Pretty average for a place that is supposed to be Italian cuisine. Buratta didn't really feel like a buratta. And the pizza was less Italian and more American. Would not recommend.
This review is basically for the gnocchi, which came highly recommended by a friend. The gnocchi is immersed in a broth of Kennett Square mushrooms. There are also smaller pieces of possible gnocchi in the broth. The gnocchi are the buttery soft kind that literally melt in your mouth. It easily compares to the best gnocchi dishes I've had in downtown Philly. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and would definitely come here again just for this dish. The pistachio cream cake was great, too. I actually ordered just the pistachio gelati but was given this instead. It was excellent.
Rosalie is one of my favorite places to visit. I absolutely love it, and it never disappoints. The dining room is warm and dimly lit, with velvet seating, cozy booths, and soft pillows that make you instantly relax. It's the kind of space that makes you want to settle in and keep enjoying just one more bite. This visit, I had the veal stuffed homemade pasta and the Sicilian meatballs both rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced. The pasta was tender and clearly house-made, and the meatballs were perfectly seasoned in a slow-simmered sauce full of depth. The shrimp appetizer was the standout, served with a special house-made sauce and crispy pickled cucumbers for the perfect bright contrast. Truly my favorite shrimp appetizer I've ever had. Our server, Andrea, really made the experience even better. She helped us navigate the menu and offered thoughtful suggestions that we absolutely loved. Between the food, the ambiance, and the service, Rosalie always feels like comfort done right.
What a delightful experience at Rosalie. It's such a cute little gem with beautiful decor inside a lovely hotel. It's a nice surprise in a small town I'd heard little of but went to for a client dinner. Our server, Yasir, was excellent. We had a party of 8 and he did such a good job basically herding cats through drinks, appetizers, and entrees. For the pastas, you can do half portions and most of us chose to get half portions of two different pastas (each person) and it was just so much to remember so he deserves a lot of praise on nailing everything. For apps, we got the watermelon salad, arancini, focaccia, and Brussels sprouts. Loved it all but especially the arancini. Sooo good. For my pasta I got the gnudi and the Casoncelli. I'm a sweet and savory kind of girl which both have since they casoncelli has the golden raisins and the gnudi has the cherries so I loved those. Also they have a great selection of mocktails - I loved mine. Would definitely return - it was a 30 min drive from Philly for the work dinner but so worth it. I want to come back and bring my bf!
Plans changed and we ended up here for dinner. I felt a bit underdressed in my sweats but that's my own fault. Our waiter was so attentive and made sure we knew what was in each item after we told him we were vegetarian. There's a whole separate menu for vegetarians! The portion sizes are a bit smaller but each of the items we got were absolutely amazing!!
Cute spot with really delicious food. I came here for brunch. Service was great. We sat on the patio which was very nice. I ordered the mushroom toast and loved it. The flavor was amazing, the bread was perfect. Arugula salad was a nice side. A potato some how made its way on my plate so I can confirm they're very good too. I would definitely come back again.
Ensconced in the Wayne Hotel, Rosalie is yet another entry in Marty Grim's ever burgeoning stable of Fearless Restaurants. A few of his other diverse establishments include such popular eateries as Autograph Brasserie (also located in Wayne), the floating Moshulu at Philly's waterfront, Tucker's Tavern on Long Beach Island, and five White Dog Café outposts. But Rosalie, if you'll pardon the pun, seems to be a restaurant of a different color, presenting itself as a purveyor of "Italian Soul Food." This, however, is something of a misnomer. First of all, on the basis of what I've managed to glean from both the restaurant's website and other