I was looking for a nice restaurant in Covina and was surprised to see that the team behind Union in Pasadena opened a spot in Covina! I love Union, and I love Northern Italian food - reservation made! My partner asked if I'd looked at the menu, because so many of the dishes looked spicy, but I was like... it's northern Italian, how spicy could it be? So beware that if you're spice-sensitive like I am, your options will be more limited. Ambiance was lovely; we sat inside but there is a nice outdoor patio too. Cocktail menu had creative choices, and the To Peach Their Own was my favorite. Standout dishes: Lumache with lobster and miso cream (ate every last bite!), Torchetti with pork ragu, and the tiramisu with sea salt on top. The stars of the meal! Great: Focaccia - don't skip this to start! Good: Burrata. The peaches were a little underripe and the burrata wasn't as creamy as I expected, but the overall dish was good Service was warm and attentive - the staff took the kampachi off our bill, even though we probably should have googled "togarashi" before ordering. I'm really sensitive to spicy food and it completely overwhelmed the delicate crudo. Overall, it was a lovely date night and I'd absolutely come back! I lived in Covina for a long time and I'm happy to see it get another neighborhood gem. read more

Rosalie was packed on a Thursday evening at 6 which tells you how amazing this place is to so many people. The atmosphere is incredible, however it gets really loud which makes it difficult to hear your dinner guests our server. Our server, Alexa, was outstanding. She was very helpful guiding us to discover the house favorites to order. She was spot on with her recommendations. The food comes out as it is cooked, so everyone's food came at different times, but not that far apart. We prefer this, so the food arrives hot. The corkage fee is $30 a bottle, which we thought was a bit high. However, if you buy one bottle from them, they wave the cost of one corkage fee. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of wine, so I ordered the Pineapple Shorty which I highly recommend! Alexa said it was also a house favorite. For starters we ordered the Focaccia bread which comes with the most delicious house butter. You MUST try this! It was my favorite part of the meal. We also ordered the Gem Salad which had the best butter lettuce I have ever been served at a restaurant. It was crisp and chilled perfectly. I wish the the dressing had a bit more flavor though. Btw, it serves 2-3 people. For entrees we ordered the Torchetti which was amazing. Again, I wish it had a bit more flavor. Another dish we ordered was the Bucatini Casio E Pepe which was loved by all. We would definitely come here again. I really want to try the Campanelle next time. This restaurant is definitely run by a passionate owner. They care deeply about service, quality and all around customer service. I hope they are very successful, so they are around for a long time! Thank you Rosalie for a wonderful meal! read more

The focaccia and butter that came with it were SOOOO good!! All of the pasta dishes were solid, but here's my ranking: 5/5 Torchetti -- You can't go wrong with ragu, and the ricotta on top was sooo good. 4/5 Cacio e Pepe -- A little too salty for me, but the noodles were really good. 3/5 Rigatoni -- The pesto flavor wasn't super strong, but the pistachio and burrata on top were delicious. We were way too full for dessert, but I definitely want to try it next time! The interior is cozy and a little cramped, but not too bad. There's indoor and outdoor patio seating, and when we went on a Sunday, there was a live band playing. Our waiter was also really nice and attentive. He gave us focaccia on the house because he thought our meatball starter was going to take a while. Overall, a really good experience and I'd come back for and focaccia and butter. read more

dineLA menu $55/person (All guests at the table must participate) First visit to Rosalie and had a good experience. Indoor and patio seating are available. Parking is either on the street or in a large public lot next door. DRINKS: Full bar with fresh cocktails and the classics, as well as a decent wine list. Non-alcoholic selections available too. We ordered an Orange Fashioned ($16), a Fric n Frac ($15), and a Lemonade ($5). Unfortunately, they forgot my drink, but my wife's cocktail was well-made and very refreshing. FOOD: We stopped by to take advantage of their dineLA menu (see photos). Rosie waited on us and the service was very good. The prix-fixe menu included a Focaccia, house cultured butter (amazing!), and pickled pepper plate. A choice of starters, a choice of pastas, and Tiramisu for dessert. Rosie and the kitchen did a fantastic job of timing out the courses, and everything had fresh ingredients and was very flavorful. Overall, it was a good first experience. I'm sure we'll be back for more. read more

