What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rosie's Italian Grille is praised for its authentic Tuscan ambiance, generous portions of delicious homemade pasta and seafood, and exceptional service. Many enjoy the cozy setting and the quality of ingredients. However, some diners have noted a surcharge for credit card use and for additional bread baskets, and one reviewer was disappointed by a restriction on adding cheese to non-pasta dishes.
"VERY GOOD FOOD! The portion was way bigger than I thought i was going to get. Well worth the price for the amount of food I got. The pasta i believe is 100% homemade (not verified by staff), but the taste and appearance i would say it was. Manicotti was also served but had no picture. Pictured is the shrimp and lobster pasta and hot bread. My salad was REALLY good, I got a raspberry vinaigrette, and it was amazing with my salad. Service got 4 out of 5 because not really keeping up on drinks for what I would call a slower night, wasn't super busy, was a Wednesday night around 7pm."

"Most excellent dinner options. I suggest making a reservation for any meal time as this restaurant is always busy. The food is delicious, the drinks are wonderful, and the desserts divine. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly and gave us excellent suggestions! We will most definitely be going back. The Honey Crusted Chicken and Chicken Marcella were our dinner choices."

"We had a GREAT time last night celebrating a family birthday at Rosie’s Italian Grille. With a party of six our wait was only eight minutes; not bad at all. The food, service, and atmosphere were all good, and they even handled a couple of special requests with no issues at all.
The "fresh catch of the day" is offered in any of five different styles. I opted for Grouper,
"Cajun Key West"; cajun seasoning, citrus seared, with a salsa of pineapple, mango, and strawberry... an excellent choice. We also also did Manicotti plus meatballs (I’m told they were delicious), Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and chicken, Honey Goat Crispy Chicken, Fettuccine with grilled Chicken, and another fresh catch of the day as Halibut “Beurre Blanc”; sautéed with a white wine lemon butter caper sauce. We topped all that off with great desserts. Everyone was VERY happy with their choices in food as well as our choice in restaurants!
We’d gladly do it all again. VERY ENJOYABLE !! Thank you !!"