sources, the phrase "Italian Soul Food" is little more than poetic license. In other words, it's a fancy way of describing Italian comfort food. The various forms of Pizza here - Margherita, Suppressata, Potato, Quattro Formaggi - though hardly exceptional, are quite good. On the other hand, there are other items of infinitely more interest. Several of the starters, for instance... Arancini, saffron risotto balls with meat ragu & smoked mozzarella; Crudo, bigeye tuna, chili-garlic, agrodolce (sweet/sour sauce) & avocado; Sicilian Meatball; and Lioni Burrata with tomato jam & grilled ciabatta. But salads also sounded quite interesting as well. So, my dining partner and I decided to share the Mercato, a tempting combo of baby lettuces, pickled peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and marinated cucumber, all enhanced with the subtle nuances of a parmesan vinaigrette. A wise choice. With regard to entrées, my dining partner was quite pleased with her Gnocchi (pictured). These are small, soft dumplings traditionally made with potatoes, flour, and eggs. The dough is formed into small ropes, cut into pieces, and then boiled in salted water until the dumplings float to the surface. Gnocchi are frequently served with a variety of sauces, including tomato, butter & sage, or various creamy concoctions. They may also be pan fried in order to provide a crispy texture. In this case, they are companioned by Kennett Square mushrooms, fontina cheese, and a generous splash of 8-year balsamic. The result proved a delightfully delicious crowd-pleaser. On the other hand, my entrée of choice, Lasagna alla Norma, has its own rather unique story. A variation on the Pasta alla Norma theme, which was originally called Pasta con le Melanzane, the term literally means "pasta with eggplant." This dish is typical of Sicilian cuisine, particularly from Catania, the second largest municipality after Palermo. It is made of penne or other pasta (in this case, lasagna) with tomato sauce combined with slices of fried eggplant and served with ricotta salata cheese and fresh basil. The dish was named in honor of Vincenzo Bellini, a native of Catania and composer of the opera Norma. Interestingly enough, the first time we both ordered this dish, it was something of a disappointment, arriving at table barely lukewarm... And not even a return trip to the kitchen was able to adequately ameliorate the situation. During my most recent encounter, however, the temperature was spot on. Dessert-wise, my dining partner and I finally decided to share the Limoncello Cheesecake Torte, lemon curd, citrus cake, vanilla meringue kisses . I find limoncello - in whatever form - simply impossible to resist. And the cheesecake torte was certainly no exception. Outlandishly rich... refreshingly tangy... totally addictive. A high point of the evening. One final word... During our several recent visits, we have always found the service to be first-rate. Young, attentive, and pleasantly personable. And the homey, comfortable ambiance is quite a plus as well.
Gorgeous restaurant with amazing food. The shakshuka was so delicious and an interesting twist on a classic
Went here for lunch and although it was empty- still a very nice experience! Our server who was also the bartender was very friendly and provided amazing drink and food recommendations! I got the sopresseta pizza which was delicious! Also got a strawberry aperol spritz cocktail (which isn't on the menu) and it was so refreshing! My mom got the radiatori pasta (half version) which she said was delicious and plenty big! My boyfriend got the margarita pizza which he loved. Also, we got the focccia appetizer which was great! I loved all the imagery and ambiance was well :) Will definitely be back in the summer to sit on the patio!
Went here for to celebrate Valentine's Day with a special dinner. Immediately noticed that the place is busy, which is generally a good sign. The ambiance is clean and intimate with small LED votives and flowers on the tables. There is also a bar if you want to sit there. The food was excellent. The verde salad had a great taste. I wish some of the greenery was cut up, as some of the pieces were rather large. The service was great but felt a little rushed due to the how many people were there. The focaccia bread and spaghetti al limone that I ordered were the highlights of the meal. Enjoyed the affogato for dessert, which I'd never had before. Solid four out five stars.
