Troop Leader Cocktail
Jesica V.

Bar Rosa is one of my favorite go-to spots in Tacoma. The cocktails are thoughtful and distinct and the food is simple, fresh, delicious, and nicely presented. They've got a great mastery of their pizza oven because their pizzas and flatbreads are always perfectly prepared -- with the right combination of crispness and chew. The Burrata they serve is fresh and creamy and the greens are always crisp. And if you like espresso martinis their Troop Leader is one of the BEST. So is the For Rosa cocktail, which brings a perfect blend of sweetness, tang, and bitter to whiskey. The service is great, the inside ambiance is pretty mellow and comfortable and you can sit outside -- which is nice on pleasant night even if the street itself is a little Tacoma Gritty.

Good food, chill and moody vibe, but pricey. Service is friendly. Wine selection is super limited. Two things I didn't love so much was the lack of proper wine glasses, and then no ice bucket for my bottle of white wine. Other than that, the seasonal salad with squash was top tier. So was the tiramisu. Cute little date night spot for sure.

Burrata and flat bread
Laura H.

We had the most delicious dinner at Bar Rosa last weekend! I started out with the Mexicali Blues cocktail and we shared the burrata and flatbread appetizer. Both were fantastic! The flatbread is phenomenal! We also had the foraged pie. It was just as delicious. Maybe one of the best pizzas I've had in Tacoma. Foraged Pie: rosemary béchamel, mozzarella, fontina, provolone, adam's mushrooms (shiitake/oyster), garlic confit, flakey sea salt. The ambiance is dark. There are candles lit and the whole vibe is super cool and very relaxed. The service was great. Everyone was so friendly. We did have to wait a little bit for a table, but it was well worth it.

Calabria Pizza

My mom ordered a pizza and we were expecting it to be very good when Meghan the manager gave her terrible service. To start with the pizza was VERY oily and the whole pizza was dripping grease. So my MOM went to go exchange the pizza for a new one. When she went to exchange this pizza Meghan the MANAGER gave her a huge attitude and slammed the pizza box on the counter because we wanted a new pizza. The after she proceeded to walk away and make my mom stand for 30+ minutes on a new pizza. But all in all the service was terrible, the first pizza was very bad but the pizza they exchanged us for was good which is what we were expecting from this place.

margherita

After a long day of moving, we decided to grab a quick lunch and found Bar Rosa on Yelp! My boyfriend is a pizza snob and loves wood fired pizzas so we thought we'd give this a try since we're new to the area! We got the margherita and the calabria pizzas. We also came during happy hour and I got the passion fruit cocktail and he got a beer. The cocktail was way too strong for my tastes so I gave it to my boyfriend. The pizzas were tasty and the dough was nice and fluffy. The scissors it came with was different and my boyfriend liked his a lot! Mine was a little sweet for my liking with the lemon ricotta and it was definitely interesting but I think I'd try a different one. It was on the pricier side and ended up costing around $70 for the two of us. The waitresses were nice and they leave a carafe of water so you don't really interact with them much. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we went and there was plenty of parking on the street!

Amazing pizza oven

Bar Rosa was recommended by several friends so I thought I'd give it a try. I got there for happy hour and enjoyed one of their drink specials, a delicious passion fruit margarita. I was warned the Diavola pizza was spicy, and it was - just the right amount. I'm not ashamed to say I ate the whole thing all by myself lonesome. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Spiced greens pizza
Mattea D.

Bar Rosa is the perfect spot for a date night without kids (no kids allowed, can't recommend takeout because it's so inconvenient). The food is good, the service is ok. Parking on the street (not hard to find) We ordered a salad, two pizzas and tiramisu. The citrus and fennel salad was delicious though lacking fennel (mostly greens). We liked the spiced greens pizza (plus sausage!) and the gabugool pizza! We ordered enough to take home nearly a full pizza (yay us!) and the tiramisu was great. We probably would've been in and out with more responsive service but they also don't rush you so just depends on what you'd like! Will go again at some point when we get a babysitter, so maybe an update in 3 years.

This place is for my gals who wanna have a good time with good food, or the couples who wanna have their own perfect date night with some wine and pizza. Since it's December they've got their interior decked out in beautiful Christmas decor. Let's talk about the main course, the pizza, of course! It's ideal for fans of thin-crust pizza--crispy, light, and oh-so-satisfying. We tried the Margherita pizza, a classic with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, extra virgin olive oil, and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Simple, fresh, and delicious! For something more unique, the Vesuvio pizza stole the show. Topped with provolone cream, oregano, chili oil, red onion, wine-roasted crimini mushrooms, prosciutto, pecorino romano, and fresh burrata, it was an incredible flavor explosion worth every bite. Also a special mention to this drink my best friend ordered, it was an interesting blend for me but she loved it so much she got two, it's called Rosa's Mulled wine which had brandy, red wine, Xila Mexican amaro, allspice, orange, cinnamon, star anise. This drink is served hot and it's perfect for the cold season to keep your body warm. Our server was great too! He continuously checked on our table from time to time and didn't rush us to pay our bill.

Additionally, they had another coupon for 50% off pizza that you can combine with your birthday offer. They are located close to where we live and we've only visited their location in Puyallup. I got the 12 inch Carnivore and it was ready within 10-12 minutes which was great as that was a little less than how much it took to get there. It looked gorgeous when I took a picture of it and I shared with my boyfriend and little brother who enjoyed it too! Some differences that I noticed is that the outdoor seating is just a few tables and chairs outside so you can enjoy your meal outside and they do have dog water bowls out too! The other difference is that dogs are also welcomed inside! I told this when I received my order and I was chatting with the two employees at the counter. I wished I had gotten their names but they were so inviting and kind. That was another difference, I got service as I feel like that is very lacking at the Puyallup location. They were also friendly with their other guests as well! I definitely look forward to coming back with friends, family, boyfriend and fur babies!

The restaurant was already busy right when they opened, so I definitely recommend making reservations in advance. Even with how packed it was, the service was warm, attentive, and everything came out beautifully paced. The food was incredible across the board. The chicken schnitzel is always my go-to and my mom completely understood the hype; crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the slaw and rice. The scallops were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, and the burrata bread pudding appetizer was such a standout that the whole table was talking about it. We also tried the tapioca dessert (not pictured) and I already know I'll be ordering it again next time. One of those places that manages to feel lively and trendy while still being comfortable and welcoming. Great food, great atmosphere, and consistently one of my favorite dinner spots in the city.

This was my favorite pizza place for the past 3 years. My husband and I loved all the pizzas here,…read moreespecially their classic Margherita. We encountered the owner, Marshall a few times in the first year when it opened. He made sure every table enjoyed their food. He also introduced us with Calabrian chili peppers and we absolutely fell in love with it. It has become our favorite Italian ingredient to add to our homemade pizzas and pastas. Thank you so much for opening our eyes to Italian chili peppers! We took many of our friends and family to APizza. We both are huge fans of wood fired, thin crusted pizzas and APizza just nailed it! Everyone we took to APizza had the most delicious, thin crusted pizzas. When we found out about the closure, we were so sad... We wish the best of luck to the owner's family in exploring the next step in their culinary lives. We hope that you will consider opening a restaurant again in South of Seattle. We will travel to taste your pizzas! Until then, we will make trips to Veraci Pizza in Seattle. Thank you so much for the good food and memories again!
