In a renovated villa in Heliopolis, Rossini is a convenient choice for business, but it offers plenty of romance as well. Forgo the pleasant (if generic) interior and sit in the garden, where tables are scattered among spotlit palm trees. Rossini is best known for its Italian-influenced seafood, including tender stuffed crab and a delicious shrimp-over-linguine dish. If you want something more local, try the whole fish baked in a casing of salt, a Coptic favorite, especially during the holidays. For dessert, this is probably the only restaurant in town that pulls off an authentic tiramisu. Service is excellent.