If you live on Philadelphia's mainline, you've likely driven past Rosalie, located in the historic Wayne Hotel on Lancaster Avenue. Lovely ambience, an interesting menu -- not as extensive as other restaurants -- and solicitous staff. We deviated from our usual salad-then-entree dinner. My husband, who had his heart set on lamb shank, ordered the only legitimate main course amongst the three of us. My daughter and I were on the same page about trying a little of this/a little of that. That's how I'd do it again at Rosalie. Two dishes I loved: arancini, made with saffron rice, meat ragu and smoked mozzarella, is as good as NYC's Norma restaurant, my idea of the gold standard for Italian rice balls. I'm generally not much of a pizza person, but looking at Yelp photos, we ordered the Salsiccia pizza (lamb sausage, marinated squash, meyer lemon and sesame.) Somewhat puffy -- not a usual description for pizza -- and very good. Gnodi looks great, however S and I found the ricotta dumplings too doughy. We liked the accoutrements: caramelized onion, fig and hazelnut, which I used as a dip for my pizza crust. One order of the tricolore salad was ample for the three of us. I would have preferred a little less endive and more baby gem lettuce but with the buttermilk vinaigrette, candied walnuts and blue cheese, the salad was pretty darn good. If you're a lamb shank kind of person -- that wouldn't be me -- Rosalies does it right. Tender and flavorful with Greek yogurt, squash, lamb agrodolce and mint. (I had to look up "agrodolce" too! It's a sweet and sour condiment.) We ordered what they call a quartino of wine, a fancy way to say "carafe." Their bases are covered with a selection each of white, rose and red. The artisan cellar super Tuscan isn't exactly "super" but it was okay. And dessert: we shared a chocolate budino trifle (somewhat like a thick pudding) and limoncello cheesecake. The bar was hopping Friday evening. (Remember, the restaurant is attached to the hotel.) Reservations are warranted if you're there to eat, and like many restaurants, there's a 3% upcharge if you pay with a card.
I find myself dining at Rosalie's quite often because it's consistently fantastic! Recently, I had the pleasure of going with a larger group, and we decided to order a variety of entrées to share. Let me tell you, the mushroom gnocchi was such a hit that we ordered it twice! The Casoncelli also received rave reviews from everyone--it's definitely a crowd pleaser. Casoncelli veal, golden raisin, amaretti, parmesan The handmade pasta is absolutely divine and clearly prepared with passion. Rosalie's menu is wonderfully eclectic, featuring a delightful mix of rustic dishes alongside sophisticated entrées like perfectly prepared, Bronzino and juicy steaks. I also love their sharshuka served at lunchtime. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is charming and warm, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I highly recommend giving Rosalie's a try; you won't be disappointed! Trust me, once you experience it, you'll find yourself wanting to return over and over--just like I do!
Rosalie in Wayne is always poppin on a weekend and for good reason! Make sure to make a reservation. The food is quite delicious and flavorful, however it is definitely a bit heavy for my taste since I do not enjoy super heavy creamy food (that is just personal preference). The prosciutto was excellent and buttery and they bring it from Italy. The pasta dishes were great! I love that you can do half sizes. The gnocchi is probably the best I've had in Philly. However I did prefer the meat pasta dish we ordered. The pork was good however I was a bit thrown off by the sweetness and it was a bit too rich for me. Again -- this is just personal preference but I can see how some people would love it . The only issue we had is that we ordered the salad with dressing on the side but they still dressed it. Not a super big deal -- it was pretty busy so they must've forgotten!

