Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

It's been a year since our first visit and hoped for the same great food. However, my spinach salad came with raw, seriously raw -- no brown at all -- bacon. My husband liked his burger and the lobster bisque was great. Our server was friendly and very apologetic about the raw bacon. This place has so much potential. Perhaps the owners need to be around more to manage the quality.

Great food, wonderful service, clean place!

Nicest restaurant in Marion. Bistro style Italian. Some excellent dishes including soups. Nice treatment of seafood. Nice ambience, unusual in Marion. A bit noisy. Nice "Cheers!" type bar. Prices right.

Stopped here on the way home to Columbus from being out of town. Everything we ordered was very good, from the Italian Twisty Rolls appetizer to the entrees (my Chicken Diablo could have been spicier, but that's a personal preference). The service was very good, as well. We were there at an off time, so there were less than a dozen people there. Still, I've been to places where I've been with the only party in the restaurant and gotten terrible service, so good service under any conditions is worth mentioning. When I'm back in the area, I will definitely return.

Quality of food was good, service was so, so. The atmosphere was nice, but would have really benefited from excellent service. I was surprised they didn't have a kids menu, so I would not exactly consider this place kid friendly given the prices. It's worth checking out given the limited options in Marion for decent dining. Hopefully, they will work on the service aspect over time, and that will make a big difference.

Ate here with family while were in town visiting. The service was excellent - our server, Morgan, stopped by often and had an appropriate sense of humor. A previous reviewer said the menu is limited, but I'd say the exact opposite: the menu is huge. I had the sausage pasta, which was excellent. My husband had the BBQ chicken flatbread, which he said was good. The house salad dressing was pretty good, the breadsticks meh. My biggest complaint would be that they don't have a liquor license to serve wine on Sunday's, which is a real disappointment. I would come back here when I was in Marion again, especially if it was nice enough to sit on the patio.

We have given this place 3 chances and have been disappointed all 3 times. The service is the worst I have ever had anywhere!!! The food is mediocre at best. I ordered my steak medium rear and the server brought it out more then well done and gave me attitude when I sent it back. All 3 times we were seated and waited at least 10 minutes before a server came to take our drink orders and another 10 before he/she brought the drinks back! The only thing this place has going for it is the bar, which is well stocked with some great liquors. We will not be going back to Rosa and Rocco's.

I recently visited Rosa & Rocco's for my third time. Each time I have eaten there it has been great! I recommend the Lobster Ravioli! This last time I had plain old spaghetti (because it was lunchtime) and it was delicious as well. I personally don't think it is over priced when you compare to the prices of other restaurants in Marion and the quality of THEIR meals and service! I was greeted immediately by Tony and had a great server (Christian)! Both of them continued to check on me and make sure I was enjoying my lunch! I suggest asking for one of them when you go in, if you have had trouble with the service!
(5)David J.
Didn't know what to expect in Marion, OH at an Italian restaurant. I wasn't disappointed! Had the Chicken Piccata and it ranks as high as any I've had elsewhere. The onion dip as an appetizer, not so much. Nice place, will come again.

Speratic service but very good food once you gain their attention. The restaurants tables were about half filled. There were 8 employees including a manager and hostess who were serving and bussing tables. No employees made eye contact.
(1)Lynne K.
The service is horrible. Rarely saw the waitress once we ordered. Never heard a please or thank you from her. Had to complain it the manager which I do not like to do but Aurora was rude.

The menu is limited and once your food has arrived, forget ever seeing your waitress again. The bread sticks are laughable, I've had better at Little Caesars, they're small and hard on the ends and you and your table mates each get 1 I've been there 4 times; the first time I wanted to try it. The second time; another couple wanted to meet us there. Third time, I was there because my brother wanted to try it. Fourth time, bosses birthday and he wanted to try it. The quality of the food has been tough each time and the temperature has never been up to participate for any of my dining companions. The parking lot is packed on the weekends--the singles meet up there and are parked all the way around the bar; never at a table. I don't understand how they can keep their door open only on what they make on alcohol because I'm sure people aren't actually going there to eat.

Happy hour drinks and price are off the chain. Happy hour lasts until 9pm. The lobster bisque is rich but very good. The aha tuna appetizer is yummy. I totally recommend this place.

