I am so thankful I had the opportunity to eat at Rosemarie Cucina‘s wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious, the service and genuine care were distinct from all the other restaurants I’ve ever visited. I’ve never left a review before ever and simply because of the wonderful experience I felt compelled to share and encourage others to give Rosemarie Kachina’s a try you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I had the most wonderful time at Rosemarie's Cucina when we visited for the first time this past Saturday! The food from start to finish was perfect! You can see Chef Paul preparing everything while you wait! The homemade, warm, delicious rolls were a wonderful start! We shared the Mozzarella Frito as an appetizer. My husband had the Pesto Grilled Chicken Pizza and I had the Gnocchi and Chicken in a Pesto Sauce. We also shared a piece of homemade, delicious chocolate cake for dessert! Everything we ate was delicious! It was so much food that we took half of it home. Not only was the food amazing, the atmosphere was charming and so comfortable. It was like being in Marie and Paul's home kitchen. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in! Marie and Paul were so very friendly and we had such wonderful conversations throughout our dinner! We will definitely be back! If you're reading this review and considering Rosemarie's Cucina, don't wait! Make a reservation and go!

What a great dining experience! This is a fantastic Italian restaurant with delicious and high-quality food made from scratch. Everything, from the lasagnas, to the pizzas, to the desserts, is made there in the restaurant and you can see the restaurant owners preparing everything from scratch and with lots of care. Really lovely service too - we felt very welcome!

The only thing at this restaurant more impressive than Marie and Paul themselves is the food.
After living in Italy for 3 years, I haven't tasted food like this since I left. The meatballs, chicken picatta, and penne with tomatoe sauce were nothing short of fantastic. Right when I thought it the meal couldn't get any better, the cannoli absolutely blew me away.
Marie and Paul catered our 18-person meal on a last minute request without a single issue. They were responsive and personalized the entire dining experience from start to finish.
There are no other options for authentic Italian. Rosemarie's Cucina is the only answer.

Food / service was awesome ! *However, be prepared that you will get your food IN takeout #plastic containers to eat hot food out of !?.. or get paper plates for pizza. Pizza was simple, but good, but would've been much better if offered Whole #Wheat Dough.. was a touch bland, but rolls had a good flavor. The fish entre was fabulous, BUT sat in a pool of butter (high sat fat 😲) that would've dissipated if on a large porcelain plate. Have had takeout before and deserts were also GREAT.

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!
