The Rosa - Portsmouth

For what we paid, the food wasn’t that great in the portions were relatively small. The place was clean and everybody was friendly however, I don’t think it was worth the value. I had the lasagna, and it was kind of bland and the proportions of meat to everything else we’re not correct.

Honestly, we 've had better meatballs that come frozen. For an Italian restaurant, the basics, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parm should be perfect, but tasted like a lack of effort. So disappointed. Frustrating when a restaurant does well based on location and not quality. The wine was decent, our waiter was attentive, but overall not impressed. Even the red sauce lacked complexity, tasted like jar sauce and nothing was warm enough!

I would recommend The Rosa to all my friends and family! From the ambiance to the homemade pasta you will not be disappointed! The staff were accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure my experience was perfect. I will be going back!!

Great pasta!!! Party of 5 and we all enjoyed our meals.

Classic Italian fare with large portions at good prices. Entrees include bread, salad and choice of pasta. Back rooms are a bit quieter. Great for family get togethers.
