We went here because we want to find an Italian restaurant that would be as good as Carrabbas. We recently moved and we are too far from Carrabbas now. I saw a lot of good reviews of this place so we gave it a try. I was excited because they have mussels in white wine like Carrabas. But I didn’t like the mussels. Too salty and nothing special. Honestly,from all these photos that I uploaded the only thing that I would say that we like was the fettuccine alfredo. We regret ordering the baked clam the most. Just lots of breading and you couldn’t even taste any clam. We were actually laughing because we really couldn’t find the clams. Lol.
Fried calamari is nothing compared to Carrabbas. Oh god the soup was really weird, we ordered two diff soups, it looks the same and they both have pasta just diff taste. Can’t really explain. Salad also wasn’t good. We took the left overs home but ended up in trash. We will not come back.

The effort was there but it just didn’t deliver for me. I ordered the chicken cacciatore and was greatly disappointed, it came with a full breast , thigh , chicken wing and drumstick…. I’m not going to eat a drumstick or a chicken wing with a knife and fork I’m sorry especially when everything was drenched in sauce that’s just asking for trouble, furthermore cacciatore is made with bone in thighs only, It did not come with Capellini as it should, oh no instead it came with some penne on the side in a separate tiny little bowl pre sauced. The dish was not attractive at all and it tasted like it looked. The outside isn’t cute and neither is the inside, I’m not sure how this place has almost 5 stars. Service was good, drinks were pretty good too. I would not return here especially for what they charge. This place desperately needs updating throughout.

Cucino Rosa is a small Italian restaurant that is so worth going to. From the time you walk in you are treated like family not a guest. I had the tortalinni ala Panna and it was out of this world. There was so much I brought the rest home. The next day it tasted just as good if not better. Warm bread served as well as your choice of soup or salad. The minestrone soup was delicious. If you want a great place to eat while feeling you are with friends I would definitely recommend.

Lovely, small, old-school family-owned Italian restaurant with generous portions. This is near my folks and it is obvious why it is one of their favorites. Quality of the food is excellent, pasta appears to be house-made as is everything. Garlic dressing for the salad is excellent. I recommend you get a flight of cannoli to take home — because you will be stuffed. I would advise reservations – and expect to have a relaxing long meal as hand made foodie quality shouldn’t, and isn’t, rushed.
You can fully expect to have leftovers for another two meals from a serving of most pasta dishes unless you’re a gourmand instead of a gourmet.

My favorite place for Italian in the area. Great family run business that feels like home to me. I am a big fan of their Giambotta.

My wife and I had dinner here for the first time tonight and it was excellent! The staff are friendly and very attentive. The food was excellent! The atmosphere reminded me of family friendly Italian restaurants I grew up going to in Chicago. I had Brioce served over pasta with marinara sauce and it was delicious!
This is going to be my “go to” for Italian food from now on!!! Don’t miss out on an opportunity to eat here!

Went there with friends who have been there before. 40 min ride BUT WORTH IT!! Love a small family place. The food is amazing and the portions are big. I swear almost everyone was walking out with a to go bag. 4 of us and we all had different dishes. Every dish was so so good. Hubby had Braciole which melted in your mouth. The red sauce is so good. Will definitely be going back.

Came here to eat for my nieces birthday and I knew the moment I walked in that it wasn’t going to be a good experience but i stayed because she wanted to try it. The restaurant was pretty dead for being around dinner time. Atmosphere was very dark and the cleanliness of the place was subpar. So was the decor. We were seated and waited for about 20 minutes or more before the waitress even came over to say hello or take a drink order. Luckily the bus girl came by with a cask of water and loaf of bread or we would t have had anything. Waitress finally comes by and takes drink and appetizer order and then doesn’t bring our sodas over for another 20 minutes. She finally returns with drinks and our appetizers and then takes our order. We ate our soups, salads and appetizers and they were all awful. Cold and bland. My son took one bite of his soup and pushed it away. I took one bite of my salad and pushed it away. Same with my mother. Bruschetta was soggy and over seasoned. Another 20 min goes by before waitress returns and we ask for refills on our drinks. I think you see the pattern here. Brings out drinks with food. Every few min while we were eating the bud girl kept trying to take our plates while we were still eating off them. Had to tell her to stop and go away because it was rude and intrusive. Our dinners were just as awful as appetizers. My veal dish was just breading and no seasoning at all. Just flour and it was drowned in a watery sauce that was pretty much soup. They also put on about a pound of garlic on it that it was overpowering and pretty much inedible. We all pretty much just picked at it and asked for to go boxes. $150 for low grade food. I could have gone to the local diner and paid a quarter of the price and had better food. We will never be returning again. I expected more from an “authentic establishment” for shame.
