Incredible food , friendly staff. I wish I lived closer. We will be back !!!
Other than being a little outdated, I found my time at Rosa's to be quite enjoyable.
With sandwich month in full swing, I was happy to find another new spot (new to me at least) to grab something tasty while out and about.
Their offering was a chicken parmesan sandwich and fries, to which we added a Caesar salad and a few drinks. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the food. The dining room looked like it had been decorated in the 80s and never updated, the menus were like any other 90's RI Americana restaurant with a heavy emphasis on seafood. However, the delightful service and warm welcome did a lot to get me into the mood.
The salad, bread with dipping oil, and the chicken parmesan sandwich itself were all quite delicious. So many places that give off that homey "old-school" vibe have gone down in quality, but Rosa's still delivers.
I'd happily go back again for a quick bite if I find myself in the area at the right time.

I brought my mom there for her birthday since it had her name (Rosa). 😊 Their steak was so good! 🤤 The sauce was amazing, it had a little kick to it, but it was a good kind of kick. 😄 My mom said it reminded her of the steak from portugal. Definitely worth going. The only thing is I wished it wasn't so cold. The heat would come on but it would throw cold air, but it's good for the summer. That's the only thing other then that it was a good experience.
Parking: It's not that much parking, the parking is in front of the building, but you could definitely find parking around that area of the restaurant.

Visited for the first time during RI FOOD FIGHTS' LORD of the WINGS - We weren’t the biggest fan of the chicken as the flavor seemed off to each of us, almost like a burnt after taste but the service and the drinks were phenomenal.

We went to Rosa’s Tavern with a gift certificate I purchased online because we wanted to find a decent Portuguese restaurant and give business to a restaurant over the 195 East bridge. There were tables that were placed too close to the others, which were all 2 small tables put together. We were the only 2 on a Saturday early afternoon while there were several patrons at the bar. The waitress was also the bartender. My husband ordered a dish with steak, mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes were instant and very runny. The meat was okay. I ordered chicken and I had opted for fried round potatoes and green beans as it was the only vegetable available. I had over 1/2 a plate of the potatoes. I took leftovers home. I ended up throwing the leftovers away because they weren’t reheatable. We will never go there ever again. .

Our first visit. My wife and I went in for lunch. I had the house steak, and she had the Chicken Mozambique. We had the soup of the day, which was chicken noodle. The soup was great, full of flavor and savory. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium as ordered) with superb flavor in the rich, bold sauce, with just the tiniest bit of heat, which was a nice touch. The Portuguese style steak beats out all the other ones I've had in East Providence. Perfect thickness potatoes and buttery carrots. The chicken Mozambique was great, full flavor and savory. Definitely come in and support this establishment. You won't be disappointed. We will be back!

Nice casual restaurant owned by locals. Celeste (delightful) was very attentive, fun to talk to, and made us awesome drinks. We tried the flatbread and shrimp apps. Both were very good!

Decided to stop in on a Thursday night for a quick bite to eat and a drink. Food and drinks were great! Not many places serve food until 10pm and the bar is open until 1. We will be back for sure! Highly recomend!!
