Show 266, March 24, 2018: Executive Chef & Proprietor, Steve Samson, Rossoblu

Steve Samson of Sotto and RossobluDowntown Los Angeles’ Rossoblu (almost 1-year old) tells the story of two places Executive Chef & Proprietor Steve Samson considers home: Los Angeles and Bologna. The restaurant is a homage to Samson’s heritage, inspired by childhood memories of summers spent in Bologna and its surrounding region, Emilia Romagna.

The menu features handmade pastas, market fresh produce, and an in-house butchery and salumi program. The wine list focuses on unique Italian and California varietals, with a sharp focus on Emilia Romagna’s famed Lambrusco. A true family owned and operated restaurant, Rossoblu is managed by Steve’s wife, Dina, and their management team whom they have worked with for the last ten plus years.

Located in Downtown’s City Market South, the site of Los Angeles’ original wholesale produce market, Rossoblu’s open kitchen with wood-fired rotisserie, marbled serpentine bar, and starry-lit vaulted dining room create a convivial dining environment.

Newly added is Saturday and Sunday Brunch. Think Nutella Stuffed French Toast and Frittata Bolognese.

Rossoblu will also host the premier event for the 2nd Annual Los Angeles Times Food Bowl on Monday evening, April 30th. Jonathan Gold (Los Angeles Times Food Critic) will be in the house.

We’ll check-in with Chef Steve Samson for an update.
