This restaurant is pretty nice! And well priced. $15-22 appetizers, $24-45 mains including steak, pasta, pizza, duck, lamb rack, chicken, market seafood, muscles, etc. We had the octopus appetizer, it was by far my fav. The Mediterranean pizza was good – I liked the feta cheese, but I wasn’t crazy about the crust.
The baked cheese pasta was good too, it was just a bit simple and plain? I wasn’t wowed, but it was good because it was bread and cheese and tomato sauce! Where to go wrong? Just wasn’t wowed.
The people next to us had the wonton appetizer dish and THAT looked great.
The flourless chocolate cake was also good. Wish it had a berry compote or raspberry puree or something to cut through the richness. They had some ice cream, but it didn’t taste too high quality to me? Think berries go better. They gave one strawberry and one blackberry, neither of which were very ripe.
Service is slightly slow but nothing crazy. People are very nice and friendly!
They have an outdoor patio that was empty on a Sept Saturday night. Inside is much more ambient, it has great lighting. You should call to make a reservation (or pop by).
There is a parking lot for the restaurant.
We ordered an espresso. It was not an espresso. Tasted a bit like my office machine’s Americano, which unfortunately is not a compliment
I would come back to try more of the appetizers. Think this place has potential to be a 5 star nicer dining spot in saugeen shores!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Rosina’s! Our server, Sasha, provided exceptional service—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The salmon was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful – paired beautifully with fresh, well-seasoned vegetables. We also enjoyed a nice glass of wine to complement the meal. Dessert was outstanding (flourless chocolate cake and gelato), the perfect sweet finish to a great evening.
We very much appreciate that Rosina’s supports the Winterhawks hockey team – it’s great to see a business so involved in the community. Overall, a delightful experience and we look forward to returning.

I love a restaurant that cares about quality ingredients and making a 5 star dish. The short rib tagliatelle was to die for- I would send anyone here just for that. We also had the rosemary vanilla crème brûlée for dessert which was one of the best I’ve ever had. We hoped to sit on the patio but it was closed due to rain and a little loud inside but the food and service made up for it. Very impressed with the fine dining feel, yet affordability of Rosina. I will be recommending to friends and family!

This was our first time going to the restaurant and after trying many Bruce County Restaurants we would now say this is the most highly rated. We had incredible food and service for lunch. We had the Octopus Grilled Salad appetizer, I had the Lamb & Olive Lasagnette and my wife had the Ricotta Gnocchi which lots of seafood. The waiter was very friendly, made good recommendations, and was attentive to our needs. We will definitely return again!

I’ve dined here before and had great experiences, which is why I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday with friends. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing—especially for a restaurant that prides itself on fine dining.
One of my friends has a tomato allergy, and we notified the server when we gave our order. When the food came out, she had tomato in her dish. They took it back, but her new dish didn’t arrive until about 20 minutes after the rest of us were already served and eating, which was uncomfortable and unacceptable, particularly when allergies are involved.
We were also charged a $25 cake cutting fee, even though I cut my own cake and the server only carried it out to the table. For a birthday celebration, this felt excessive and not reflective of a fine dining experience- I’d go as far as greedy.
I emailed the restaurant afterward to share my disappointment and never received a response, which says a lot about how guest feedback is valued.
I usually enjoy this restaurant and recommended it to my friends based on past visits, but this experience was awful. You would think a manager would come speak to the table, respond to an email or simply discount her meal for the trouble, but nothing was done to rectify any of the situations that occurred that night.

There’s absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. The location is great, the service is outstanding, and the food is delicious. I went we 3 other people and we all got different pastas because of their amazing couple’s pasta deal on Wednesdays. Every single pasta dish was incredible in its own way. We also got the baked brie appetizer and everyone loved it. Finally, I had chocolate cake for dessert which was really heavy and delicious.

Very nice little restaurant. It’s cozy, with good seating. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and happily gave us recommendations on the wine. We had an excellent caesar salad as well as 3 cheese manicotti and spinach fettuccine. That was fantastic and I’ll have it next year when I return.

First time going with friends of our. There were 7 of us and we quite enjoyed our experience although one fundamental expectation was not there. Meals are to come out at the same time for all people. This was no the case on Thursday night. 2 entrees came and then 5 minutes later, 3 more came and finally the last 2 another 5 minutes later. The server was oblivious to the fact that this was not how meals should come out and thus no apology. Too bad because we enjoyed the food.

Had an outstanding meal this evening, easily one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. I want to give a special shoutout to the man who was training and mentoring the new employees. The level of respect, patience, and genuine willingness to teach that he showed is something you rarely see in the restaurant industry. It was clear he wasn’t just managing, but truly investing in those new team members. His approach left a strong impression on me and made me want to support this restaurant even more. I’m confident the young man and woman he was training are going to be excellent additions to the team. Way to go, Rosina!

My husband and I enjoyed a very good dinner at Ristorante Rosina last night. The octopus appetizer was delicious and a perfect share for the two of us. We had pasta dishes, both excellent and shared a lemon cheesecake for dessert. The service was excellent as was the ambiance! All of that and a bottle of Chardonnay at a reasonable price! We will be back!
