White Rose Spaghetti House - Menu - Italian Near Me - Masury, Ohio

My son and myself drove there from Austintown. Walked in and seated ourselves. I was relieved to see that they weren't very busy. About 5 minutes later the waiter came out of the back room and went to the table of 4 next to us and told them they weren't taking no more tables. Then he came and told us the same thing. He said they had 30 people coming in in a little bit and couldn't wait on anybody else. And this was at 6pm. It appears that the restaurant has only one, stressed out male server that takes care of the whole restaurant. I guess I'll never know how good their food is. read more

Would not go back. My family has gone there for over 50 yrs. Last time, was the last time. Owner was belligerent. Service was ridiculously slow, People who ordered after us were done with their meals, and we still waited. Food was marginal, compared to the past. Owner should understand, he is not doing us a favor by serving, we did him a favor by patronizing. read more

Best spaghetti and meatballs around! Friendly staff and the owner/chef is a great guy.

Great place to get pasta. Limited menu, but everything is so good! Won't leave disappointed, or hungry!

Excellent food. The portions are huge and the staff are dedicated to this family business.

This is a step back in time.Dont be in a hurry. Since 1947 I think? And nothing has changed.Very good Italian good at reasonable prices. Nothing fancy. read more

Absolutely the best pasta around! The lasagna is amazing... very very friendly staff. Pasta is cooked fresh to serve. Casual dining,kid friendly, Definitely five star restaurant. Lisa is awesome! read more

Stopped by for dinner with my wife while out on an adventure trip through Western PA and Eastern Ohio. We saw good reviews on Yelp and decided to try them. We ordered pasta and meatballs. The pasta was fresh and hot when it arrived and we enjoyed our dinner very much. The Angle hair pasta was very good. I will stop back in again in the future. read more

The food is great. I only ever order takeout but the waiters and other employees seem nice. The cheesecake is good but always frozen solid.

Yea, they have good spaghetti and our server was great, but the cook must be having a bad day cause we left after never being served. we were waited on and order, only to have three other tables come in after us order and receive the same food we ordered but never got. Paid for drinks and left, got tired of waiting on the cook to service his customers in an orderly fashion. read more

Great food and great value. I will be going back soon. Just an FYI, this isn't the Olive Garden with a huge staff so be a little patient. Good things come to those who wait. And my wait was only 15 minutes and good things came. read more

I remember eating at the White Rose Grill when I was a child. Back then whenever I went there I would get the homemade traditional lasagna. I just ate there this evening and I got there just about 8:15PM only to discover they were already sold out of lasagna. However Thursday evening is their ravioli night so I got that instead. The dish was good with a fully plate of ravioli and two medium sized meatballs but the italian bread served with the meal was two nice thick slices of very fresh bread served with several small plastic containers of real butter. Since I am usually disappointed in italian restaurants that do not have good break with the meal this impressed me. Another thing that impressed me was the quality of the silverware in the restaurant. I am never happy with a restaurant that has cheap crummy utensils. Not here. It was nice heavy quality stuff. Also the glass my ice tea came in was a real glass glass, not a cheap plastic thing. Another plus in my book. The menu is mostly traditional italian pastas, pizza, and meatball sandwiches but they also have real pies for desert as well as italian spumoni ice cream. There are also steaks listed on the menu but I have never ordered one or seen anyone eating one. I have never tried their pizza either. When I walked in there were two large groups and a few smaller two - three people family groups so it is very popular with the local crowd. There were also few people hanging out in the other side of the building where they have a full bar. The decor inside the restaurant has not changed at all since I was there when I was a kid. The large murals on the dining rooms walls are exactly the same. As others have stated the outside of the building does not look like much but the food and old time small family run atmosphere is why I will be back to see if I can catch them when the have lasagna. BTW, they only accept cash, no credit or debit cards here. read more

This was our "go to" place for our Italian food, especially when our large family was celebrating a special occasion. There were 16 of us, with a reservation. 2 hours before undercooked, unsalted, wrong orders touched the table. A meatball sandwich never even got served. The service was non existent. The cook made excuse after excuse after complaining that 5 if his staff had quit the day before. We had to clear our own table (see photo) in order to wat the birthday cake we had brought ( thankfully we had cake, otherwise we would have starved). To top of a completely disastrous evening, the checks were passed out: no details on any of them. Mine simply said CAV: $14.89. The bills were all incorrect but the best part was when we asked why the amounts were seemingly too high we were told they ADDED A 20% GRATUITY on after giving us the worst service we've ever witnessed. The cook said they were shutting down to "regroup". NOT the place this used to be. Never going back. read more

White Rose Spaghetti House - We cleared our own plates onto another table. All uneaten, undercooked food. - Italian Near Me - Masury, Ohio