Missing Italia so I craved for Italian food and thought to check out this place. Here on a Friday night, busy, they take reservations but came as a walk-in. Parking is ample but it could get challenging to find a spot on a Friday night. The place is moderately loud of conversations with music humming in the background. This place is Sicilian-inspired which is piqued my interest. Tired their aperol spritz, a bit heavy on the sweet side 6/10. We sat at the bar, waited for a 15-20 min for someone to finally take our order. The focaccia came with picked bell pepper dip and butter; the bread is so good, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside which complimented the dip so 10/10! We waited for another 30 min for our food to arrive after the focaccia was served. Entrees ordered as follows: 1. Spaghetti & Meatballs: pasta is al dente, the meatballs size is almost a size of my fist! It has a very unique taste, smoky and evenly seasoned, and spice builds up as you chew along. chefs kiss 10/10 2. Torchetti: enjoyable taste, very interesting, the ricotta cheese with fried rosemary on top are the perfect combo, it was a palatable feast 9/10 We did not have a server ask us what else we needed after we got our food or in between which was a let down. read more

I'm thrilled Rosalie is here! Happy to have a charming restaurant in the SGV and not have to travel to LA for such delicious food. The staff were all warm & seemed happy to be there, that's a huge bonus in my book. We were a group of 5 women who ordered a variety of plates, drinks and never felt rushed. A list of what we ordered; focaccia, mushrooms (yum!), English peas (amazing!), Bucatani, rigatoni (yum!), torchetti, NY steak (8/10), Il Pepe and lemon ricotta cake (yum!). I've already told several people about Rosalie and can't wait to return. We sat inside but they also have a quaint patio area with fire pits. read more

Rosalie - All the tasty stuff - Italian Near Me - Covina, California

My friend and I came here for DineLA and I'm so glad we did. I haven't been back since this restaurant used to be Giovanni's. We ordered a little of everything. The focaccia bread and butter, the pesto pasta and the broccolini were my favorite. Everything tasted delicious and made with love. They have a nice wine selection as well. I love the decor inside. The lighting was perfect. The exterior is super cute. I love coming to little gems like Rosalie. read more

This is a northern Italian restaurant with a bit of Asian fusion to it. Located in Covina, there is plenty of free parking nearby less than a few minutes walk to this restaurant. I went here on a Saturday for dinner and it was not too busy, but I made reservations just in case. We got the charred octopus, lumache, campanelle, New York steak, and a red and white wine. The octopus is pretty good - crispy in most parts and chewy in the other parts - very flavorful and further enhanced by the avocado cream. The lumache is solid but a bit high on the price tag as there wasn't much lobster to the dish. I do like the miso that is a bit light and adds a bit of Asian fusion flair to the dish. The campanelle is a little spicy, not too spicy, with fresh shrimp that is chopped into smaller pieces. This one is a bit more hearty. New York steak is good - could be a bit better with the price tag as there was a bit of fat to it that was a bit hard to cut, especially since they gave us butter knives, not steak knives, to eat. Though they gave one steak knife to share which is a bit suboptimal. Service is decent - it is good for a typical restaurant, but for a restaurant at this price point, it could be slightly improved. Water refills are present and they checked up on us a few times. However, the timing for switching plates for the entree was a bit too rushed and the server failed to give us the correct wine order, but this is slightly rememdied as they did not charge for one of the glasses of wine, so that compensated the service a bit. Otherwise, this is a pretty nice Italian spot that stands out with their focus in the northern region and presents a bit of fusion flavors, something that is a little out of the ordinary compared to a lot of Italian restaurants in the greater LA area. read more

Love that there's finally a good Italian restaurant in Covina! Our waitress was kind enough to let us know that there was 6 minutes left to order for happy hour. We decided to try their focaccia, pork meatballs, and broccolini. The yellow corn butter that comes with the focaccia was SOO GOOD! I'd love to learn how to make it. The meatballs were huge and perfect for sharing. I wasn't too fond of the flavor and don't think I'd order it again. Now the broccolini was charred to perfection and the flavors were refreshing. I would highly recommend that dish! For my main dish I went with the torchetti sans pepperoncini. The torchetti was delicious. The pasta was al dente and the burrata with the pork ragu was a nice balance. The serving was generous and I had enough for the next day. I was hoping to try their pizza but the server let us know it was sold out for the day. Overall the ambiance was casual and the server was nice. I would definitely bring my family to try this spot. read more

