Rosalie’s Cucina, built in authentic Tuscan style, was established in 1995 by renowned restauranteur Philip Romano for his sister Rosalie. Today Rosalie’s is owned and operated by executive chef Marc Albino and has been recognized in various publications and featured on national television’s “Dining Around”.
Hearty Italian food served in a Tuscan-style space plus a bakery serving pastries & pizzas to go.

If I could give 6 stars for the service, I would. The best service I have ever experienced. The food was fantastic, and we were served quickly, but we were not rushed at all. The bread was fabulous, and you can buy a loaf at the bakery before 8 p.m. The best chocolate cake I have ever ordered. I highly recommend and we look forward to visiting again. Thank you for a great night out!

One of the premier restaurants in the Syracuse area. We had our wedding reception here 9 years ago and they kindly let us bring our own wedding cake. We also got to sign the wall. Over the years, I’ve tried many items on their menu and found them all to be excellent. The wine list is outstanding, and the service is very professional. Be careful not to spoil your appetite by eating too much of their delicious bread (made on site) before your food arrives. For something a little different try the manicotti as an appetizer, slow-roasted pork as an entree, and the banana budino for dessert. UPDATE-1: Scampi alla Rosalie is one of the best meals I’ve ever had in a restaurant. With each bite of shrimp, oven-cured tomato, artichoke, spinach, or angel hair pasta in garlic butter, my taste buds rejoiced. It was truly a memorable meal. If you like garlic, ask for extra garlic on the dish. My wife had the scallops and liked them very much. She offered me a taste and I thought they were a little undercooked, so if you like your scallops cooked through, you should request that when ordering. UPDATE-2: Returning three months after our outstanding experience at this restaurant, we discovered that their kitchen can be inconsistent. I suspect a different chef was on duty on 10/18/24 than the one who prepared our outstanding dishes on 7/16/24. My wife’s $50 scallop dish had three scallops in contrast to five on her earlier visit (see photos below of the two dishes). And my shrimp scampi dish had overcooked rubbery shrimp, artichokes with hard leaves, little sauce, and little garlic even though I requested extra garlic. It was disappointing, especially as we brought others with us to the restaurant this time. UPDATE-3: Had two excellent meals. I had the chicken scallopini and my wife had the scallops. UPDATE-4: The mushroom soup was not what I had hoped for, but the filet was tender and absolutely delicious, and nicely complimented by the vegetables. My wife loved her meatballs and pasta dish.

It was a beautiful restaurant with AMAZING food! Our waiter Eric was extremely pleasant and Chef Marc came out to say hello and wish our parents a happy anniversary.
I recommend visiting this restaurant.

I have been coming here for 30 years and the food, service and ambiance have always been excellent. Last night I had a swordfish special which was outstanding. The cut was thick, cooked perfectly and plated with delicious pasta and broccolini. The carpaccio was delicious and presented beautifully. Eric our server was great.

Wonderful place to have dinner – with friends, business partners, family, even alone. Food is fabulous – I had a chicken dish and my friend had a beef dish. Our doggie bags were swans! So cute! Waiter was friendly, shared some of the restaurant’s backstory. Great Italian food, wine was wonderful as well. Outside space is inviting, fireplace roaring when we left. Really nice place – will be back, for sure.

Fantastic Italian eatery! Everything about Rosalie’s Cucina is exceptional. The service is attentive but not intrusive. The food is delicious and the culinary and beverage options are plentiful. Tasteful plating, a unique Tuscan-inspired decor, and ample parking round out this memorable experience. A bit noisier than preferred, but not a problem. Reasonable prices and a nice location a half-mile west of Skaneateles.

First, Rosalies has always been a place my friends and I love to stop to get a drink, share some apps, and always get a dessert.
So I knew we had to bring all our closest friends and family here from out of town for our Rehearsal Dinner. BEST DECISION EVER. Service was outstanding, the process was simple, and the food never stopped (family style service). Everything was beyond delicious and we even had a couple compliments made that it was the best Rehearsal Dinner meal they had ever had. Cherry on top was getting to be in a gorgeous private room with all our family and friends who then all got sent home with the leftovers to enjoy all weekend! Thank you to all the Rosalies staff for such a greta experience!

The family treated me to dinner for the first time and man what a spot! The other reviews were spot on the bread is so amazing! It’s really nice how they have the garlic, spices, and cheese to add to the olive oil. I had the rigatoni and it was very good. For dessert I had the Banana Pudding and it was beyond amazing. The staff was super nice but our server disappeared at times for long periods of time. There was a substantial amount of time that passed while we waited to place our order for dessert.
