Rosaria's on Third Street

I am not easily impressed but Italian food and Rosaria's exceeded my expectations. The goat cheese arancini were immaculate - unlike anything I'd had before! We tried the muscles which is not a go to for me or my friends but we were blown away by how good they were - the subtly spicy flavor in the sauce was unique and kept us snacking on them. Chef Victor nailed every dish. Would absolutely recommend!

The ambiance at Rosaria's is great! I loved the atmosphere and the style of the restaurant. Our server was just okay but was not bad. The food was pretty average! The best part was the arancini. I could have eaten 30! My husband loved the italian stromboli and we added the hot pepper mix to it. I thought it was just okay. I enjoyed the house bread and side salad. My main dish was a restaurant week gnocchi feature and it was not very good. Just didn't have a ton of great flavor and the gnocchi was undercooked. Excuse the half eaten plates as I forgot to take pictures beforehand. Overall it was just an okay experience and we will go back to give it another shot but I was not as impressed as I am with their sister restaurant, Rosie's. I did email a manager about some aspects of our experience and he was very kind and offered us something to make up for it! I always appreciate good management and that is why we will give them another shot.

So this is our second time at Rosaria's with the same outcome. The lamb appetizer was amazing but the Italian dishes were lack luster. The service was average and the ambiance was somewhat confusing. Tonight the live music was a guitarist and a violin. The selections were classical which doesn't go with the vibe of the restaurant. If you are looking to impress your dining guests, keep looking as this place is just "ok". Ciao

Stopped in for a quick bite with the girls. Drinks were great and we split a mama bread with pepppers and the feta dip. Highly recommend!!!

An update: Rosaria's is now offering a lovely Sunday brunch! There are some really solid choices, along with some odd misses that I hope will improve over time. I would suggest avoiding the breakfast sausage, which felt more boiled than griddled, and the avocado toast, which is a massive miss with wet burrata on top of wet avocado, covered with a wet egg and an odd and unnecessary heavy drizzle of balsamic glaze. Instead, I would double down with an order of the delightful ricotta pancakes, covered in fresh fruit with a side of honey... and the eggs in purgatory which could have used some more aggressive seasoning but is otherwise a perfect dish.There are a lot of breakfast AND lunch items to choose from, along with brunch cocktails and even live music. The vibes are right, the prices are reasonable for the quality of food, and the atmosphere is just elevated enough to take your special someone out for a morning date, or to impress your friends with a great change of pace.Long story short, Rosaria's continues to impress.

So I'm a BIG fan of Rosie's, so when I hear that they opened another restaurant when we moved back to the area I had to try it!I went out with my girlfriends and the food was of course amazing!We ordered the mamas bread, because is a Rosie's restaurant and they're known for it - always amazing!Then I noticed the menu was quite different. You order your main protein and then you choose the style in which you would like it cooked and with different accoutrements. They had different pasta dishes and such but I was really interested in this new menu. I had the halibut with the mango chutney style flavor. It was so flaked and cooked to perfection!Awesome spot and amazing food.

8-31-24We enjoyed the patio seating and the attentive service of Haylee, but our salad and chicken parm were just ok. Nothing special.

Great food, service, and music. Would highly recommend. Don't forget the mama's bread.

Fish didn't taste fresh. Bland. The restaurant seems to be going downhill based on our last few experiences. Really expect more for the price. Original Rosie's is much better imo.

Food was excellent. Oyster special is good only at the bar. Service was slightly slow due to lack of staff. Same in most restaurants lately
