   This was our first time at Rosie's. We started with the arancini and meatballs, which were both delicious. The meatballs were served with toasted bread, which was perfect for mopping up the extra sauce. I had the basil gnocchi- it appeared to be doused in the basil sauce, and I was afraid it would be overpowering, but it had the best flavor. One friend had the Rigatoni Vodka and the other had the Baked Ziti - both were very tasty! And the portion sizes were big enough that we all took leftovers home for lunch today. We finished with the cannoli cookie, which was the perfect bookend to the meal. I look forward to going back because there are so many other items I want to try!!

   My husband and I tried Rosie’s before a show at the Aronoff, and we really enjoyed it. We shared a salad, and I enjoyed it a little more than my husband. It was a little different, but it’s just one of those personal preferences. My husband had the carbonara dish, and he said it was delicious. I had the pasta with vodka sauce, and it was delicious also. I added meatballs, and I’m glad that I did. They were wonderful. I also had a delicious Pinot Grigio. We shared the cannoli chocolate chip cookie with vanilla gelato, and it was fantastic. I have 2 suggestions. Serve some Italian bread with the meal, especially because it’s great to use to eat any leftover pasta sauce. Please give larger water glasses, and put carafes of water on the table. I actually saw them on other tables, but our waitress didn’t give us one. Overall, we enjoyed our experience!

   I made last minute rsvp for 2 people on a Sunday afternoon and was thrilled we were able to get in even if it was sitting at the bar. The staff was welcoming & pleasant. We were immediately shown to our place at the bar which was comfortable & roomy and had a great view of the kitchen. Our server was very attentive & helpful with orienting us to the menu, since it was our first time visiting Rosie's. We shared the chicken parmesan with pasta and the broccolini which was perfect & very delicious! Definitely will return to Rosie's!

   Service was slow. Never offered refill on drinks. Sat by window air was cold. Noticed most people are with coats on so I am sure wasn’t just us who were cold. Food was excellent will go again in warmer weather.

   Meal was good, not great. Kinda blah actually. Service was slow but that was fine, we were in no rush. Had the parmesan twists, 4 was too much for two people. Got the honey pie pizza, was great. We also tried the limoncello spritz and rosso sangria…very average in our opinion. And the Parmesan chicken over pasta was a bit much..lacked flavor, but that was because it had melted cheese all over it. Ambiance is more bistro than fine dining. We’d go again, would just be more mindful of the portions.

    Good food, but overpriced. We likely won’t return based on value.
