Rosemarino D Italia - Alexandria

This Italian restaurant has a cozy feel with sleek black chairs and wooden tables. They go all out for Christmas with lights and garlands all over the space. The meal starts with complimentary bread and oil to start. The bruschetta was delicious with a perfect crunch. I had the carbonara and would highly recommend it! They also had a wide selection of holiday drinks and custom cocktails. The service is slow, so I'd recommend being ready to order immediately.

The food is delicious. The servers are nice. The ambience is better than most Del Ray places.

Absolutely loved it! The food was perfectly cooked and was great portion sizes (we split a meal, and it was enough with appetizers and all). The service was friendly and seemed caring about our experience. The restaurant itself is a small little spot but the ambiance was perfect for the food type and experience. The only thing that was not as perfect, and I'm being critical, was the limoncello seemed not fresh.. as it was store bought and was just ok.. fresh limoncello at a nice Italian spot is a must! The wine selection was small-ish as well. Otherwise great cocktails! Will definitely be going back and definitely recommend it!

What a cute vibey Italian spot in del ray! So glad and lucky we found this place. We didn't need any reservations on a weekend and were seated right away. I was pleasantly surprised at the prices of the food - all very reasonable ($20 for a plate of pasta), when the places are $25-30! I ordered calamari for an appetizer which came with a delicious spicy marinara, and the carbonara pasta for my entree. The pasta was so creamy, flavorful, but did not leave me feeling bloated afterwards. It was the perfect amount of savory. They also had a really good selection of drinks and cocktails, and I got the peach bourbon. Absolutely wonderful meal and experience here! Will be back for affordable Italian :)

A pasta place that we wanted to love but left desiring more. We had the mushroom appetizer to start. It was cooked perfectly with a nice pan sauce.The entrees really missed the mark for the neighborhood, even a pizza by the slice joint could have done better. The chicken Parmesan was over-broiled. No one want likes tough chicken devoid of juice. It's like someone cooked it for the first time with 2 spoons of marinara on top. Dry is an understatement. The spaghetti was cooked al dente and had a bite, which was its only saving grace.The love had the risotto but they used cream. Basically boiled rice that was tossed in cream sauce. Cheese depth was limited. Flavor was just salted heavy cream.This place I may try again but doubtful.

This missed restaurant was gone for a while then came back with a renovation and new menu. Unfortunately, the menu and portions had changed from what made this place better than other bland establishments in Del Ray. Keep the new decor but please bring back the previous menu choices and larger portion size.

Re-opened with a totally revamped vibe, Rosemarino brings solid Italian food to the Avenue with exceptional service. Nestled right along Del Ray's Mt Vernon Ave, Rosemarino is now open again following a brief closure for COVID. The newly renovated interior is fresh and welcoming, offering an opened up space that brings a flavor of DC modern dining to this true-to-the-neighborhood property. Definitely get the fried mozz to start, and any of their pasta dishes. I'm a sucker for their gnocci. And their bar and libations offerings pair well with the food. For a great Italian dinner with a hometown feel (but still a clean, upscale dining room), check out Rosemarino's for your next dining out!

Business dinner for 10. Mid week. Everything excellent. Hope to come back soon. I had the veal. So good.

We were looking for a nice Italian restaurant before our flight out of DCA (11 min drive away). Read the reviews and it was as good as promised. Wonderful atmosphere, food was fantastic and the server was great as she knew we had to catch a flight. Calamari and fried mozzarella was amazing as were the main dishes with the fresh pasta. Thought the portions were right on. We will be back!

I flew in to visit a friend and this was our first stop for dinner, it was 10/10 and a perfect introduction to the city. The menu was perfect and I had a hard time deciding was to get! I got a seafood pasta dish, I can't remember the name but it was delicious! The service was quick and everyone was so friendly! I would love to come back to Alexandria and go here again!
