Excellent authentic Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches and deep-dish pizza!…read more We skipped eating before driving west from Baltimore to Frederick (Jun 2026) for the sole purpose of getting authentic Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches from Rosati's! It's a dense crispy Italian roll filled with tender long-simmered traditionally-seasoned lightly spicy thin-sliced lean beef. Never microwaved, because that would have a tragic impact on the texture of the beef. It's served with your choice of softly sautéed sweet green peppers, or giardiniera spicy pickled vegetables mix. We went with the sweet peppers which really complemented the savory flavors of the beef. And the sandwich has anywhere from a splash of savory au-jus to a full-soak. We got the juice on the side for dipping bite by bite. Rosati's kindly gave us two little cups, enough to make the sandwich fully "wet". We have it that way when we can handle a super-messy sandwich, but today, dipping was the wise move. They have great authentic Chicago-style deep-dish and "tavern-style" thin crust pizza here too. Today our heart was set on the Italian beef! This Rosati's is takeout, along the west side of a strip-mall just off the highway. It's easy to find, with plenty of parking. The owner has been there every time we've gone, which is a sure way to uphold quality, and they do!

Their online ordering system gave me quite a bit of trouble, to the point where I considered going…read moreelsewhere. Switching browsers is what ultimately made it work. I ordered takeout, but I will say that I did not realize in advance that the place would be basically a pure takeout with only a single table (albeit one that was well-attended during my visit). I've been to several of the big players in Chicago. The pizza here smells right, the sauce has the tang you'd expect. The crust didn't quite hold up for me, making for a messy pizza and not the most impressive flavor. Ordering a spinach pizza was a good decision as the spinach was abundant. A salad was robust in size, though they did not have my first choice dressing. A tiramisu made a nice divergence on a later date. They made two mistakes with my order, giving me a garlic bread with cheese that I'd ordered without, and not giving me a side of sweet peppers that I'd ordered. These weren't huge enough to make we want to drive back there to get corrective action on. Overall, I got the deep dish pizza I came for, and if I really had a hankering I could see ending up here again, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

Excellent pizza! This is probably the best spot in Frederick in my experience for Italian food.read more

Came here on a Saturday night without a reservation. We were sat at the pizza bar in plain view of…read morethe pizza making operations. Oddest part was while we sat there - there was a 2 top table free almost the whole time we were eating. So - we could have easily been waited on in a normal setting. Nice place overall - different areas to sit, outside dining, etc etc. Service however was atrocious. It may be the fact they don't have enough people in the wait staff, but our waitress was as absent as it gets. Asked for a refill, took forever - after ordering appetizer it would have been good to then put in our entree order - but wasn't until the pizza came out 25 min later that we could do that. Asked for bread, she remembered after our entrees came out 45min after ordered - 4 small cubes. You would think when you're struggling at waiting on a table, you'd try and make up for it. Pizza was good. We got a Margherita pizza - standard and fresh as we watched them make it. For my entree I got the penne vodka and added a meatball. Lol. No sauce on that meatball and it was cold. Flavor was good on entree. The next time the waitress came back I begged for the check - to which we paid and got out of there as "quick" as we could. Food 4/5 Service 1/5

We ordered a variety of starters to share. We ordered a cheese pizza, Parmesan Truffle fries and Loaded Tots, nice sized portions. Very tasty and would definitely order again. I ordered the Smash burger; I had been looking for a place that had a great Smash Burger, and this was the place, nice crispy crust on the outside very good flavor and just what I had envisioned as a delicious Smash Burger. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to the needs of our group. The atmosphere was upbeat and welcoming. The owners are super great; the young man was a former student at Parkway Elementary where I worked. I highly recommend checking out The Garage, you won't be disappointed! Tracey W.

I've been here a few times now, both for carryout and dining in, and it's been consistently good every time. The pizza is super cheesy, fresh, and just hits every time. Even my friend, who isn't really a pizza person, loved it. The wings are also a standout. We asked for them crispy and they actually got it right -- which a lot of places don't. The bourbon kick wings were really good. The only miss for us was the lemon pepper wings, which were a bit heavy on the seasoning. Every time I've had this pizza, it's been hard to wait -- my first visit, I didn't even make it home before digging in. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot is always a solid choice.
