My family took me here to celebrate my birthday this past Saturday, and our overall experience was fantastic. Upon entering, you're met with a vibe that is distinctly Old World Europe- the style is Tuscan-inspired. The dining area beyond the lively bar possesses a certain elegance which is uniquely balanced with the coziness you'd experience in your Grandma's kitchen. We decided to share a bottle Chianti, which was velvety smooth and highly complementary to our pasta dish entrees. I was offered a taste of the wine beforehand to ensure I liked it, which was a very nice touch.Two of us ordered the Penne Vodka, which was delivered al dente to the table- the firmness of the pasta was just right and the pink cream sauce was out of this world. The amount of prosciutto in the dish was excellent- it was not overpowering. My brother-in-law ordered the Fusilli, which he loved, too. Although I do not recall what everyone else ordered, I remember everyone was very happy with their meals! The entrees were served hot and in a timely fashion. The bread was fresh and the glass-bottled water on the table was topped off without me having to ask- the bussers are very hard working people and very on the ball! I was a bit disappointed that our server could not take a picture of our table (we asked him and he said he'd "send someone over because he was busy") but thankfully, the always gracious Rosie eventually made her way over and took the picture for us. Although our server was on point in the accuracy of our orders, I do wish he could have been a bit more helpful when my cousin asked if he had any recommendations. It wasn't a very big deal, but we thought certainly, there must be some dishes he could have spotlighted as "all-time favorites" in particular categories in order to provide some guidance for our hungry party. I am very impressed when a server is able to entice you with the specials or a particular list of dishes that are their personal favorites or popular dishes among patrons.I wish we had left room for dessert, but that just gives us all another reason to visit Rosie's again very soon! The mix of northern and southern Italian fare can't be beat here. If you're on a quest to find a restaurant where you can experience top-notch authentic Italian cuisine, in a non-pretentious and warm, yet chic atmosphere, head on over to Rosie's!