Ate here for the first time on 10/11/14. My wife had the Margherita pizza, a salad, and a Mojito. She commented that the drink was ok, the salad was good (minus the peppers and red onion), and the pizza was bland - not bad really - just lacking in any real punch of flavor. I tasted a bite of her pizza and agreed - not bad, just mediocre. I had the Lazagna ($14) and found it to be good. Had some very complex flavors which left me studying the dish with every bite. Definitely a little bit of Fennel, just couldn't put my finger on some of the other flavors. My only two complaints about the dish would be that 1) the sauce was chunky and I specifically asked my waitress if the sauce was smooth or chunky, and 2) the meat in the dish had good flavor, but was dry. I would give the lazagna a 3.5 - 4.0 out of a possible 5 stars. Service was very good, and the inside was slightly upscale as it felt like we were at Easton. $33 for meal and $7 tip. I would try it again. Not bad. Just not out of this world either.

We have eaten here a couple of times hoping the food would improve. Each time it had been very disappointing. For a new restaurant that is based on Italian cuisine and steak, I haven't found one menu item that I would truly recommend or would rave about. The service has always been great and prompt. I do not think we have waited more than 10 minutes from the time we were seated to getting our food. The food is over priced for what you get. We have gotten different versions of the exact same food every time. There doesn't seem to be consistency in the food. The best thing about our dinner was the salad. We had very high hopes to find a usual hang out spot, sadly this fell short. My recommendation would be give it a try and make your own opinion. Marion is very limited on options, personally I wouldn't consider this to be in the top 5 places to eat. I can honestly say that when we are discussing places to eat, rosa's is rarely brought up.

I seem to have had a different experience here than many of the other reviewers; frankly, I thought this place was great. I tend to be very critical of Italian restaurants because anyone can make average Italian, but it is rare to get good Italian - and this was really good. We got two appetizers, the bruschetta and the mozzarella marinara. Both were good, but the bruschetta could have benefited from a bit more cheese. Everyone got salad as well and the veggies and such were fresh and crisp. We also tore through 3 servings of bread sticks (best when fresh and warm). Three of us got the steak and pasta (one marinara, two alfredo) and fourth got a ribeye. Everyone's steaks were cooked properly to the desired done-ness and the pasta was great. Three of us ordered dessert as well, one tiramisu, one brownie sundae, and one cherry cobbler. The desserts are humongous and could fed 3-4 people each. The desserts were also excellent (mmm, cherry cobbler). Two negative comments: our server was a high school-aged girl and although she was attentive, she didn't seem to have the depth of knowledge that a great server at a restaurant would typically have. Second, I do not know if Ohio or Marion County has some draconian liquor law, but we were not able to order non-beer alcoholic drinks during our meal on Sunday evening. Boo outdated laws...

Traveling home to Dublin from NW Ohio, we stopped in Marion for dinner and happened apon Rosa & Roccos. The building is beautifully decorated and the restrooms were cleaned. I went 3 stars because, for Maion, this is a great restaurant. If this were in Columbus, I'd rate it a 1 or 2 star restaurant and not return. The waitress could have been friendly (notice I did NOT say friendlier), the kitchen was a bit slow and the food was just ok. The kids menu was limited but worked for my son. The lasgna looked delicious but lacked a wow factor. The Marinera sauce on the spaghetti lacked seasoning. Our meals included bottomless salad and breadsticks. The salad was colorful with a trio of peppers but the dressing was bland. The prices were average for an italian restaurant, too bad this place is below average overall.

I had a very sub par meal here and paid too much for it. We had salad--a bowl of uninspired salad mix with a few red onions and sorry black olives with Italian dressing served with tongs for sharing. I had the lobster bisque. It was fine. I could taste the sherry and it was nice and creamy with zero grit. But my pasta carbonara with chicken was not good. I have never had a carbonara like that. Extremely thin sauce and the chicken didn't even seem to be seasoned. It was a bit rubbery, as was the prosciutto. My friend had shrimp with asparagus. The shrimp were puny and the asparagus was wide and woody. It was overpriced and not great. The ambiance seemed okay (black and white, airy and clean) and I was happy about that at first. But the lackluster service and disappointing food killed the vibe for me.

