Small gem on main St in Clinton. Paul ,owner and chef, is very friendly and a great cook. The food is locally sorced from the area. The motzerella cheese is the best I've ever had. We got some of his Red pasta sauce which he makes fresh daily Home made rolls are delicious crisp crust and soft inside. Thanks for a great dinner. Frank

An incredible meal. The restaurant is Cozy and low key. The food is sensational. We were welcomed by both Marie and the chef. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was the perfect blend of tang and sweet, truly perfection. My husband’s steak was delicious. The owner bakes all the pastries and all I can say is WOW. Best cannnoli I have ever had. We tried a few different deserts and they were all fantastic. I’ll end the way I started; an incredible meal!!!!

$50 for one plate of pasta and one house salad ( a bowl of lettuce) is just insane. Then getting questioned to use the bathroom as if we didn’t just eat there was a bit odd. There is no service, but they still expect a tip on top of the bill as if they had waited on you. To be clear, they don’t even serve you silverwear. you have to go pick up paper plates and plastic utensils yourself. I’m fine with that, but don’t expect a 20% tip if i have to get up for every thing that i need. Food is decent. Nothing crazy.

This little Italian restaurant feels like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home. It’s unpretentious, and has a small town-intimate feel with about 5 tables in the restaurant.
The menu is filled with authentic home-style Italian meals. Everything was delicious- from the bread, to the rice balls, and the chicken cutlets. The red sauce and pasta were fantastic, and the side of zucchini alone was incredible. This restaurant feels like they are sharing their old family recipes with you.
The pastries were the perfect way end to the meal. Home-made cannoli, both the shell and the filling made daily. Without a doubt the best I’ve eaten. I should have ordered some to bring home, along with the sfogliatelle.
This restaurant is truly a gem. And while the food is served on paper plates or take out containers- it just makes it easier to bring whatever leftovers you may have home with you.

Wonderful food in a unpretentious restaurant. This family restaurant does serve all their food on disposal plates or to go containers but you would be making a mistake if that stopped you from enjoying the amazing food and pastries. We will. Be back again!

A few of my friends and I had dinner at Rosemarie’s last night. Chef Paul and his wife Marie were so nice and very accommodating with our requests. The food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is very relaxed. We will definitely be back!

You have to try this restaurant. I can't say enough about the food. Personal twist on Italian classics. All the food we ordered was creative, fresh and very tasty. Will definitely be back to try everything.
Parking: Parking is spotty. It's downtown Clinton so you never know.

Marie and Chef Paul catered the desserts for my grandmother's birthday. They were so generous with their time (made everything fresh to ensure it was perfect) and food (added extra cookies and chocolates to make sure we had enough), and the quality was amazing. Best cannoli and sfogliatelle we've ever had! They made my grandmother's birthday a day to remember, cannot recommend enough.
Absolutely incredible! Food was phenomenal! Picture doesn't do it justice, my son was swinging the bag! xD sfogliatelle was out of this world! I saw some people complain that certain meals were served in to go containers but I seriously had zero issues with that as it was needed anyway! 🤣 I appreciate that!

Loved this place. Food was excellent, fresh and plentiful. Ask Chef to do the hot rolls with garlic and olive oil. I could have happily had those and a salad and been stuffed. Didn’t mind eating from a take out container since there was so much food we would have needed it anyway. I don’t think the place is big enough to have a professional dishwasher, hence the disposables; I did notice recycle bins. Desserts were awesome and I didn’t even want any! All made by the owner. When does she sleep?? 16 seats, so make reservations. BYOB. The unhappy DH who gave a one star review is, uh, mistaken (being oh-so-polite because I want this review to be posted). Can’t wait to go back.
