I am so thrilled Rosemary's is finally open in their Midtown location! I live nearby, and their arrival feels like a breath of fresh air for the dining scene in the area. The interior is absolutely gorgeous, and I felt instantly transported to vacation in Italy. No details were spared, making the overall aesthetic perfect. The patio and windows that completely open up to the outside are such a nice touch. I can't wait for plenty of spring and summer nights here. Restrooms were also immaculately clean, checked routinely, and they even have changing tables, which is rare in the area.
Fortunately, I made it just in time for happy hour from 4-6 where they're offering wine for $7, spritzes for $9 and beer for $6. The spritz was a nice take on an aperol spritz and very popular while I was there. Plus how perfect is the rosemary sprig at Rosemary's? They have a very nice selection of cocktails, wine, beer and mocktails, so everyone is sure to be pleased.
One thing that is unique about the food options at this location is that they offer an all inclusive option for the table for $39/person for antipasti, pasta of your choice & dessert. This price is a steal, and I will definitely be ordering it next time. I appreciated that their menu has some of the favorites from the other Rosemary's locations while also having some new items specific to this location. I opted for the rigatoni and grilled asparagus side. The rigatoni is a little different from their other locations, which serve it with a creamier vodka sauce. This is an arrabbiata sauce, which is a bit chunkier, but I think I actually prefer it since it was not as heavy and was very fresh. The spice is minimal. It's a great pasta for spring. The noodles were perfectly al dente and complimented by the burrata. The grilled asparagus was also fantastic. I appreciated that they were thinner pieces and well cooked with a nice char. The crispy Parmesan on top added a nice saltiness. They also offer appetizers, salads, pizzas, and meat entrees. There are plenty of vegetarian options and gluten free pasta as well.
Service was great and almost made me feel like I was at a home dinner party. I can't wait for many more dinners so close to home here in the future and looking forward to their future lunch/brunch service additions. It's the perfect spot for a post-work drink, date night, to catch up with a friend or even solo dining. Absolutely check out Rosemary's for a fantastic cocktail, happy hour & dinner in Midtown!
