My main criticism about Rosie's had always been about the inconsistency. However, I will now attest that haven't had a bad meal at Rosie's in about 5 years.
Although Italy has over 4700 miles of coastline, I've never thought of sea food as being a particularly prime component of Italian cuisine. That said, at Rosie's, I usually order the "Fresh Catch of the Day." Choose your fish (today I picked grouper), choose your cooking style (for me, "Cajun Key West," a mix of milder Cajun spices and tropical fruits/citrus always satisfies). It comes with fresh veggie medley. The sizing is perfect...I'm always satiated, but never stuffed.
Of course Rosie's has pasta, and meal salads, and steaks, and lamb chops, and pizza, etc. I'm a pizza guy, big time, and I've never thought Rosie's pie was that divine. My kids have always like it, though. Also the 'Hot Mama Bread?' Never understood why its so popular.
The atmosphere is classic, especially the patio...long live Prince Rogers Nelson.
This isn't where I come for craft beer, but the bar area is also a nice place to hang out for appetizers and drinks.
The service is usually great, with Sheldon being, probably, the most professional waiter in this town.
Four stars...almost five.
