Been to Rosina’s a couple of times now and never been disappointed. Staff have always made us feel welcome and wanting to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experiences. Cocktails and wine selections are good and the food is very enjoyable. Worth stopping by if in the area

Hmm I’m torn with this restaurant bc I want to give it a 5 star rating but just can’t. We went for my mom’s bday. Host was not warm and on the way out made a snarky comment to me and my parents as we left. I worked and managed in restaurants so unfortunately for him, under his breath was still quite audible to me. Not very professional.
To basically undo the weird host demeanor, it was a great touch that what we assume to be the owner was the first to touch our table AND recited the specials. That both helps the server and sets an ‘I care’ tone from a customer perspective. Major ups.
Our server was seated many tables at once, but we were the second of her tables. Her timing was decent but she was obviously given too many tables to give us much attention.
Bread was pretty nice, wasn’t a huge fan of the oil dipping sauce situation.
My parents had two salads to start which were amazing. Super fresh and not overdressed, also not the dreaded greens > toppings ratio there was enough of the good stuff on top on every forkful. 10/10 for the Caesar and Pear Salads.
I had the Lasagna. It was a solid 9. Amazing portion HUGE, and served hot. I didn’t notice much ricotta but the meat quality made up for the lack of pillowy soft ricotta. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the layers were just divine. I personally like a little more cheese or creamy element like a bechamel addition to both elevate and balance the richness of the layers. It tasted a little more oily than I like.
My mom LOVED her manicotti 10/10 from her.
My dad LOVED his Linguine Vongole, and wine. We will be back for sure and maybe have a less busy night so we can have a little better service experience but overall loved Rosina’s.

I came here for dinner with my husband and everything was amazing. The house bread with the sauce was so good. I’m not sure what they put in the sauce but it’s delicious! We ordered the special grill peach and burrata cheese appetizer and it was really refreshing. We also ordered chicken Parmesan with angel hair pasta and that was tasty. I would highly recommend this place!

The food is delicious but super oily! You feel full after eating a small portion. Making a tasty food by adding too much oil or cheese is a trick.
As I saw in the restaurant, most of customers are middle age and above. This group cares about their health. So, you will lose your customers.
Inside the restaurant is beautiful with a warm atmosphere, but a bit too packed. Servers seem to have less freedom in their movement and problem in accessing all sides of tables.

Tried this place for the first time with my wife and some friends. It was a busy Sunday night and we got there at six just before it started getting very busy. The menu has a lot of interesting if traditional takes on upscale Italian foods. We are pescatarians mostly so leaned that way on our choices. Our friends swear by the stuffed eggplant that contains sausage and other meats. I very much enjoyed the salmon that was cooked perfectly with a nice carrot puree on a very decent risotto. My wife loved the manicotti and noted the lovely stuffed crepes. We also got a port soaked pear salad that we shared that was tasty but not spectacular. The service was very friendly but quite slow and we had to walk up to the front to pay after waiting a long time to get a check after we were long finished. Passed on a dessert as that would have added another chunk of time. Still giving them four stars for service because I sympathize with staff shortages.

This place was a delight. The restaurant is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. I ordered the swordfish, and the chicken picata was delicious. The peaches and mozzarella cheese appetizer is a must. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and the prices are so reasonable. I recommend this Italian restaurant to all!

We were a group of 5 and visited the restaurant for dinner. I had made patio reservations. The ambiance was good, and our server was pleasant.
In terms of food, most of the items we ordered were good. The lasagna was the favorite, followed by the Manicotti.
A friend ordered the fettuccine mare and wasn’t pleased with the dish.
The tiramisu and the affogato were both okay. We have had better.
Our server, though, was on top of everything and made it a pleasant experience.
