I agree with the other review. Not sure the negative reviews are all about... the food is good and service was as well. Went here for lunch and everything was delicious.
Recently went here for a late Vanlentine's Day dinner. We used a Groupon and our meals included 2 of the following: Appetizers, Pasta course, Mains and desserts. The mussels were cooked beautifully and very fresh. The pasta was penne a la vodka with panchetta. It was cooked to a perfect al dente and the sauce was over the top amazing. By the time the mains came we were both stuffed. The dessert was my favorite course. It was cappuccino and creme brule. The service was exceptional and very friendly. The only call out to make is that your tip is included on your bill and they charge it based on the original cost of all the items and still charge the HST as well. I was charged $47.47 on taxes and gratuities which is very ridiculous when my bill was only $24.87 for 2 drinks as I had already purchased a groupon. I asked the Manager and he said this was their policy. Groupon has been contacted about this issue and has refunded my purchase as this is is bad practice on the restaurants behalf.
Good Authentic Italian Eatery. Great food,even better service,this is a good Italian Restaurant,a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.....
Dunno what all the negative reviews are about. Food and service was excellent. We went with a groupon and we enjoyed our dinner very much!! Can't wait to be back for their regular menu!!!!
An Amazing Evening.. Saturday evening, my wife and I were celebrating our 3rd anniversary. Needless to say, I had to show her a grand time. My friends suggested that I take my wife Rosa's Place, they had been there many times before and had nothing but good things to say about it.
My wife is very finicky when it comes to special occasions. The mood had better be right.....There's nothing like walking into a place to the sounds of the Moonlight Sonata, right away, she smiled. We were seated promptly by the owner no less, even though the restaurant was very busy. Bonus, she smiled again, and grabbed my hand. Quickly after, the waiter was asking what we would like, a very pleasant fellow, Sami.. I had "Pappardelle con le Verdura"....wow...., she ordered the Vitello, and penne alla vodka....she was very impressed....By the end of the night both of us were beginning to realize that this would be, and was, one of the most romantic nights of our lives. Rosa's Place is absolutely a grand time. EXCEPTIONAL.
By Far One of the Best Dinning Experiences. I was a little concerned when we scored a Groupon for this place that we would be treated like a discounted customer, but the moment we stepped into the door we were treated like we were the mayor of Toronto. Now I may not be the pickiest fine dinner but everything about this place struck home for me. The staff were incredibly professional yet at the same time extremely down to earth. We shared many laughs with them and felt completely relaxed and valued as their clientelle.
The food was everything I could have hoped for. We partook in some antipasto which was a beautiful mix of fresh ingredients with fine bread to boot. Their table wine was rich and full of flavour. They even gave us complimentary martinis.
They had a live piano player who performed tastefully and even was open to chat in between sets. By the end of the night we felt like regulars more than just customers.
I suppose if one is extremely picky and wants to be treated like a king the staff's lighthearted warmth might come off as inappropriate but for this guy and his wife it made us feel like we fit in with the classy delicious food and atmosphere.
Saving up our pennies to go back and would tell everyone to go! Absolutely bested my expectations.
Best Italian. I find it laughable that some are claiming the food was processed or from a can and that they can make pasta better. There is NO WAY that ANYONE can make better pasta than Rosa's.
Furthermore all of the slack that the place is getting for old school is strange. They're a boisterous restaurant, that's for sure. But they're caring, funny, attentive, and always have a smile - especially the wife of the owner (she's amazing! So kind and sweet and genuinely cares about her customers).
The garlic bread is the best of it's kind. I would eat a whole meal's worth of it. There's no denying it's the best garlic bread ever.
As a asian, I know it's a real possibility for places to ignore having meat-friendly menus (and even easier to have meat options and fail miserably) but Rosa's has continued to impress me with it's amazing food. Furthermore there's a selection of meat friendly food! (as opposed to other restaurants who only give meat the option of taking the chicken out of their pasta Alfredo).The sauce is absolutely delicious! Perfect amounts of spice and flavour. The pasta itself is perfect every time. And you'll get enough to eat for the next few days (so the price is worth it - you're guaranteed a week's worth of food for the price of one meal!)
The ambiance is perfect and romantic. And the lighting adds to the mood.
It's a great restaurant with lots of variety (but if you're carnivorian, my favourite is the tortellini - mamma mia!)
Great restaurant, well worth the price! Would recommend to anyone!
After 30 years at Finch and Arrow road, Rosa’s Place has made the move to Vaughan to the corner of Langstaff and Weston road. Rosa’s is a fine dining atmosphere that is a great place to host all of life’s special events or to just enjoy a nice dinner or lunch. Rosa’s Place serves up lots of traditional Italian appetizers and entrees, and then some. You can enjoy Italian traditional soups like, Minestrone, Pasta Fagioli and Straciatella, and they also serve some classic appetizers like Oysters Rockefeller.
Rosa’s serves up lots of time-honoured Italian pasta dishes and pizzas, but they really do the Carne e Pesce dishes very well. You can enjoy from a few choice cut of steaks, to lamb and veal dishes, or if you feel so inclined you can enjoy a mixed carne plate. Their seafood dishes also delight. They have a simple grilled salmon and also a few gamberi(shrimp) dishes and the coup de grace is a beautiful baked Chilean sea bass. To accompany all these dishes, you have an excellent Wine List to choose from. So come on down and enjoy Rosa’s famous hospitality right here in the heart of Vaughan!
It's a very cozy romantic place, the pace is slow but if you have an evening out with your significant other, I would highly recommend it!
Their pasta was absolutely delicious. Overall, a great dining experience and they offer a Groupon menu that is 4-5 courses which was amazing from start to end.
A warm, classy, romantic place with a wonderful ambience. The service is top notch with waiters who are attentive and charismatic; they always seem to be there a split second before you need them. It's also remarkably refreshing to see a sharp, organized, and very articulate Maître D' who keeps things moving; I noticed he even had all his reservations memorized. The food was sufficiently delicious and cooked well. I'll definitely come back here when I get the chance.
The food was absolutely delish! I dont understand the negative reviews unless I just happened to go on the right night.
The food was served piping hot, service was excellent, the piano man was great, the ambiance and over all experience was great
Food was good and service is great. The server is very humble. Cozy private place.
Great place for small elegant events! We hosted an intimate birthday party here and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We found the meal prices to be reasonable, including the drinks. The setting is clean, elegant and welcoming. Great for kids too! Shirley Temples offered for the kids and kids meals for small appetites. My daughter's balloon drifted to the ceiling and the staff didn't miss a beat it to rescue it for her without neglecting their other guests. The staff made everything easy for us and we were able to enjoy ourselves.
Excellent food. Baby grand piano to further the ambiance, good wine selection and attentive staff. The recently new chef has turned things up a notch and there is a noticeable improvement in the flavour and quality of the food. Thank you Rosas Place. We will be back!
