Rosie’s Italian

Oh my god!!! I don't think I've ever had italian like this. It was purely amazing. We were in town for a Bengals game and were craving italian! The restaurant itself isn't large but that's what makes it feel exclusive. We sat at the bar where we were promptly served by the sweetest bartender. We got the lasagna bites to start they were like literal heaven. I got the Orecchiette Pugliese and it was the best dish I have ever had. It had italian sausage, broccolini and chili topped with parmesan. Not to sound pretentious but I have been to Italy and this was right up there... if not, better :))) My boyfriend got the chicken parm, it was HUGE! He didn't finish it all but he really tried. We ended the night getting lots of recs from our bartender. She was awesome!!I'm always planning another trip to Cincy and it will be centered around Rosie's and another Bengals game! WHODEY!!

I'm mixed about Rosie's Italian Restaurant. I had dinner there last night (Sat. @ 6:00) In a word I would have to say "Value". The food was good but just not a good value. EVERYTHING WAS A BAD DEAL. The $50 a head for dinner 4 beers @7 bucks each and a VERY small appetizer was just a bad deal. I've spent many years in the business and know the economics involved. I'm positive they are buried in a lease and that reflects in the expensive pricing. Pasta is cheap. sauces are inexpensive and cheese is not all that expensive. Everything has basil so you better LOVE basil. The limited menus restricts the overhead costs but yet it's not reflected in the pricing. No bread, served with meals and when I did ask for some I paid 3 bucks for 3 slices that was stale, cold and tasted like it has been sitting out for a while. The restaurant lacks any character you would expect in a Italian restaurant. It is simply overpriced and a poor Value. On street parking, Unisex bathrooms are a HUGE turn off. I believe the ladies need to their space and not have to worry about if the dude who last used the bathroom urinated all over the seat.The place is just another over-priced bistro with $12 6oz wine and 30+ pasta dishes that can be made at home if you can read.There are MANY better Italian restaurants that makes quality food and has a better atmosphere and the food is good but at a reasonable price. We will not be going back and I don't see this restaurant staying long when you don't offer a good value.

I've had Rosie's as a place I've been wanting to try for quite some time and finally got around to doing so, the food doesn't match their decor at all which surprised me , they look like a diner but the food has a very rustic appeal to it , it's just shocking because you think your getting diner food and you get this rustic hearty food that will take you to like a wooden oak old time Italian restaurant feel , the food is soooo good and rich , literally could barely finish after just a few bites it's THAT good My son had the pizza which he clearly likes since he ate the whole thing in one foul swoop , ( it was the honey pie btw)I had the bucatini carbonara which I was a little hesitant because it looked oily and didn't come with the egg as described but it was sooooo delicious. Amazing , not oily at all not greasy at all , the noodles seem to never end they are so thick and hearty , best Italian dish I've tasted by far , and the Parmesan on it was soooo fresh and so good , will definitely be coming here again to try other items with the fam

Rosie's Italian was an all around fantastic experience! We came to celebrate my husband's birthday. I tried the Italian Surfer cocktail and it was delicious! For an appetizer, we tried the fried lasagna bites, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many came in the order. For my entrée, I ordered the gnocchi and my husband ordered shrimp scampi. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. We also had an order of garlic knots. The restaurant was very busy, and they did a great job with still providing great service. I loved that we had a table near the windows, and the tiny lamps on each table is a great touch.

Rosie's has become one of our favorites. Everything is scratch and fresh! Sauces taste slow simmered like little Italy! Dishes are elevated but keep their traditional flair. Cynthia our server was awesome! Tip: there's a romantic alcove that fits two in the back for date night.

You can NEVER go wrong with dining at one of the restaurants in this conglomerate: crown cantina, crown republic, five on vine, or losanti. Everything is always great! Never a complaint. Food is flavorful and nice portions. Service is always friendly and informative, and the ambiance is always great! I love these and look forward to more coming from them.

The food here is so good and so well priced. We got the hot honey pizza as an app and it was soooo good and crispy. The gnocchi with buratta was great and the orecchiette was creamy than expected and we loved it.

Restaurant is cute and cozy... great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food though.. just meh. The salad was so overly dressed and the menu didn't say that there were artichokes, peppers, olives, etc. or I wouldn't have ordered it. We were running on a tight schedule to get to the show, and unfortunately our server didn't return to check on us in a timeframe where I could get something instead so it is what it is. Probably won't be returning any time soon.

Went here months ago, but omg it was amazing! We ran into some traffic then had issues with parking due to BLINK and they were so accommodating and made sure we were still able to be seated. The salad was really good, kind of had a bit of spice to it. The carbonara was the stand out. You could tell the pasta was fresh. This place did not let me down and I understand why it's so hard to get a review!

I didn't know this place existed and I am so glad we tried it. Authentic Italian dishes and drinks that will please everyone. Started with lasagna bites and then eggplant Parmesan which is huge. Leftovers for sure. Others ordered vodka rigatoni shrimp scampi and chicken Parmesan. The atmosphere is open and lively and the bar is adorable It's a fantastic experience