I pass through the area weekly on my way from Pittsburgh to Pymatuning, so I asked an awesome local friend for suggestions. She gave me a couple, but said the food at this place was "so good, it makes you wanna slap someone." She was soooo right! It was just me and Gram, though, so there was no slapping..... Service was mediocre, the dining room was bland and noisy, but Oh My God the FOOD. There is a reason they have been open since 1940. I'm not usually a fan of runny Italian sauce or "Sunday Gravy," as I prefer meaty, substantial pasta sauces, but this stuff was absurdly good. Small menu, but all you need is the Angel hair, meatballs and the sauce. Just YUM! read more

This is the best kept secret in Masury, OH. The place doesn't look like much from the outside - might be a corner bar... might be a restaurant... it's both! Once you're inside the decor isn't anything to write home about, but it is clean and comfy. Don't worry, once you taste their sauce, you'll forget all about the looks. The White Rose has some of the best traditional red sauce around. And that is saying something - in an area where at least half of the locals are second, third or fourth generation Italian immigrants, we know our red sauce around here. I've never tried any of their other dishes because their lasagna and their cavatelli are awesome! The lasagna is a beef lasagna covered in cheese and red sauce and I'm salivating just thinking about it. They also have a full bar to compliment the dinner entrees. This place would make a great place to meet up with friends - relax and chat over some great pasta - hang around after with a few drinks and catch up. Perfect. The place is relatively quiet, the bar is separate from the restaurant seating, but you can dine on either side. There's a TV in the bar area, but not in the dining area. The wait staff are attentive, pleasant and good at what they do. The cook is even better. :) Make the drive over to Masury and don't be put off by the look of the place. If you've never been there, try the lasagna or the cavatelli. You won't be disappointed. read more

I love the pizza, lasagna, baked potatoes, pasta...the sauce is awesome!! The new owners did a great job following recipes. The transition was flawless (from a customer perspective). They now take credit cards also, which is very convenient for me! read more

Authentic Italian sauce, great greens, meatballs & soup, everything is delicious! This is a generational family restaurant with a small staff. Fridays & Saturdays are very busy, if the parking lot is full you can expect the dining room to be filled. Well worth the wait! read more

Ok, my review might be biased (i'm related) but this place is fantastic. The same family has been cranking out the same homemade old school Italian food since 1940, and generations of folks come in regularly for thick red sauce, lasagna, different pasta's, pizza's, steaks - you get the deal. New things show up on the menu at different times of the year (wedding soup in the winter, homemade sausage at other times, rotating wine selections) but the staples are always there. Yes, it can be hectic and busy, and the old brick building seems mysterious from the outside...but that is part of the charm! It's hard to find mom and pop places still doing things the old fashioned way and caring about food as much as this. read more

I have been going to the White Rose with my parents since I was a little kid. Today I celebrated my twin sons 16th birthday. It is the kind of place you appreciate more when you move away from the area. Great service and really simple menu and have mastered every item. Sauce is on the sweeter side and full of character. The Lasagna is a real treat. read more

WE have been going here for years. Recently I was told under a new owner but the food was just as good. They are significantly more busy and service was slow but I think it just needs an adjustment period. They take credit cards now too and that may be a help to some! Reasonable prices and good homestyle pasta. read more

It stands the test of time ...A staple in the valley. Although portions can be small on a empty stomach there's no comparison to their red sauce and meatball recipes. read more

It's an offer you can't refuse. Tucked away in Masury is the White Rose Grille (known just as 'The White Rose'), a small Italian restaurant that has been family-owned and operated since the 1940s. The beauty of the White Rose is in how little it has changed in three quarters of a century. That includes the atmosphere, the recipe, and the Italian hospitality. All of this does come at a cost. It is priced slightly higher than average Italian restaurants, but this particular reviewer feels that what is lost in extra cents is made up in a timeless, unique spaghetti sauce and old-world atmosphere. The main dining room features a wall painted to look like a long-lost Italian landscape. While this might seem trivial to the restaurant, the art itself looks as though it is from 'old-world' Italy. Wooden tables and booths in the dining room inexplicably recreate the atmosphere you'd expect in an Italian restaurant in the 1940s. Each table is adorned with a candle dripped down a Chianti bottle as a centerpiece, which really reflects both Italian culture and the depression-era Italian restaurant decor. The food is the best Italian in the area, and the secret is consistency over a long period of time. Try anything--there is not ONE item of the White Rose menu that you will be disappointed with. The White Rose also features a full bar, an impressive selection of alcohol including Italian wines. Hours of operation are a little bit tricky, and the family who owns the restaurant does take a week-long vacation in the summer. Pros- -Largely unchanged since the 1940s, which creates a charming atmosphere. -Food is always consistent: astoundingly excellent, quickly prepared, and satisfying. -Service is timely and helpful. The restaurant is family owned and you feel it in the quality of service and atmosphere. -A smaller, intimate menu but contains most everything you'd want. Cons -The 1940s atmosphere is great, and it works, but some areas could use upgrades. -Hours of Operation are tricky: they're open for dinner and only dinner. read more

