Popular but Why

Tha place was packed and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. But everything we had was served in bowls with sauce up to the top and unable to work with the underlying chicken and salmon of the dish. Solid no.

High in quantity, low in quality

As visitors to town, Rosa's was recommended. The service was implecible but the food was poor. The minestrone was lukewarm as if it had not been in the microwave long enough and tasted as if it came from a tin or carton. There was plenty...More

Dinner at Rosa's Italian Restaurant

Friendly, efficient, good food

We were passing through and just looking for a good meal. We found it at Rosa's. It's away from the beach, so wasn't a crowded as the beach restaurants. But the food is quite good and the server was friendly.

Fun, Friendly and Great Food

From the moment we arrived, we were treated by friendly staff. We had to wait a bit for a table on a busy Friday night, but there was a nice courtyard to sit in. We had our dog, and although we planned to leave her...More
