“We began our meal with an order of focaccia and hummus (served with warm pita bread) -- both were wonderful. My husband had the Mafalde wild boar ragu. I had the vegetarian dish, Gnudi. We were both pleased with our meals. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert so we shared a French Press of coffee. Although not the quickest, our server was sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable.“

“This simple cup of vanilla ice cream will forever be in my heart as a wonderful memory and experience! Coming to Rochester to take our chances at Mayo Clinic was daunting and nerve wrecking. However the people around here (whether in restaurants/ hospitality/ medical) have a way of making you feel comforted and cared for. Pasquale’s pizzeria was an escape from reality and just a breath of fresh air with amazing Italian food, desserts and merchandise galore, a much needed pour of wine, and unexpected conversation with strangers that now seem like best friends. What more could you ask for? I loved being here to eat and enjoy life! It’s a MUST if you come to Rochester! You will not be disappointed :) I honestly can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“This is the best pizzeria in Rochester, hands down. I've eaten here for years, and it's never disappointed. Freshly sliced, liberal amounts of cheese, a crunchy, thick crust with a sweet but not too sweet tomato sauce make this absolutely wonderful pizza. Broasted chicken is great, the jo-jos are better than fries, and their hoagies are next-level good. Service is always pleasant, and there's a wide selection of drinks to choose from. Everything is reasonably priced, and there's booths and arcade machines, so bring your kids along. Overall, one of my favorite spots to grab a bite in Rochester.“

“Enjoyed the food and service so much, we went back two nights in a row. Sat at the bar night one and had the pleasure of Sal as our server night two. Sal’s service was sublime. He anticipated our needs throughout the meal, timed the courses perfectly, and unobtrusively prepped the table in between. The table focaccia must be made in house. Caesar and Terza salads were great as was the mushroom pizza. Great value for the price. We’re in town for one more night; looking forward to making it three in a row.“

“Last week we had been visiting Mayo in Rochester MN. Wanting to get out for a while and fighting hunger pains, Rosati’s Pizza had been recommended. What a pleasant surprise! Absolutely excellent experience from the food to the atmosphere and service! Back to Mayo this week and introduced my brother and sister-in-law to Rosati’s. Another excellent experience!!! Cannot say enough good stuff about them! I definitely am new patron and look forward to my next visit!!!“

“They’ve been open for about a week with a new menu. The staff was super friendly and genuine. We had the beef tenderloin appetizer (not pictured) which was delish, and our meals were shown below. Everything was cooked perfectly (I had walleye and he had a bone in pork chop)…and the mushroom risotto was EVERYTHING. We felt like things were priced on point as well. Would definitely go again.“
