Rossa Negra

Truly a superb dining experience! Food quality, presentation, service and atmosphere are absolutely stellar. As good as any fine dining establishment I have experienced in New York City. Truly gourmet. My son and I have multiple food allergies to gluten and dairy- and they accommodated us with no problem. (And on a holiday no less!) The owner was a lovely woman who explained to me that they are a scratch kitchen and can accommodate easily. Instead of bread they brought us plantains and chimichuri sauce. My son and I had rack of lamb perfectly seasoned with delicious vegetables and an allergen free demi glaze made special. My son had octopus and I a delicious salad as appetizers modified to our needs. The meal was leisurely and the staff was attentive concerned that the meal was made to our satisfaction. My husband had the duck and calamari which they modified for his dietary needs (he is diabetic) and he raved about the delicate melt in your mouth flavors. We did not sample them but they offer gf empanadas too. (2 kinds) Do yourself a favor, when you are in the vicinity in East Lyme CT, stop in to Rossa Negra. You will not be disappointed, this is a top notch establishment.
