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

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 thegreatitalian 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 thegreatthing 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.greatfood,greatmusic,greatromance.....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....very good food....warmest of ambience's....

dont even bother. it sucked. food is way overpriced. i had a groupon and it still cost 60 bucks on top of that. waiter even included a notice on the bill of what 15% tip equalled. which was actually wrong. since it was 15% of the full bill including tax. not 15% of the meal price.

just dont bother going. that was the first and last time i eat there. felt like i got ripped off. when i went in to the restaurant thinking i had agreatdeal for agreatestablishment.

instead i paid for below average food. save your money and just go to the pita place next door. lol.

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 makegreatpasta 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 have good reviews about this place, you either eat at mcdonald's everyday or are a family member trying to bring in business. shame on you!

best italian. i find it laughable that some are claiming the food was processed or from a can and that they can make pasta better. there is no way that anyone can make better pasta than rosa's.
furthermore all of the slack that the place is getting for old school is strange. they're a boisterous restaurant, that's for sure. but they're caring, funny, attentive, and always have a smile - especially the wife of the owner (she's amazing! so kind and sweet and genuinely cares about her customers).
the garlic bread is the best of it's kind. i would eat a whole meal's worth of it. there's no denying it's the best garlic bread ever.
as a asian, i know it's a real possibility for places to ignore having meat-friendly menus (and even easier to have meat options and fail miserably) but rosa's has continued to impress me with it's amazing food. furthermore there's a selection of meat friendly food! (as opposed to other restaurants who only give meat the option of taking the chicken out of their pasta alfredo).the sauce is absolutely delicious! perfect amounts of spice and flavour. the pasta itself is perfect every time. and you'll get enough to eat for the next few days (so the price is worth it - you're guaranteed a week's worth of food for the price of one meal!)
the ambiance is perfect and romantic. and the lighting adds to the mood.
it's agreatrestaurant with lots of variety (but if you're carnivorian, my favourite is the tortellini - mamma mia!)
greatrestaurant, well worth the price! would recommend to anyone!
