The food here is amazing. It is one of most authentic Italian
restaurants I've been to in a long time. They do not have a liquor license but
you can bring your own bottle of wine and enjoy it with your meal. I even saw
one table bring nips to add to their coffee.
The only thing about this place that even slightly detracts from your
meal is that the tables are set in very close proximity to each other. The night
that my mother and I were there we were unfortunate and were seated next to one
lovely couple and one terrible man. When the man seated on my right wasn't busy
snapping his fingers at the waitress and yelling her name across the room he was
being generally rude to his dinner partner. Since we were seated close enough to
be unable to ignore what he was saying it made dinner a little awkward. But the
couple on the other side were all smiles and happy to share a few words here and
there. Overall it was not something that ruined our meal but it is something
that could have been better if we had been seated with two nice couples. I
imagine it can sometimes be a great plus to a meal here if you can get the
opportunity to have conversation with other people from the area that you might
never meet as long as you don't mind the risk of sitting with someone less than
pleasant. One bonus to Cafe Rossetti's is that if you don't want to risk being seated in
close quarters with strangers, you can always opt for the take out option
instead and eat it at home.
We needed reservations to get into this restaurant on a weeknight so
plan ahead and don't just drop in.
