Mondays: Pranzo dell'Aragosta Griglia...Grilled Lobster Dinner!
With the summer in full swing, we wondered why the fine folks from Maine are the only ones who get to enjoy the bounty of succulent crustaceans at bargain prices at this time of year. So, we worked some negotiating magic (read more in my upcoming book, “Wood-Grilled Lobsters for the Soul: How to Sweet Talk Your Seafood Purveyor into Selling You Lobsters at a Ridiculous Price”…okay, I admit, it will have a limited audience and it’s thinner than a brochure, but I’m sure it will be a bestseller). Join us MONDAYS for a delicious deal featuring a two-course lobster meal which includes a first course of Chilled Lobster Claw Salad over Summer Panzanella Salad with Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette followed by Wood-Grilled Lobster Tail with Garlic-Herb Butter over Parmesan-Herb Mashed Potatoes and Summer Vegetables WITH a glass of Vicolo Pinot Grigio for only $19! Reservations are HIGHLY recommended.

Apparently, according to the many phone calls I've received, a lot of you missed out on the first three Steak Grilling classes I presented in June. So, for ONE more night, I'll school you in the art of choosing, preparing, grilling and serving a perfect steak. The class will be held on the patio at Rosso and dinner will be served. Cost is only $19 and it INCLUDES the meal. Call us at 803-787-3949 for reservations.

Whether its BBQ chicken, roasted chicken, grilled chicken breasts or ANY type of vegetable, you'll walk away from this class with the ability to make them all taste great. Classes are held outside at Rosso, so dress appropriately. Classes also include a meal and the total cost is only $19 per person. Call us at 787-3949 to make reservations.

Open Table
A quick note about Open Table, our online reservation system, and booking larger parties. Open Table is set up to only take parties of 8 or more a few times an evening. If you try to book one online, you may be told we don't have space even if we really do, so please call us directly if you need to make a reservation for a larger group. The same can be said for smaller parties, too. Sometimes, the available online slots are filled, but we still have spaces available. Again, just give us a quick call and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your party. Our number is 803-787-3949.

Friday and Saturday beginning at 10PM: REVERSE Happy Hour!
That's right, enjoy Happy Hour pricing at 10PM until we close on drinks and tapas! Also, on any night of the week, if you attend a local theater event...play, concert, movie...bring your ticket stub and get HALF-OFF any one tapa!
