Nestled in the heart of Prahran, Rossi is a sensational addition to Greville Street and one of the Italian restaurants Prahran locals have been eagerly waiting for. This stylish yet industrial diner represents the culinary brainchild of Ita Nick Young, of Good Company Bar Group fame, which boasts iconic venues such as Riviera Beach Club, Electric, and The Emerson.
A Dining Experience Like No Other
Rossi is where you can indulge in a memorable evening, combining delicious food, a fantastic atmosphere, and an opportunity to unwind with friends after dinner. It's a place where quality meets ambiance, making it one of the standout Italian restaurants in Prahran.
“The Italian-leaning menu, by French-born head chef Thibault Boggio (ex-Vue de Monde, Pinchy’s), hints at Boggio’s training at a Michelin-starred restaurant in dishes like the parmigiana choux, filled with bechamel sauce, Wagyu and caviar. Burrata is served with roasted cherry tomato coulis and mushroom pasta arancini – fried balls made with mushroom pasta rather than the typical rice – are served with a pesto emulsion.”
From perfectly dense house-made rosemary focaccia to traditional antipasti dishes, our culinary offerings set us apart from other Italian restaurants in Prahran.

Savour Italian Classics with a Modern Twist
Indulge in signature dishes like the white duck Strozzapreti Ragu served with crunchy Speck or the Spanner Crab Spaghettini in a rich tomato sauce with spicy chili and salty bottarga.
If you're a fan of pizza, our wood-fired oven chef, Gaetano Cioffi, crafts ten gourmet pizza combinations that will satisfy every palate.
“The pizza-dominated menu – there are 10 choices – is mostly free from surprises, although chef Thibault Boggio brings with him experience from high-end kitchens, including as sous chef at Vue de Monde and Trader House Group.”