Spent last Sunday at Rosalie for lunch and had a delicious meal! First impressions walking in were wow are we underdressed for lunch. Beautiful restaurant 5 star ambiance that we were not expecting. Food was very good. I would highly recommend the spaghetti. Not traditional but great sweet flavor with perfectly cooked pasta. Pizza was good just needed to be cooked a little longer but again great flavor. Must try if you are in the area. read more

Best Italian restaurant I've ever been to! I came here for my graduation dinner and it was perfect! Staff was so sweet! And the portions are humongous! I got the family special with my dad and it gave you an appetizer, entre, and desert! Perfect for a celebration dinner or a big get together! Can't wait to return! The bread was also some of the best I've ever had along with the potatoes. read more

My husband surprised me with a reservation here the second weekend they were open. We sat outside on the front patio and, although it was very chilly that night, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!! Admittedly, I was hesitant for the opening of yet another Italian restaurant in the area since we already have quite a few (Amis, Tredici, Teresa's, Fellini's, Pietro's, etc) but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised and I do believe Rosalie is unique enough to standout among the rest. Frankly, I find the poor reviews of Rosalie to be comical as it is not at all deserving of 1-2 stars, in any capacity. Firstly, the space is absolutely stunning... which I was not surprised by since Fearless Restaurants are known for their unique and intriguing decor. Rosalie's interior is a far cry and most certainly an upgrade to what it was while Paramour occupied the space. In addition to the interior, the front porch is such a fun spot for tables and I hope they continue seating out here even if/when Covid is no longer the problem it is now. Secondly, the staff was IMPECCABLE. I was truly surprised just how well they did. Even restaurants under the best names experience hiccups with service when they first open but everyone at Rosalie was fantastic only 10 days in and while navigating limitations due to Covid. We received our drinks quickly, food was timed just right, the staff was knowledgeable and helpful, water glasses were kept full, etc. To address any 'issues' with the menu... are the dishes named in Italian? yes. Where there words I didn't know? of course. Can you ASK YOUR SERVER for clarification? most definitely (Also there's a thing called 'Google' if you're too proud for the former). If a menu is seemingly difficult to navigate that indicates, at least to me, a learning opportunity. Once upon a time I didn't know what Foie Gras was either... but you live and your learn. Not to mention, it should be expected that an Italian restaurant's dishes are named in Italian... no? Now, my reasoning for 4 stars rather than 5 does have to do with the menu and that is this: the menu is a small plates/shareable/tapas type menu and I did find that, on several occasions, the portion sizes were small for the price. I'll explain... We ordered two shareables, the Pork Shank Fritti and the Mushroom Suppli. Both are small (two per plate) and both were about $10?? To be honest, the pork shank fritti was the worst plate of the night and didn't have much flavor at all (needed more meat)- the plum mostarda was the saving grace. The suppli, however, was DIVINE. It's very similar to arancini and the mushroom filling was amazing. Next we ordered the beef tartare and the lamb skewers (I forget their Italian names and forgot to take a pic of the menu!). The beef tartare was a slightly larger plate (a tad pricey at around $18?) but it was, hands down, THE best dish we had all night. My husband and I both agreed we could've eaten the whole dish alone. The lamb skewers were very good but paled in comparison to the tartare. These, mind you, were another small plate with only 2 skewers but I forget what the price was. For our main courses, my husband ordered the agnolotti which, again, was VERY good but relatively small for the $20ish price tag (see pic). I ordered the gnocchi in brown butter, as recommended by our server, and it did NOT disappoint. These gnocchi were little fluffy clouds that melted in my mouth, so light they felt like air and THAT'S how you know gnocchi is done right. I was very impressed. This dish was a little more sizeable than the agnolotti. Lastly, we had to order dessert just to try... only a few options so we went with the olive oil cake which was prepared and presently perfectly. If you don't want anything overly sweet, this cake was sweet-tooth-satisfying without giving you a stomach ache. I did find the desserts to be appropriately priced. Another note: I am no expert in wine but the wine list seemed like a very comprehensive and approachable wine list- there were some VERY reasonable bottles (starting around $40ish) and there were some more intimidating bottles (ending around $300ish). The sommelier helped us choose a very good and relatively inexpensive Italian blend that we both enjoyed. Overall, I have the highest of hopes for Rosalie. I will most certainly be back and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. If Rosalie is anything like its sister restaurants, it will do well, if not better than them. read more

I enjoyed our dinner at Rosalie. We sat outside on the porch but the inside area is large and beautifully decorated as well. Overall, as others have mentioned, it's a bit pricy. Food was very good though. We had the beet salad, meatballs, gnocchi, and spaghetti. The gnocchi was delicious but our only wish was that the spaghetti was home made, especially when paying $20 for it. read more

This restaurant was the highlight of my Philly trip! I highly recommend driving from Philly to Wayne for dinner or an early dinner and walk around the super cute downtown area there are many great places to eat, drink and shop! This place is my favorite! read more
Such a lovely Saturday brunch at Rosalie. They have a great outdoor dining space with plenty of open air for a safe dining experience. Our food was really terrific. I got the Lioni Mozzarella and my gosh was it huge. Tasty too! Definitely splitable. My spouse got the Egg In The Hole, which was just heavenly. Plenty of lox. The bread was just outstanding and just melted in your mouth like butter. Our server Mackenzie was friendly and attentive and the manager stopped by to make sure everything is okay which is always appreciated! We are really excited to come back and try the Mushroom Pizza and some cocktails. Highly recommend Rosalie for anyone in Wayne around breakfast/lunch time. read more

Can't wait to go back here! The decor, team, food, and ambience all set the stage for a perfect night out. Felt very comfortable eating inside with the covid precautions taken by the restaurant.

I came to Rosalie with my mom and sisters for a celebratory lunch after finding my dream wedding dress. I was immediately drawn to the decor and layout of the space, as I'm a complete and total sucker for patterns, murals, and personality. It was a little busier than expected for a Saturday afternoon but we did not have to wait very long until we were seated for our reservation. We started with the margherita pizza to share which was definitely enough for five people to have a taste (it comes in 6 slices). For my entree I had the Maiale sandwich which was absolutely DELICIOUS. I also ordered a side of crispy potatoes which were perfectly crisp and definitely filling. My sisters had the Italiano sandwich and my mom had the Sunday Gravy Shakshuka which she said was one of the best dishes she's ever had. I would highly recommend checking this place out, even if just for how beautiful the space is, but the food and drinks are an absolute bonus. read more