Delicious cozy restaurant in Covina! Started with the charred octopus & broccolini. Delicious sauce on the octopus and perfect texture. The broccolini had the best pesto sauce as well. Spaghetti with meatballs on the side. Best spaghetti I have ever tasted in my life. Cacio W Pepe. So so good! Lobster pasta-- good. Pizza with pepperoni -- good! 4 layer chocolate cake so good with vanilla ice cream for our bday girl. Service was phenomenal. read more

I had a lovely, delicious experience at Rosalie (Covina). I ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs ($34). It's pork meatballs, amatriciana sauce, fresh pasta, and focaccia bread. DELICIOUS!!And it's A LOT of food! I arrived at Rosalie (Covina) on Sunday (around 5PM). I had used their website to make a 5PM Reservation that same day. The online process felt easy. There's also plentiful parking. Rosalie (Covina) is located near Covina City Hall, the shared parking lot is very big. Staff is professional. They commonly use the phrase "My Pleasure," but Staff felt the most forgettable of the experience. Staff moved quickly, but Staff faded from mind like the wind. My entree arrived within 11 minutes and 22 seconds. Great pace! As mentioned, I ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs ($34). I wholeheartedly recommend!! This dish felt special and thoughtfully crafted. The HUGE, dense pork meatballs were larger than baseballs, yet they're juicy, smokey, and thick. The pasta is soft and freshly made, and dish felt hearty yet fragrant. I had PLENTY of leftovers. In addition, I ordered the Foccacia starter ($14). It's DELIGHTFUL! This bread is so fluffy, and the house cultured butter is so satisfying. Regarding ambiance, Rosalie (Covina) is clean, minimalistic, and comfortable. I appreciated the romantic, slow-tempo music. There's a dining patio and a small interior. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Rosalie (Covina). The food is memorable & delicious. And I left with a bright smile. If you love fresh, quality Italian food, I happily recommend. 4.8 out of 5 read more

This place is an example of what a restaurant should be. The servers are wonderful, the food is of quality and the esthetics are cozy and warm. The food is Italian with a sprinkle of covinas latin touch. A local gem. I came here on a overcast evening nd enjoyed their speghetti and meatballs with a cider. What sets the speghetti apart from others is a smokey bacon flavor and a tiny sprinkle of spiciness. As an appetizer I ordered the charred octupus. Again, the Mexican influences shime through with the spiced marinade and zesty sauce, grilled onions and radishes. It was delicious and the serving size are decent, so had plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. I loved that the staff will pack your food to go, and make it convient for customers. I ended with a lemon ricotta cake. The waitress was passionate about the food. I almost thought she was the owner by the way she presented the menu and food options. 100% recommend. read more

Stopped by here for my birthday on Wednesday night and it was amazing! Everything from the service to drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert. The place itself is super cute, their music selection is great and there is seating inside and outside. Our servers were all very attentive, we had like 3 different staff members checking on us and refilling our waters. Every small dish we had was great. The rainbow carrots and brocolini were cooked perfectly and the sauces they were in had great flavor. The gem salad was a little plain and simple but it was ok. The focaccia was so soft and the corn butter was unique but so delicious. The pastas were creamy and were cooked al dente. The star of the table was the branzino. The fish was crispy and the sauce was seasoned so well. The leeks were tender and went together so well. I cant wait to come back here and try more of their dishes! The tiramisu was light and fluffy and the sorbet was nicely sweetened. read more

Oh man. Having Rosalie right in my backyard is not good for my wallet. We might end up here every couple of weeks. The food is just sublime. Come during happy hour (Mondays to Thursdays) - that's what we did. We wanted to sample their fare before fully committing. The broccolini was done so well, my son who usually hates veggies couldn't get enough of it. The focaccia is dreamy - it is soft and crusty and when you tear it, makes such a beautiful sound. They offer Parmesan butter and pickled peppers along with it. The pork meatballs were a standout (but you need bread for this to mop up all that delicious sauce). The pizza was light, airy, but held up all that cheese and pepperoni so well. Alexa provided stellar service. She didn't hover but she was always available when we needed her. And she was forthright she answering our questions. She anticipated our needs so well, coming up with a bottle of water right when we needed it. All in all, this is a welcome addition to the roster of restaurants in Covina. It's a beautifully appointed space with lots of parking, delicious Northern Italian food, and top notch service. What a gem. read more

