The Rosa

Our waitress Tiana was amazing and tried really hard to navigate us through their new menu options. They had just changed their menu the day before and decided not to include any vodka sauce (which I had been craving). And then because they were learning their new menu, they couldn't substitute any pasta for a different type. I can't blame them for that. The food was pretty good! It was a bit al dente, which I'm a fan of but other people may not like. I wasn't the biggest fan but maybe when we come back in a month or two, they'll have improved after adjusting / learning their new menu.

Good Italian food, excellent service. Nothing fancy but simply prepared and always delicious. Spaghetti and meatballs, shrimp scampi and appetizers are recommended. Large space so rarely a wait. Right in downtown portsmouth so easy walk if you are in the area.

The food was really good maybe not as much food as one would expect for the price. The waiter appeared to be a little distracted. Needed me to repeat some things to him. Didn't seem to take his job very seriously and that's cool I guess. Had to go find my own takeout box. The atmosphere was very nice. The food was very tasty.

Fair prices and nice atmosphere. However, the meal and service could have been better. Burnt bread, very salty Carbonara, waiter seemed to forget about us and we had to find him to get the check at the end.

Really great atmosphere with the open kitchen. Family friendly service and good Italian fare.
