A good restaurant should have three things: quality food, clean facilities, and a welcoming manager or owner. I've been to Rosario Trattoria seven times in the past six months, and while the food is solid and the place is clean, the experience is consistently spoiled by the owner. He is cold, unapproachable, and gives the impression that he has little patience--or tolerance--for people of different backgrounds or those who speak with an accent. As someone who falls into that category, this attitude is both offensive and discouraging. It's a stark contrast to the waitstaff, who are friendly and professional. The bottom line: good food and service, but the owner's unpleasant demeanor is a major turnoff. Until this changes, it's hard to fully recommend Rosario Trattoria despite its strengths. read more

We sat in the dining room which is very inviting. the wait staff was friendly and our waitress was very patient with us. We asked a lot of (silly) questions. For apps we had a pizza, and crostini topped with fig buratta and prosciutto. Both the pizza and crostini were delicious. Our entrees were disappointing. I had shrimp parm on linguini. The shrimp texture seemed almost like it was fried in the batter way before and then just warmed up in the sauce. The linguini didn't seem "fresh" as advertised either. The shrimp in the fra Diablo sauce was not cooked in any seasoning or sauce first. It looked like shrimp in shrimp cocktail. The short ribs were way too salty. I don't think anyone in the kitchen tested the taste of the sauce or they wouldn't have let it out of the kitchen. People rave about this restaurant so I think we will give it another chance. read more

Food for all six people was delicious, prices very reasonable, and the service staff very helpful

Normally order take out during certain holidays. Everything was always excellent . Well, ownership must have changed because everything was terrible. Almost to the point of not being edible . One of my favorites was the Sicilian seafood salad, not anymore. It came in a contained submerged in oil Overall extremely disappointed in everything ! read more

Don't be deceived! Food was spectacular! Our server Jillian was the best! Had her two weeks in a row. What a pleasure she was!

Cute place!!! Came up to Midland Park for some business. It was a around lunch time. I asked someone where we could get good pizza. We were referred to Rosario's. The trattoria is in a small strip mall with a decent sized parking lot. We were greeted upon entering the restaurant. The takeout area was off to the left. An adorable dining room was off to the right. We decided on eating in the takeout area. At the counter, we ordered a slice of plain and a slice of buffalo chicken. In addition, we ordered a coke and a diet coke. We were asked if we wanted a bottle or fountain. We asked for fountain soda. The fountain soda was excellent. The pizza was good. The ingredients were very fresh! Would return! read more

We were a party of 6. Seated on time for our reservation. The restaurant was pretty much at capacity, but did not feel crowded. It was not church quiet, but our party could converse and hear other. Food was delicious. Calamari a la Rosario was outstanding. Everyone was pleased with his or her entree, enjoying generous servings of grilled branzino, salmon fresco, chicken and chicken saltinbocca. Each entree was preceded by a tasty salad. I highly recommend this restaurant for the impeccable service and delicious dinner. Parking: Plenty of parking onsite. read more

So first time here with a group on late December and was pleasantly surprised with the nice Italian American menu, great staff and very tasty food. It's nice to see a place like this keep it real without fuss and overdoing everything. Fried seafood, seafood salad, chicken parm, eggplant rolatine and pastas very good, fresh and not overseasoned. BYOB, cheerie atmosphere and good vibes. read more

I've worked in town for 25 years and just recently discovered this gem. We went there for our Christmas outing for work. PHE-NOM-I-NAL. We started with the Calamari Rosario and the filet tails. Wow. The calamari was one of the best I've had. For dinner, I had the chicken parm. One of the best I've had. 2 days ago, I has an itch for eggplant parm, so I ordered a sandwich from there. I should've taken a picture to share. Eggplant parm hero was excellent. Did not let me down. The staff from table service to take out was excellent! Nothing bad could possibly come to mind. Try this place out... I won't say I told ya so. read more

Got takeout through seamless on a whim one night. The delivery was within the quoted time frame. The food arrived piping hot! The arancini were yummy and nice and cheesy inside. Stayed crispy during delivery. Nice and big and came with a little sauce. My favorite item in my order. The ravioli were pretty good and meaty, the sauce tasted a lot like like my grandma's. The pasta was slightly under done but I guess it's better than having the ravioli fall apart. The Rosario calamari had a little too much balsamic/bruschetta for me (overall the dish was a little too sweet) and I knowingly took a risk having this delivered but I wanted to try their signature calamari. They poked a hole in the top of the container so it would keep them as crispy as possible, which held up okay but the ones on the bottom were on the soggier side because of all the balsamic. If I get delivery again I will stick to plain calamari as this is probably better served in the restaurant or with the sauce on the side for delivery. read more