Hands down the Best restaurant in the area! Better than everywhere in Glendora, Claremont, West Covina. We have dined 3 Michelin Star joints around the world and this place deserves one! We are so lucky to have this gem in Covina. Legit farm to table. The bread and butter- amazing with the most refreshing pickled peppers and just enough malden salt for the butter. The burratta with peaches and plums was divine. Meatballs were hearty and huge and perfect with the sauce. Maybe needed a hair more salt The caccio e Pepe was to die for. Just like union's in Pasadena- duh. The drinks were great too and the service was warm and friendly! Everything you could want in a restaurant. Real food. Real flavor. No pretense. Food and service forward. Could be a date spot pre a family spot. And the happy hour is not bar either if you are an early bird. What are you waiting for? Go here now and tell all your friends! P.s. we are serious diners and not associated with the owners are all we are just really really excited to have this place in our town and we want them to do well so we can keep coming here for ever! read more

Once people learn Rosalie is owned by the people that runs Union in Pasadena, it automatically sets the expectation of delicious fresh pasta dishes. It's a casual, relaxed and cozy interior with an energetic atmosphere. The staff moves around at a fast pace and the crowd is lively, but not noisy. There is a smaller dining room by the entrance, a larger space through a doorway and a patio area. The menu has a few similar dishes to Union, like the meatballs and torchetti (based on my memory). We ordered a few pasta dishes and the meatballs as a starter. They're big and delicious as a starter. The lumache, bucatini and torchetti were all very good in their own way. One of richer than the other with different flavor profiles, but the pasta were all Al dente, with a nice chew. They were nicely seasoned without any one ingredient overpowering the others. The only thing I'd suggest is they put red peppers or freshly ground black pepper on the table. The service we received was excellent, as she was very courteous and attentive when time allowed. Sadly I forgot her name. There a huge parking lot next to Rosalie, but when we went for a weekend dinner, it was full. If you circle around a bit, a space might open up. Though there really isn't anything else for us to do around there, Rosalie was worth the drive to get very good Italian food. Unlike Union in Pasadena, the plentiful free parking is a big plus. read more

I have lived in Covina for over 13 years, and this is truly one of the best local spots I have experienced. I am especially glad it is now in my neighborhood. I will start by saying that I am very particular about Italian food. First, the location is perfect, slightly tucked away with ample parking, a cute and inviting atmosphere, and staff who are genuinely kind and welcoming. When giving recommendations, they speak from a place of knowledge and passion for the food, which is always appreciated. We started with the focaccia and house-made butter. Oh my goodness an absolute must. The focaccia was airy and delicious, and the butter was out of this world. I could honestly eat that by itself. I also loved the pickled sweet peppers that accompanied it. The broccolini was cooked to perfection, served in a generous portion, and was somehow a vegetable that even my six-year-old happily ate. Speaking of my six-year-old, he ordered the kids' red spaghetti, which was honestly one of the best children's spaghetti dishes I have ever tasted. It was flavorful, clearly made with quality ingredients, and far exceeded expectations for a kids' meal. My husband and I shared the torchietti with pork ragù. The pasta was perfectly cooked, with a delicious, well-balanced flavor and generous pieces of pork throughout. The house-made ricotta added a rich creaminess that complemented the dish beautifully. We also had the rigatoni pesto with pistachios and burrata. The crunch from the pistachios paired wonderfully with the creaminess of the burrata, while the basil pesto tied everything together. Another delicious dish. My husband ordered a peach cocktail, which he described as perfectly balanced. To finish the evening, we shared a scoop of their house-made vanilla ice cream and a large slice of chocolate cake. The ice cream was velvety, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with the cake. The dark chocolate provided great balance without being too rich, and although the cake appeared dense at first glance, it still had a surprising lightness to it. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. It is a true neighborhood gem, and I am excited to have it so close to home. read more

