Fodor's Review:

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.

Very nice , intimate style place, with lovely sea food selection, prices are not cheap, but it worth it.You must sit in the garden, it has a great atmosphere, and so far the best service we encounterd in Cairo.Only down side is that if you are staying in downtown Cairo, Heliopolis might feel quite far out, and if you get a local (black and white) cab to take you there and back, you are looking to spend 100LE (return) on the taxi only.But I still think it really worth it ..They had a a guy playng the saxophone in the garden in and it really felt magical.
