The Rosa shows that sometimes taking something old and making it new again can come out quite well. The founder opened the family-style Italian gem in 1927 using the family home to do it. For 55 years Ralph Rosa fought all odds, including the Great Depression and Prohibition, and continued to provide Portsmouth great Italian classics. For the past 30+ years, The Rosa has continued under new ownership that remodeled and updated, but kept plenty of familiar dishes. Notable menu items include the house-made herb gnocchi with slow braised espresso pork shoulder and lasagna Bolognese. The vanilla cheesecake with an Oreo crust and strawberry compote makes the perfect ending to a memorable dinner or lunch at The Rosa.

    We visited Row 34 for the first time to use a gift certificate my wife was given for her birthday. We are not raw-bar people, but we ordered the restaurant week three-course meals. We started with clam chowder which was delicious! My wife got the fish and chips, and I had brioche-crusted cod. We both thought the meals were fantastic. Dessert for my wife was the chocolate chip cookie and I had the butterscotch pudding. Great endings for a fabulous meal!

    Such a beautiful date night experience. From the lighting, fireplace, servers, quality, taste, smell of food. Completely perfect visceral experience that I’d recommend to everyone. My wife and I love it here and the menu, pairings and overall ambiance are our favorite. Best place to eat in Portsmouth, hands down and such a beautiful date night locale.

    The food was amazing (and it is consistently). The service was fantastic, including the hostess. And the vibe was good (not loud or noisy, music was good, not too snooty). Definitely a favorite of ours. I recommend the filet and the brussels.