Food a fancy restaurant that does t have a gluten free option for those that can't eat pasta is just wrong!! Service was ok. The waitress who served us water and told us the history of the cuisine was very friendly and nice . We had reservations at 8 arrives on time but were only accommodated with seating when I asked how they could make us happy because it was crowded, stuffy in one room by the bar, too noisy in the middle room with large parties and finally the outside was told it would be another 45 minute wait. They finally set up a table outside .. we only had to leave because they didn't have gluten free pasta for my needs. We had to find a place with that special need. I would have wanted to try their cuisine but with the choices only being chicken and steak to choose from it would have been hard to stay . When they gluten free pasta we will be sure and give them a try. read more

I really enjoyed our time here! My gf took me here for my birthday this year and it's such a cute and cozy little joint in Covina.

Rosalie comes from the same team behind Union, and you can absolutely feel that pedigree in both the food and the care put into every detail. A few things worth noting: - Full bar, whaaat! - Ingredients are sourced from local farmers markets. Everything tastes fresh, vibrant, and seasonal. - Everything is made from scratch, which gives the menu that soulful, honest quality that's hard to fake. - The focaccia with house-cultured butter is unreal. The bread was warm, soft, and airy, but that butter stole the show. Dangerously good. - The pork meatballs were hearty, tender and flavorful. Just like what you get at Union! - The Burrata was so creamy without being heavy, and the rigatoni was perfectly cooked, holding onto the sauce just right. Ordering was easy and paced so so well. You can feel the love and passion come through in the space and the food. What a great addition to Covina! Thanks for the incredible hospitality, Marie! read more

Service was great, ambiance was great, drinks were great! Food not so great! We had a big party, ordered almost one of everything on the menu. The lobster pasta was disgusting 4 people ate it and not one enjoyed it. The citrus burrata was the only thing I personally enjoyed. 5 people ordered the steak... it was tough and had zero flavor. Halibut was super dry, made me sad because I was so ready for it! The mushrooms were tasty but the portion was so small no way you can share it. 3 of us shared it and literally I think I got a stem. The spaghetti and meatballs were good the kids seemed happy with those. The Fric and Frac was delicious and was my favorite part of the meal/evening. I unfortunately don't think we will be back for the price we payed and the quality of the food it's definitely not worth it. read more

Great experience. Phenomenal drinks (orange fashioned and pineapple shorty), great appetizer, and chicken plate was delicious. The mussels were delicious. Great flavor and spice.

We came with friends last night and it was a terrific experience. Our friend read about it in Bon Appetit magazine. Ziggy was our server and he was spot on. We had custom crafted drinks and a bottle of white Italian Gavi with dinner. The four of us shared the meatballs, carrots (the best), the focaccia and the burrata. We were treated to an order of the broccolini which we didn't order. We were already full and then came the New York steak, Torchetti with pork ragu and the Cacio e Pepe. Be careful; all dishes are meant to be shared. Delicious and we now have dinner for tonight. Highly recommend! read more

What victuals and drink I partook of: - Meatballs (one and twenty dollars) - Torchetti (eight and twenty dollars) - Short rib (two and fifty dollars) - Nero martini (fifteen dollars) - Orange fashioned (sixteen dollars) How it did taste: - In sum, the fare was most excellent, with seasoning both ample and pleasing to the palate. The draughts likewise were most delightful. Wherefore did I bestow upon it five stars? - Though the short rib was somewhat wanting in savour, the other dishes were of surpassing excellence. The meatballs were dear in price, yet generous in portion and richly seasoned. The brightest jewel amongst the dishes was the torchetti, forsooth; I would sooner commend the house for its pastas above all else, for they were abundant and exceedingly delectable. The orange fashioned too was a merry delight unto the senses. The service was stellar despite the house being greatly occupied, and the fare arrived with commendable swiftness. What be the final judgement? - Give it a try shouldst thou find thyself in Covina. read more

Let me just say... this is my new favorite restaurant in my hometown of Covina. I came across a reel of Rosalie on Instagram and immediately knew I had to try it. I've been twice now, and everything I've ordered has been spectacular. The food truly feels like a five-star experience -- authentic, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. It genuinely feels like you've been transported to Italy for the evening. The service is warm, kind, and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is stunning. It feels like you're dining in a cozy, beautifully designed home. In the evening, they light candles at the tables, which makes it feel incredibly romantic. And the best part? It's surprisingly affordable for the quality of food and experience. So happy to have a place like this in Covina. read more

