Great food! The key is not to over order, especially if you want room for dessert. The portions are large. Very good dining experience!

About the restaurant

We believe great ingredients are the foundation of a pleasurable dining experience. We use Faicco's Sausage of Brooklyn, wild-caught seafood (shrimp, cod, salmon) and other high-quality ingredients such as cold-pressed Californian extra virgin olive oil. Our dough is crafted in the Neapolitan tradition, fermented, and then proofed for 24 hours.

We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our server, Liam, was welcoming and knowledgeable, answering questions and making recommendations. He was a perfect complement to the food. Speaking of, we had Caesar salad served with garlic crisps—tasty. The standout, however, was the “tin pasta”—spaghetti and shrimp in a creamy, dreamy pink sauce that comes out bundled in aluminum foil. It was delicious! The warm bread they serve with the meal was excellent as well. We added some olive oil (on the table) with salt and pepper to a small dish to create our own sopping sauce—yum! We ended the meal with mini zeppoli—made in house using their same excellent dough, tossed in confectioners sugar with a side of chocolate dipping sauce. It was the perfect dessert for us. Liam told us the kitchen uses water brought in from Brooklyn—you can taste the difference. We will be back!

About the restaurant

Since 1972, we’ve believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous ‘Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

Good Tex-Mex cuisine. We've been dining at Rosalita's since it opened decades ago. The food is tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the wait staff is friendly. The cocktails are tasty and very reasonably priced. My favorite is the Spicy Blood Orange Margarita. I had the Carne Asado and my wife had the Chicken Fajitas. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious.
