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 gathered for an early birthday party for my 46 year-old son who is soon to be 47! His brother and sister-in-law and 10 year-old Mia listened and asked questions from our waitress. I forgot her name, but she was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Our waitress made this experience for my family, warm and enjoyable and exciting. Blessings to our waitress and to the Rosa for their hospitality. Thank you very much