What a bright addition to our community of Covina! Every single dish was truly amazing. I loved how tender that octopus was. It's almost unbelievably tender. Not chewy at all. The persimmon in burrata had skin on but you can eat it no problem. It was very sweet. Torchetti was al dente, pork ragu had so much flavor to it. You need to have the ice cream at the end. I was too full but still wanted something sweet so I shared a scoop of ice cream. And that was the best choice I made. That eggy, milky, rich ice cream. I can tell it's made with love! Every server was really attentive and friendly. Overall, the quality was amazing. If I had to say one thing, it's the price. This isn't weho.

We ordered the torchetti as well and this was my favorite dish. I loved the house ricotta and pork ragu. As for dessert we got the lemon ricotta and house made vanilla ice cream.

As a big fan of Italian food, I was really excited to try this new local spot that opened up! Upon walking in, my first impression was of the great ambiance. It is a nice looking restaurant with a great vibe, much like a restaurant you would find in LA on smaller scale. They were able to accommodate us with a short wait despite not having a reservation and being quite busy! The food was spectacular! They recommend ordering family style, but the dishes aren't especially large. One dish can yield a decent size portion for 2-4 people assuming you order more than one dish. Our server shared that they recommend ordering family style because they have a small kitchen and can't guarantee that they can get all the dishes out at the same time for a table. The Spaghetti & Meatballs were my favorite, and the meatballs were very large! The Rigatoni pesto was good as well, but almost seemed to have a lemon-like undertone that I couldn't quite place. Sadly, the service was somewhat lacking. Our server hardly checked on us, and they forgot to bring the Focaccia bread that we ordered. We didn't get to bring it to their attention until the end of our meal when they came back to ask if we wanted to order dessert. They apologized for forgetting and said they were busier than anticipated. Weirdly, the prices on my bill were different than the menu prices, with some items being a few dollars cheaper and others being more expensive. Overall, I enjoyed the food, so I would still return and recommend to friends as we don't have a similar equivalent in the area. read more

For starters, the food is excellent. We had the salt spring mussels, little gem salad, and the lumache. Absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding, all servers very knowledgeable and helpful.

Everything was amazing. I sat at the bar and Gianina was my server and bartender. She was the best and made an excellent Nero martini. It was so good that I already want to come back and try more drinks next time. For food, I had the pork meatballs and the striped bass and everything tasted incredible. Their menu rotates with the seasons and they mentioned they adjusted the bass for fall flavors. What really blew me away was the squash that came with it and how well it complemented the fish. The fish itself was great, but the squash was so good I wanted to lick the plate clean. They source ingredients from local farmers markets, so the menu changes often, which makes me even more excited to come back once it rotates again. Service was amazing overall. Street parking was pretty easy and there are several public lots nearby. Definitely coming back. read more

Nice place for a meetup after work with friends for drinks and shareables. There were a nice variety of cocktails, the pizza was delicious.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. We brought our litto one along and wasn't sure how Rosalie was going to do with an almost 1-year old. Glad to report back we had the best dinner we've had in the area at Rosalie! The staff members are all super nice and attentive. We strolled in just a little past happy hour, and yet they still honored the HH prices for us. They seem to have a lot of different wine options, I think we tried something new for my husband and I and we both loved it. We definitely ordered way more than we should've, but we were so tempted by all the options on the menu! We ended up getting the foccacia bread, charred octopus (must get), torchetti, and the rotolo (must get, but kidna oily). we loved all their pasta dishes and the pasta was so fresh! the foccacia bread was so soft, we probably ate enough for 2 meals!! Parking is also super easy here, honestly what a great experience and a great find in downtown Covina! read more

Incredible! 10/10 in my books. The spaghetti and meatballs were delicious & I highly recommend ordering the broccolini.

