Our favorite sushi place and maybe restaurant in NY . We had high expectations and they were delivered. The service was good, they had good recommendations except that they told us not to repeat and now we want to go again to eat their tuna hand roll. Our ranking was: 1. Tuna hand roll 2. Bagel on Hudson 3. Ceviche 4. Miso Carrot Cake 5. Fish slider 6. Nigiri’s 7. Spicy tuna toll 8. Coconut ice cream 9.Salmon avocado rolls

It’s no secret that Rosella is an East Village standout, but it’s taken me a while to visit finally. I met a friend for an obscenely early dinner, but we were glad for it. There were still plenty of people in the dining room, but the staff were super attentive.
Most of the seating is counter seating, either in the window, at the bar, or in the back over the sushi chef. There doesn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house. There is a happy hour menu, which we ordered a couple of things from, but we were primarily focused on the fish.
To get a feel for the menu, we ordered several things. The tuna with pesto and watermelon was terrific, a must-try. My friend said he never seeks out pesto, but this was something special. Next up were two spicy tuna handrolls, which were as promised, spicy and with a nice crunch added for texture.
Next up came the sushi, and while my friends were a little delayed by the kitchen, our server was quick to offer us their cucumber salad with yogurt and microgreens to keep us munching. All were delicious and consumed quickly.
In terms of beverages, we didn’t stray from sake, which was offered on the happy hour menu, but there were many options, including a house-made orange wine from LI.
All in, this is a great place to meet a friend, and have a quick bite or sit and chat while you graze the menu. Either way, you will not be disappointed by anything; it’s a lovely spot.

Took my out-of-town parents here so they could experience fine dining. They had an amazing time—excellent food, phenomenal service and a cozy but not cramped space. Our server was one the most knowledgeable I’ve ever had. She even had anecdotes about the local farmers who sourced one of the ingredients. And don’t skip dessert!
We were not rushed at all, which I find to be rare in New York. I highly recommend this place!

What a special dining experience! Don’t be fooled by the small and unassuming format, this place is special. Unique flavors in the best way every time that are different in a good way not just for the sake of being different. Speaking of sake, some of the best sake pairings I’ve ever had! Plus it’s just oozing with an air of cool hospitality that is so rare.
Every dish was incredible I truly can’t pick a favorite. Nothing is “too weird”, it all works way better than you’re expecting so just go for it.

We had the absolute best time! Sean (who doubled as our waiter and chef) was engaging, friendly, and informative. He described every dish perfectly and gave us delicious recommendations. It was some of my favorite food in nyc!

From start to finish, our experience at Rosella was absolutely phenomenal. James was an incredible host and an exceptional food guide, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does.
We put our full trust in him and let him curate our entire meal, and it was hands-down the best decision we could’ve made. Every dish that came out was thoughtfully chosen, beautifully presented, and completely delicious. Not a single miss, each course somehow topped the last.
The level of care, creativity, and flavor in every bite made this a truly memorable dining experience. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, just go, and let the team guide you.
Will 100% be back.

This may be the most delicious sushi ever on the whole entirety of the planet, served by the most knowledgeable and kind people. My friend and I didn’t have a reservation and the website said to text–well you know how sometimes you text and no one responds or you text and really popular places are snooty–it wasn’t like that at all! We texted and within minutes someone had responded to let us know that if we were there a little after 5 that there might be a spot for us and we went down and there was a spot and it was magic. The fusion of flavors was amazing but as impressive was the care and consideration that our waiter gave to making sure we had a meal that was exactly right for us. If he told us his name, I must have forgotten, but he was a dancer with so much knowledge of the menu. We loved talking with him about both and so much appreciate his recommendations. This is a great restaurant with a chill vibe and amazing food and service.

Feels like a neighborhood place with a five star kitchen. Not a straightforward sushi resto and that’s a good thing, here. Order any and everything. The fish is high quality and prep is outstanding. You take time to savor the complexity. Excellent wine and saki pairings. And best of all, chef’s kiss for considering solo diners: several menu items are offered as half portions. Attentive staff. Intimate setting with great energy. Moving straight to top of the list.

I was wowed by Rosella the second I walked in the door. The music was great, the host was incredibly friendly, and the menu was intriguing (don’t miss out on the fish sausage slider). We sat at the bar and it was a real treat to get to watch the chefs work their magic right in front of us.
Shoutout to our server Michael who helped us with our menu picks. The 5-piece nigiri was delicious and fresh and I haven’t stopped thinking about the smoked steelhead trout. I can’t wait to come back! And a major thank you to the Rosella team for making me feel so special as I celebrated my birthday!

Great experience. The food is prepared in front of you and is delicious. The happy hour specials are a steal. The spicy apple dish, great starter is a half portion size on the HH menu but still worth it so other dishes can be tried. Miso soup was delicious. Grits were great. Tuna hand roll solid. 5 piece nigiri delicious and fresh. Fish sausage slider interesting. Dessert, something usually skipped, was the miso carrot cake, which wasn’t too sweet and very well done.