I visited this place on Valentine's Day along with some family. When we arrived @6:30 we were seated right away, even though they had "squeezed us in" for our reservation. We ordered a bottle of wine, which took a little longer than usual to arrive. Our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed, and she immediately told us that it was very busy. I'll repeat that it was Valendtine's Day. Of course it was busy. We were patient, but starting the evening off hearing excuses did not impress us. The waitress returned a bit later and took our order. Of course, with only one or two truly vegan options on the menu, my turn read like that scene from When Harry Met Sally (no, not that scene... the other one, silly!). I asked for GF pasta- nice that they offer that- with arrabbiata sauce and all the vegetables they could find in the kitchen. I will pause here to say that I get it. It's not on the menu. However, if you're going to advertise and charge like a higher-end restuarant, then it's expected that you'll accomodate folks with special dietary restrictions. Look, it's just how it is. To my surprise, they do not have an arrabbiata sauce on the menu. Disappointing, but no problem. I decided to go for the pomodoro sauce. This whole thing threw the waitress off, and she began scanning the menu for something similar to what I ordered. She found a shrimp pomodoro and wrote that down. I repeated that I am vegan. I don't eat fish. She wrote that down, and we continued. I asked her to just have the chef add whatever vegetables he/she had in the kitchen. She replied that they didn't really have too much. Really? Just scanning the menu I saw broccoli, spinach, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and sauteed onions. I read those off and had her write it down. Mercy. Our salad arrived with cheese all over it, even though I'd told the waitress I am vegan. My family was kind enough to take the top portion off and not toss it further into the salad. The dressing was good, but the it was composed of iceberg lettuce, which I generally don't love. I did enjoy the pickled peppers, however. As the evening progressed, we ordered a second bottle of wine. An appetizer arrived- veal something- and everyone seemed to really enjoy that. The waitress popped by to let us know that they were boiling the water for the GF pasta, and our meals would be a bit longer for that reason. Ah well, good to get an update. Our entrees arrived and looked lovely (we did have to flag the waitress down one mroe time for red pepper flakes and parm for the table). I had a few bites and was quite impressed with the final product. It was a nicely balanced pomodoro with spinach, broccoli, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and carmelized onions. In fact, I think they should just go ahead and add this to the menu. That and a good arrabbiata sauce. I noted that another dish at the table had some beautiful asparagus. I'd have added that to my dish too, had I seen it earlier. All in all, the food was quite good and the wine list was decent. This is the reason for three stars. In fact, if I were rating it on the food alone, I'd probably give it four stars. The waitress was nice, and I realize she was doing the best she could. I just think, however, that there was some room for improvement in the service. It seems from reading other reviews, this is consistently an issue.

I have been here twice now. Once right when it opened, and the 2nd time just today. Today was the nail in the coffin for me. The first visit we just went to get a feel for the place and see what the food is about. A happy hour special was advertised so I decided to get a Manhattan. It tasted like they went down to a kwik-e-mart and bought their liquor from a choice off the 3$ rack. Just foul. The meatball appetizer we tried was just ok. I ordered a pasta dish with a vodka sauce and sausage. Was just ok. Tasted about like the kind I make at home with box noodles and Ragu. Of course we were offered dessert and so I asked if the Tiramasu was made in house. The answer was of course no. So I took a pass. The drink was oh so annoyingly full price as well on my bill at the end of the night. Even though a happy hour was shoved down your throat upon arrival. This was taken care of at least. Overall a very Meh experience. On today's trip we were hoping this place would have it's stuff together. Wow was I wrong. Upon entering we see a group of 5-10 teen workers swarming around the bar and squawking loudly like high schoolers do un-supervized. That was the first red flag. Now this place was really dead. only 2-3 tables occupied at the time. So why they had around 10 teenage workers standing around talking very loudly in a quiet restaurant is beyond me. So we sit down. NOW an adult worker(I am assuming an owner or manager sadly) starts VACUUMING around the restaurant. Yes, you read that correctly..... VACUUMING!!! Red flag #2 raised. We order Italian chips(Were actually good) and "Italian Onion Dip" with "Italian flatbread". What comes out is toasted pita bread surrounding a metal pan of pig slop. This was literally the presentation. A thin metal pan of gooey pinkish slop surrounded by toasted pita bread. I unwillingly took one bite and that was all she wrote. Yuck. Red flag #3 raised Gave it to the waitress. And got an "Ok". Not an apology or even "Oh you didn't like it". Was there something wrong?. Nothing. Was still on the bill at leaving. That is whatever but I thought it should be noted. I ordered the Chicken Carbonara as my entree. This was quite good. Not great or amazing but I actually did not regret paying for that. They put a bit much bacon in it but all in all this was a good dish. So this place blew it for me and my family. We will not be coming back(except for maybe those italian chips). Rosa and Rocco's need to get their act together. I will end my review with the one word that really describes this restaurant to me. DISAPPOINTMENT.
