Food was awesome! We will be back. Only complaint was our table was sticky....they need to clean tables better or reseal them. We ordered house salad, tomato pie and eggplant Parmesan! All delicious

We love Rosie's but unfortunately our family celebration wasn't optimal this visit - sun was terrible and no blinds to shade half of our guests . - continue to remind staff for drink refills - salads were slow and brought out at the same time as entrees - one meal was forgot and the guest had to wait another 10 minutes

Rosie's has the best staff! So kind and respectful to each other and of course, their customers too. Great food! I'm a big fan of all the pasta and pizza options—yummy!!!

Our family went on a Friday night for dinner. It wasn't busy when we got there, but it was very busy by the time we left. Both of my sons had pizza, and they said they were very good. Nothing was left of either one. ? My husband got the Stromboli and said it was delicious. I got the rigatoni with vodka sauce and added meatballs to it. It was delicious! I am Italian and very picky when eating Italian food out. This was delicious and I would definitely get it again. Service was very good as well. We will definitely be back!
If you accept 7:45pm (and later) reservations, you should plan to accommodate diners at their table for at least 90 minutes, if not more. The restaurant closed at 9pm, and we felt completely rushed to leave. Our waitress brought our dessert at the same time as our last round of food at 8:45pm. The gelato was completely melted by the time we finished the lasagna bites and could move onto dessert. It was frustrating, awkward, and left us feeling frazzled. It was an expensive dining experience, and I wish the service reflected that.

Food was very good, highly recommend the rigatoni with meatballs! Service was a little slow and they were out of ingredients for probably 50-60% of their cocktails, hence 4 stars and not 5. Would go back though.

I've been wanting to try Rosie's for a while, it was recommended by several friends, and we finally went last night prior to a Broadway show at the Aronoff. The food was good but not fantastic (we had eggplant parm, gnocchi, meatballs, and the carbonara. Pepp & Delores > Rosie's IMO), the most disappointing part was honestly the service. Everyone was polite but we had a 6 PM reservation for a 7:30 PM show, and it was pretty slow due to how busy the restaurant was. It was 12 minutes between sitting at our table and our server coming to our table for the first time to get our drink order. And even then it was only because I was practically staring at the server until she came over. Normally, I don't mind a leisurely meal but with a show, we were rushing to get out and over to the theater. If you are going before an event, I'd plan for more than 90 minutes.

Phenomenal food and great atmosphere. Loved the ability to slide open the garage doors and drop the shades. Street noise was slightly annoying but that is typical downtown Cincinnati

Visited Rosie’s Italian Kitchen.
Cannot believe it took us so long to check it out. Our server Austin gave very good suggestions and everything was outstanding ! We had the Arancini and Fried Lasagna bites to start and then the Honey Pie! Perfect blend of sweet heat . We also split the Cannoli Cookie with a scoop of vanilla gelato . Forgot to get a photo as we dug right in. We also met the Manager Alex and Kitchen Manager Victor who were so welcoming and made us feel like family . Already planning when we can go back !

Very good service! Gnocchi all one flavor but very good. Chicken parm is perfect. Good music and cool decor inside
Our first time visit to Rosie's was delightful! It's a cute place without pretense. The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive and knowledgable. The food was excellent! I appreciated the server's tip that the chicken parmesean is delicious and a huge portion and to plan to take at least half of it home. We did. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic dinner. Really large portions. We split fried lasagna bites, baked ziti with meatballs and chicken Parmesan. Took home at least half of our meal. Chad was an exceptional server, with lots of great recommendations. The rest of the staff were really nice and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Service was good. Food was just ok. Salmon was undercooked and had to be sent back. Chicken parm was covered with too much sauce. Pizza was solid. Price was very fair. Drinks were solid.

We got the lasagna bites and potatoes to share, and we cleaned the plate clear. The rigatoni vodka was heavenly, and I had enough to take some home. The baked ziti was huggge, and could be added to the secondis in my opinion. The potatoes were definitely the top choice for all of us. I love this place! The staff is amazing, each table has an adjustable light, and it's always such a wonderful experience. We always make a reservation just to be safe!
