    There is a feeling to this restaurant that you rarely find: you feel welcome, and you know they are sharing something they love with you. The food is first rate, the staff excellent, and it's full of diners of all ages who are obviously enjoying themselves. This restaurant is easy to miss. It doesn't draw much attention to itself: it's in a small business park with subtle signage and inadequate parking - but once you get past that, you find a true treasure. Our dinner began with an Arancini appetizer: delicious, crispy outside, creamy inside. My wife's Lasagna Bolognese had a lot of tomato tang, ample meat, and was richly flavored. My seafood ravioli had a lovely sauce that enhanced and did not overwhelm the delicate seafood. The chocolate ricotta dessert was simply amazing. This is a restaurant that plays close attention to flavor in every dish. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. I've lived nearby for ten years before finally trying it, and it immediately became one of my favorites.

    We had excellent meals at this attractive venue overlooking a park, as usual. My lasagna was as good as any I have ever had. We enjoyed our Sicilian salads, and the cheesecake for dessert was delicious. The servers are always friendly and efficient. Rosina is a gracious host, as is her son, Giancarlo.

    Exceptional Italian food and reasonable price! Daily soup with root vegetables was very good. We tasted the best short ribs. The seafood pasta had very fresh seafood and well taste. The complimentary bread and olive dip was a hit in our family. Tiramisu to end the meal was the best way to finish the meal!

    The employees were very attentive and didn't leave us wanting for anything. We were serviced by a total of four employees. The Saltimbocca was excellent! I can highly recommend this dish. The Arancini was very good. The red pepper soup of the day was just OK. The Fettucine Mare e Monte is my go to dish at Italian restaurants. I'd can't recommend this dish at Rosina's.

    I've been to Rosina's many times and always enjoy the food, atmosphere and service. The previous times we've always sat in the main dining room or the patio. This last time we sat in the additional dining room. While this area was spacious, it didn't have the same warm feel of the main dining area. It felt like more of a hotel conference room. The food and service were stellar so all in all we had a nice experience.
