We went there for lunch. Ordered some this king like tomato based slow cooked pork and seafood spaghetti and vegetables. The spaghetti is unique and tasty. It’s taste just nice but my friend said it’s too salty for him. Pork and vegetables are good and normal. Actually sourdough can be better. It’s cold and very hard. If it’s toasted or warmed up then it could be better. Their staffs are friendly and nice! Overall it’s nice environment and good food.

Nice atmosphere and the waiter (guy) was attentive. The food was ok. My friend’s spaghetti was better than mine. I ordered a tagletelli with prawns and it was a bit bland. And we ordered a few sides to share. Apparently they change their menu seasonally.

Very cozy place to have dinner here. The chicken liver is tasty and the prawn tagliatelle is also delicious.

The name of this restaurant isn’t that fancy, and it’s located at hidden spot (first floor inside a building). BUT the food is on par with all other fancy names restaurants out there. Excellent service by Bradley, explains very well what’s on menu and all his recommendations were yummy

Oct 2022. Was catching up with friends hadn’t seen for years so wanted nice restaurant, preferably Italian, where there was no 90 min booking cap like so many places these days and a friend recommended Rosa’s Canteen and so glad she did. The 6 of us loved it. The 2 vegetarians shared starters of whipped ricotta and fritti misti (vegetables) while the meat eaters shared calamari, meat croquettes and we all had olives. Mains 2 vegetarians pastas (mine was linguine pesto) 2 meat pastas and 2 rabbit! Rabbit! With side of artichokes. Desserts, cannolis, tart of the day (cherry and hazlenut), dessert of the day (similiar to tiramisu) and gelato (blood orange, pistachio and zabaglione). Drinks, Proseccos, Champagne and beer. While coffees, well okay they only serve traditional Italian drip coffee so no soy decaf for me! I did try their traditional but way too strong for me. Also had their Italian cola which was average. Our waiter, Tatsi was very good. Total approx. $700 so at higher end. So yes would return but only for a special occasion. Note, did not like the facilities at all.

Relaxed casual atmosphere with delicious authentic Italian cuisine. Only slight gripe is they are so authentic they don’t make any lattes, but small matter and staff were very polite and friendly about it. Gave us the right amount of time to select our dishes without being pushy. Would definitely return!

Nice restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Food was great and service was amazing. Rosa runs the ship and really cares about the experience – she’d insist on plates and cutlery being changed between courses so that dishes taste their best.

Really great Italian restaurant in the heart of the city. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic customer service. We were served by a very friendly bald man (sorry!) and he was fantastic to deal with and made us feel very comfortable. The entree was the best croquettes we have ever had, and the homemade pasta was delicious. The tart special, mandarin and custard, was absolutely a standout and honestly should be a permanent part of the menu, it was amazing. Have already told family that we will be bringing them all here for the next family birthday!

The food was OK – salumi starter was nice and the chestnut pasta something a bit different. Everything else seemed a bit under-seasoned…even in the desserts the cannoli filling was not sweet at all and didn’t seem to have any taste. It would have been fine, but giving it 3 stars because the service could have been better. As others have commented we felt like an inconvenience, bordering on rudeness.

My second visit to Rosa’s after and enjoyable first visit in 2019. Didn’t disappoint this time either. The young male waiter provided good service, the kind you rarely find these days. They were also very understanding and careful in preparing a Coeliac friendly dish.
