rosa's place

i agree with the other review. not sure the negative reviews are all about... the food isgoodand service was as well. went here for lunch and everything was delicious.

good authentic italian eatery. great food,even better service,this is agooditalian restaurant,a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.....

great!. after hearing so manygoodthings about rosa's place over the years, we finally had the opportunity to go there for our anniversary. it certainly lived up to it's reputation. the food and service was fantastic and the atmosphere was very relaxing. it will definitely be our go to place for special occasions in the future.

went to dinner last night and tried to use my groupon. the owner was rude and obnoxious said i couldn't expect to use a the groupon for a saturday and sunday. i had made a reservation and he said i did not but i remembered the name of person i made the reservation with, he tried to lie and said we did not have a reservation. terrible owner, we begged for a table, the experience was terrible. even though the food wasgoodwould never go back or recommend it to anyone.

an amazing evening.. saturday evening, my wife and i were celebrating our 3rd anniversary. needless to say, i had to show her a grand time. my friends suggested that i take my wife rosa's place, they had been there many times before and had nothing butgoodthings to say about it.
my wife is very finicky when it comes to special occasions. the mood had better be right.....there's nothing like walking into a place to the sounds of the moonlight sonata, right away, she smiled. we were seated promptly by the owner no less, even though the restaurant was very busy. bonus, she smiled again, and grabbed my hand. quickly after, the waiter was asking what we would like, a very pleasant fellow, sami.. i had "pappardelle con le verdura"....wow...., she ordered the vitello, and penne alla vodka....she was very impressed....by the end of the night both of us were beginning to realize that this would be, and was, one of the most romantic nights of our lives. rosa's place is absolutely a grand time. exceptional.

exceptional!! a must visit for italian.. i must say, i have never been as happy visiting a toronto restaurant. and it had nothing to do with the food, which is out of this world. there caprese bufalo is to die for....and that's just the beginning. the fettucini alghero was a perfect symphony of taste.....i just came back from naples, and i must say, it is at par with any of the great italian restaurants in italy. the wait staff is kind quick and very good....it"s no wonder that they have been toronto's landmark for fine italian dining for years. and the great thing about rosa's is even though it's been totally refinished, the food has always remained consistantly outstanding. to top it off, they have there very own liberace, a pianist that is immeasurable in talent. great food, great music, great romance.....how else can you find it easy to impress that one, that few, that many people at once. so believe me when i say that the negative comments above must have been written by a jealous restaurant owner ....very well priced....verygoodfood....warmest of ambience's....

never again!. went to rosa's place restaurant with my family (who came from out of province) to celebrate my daughter's first communion.
our food was served almost 2 hours later and that considering the fact that restaurant was almost empty!!!
my father-in-law scolded the waiter who did seem a bit nervous about the lengthy service situation. something was clearly not working right in the kitchen. it was so obvious after he asked us to change our food choice due to insufficient stock. we did not get our food order together. there were intervals of approximately 20 minutes between each person. one finished and the other one started. food was cold and tasteless. almost as if the meats and fish had only been boiled. i'm italian and make great pasta dishes. as a true connaisseur, i can swear on two things... #1 the pasta dishes with tomato sauce at this place is crap and #2 i will never be back or recommend this restaurant to another living soul.
if you havegoodreviews about this place, you either eat at mcdonald's everyday or are a family member trying to bring in business. shame on you!