Food was pretty decent. I had the angel hair pasta with tomato sauce. HUGE portion, but only two tiny meatballs. Liked those--would have liked to see a couple more. I was REALLY disappointed in the service/overall experience. Cash only--so I had to leave and go around the corner to an ATM. Ordered my food to go, and was told they do not carry plastic ware (I was staying in a hotel). Wasn't greeted in a friendly way--essentially ignored for 15 minutes while I waited for my order read more

Read all the reviews and thought wow can't wait to try this place, originally being from the Youngstown area and now living in Florida we come back a few times a year and love the Italian food here compared to Florida. It's ok and just that. Portions are small and meatballs are tiny, a bit pricey for what you get. Tried the wedding soup and thought it tasted like plain old chicken soup. Growing up with an Italian mother you get used to what they make, all Italian cooks are different so I won't say it's bad just not my taste. Try it for yourself, for me and my wife we'll go to Bellaria for spaghetti read more

I was told this place was very good and the sauce was excellent. Couldn't have been further from the truth. The sauce is on par with chef boyardee, literally. The salad, "garlic toast", spaghetti and lasagna is all low quality. Place was pretty busy which I didn't understand. Crowd mostly age 55+ read more

Absolutely rancid food, inside sources tell me how the cook premakes his noodles and sauce and microwaves it before serves. Disgusting and a disgrace to Italian food. We miss the old owners! read more

Went to this place with a group of friends and had a great dinner. The sauce has been the same since the 1940 and I know why, it was delicious! I had the cavatelli with two meatballs and it was great! I would recommend this place to anyone in the area if you have never been there! read more

Until The White Rose was sold a few months ago, it was a hidden gem. The Quartini family made you feel like family and the food was awesome. My husband and I dined there since and the change was subtle at first. But now. The new owners however have quite a bit to learn. But we won't be back. read more

This visit certainly was not there best. I think servers were all new but were doing their best with very little training. The salad was actually warm along with the plate and wilted. When spaghetti arrived was just average at best and kitchen really needed to drain spags completely. The place was like walking into a cooler as everyone was freezing. I will go again because I know that they can do better. read more

Had dinner with a friend. I had the house special angel hair with 2 meatballs and she had the cavatelli dinner. Even though the salad was just iceberg lettuce there were croutons, olives, and tomato and it was a decent size. They have a bar so you can get beer, wine or a mixed drink. The angel hair was cooked perfectly and their sauce is soooo good. It is a thinner sauce but it is very good. We got lots of fresh bread and butter. We both enjoyed our meals. Service was friendly. I will definitely be back. Prices are good also. read more

Little restaurant in a neighborhood that you'll easily miss. Excellent dining in a quiet place. Great spaghetti and excellent lasagna. Definitely a must place to eat for great Italian food. read more

Good sauce, good meatballs, plenty of bread, and the cheesecake huge. Very good service. The rug on the floor says est. 1940. Very cool

Truly a piece of Youngstown for those who can't make the trip. Food is just as good as the Y's best in a pleasant secluded location. Unfortunately this small seclusion is also part of the problem. The food is too good to be in such a crappy building and this negative leaves the atmospheric conditions terribly lacking. It's a gem for sure, but it could use a polish. read more

Food is always top notch. I recommend getting the xtra large portion in whatever you get because left overs are always good. They only take cash, and the ac isn't exactly the best. Only gave 4 stars because it looks like the place hasn't been updated since 1960. read more

My husband and I have been eating at the Rose for years but after the new ownership we were not sure about trying it again. But the salad is bigger. The greens have improved and the spaghetti has more sauce on it and portions are a little bigger. We will definitely be back and recommend to family and friends! read more

This is the BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT in all of Trumbull, Mahoning, and Shenango Valley! A cash only buisness but the prices are very reasonable! My family has been coming here for years and I even like dining here alone because the atmosphere is so relaxing and the murals on the wall are beautiful. Portion sizes are so big you can usually take home leftovers (which still taste amazing heated up later) and the salad with the house Italian dressing is the best! End your meal with a gourmet dessert from fat guy's bakery in Hubbard or classic Italian Spumoni! White rose never disappoints! read more

This place is my favorite restaurant. I have been coming here for over 24 years. The lasagna is to die for- the sweet cheese, garlic and perfect red sauce. Everything is homemade. Service is great. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Hidden gem. I almost didn't write this review because I didn't want to let the secret out. read more

I heard so much hype about this place, and we had to try it. I'm sorry but I didn't see what the mystique was. Portions weren't great and nothing really stood out. I think unless you grew up going there, maybe you can't understand it. I think for people it's nostalgia but I won't be back anytime soon. Nothing stood out as being that great; the prices didn't match the product. People might be coming here for the memories but if you are uninitiated, you have several better options locally. read more

Bad service! When I had to search out a waitress for a coffee refill I was ignored like I wasn't standing there. Food not worth going back for. read more
