3.5 stars. Multiple…read moresources raved about La Casina Rosa, so we made it a must-go during our Dresden trip. Without reservations, we knew to go later in the evening (~9 PM), and luckily, we were able to get a table from a no-show. La Casina Rosa is a small place, no more than 10 or so tables. The ambience was comfortable and intimate, and with the wall painting of what looked like Tuscany, one could imagine having a decent Italian meal. The server was friendly but slow in attending us. We ordered a house salad, "Pizza Casina Rosa" (tomato, mozzarella, spinach, garlic, and parmesan), and "Tagliatelle alla Molisana" (lamb, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and rosemary). The food was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was delicious. I love the combination of Molisana. The unfortunate mishap came when our server completely forgot our salad. We could have forgone the salad, yet we still asked for it when our entrees came. Instead of bringing the salad during our meal, the server brought it after we finished our dishes. It was literally having salad as dessert. That was a first for me. After the salad, the server didn't come back to check on us for anything else, so after some time, we forwent the actual dessert, paid our bill, and left. Perhaps this place is overhyped or we just had an unusual experience.

We ordered the 4 cheese pizza and pasta tagliatele which were both good. The pasta was with meat…read morethat was too cooked and the dish was pretty small but still really nice. Prices aren't too high and the restaurant was completelly full. We would recommend especially because it is outside of the touristic area and just nice to feel you eat like a local. Service was nice..no English though
