Excellent vibes, great food, best in EP in my opinion !! Out of this world hand made and prepared dishes. I would recommend the Baked Cod, Mozambique Calamari and sandwiches. I am not family, or paid (maybe they should pay mešŸ¤”), just an occasional patron but the food is excellent šŸ‘ŒšŸ» and most importantly, my kid loves their seafood dishes especially their signature Baked Cod.

We had lunch at Rosa’s because my father saw the write up on an insert in the Bristol Phoenix. The food and service were fantastic. I highly recommend this hidden gem. I would have added a photo, but there was no food left!

Our first time at Rosa's Tavern. We ordered Mozzarella Moons, Fettachini Alfredo and Chicken Francaise. Everything was delicious. My husband could not keep his fork out of my Chicken Francaise. We will be dining here again.

Excellent place all around. We live in Attleboro, it's nice to find Portuguese food other than Fall River, New Bedford or Providence. Definitely will be going again.

From the moment we walked into Rosa's Tavern, we knew we were in for a treat. The service was truly excellent, and our server, Toni, was an absolute gem. She was so friendly and welcoming that we instantly felt like part of the family—it made our evening incredibly enjoyable.
We decided to make our meal an appetizer tour, and none of our choices disappointed! The calamari was a standout, perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The clams were also fantastic, cooked just right with a wonderful texture. And let me tell you about the shrimp in the shrimp Mozambique—they were huge and cooked to perfection. Even the mozzarella moons, a classic, were great.
Here's a pro tip: definitely ask for the Mozambique sauce for dipping with your mozzarella moons instead of the marinara. While their marinara is delicious, the Mozambique sauce takes it to a whole new level!
We can't recommend Rosa's Tavern highly enough. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for amazing food and service that goes above and beyond. We're already planning our next trip 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Other than being a little outdated, I found my time at Rosa's to be quite enjoyable.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. šŸ˜„ 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. .