An amazing experience celebrating my best friend's birthday. So glad that we chose to check out this brand new restaurant. Service was amazing and parking was a breeze. The space is beautiful albeit a bit chilly at night but the delicious meal and creative menu more than made up for it. We started with the brussel sprouts and loved this dish! We're so used to small, roasted portions whenever we order this elsewhere but Rosalie was generous and the dish was flavorful. It paired well with the pasta and main we ordered as well. The pasta we ordered was the torchetti that had a delicious pork ragu with ricotta. This was a super creamy delicious with a little bit of tang. It was just slightly too salty for my taste but well balanced with the brussel sprouts. Lastly we shared the Murray farms chicken which was super moist and paired with a gochujang mole that added a nice tang. This was a bit too sweet for my friend and we wish more roasted parsnips were included to balance the dish. Overall, Rosalie is generous with their portion sizes and the service was incredibly warm. They also gave a complimentary horchata ice cream dessert for my friend's birthday and just overall was an incredible experience. We'd definitely come back to try more of the menu and are excited to see this place continue to grow. read more

Happy to have a restaurant of this quality in this neck of the woods! The place is elegant in its simplicity, with piped in music at a perfect volume. (I get irritated at other places where it is so loud, you can't hear yourself think.) the decor and lighting are inviting and cozy. The service and staff are attentive and warm. They pay good attention to detail. I do wish that they offer table bread as much of the items are seasoned well and can be borderline salty without bread to accompany it. That being said, the quality of the focaccia pizza are absolutely fabulous. They do the pastry side of the menu so very well. The meatballs (happy hour menu) and the steak, as I mentioned before are very well seasoned, but i would order pasta, bread, or the fingerling potatoes to help mellow the flavors a bit. I am eager to return to this place and hope to explore more of their menu. read more

If this was an indicator of things to come this will be a regular stop for us. the food was so good. We will be coming back and doing so with friends and family. Third, the setting and the music was spot on. Really felt comfortable and inviting. read more

Welcome to Covina!!! Rosalie's Restaurant officially opened on Monday, Sept 29th. It's the same company that owns and operates the Michelin-Star-rated "Union Restaurant" in Pasadena. Logan greeted me, Natalie was our Server, she made recommendations on some of her favorites. Marco was the Bartender, he recommended the Frick & Frac cocktail (Gin, Orangecello, Lemon Juice, Orange Bitters). This drink is all about Covina! The name is for the shuttle service that stops at the restaurant. The Orangecello was chosen for the orange logo of the city and its history of orange groves. My second drink was the Rosalie Sour (Mezcal). MENU HIGHLIGHTS: - Appetizers = Pork Meatballs; Mushrooms in a savory Truffle Butter sauce; Charred Octopus - Sides = Little Gem Salad with Pepitas, Anchovies, Green Goddess dressing; Heirloom Tomatoes (Yuzu Ponzu sauce); Roasted Carrots; Roasted Potatoes with Goat Cheese; Cauliflower with Cannellini beans, Garlic, Lime Cream and Chives - Entrees = Agnolotti Lamb with Cilantro and Lime; Chicken in Gochujang Mole; Striped Bass with Squash; Torchetti (Pork Ragu pasta with Ricotta Cheese). - Desserts = Bosco Nero (Italian Chocolate Cake); Peach Tort, or Strawberry Shortcake. Operating hours: -5pm to 9pm - Monday thru Thursday. -4pm to 9pm - Friday thru Sunday.

Rosalie in Covina is definitely the glow-up Covina didn't know it needed. The vibe is adorable -- think date night chic meets "finally, somewhere local that isn't a chain." Love that for us. The food is family-style, but don't get it twisted, this is not Cheesecake Factory-level sharing - this is more "refined share plates" than "three meals in one sitting.". The pork meatballs were the stars of the night -- two huge, flavorful ones in a rich red sauce. The charred octopus had good flavor, but a few bites were overcooked and tougher than I'd like (that green sauce though? 10/10 would bottle it). The lobster pasta had nice flavor too, but the lobster portion was shy and the pasta a bit too al dente -- like it needed another 45 seconds in the pot. Service was friendly but... a little MIA at times. Our server was sweet, but it felt like we were playing hide-and-seek for refills and dessert menus. At one point, they cleared the table, asked how everything was, and then disappeared into the void for a solid five minutes. Overall, I can see what Rosalie is trying to do -- it's giving DTLA THAT GIRL RESTAURANT ENERGY-- but it needs a bit more refinement in both food execution and service pacing. I'm rooting for it though, because Covina deserves spots like this that feel fresh, fun, and actually worth dressing up for. read more