Always consistent, excellent food-great pizza. Entrées are large enough to share for two adults. Love this place! We usually pick it up to bring home but the ambience there is nice as well. BYOB. read more

Rating out of 10: 8 I came to this place last night and knew it was going to be a good Italian restaurant in the area. We were served WARM soft and fluffy on the inside, crunch outside bread (which believe it or not; not all places will have). I ordered the burrata pizza. Expected to see a big ball of burrata on the pizza so I can cut into and eat with my entire pizza. Instead there were slices that filled the pie; all melted. Almost looked like fresh mozzarella tbh I couldn't tell. Crunch light crust and crunchy bottom. Definitely a good pizza. 12 inch personal pizza for about 18 dollars. They charge extra if you use card (not by a lot; a dollar/2). But the weird thing is they can split a check down the middle. You have to quantify how much to put on one card (so someone might end up w the tax and credit card fee on their card!) Anyways. I would recommend and come back. I am interested to try the calamari Rosario, another pizza, and some pasta dishes read more

We have been to Rosario's several times and it's always been amazing. The food is great. Very nice sized portions and always done very, very well. Their waitstaff is very professional and attentive. We love coming here and are happy to have it close to home. read more

Ate in the tent outside...a very nice set up with some propane heat going so we weren't cold, but we felt safe. Some of the portions were HUGE. My mother in law will have chicken parmesan for 3 more meals, lol. We also had the short rib ravioli, chicken toscana, pear and goat cheese salad, salmon with tiramisu and cannoli cream stuffed zeppoli for dessert. Everything was delicious! The byob option helps with value and our waiter was great. read more

Delicious food all the time! Also excellent for catering! Everyone always enjoys! Thank you!

Interesting situation. Food was actually very good, we all enjoyed our meals. Part of me thought this was a nice "restaurant" but with the pizzeria attached, it makes me think that this is just a pizzeria that is trying to be a real restaurant. I don't like paying those prices for pizzeria food. But again, the food was pretty darn good! Service was fine, our waitress was very friendly and everything came out perfectly. No issues there. She did kind of disappear towards the end of the meal but others and to our table often and were also very attentive. Now, for the bathroom. Jeez Louise- giant hole in the wall near the sink. No toilet paper roll holder, just a bunch of half used rolls sitting on a cabinet. I guess the bathroom was clean enough but man, spend a $1,000 bucks to have it painted, put up some premade paintings from Michaels and patch the Sheetrock hole! Take a slow Monday and just get it done! read more

The eggplant parm was the best I ever had. The waiters were very pleasant and accommodating. Definitely give it a try.

This is the best BYOB I have found yet. The dining room is next to the kitchen and pizza area but feels like most fine dining restaurants in the area. The service is always top notch and the menu is filled with great Italian staples and originals along with daily specials. read more

Must try the la lupaia slice with hot honey!!! It is made fresh and the flavors from all of the sauces set it apart from all the imitators! Will be back to try it again! read more

Food is fantastic, service very good. Our waiter paid exceptional attention to us. Prices were fair for the quality of the food.

Very busy and noisy place. Couldn't have a real conversation with the 7 other people at our round table. Could really only talk to the people on either side of me. The waiter was nice and informative. We ordered the escarole and bean soup. When it came there was no broth. Had to have them take it back to add the broth. Not sure how that happens. The food was good. Not great, but good. The same person who ordered the soup ordered the short rib ravioli. We all watched him salt, pepper and Parmesan the heck out of it. He said it had no taste. All the other dishes were good. Of note, the Toasted Almond cake was delish!!!! Will not be going back there as there are so many Italian restaurants. read more

We with another family for last minute dinner. The restaurant is divided into kitchen/pizza and nice, ie white linen, waiter with busing, etc. The restaurant was very accommodating for the kids and allowed the kids to order a large pizza. The food was very good from the pasta to the veal. I highly recommend and it's BYOB. read more

One of the best date night meals I've ever had. Everything was absolutely delicious. Starting from the appetizers, to the salad, to the main meal, to dessert. The plates were licked clean. The service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant. read more
