So happy we found this place! Have been maybe 3 or 4 times and it's great each time! The ricotta toast is simply epic. Best appetizer hands down!! The spaghetti and meatballs is also delicious!!!

Overall we had a wonderful meal at Rosie's. The salmon oreganata was delicious- perfectly cooked salmon, tender and flavorful. My husband had the rigatoni vodka. The pasta was cooked well and sauce had pleasant warmth from the chilis. We also had the crispy potatoes which were also quite good. Everything was portioned well and we're both full by the end (still had room for a scoop of vanilla gelato though- definitely recommend). We will be adding Rosie's to our rotation of Cincy date nights.

I am not stingy with 5 stars for a vibe but these days I frequently disappointed in a meal out. Not the case at Rosie’s, I thoroughly enjoyed a solo work dinner but it’s a lovely place to share a meal as well. The atmosphere is playful and inviting but not too casual, although I did wear my work clothes with sneakers for an early weeknight bar dinner, it’s also a place I wouldn’t feel out of place in a nice dress with my husband for a weekend dinner. Come as you are elevated.Madison at the bar was wonderful, patient, and made great recommendations. I also gave her the wrong card and the bar staff was friendly about voiding and re-doing my bill.I ordered: a glass of Chianti, well chosen, palatable, would go well with anything on the menu.Garlic knots - huge plate too much for one person but tasty, quality.The Amish chicken piccata-(also too much for one person but Madison said it reheats well) SO GOOD. I would normally glaze over a chicken dish but it was recommended and for good reason. The Amish chicken was cooked to perfection, sauce was excellent, and it was topped with a gorgeous arugula salad and somehow thinly sliced and lightly fried lemons that just put the whole dish over the top for me. I think about this meal a lot and am trying to recreate it. Bravo Rosie’s, I will talk about your chicken picatta to anyone who will listen.

Great restaurant located in the center of Cincinnati, excellent service and awesome food, outstanding overall service! Our family loves it, highly recommend! Will definitely coming back!
Very Dissappointed. This was my second dining experience here. The first time was excellent. This time we were celebrating my husband's 65th birthday with our adult.children. The waiter forgot to bring two drinks to the table and we had to we ask for them. They brought our entrees out and when I asked about our appetizers, he said he forgot to write them down. So we skipped the appetizers. Not once during the meal did he inquire if we wanted another drink. He was extremely slow in servicing our table and bringing our check. He knew we were celebrating a special occasion but made no effort to be attentive or make the occasion special or memorable.

Food was amazing and service was really good. The vibe was really nice, everyone was super friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Will for sure check out their other locations, I think crown cantina is next!

Tiny spot with big flavor. I love the broccolini and hot honey pizza. Really perfect and not too stuffy atmosphere.

We had reservations for 5. Chad was our server and he was amazing! We ordered; burrata, Broccolini, mushrooms carbonara, garlic knots, rigatoni vodka, bucatini carbonara, arancini and meatballs. The drinks were also very goodOur favorites were the rigatoni vodka pasta, meatballs, and mushrooms carbonara.The rest of it was pretty good. Nothing was bad. The atmosphere is nice. It’s dimly lit but not too dark. It’s loud but we could easily talk to each other. More of a fun atmosphere.Overall we enjoyed our experience and the server was perfect! Everything was good; I wouldn’t be opposed to going again but probably won’t actively pursue going again. Seems like pretty basic Italian food; wasn’t wowed by any of the dishes

Our table was by the entrance, by the kitchen door, which is okay. The service was great. Chad was very friendly, quick and knowledgeable. The food was OK in my opnion. The only thing I like very much was the meatballs dish.Parking: Street parking is better. But there are some paid parking lot

Rosie’s is everything you want in an Italian restaurant. The staff is attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is energetically charged but still cozy, and the food - omg - the food! The carbonara is unbelievably delicious and the chicken Parmesan is incredible. If you want an all- around impressive dining experience, make a reservation at Rosie’s.
I was soooo excited to go in!The man at the front was SO disrespectful to me!! His tone and attitude was SO off putting! 3/1 near closing.

Fun place. Loud but not deafening. Good service. Dark without being blackened - more romantic than oppressive. Food was good, and surprisingly better as leftovers (portions are big).Parking: Paid lot across the street wanted $20 because of an event at the Aronoff, but metered parking a block away was under $5 for two hours.

Our waitress was so sweet and the wine was delicious. All the appetizers were amazing. And we did try all of them. One out of four pastas was overcooked and the carbonara tasted of liquid smoke. Of all the carbonara I've had, it had a very strange flavor I would not associate with a classic carbonara.

Enjoyed our early dinner at the bar which was very comfortable and enjoyable. Sergio our server was extremely attentive, professional and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We shared a salad which was a very large portion. We age had a pasta dish which was huge and we ended up taking some home as well. The tiramisu for dessert was fabulous.
