choosing to be here, for supporting this neighborhood, + for allowing The Rossi to be part of your story.
