We were in the mood for Italian and found La Rosetta and it was good. Calamari was tender and plentiful. Clams oreganato was delish. Nice and garlicky just like we like it. Shrimp with clams and mussels fra diavolo was nice and spicy, yes, just like we like it. Eggplant parm was sliced nice and thin but filled the plate. Both entrees came with a nice size salad. Enough going home with us for dinner tomorrow. Yay!! The owner came buy to greet us. He was very pleasant. BYOB. Restaurant.com for coupon. Well worth it. read more

La Rosetta Cafe - This is what comes home tonight. - Pizza Near Me - Sayreville, New Jersey

The food is always good here. Very disappointed at their unfair business/scam practices. Used my debit card to place in order and for a large pie which is advertised as $13 on their website. My debit card shows a pending charge of $15 and we did ask to put $3 tip on the card. Checking my bill today the full charge came out to $20... Not fair to cheat and scam customers... read more

Food came quick. That's where the good ends. I ordered veal parm. Veal had no breading, noodles were hard, and sauce was bland.

Ordered 2 entrees, Chicken Parm and Sausage & Peppers.. Chicken Parm had four nicely sized pieces, tomato sauce was flavorful and mozzarella plentiful. Sausage and Peppers was served over a bed of pasta. Each included a large side salad, large sliced of tomatoes, carrots, roasted Peppers, cucumbers and olives. Was definitely pleasantly surprised and will order again! read more

So bad I wouldn't even give it a star if it let me. the wings were the worst wings I have ever eaten. they breading/batter wasn't even cooked. the sauce was on the side. It's like they made no effort cooking anything. The pizza was the biggest hot mess of garbage I even seen. they couldn't even get fries right they were soggy & gross read more

La Rosetta Cafe - Breading was nasty - Pizza Near Me - Sayreville, New Jersey

When I saw the pictures here, I figured walking in on a Friday night would be a good time to just go with specialty slices in the window. I was pretty upset to only find a few favorites. That said, the buffalo slice (last one) was excellent, lots of chicken, very tasty. Chicken bacon ranch slice (only 2 left) also great. The rest of the options were pretty generic- a sausage slice, a white broccoli and some Sicilian slices rounded me out. Pizza was very good, no complaints. Side of meatballs were big and tasty, and 3 to an order was nice. So why only 3 stars? The garlic knots we got were disgusting. They tasted like old cardboard. Just terrible. I don't know if they used old oil, or just made them a week before they heated and served them to me, but they were gross. Stay away from that and you are good to go. read more

This place used to be great. Not sure what happened but they have gone down hill over the past year or so. I have frequented here many times just for the sole purpose of proximity to my house but each time is sad and disappointing. But this time I decided to grab a couple slices on my way home for a quick late lunch and it was the worst decision I made that day. Slices looked like they sat out all day and were not fresh at all. Pizza is greasy and the cheese tastes fake. Plus my family got upset stomachs and felt sick after eating here. Will definitely be not going back and would not recommend. read more

I placed an order on Slice.com....which was a large chicken parm sub and fried calamari. The calamari was over cooked and dried out. It was crunchy. The chicken parm was actually fried chicken tenders on a sub with cheese and sauce. Total garbage! I will NEVER order from here again! read more

Just had a quick dinner on a Sunday night and the food and service was fantastic. The owner recommended we get the larger appetizers which was the perfect call. We have the fried calamari which was crisp and tender and our main meals were huge and tasty. The food and service was so good, we made a reservation for New Years Eve. Highly recommend. read more

Daughter loves this place We had takeout for her 20th birthday. Owner Jason what a great guy

I had a retirement party for my husband yesterday which turned out great! Jason, the owner, assured me that everything would be perfect and it was! He worked with me on a beautiful buffet menu at a very good price. He even added food to upgrade the package at no extra cost! What a beautiful surprise! I had 45 people and they raved about food and it was plentiful! Beautiful decor and wonderful service! Thank you! read more

Specials looked great, I had the meat combo with Veal, chicken and eggplant parmigiana. The eggplant was very good but both meats were tough as shoe leather, would not recommend it, stick with the eggplant parmigiana. read more

I used the ordering system here on yelp to order from La Rosetta Cafe. This place is .9 miles from my house. It is now an hour and a half since I placed the order. My money is taken but I have no food. Something needs to be done about the ordering system here on yelp. This is the second time my order took over an hour and a half from a restaurant right by my house. I called the restaurant and they do not pick up the phone. I will place a complaint with paypal. read more

This was my first visit to the NEW Rosettas since Roger and his son Mike took over. The food was just as good if not better than what I remember when it was Villa Venezia. The wait staff (Marco) was awesome. I had the shrimp parmigiana. Not only was it delicious but the portion size was big enough that I had enough for lunch the next day :). And the garlic pretzel twisted bread was to die for! God I missed those. All I could say is "welcome back Mike, Roger and Bella! Looking forward to many more delicious meals in your beautiful new dining room." read more

Came inside was about to leave after I ordered one of the workers had no mask . Had a barbecue chicken slice which tasted old and some garlic nuts that were very oily and over cooked worst $7 I spent on food will never go back read more

I have been here a few times and the staff is always friendly and more importantly say thank you. Just had grilled chicken over spring mix which was a lunch special for $9.95 and it was great. Comes with bread and choice of beverage so it's well worth the price. Haven't tried their pizza yet though it looks outrageous. Try it out you will not be disappointed read more

I walked in a grabbed couple slices for a quick late lunch and will never do it again. Slices tasted like they sat out all day and maybe for two days. Pizza was greasy and the cheese tastes fake. Terrible place. read more

THEY ARE OPENED FOR BUSINESS!!! My Husband ordered delivery From LA ROSETTA LAST NIGHT for our 'Date Night'. OMG is was amazing sooo delicious. I had the Knocci with the meat sauce and a lil extra Vodka sauce on it!!! It was delicious!! Best I have ever had!!! My husband had the Shrimp FriDiavlo seafood Special with the mussels and clams. It was amazing . Food was delivered fast and Hot!!. Delivery Driver 'Ralph' was very nice, great service. We will definitely be doing this much more often!! Kudos to all at La Rosetta!! Great Food & Great Servce!! read more

Cannot speak to their other dishes, but would absolutely not recommend for pizza. We ordered a large pie, half plain / half chicken and broccoli, for pickup. It came out to about $18. The broccoli was wet and tasted like it had just been defrosted. The chicken and broccoli chunks were both overwhelmingly heavy. Combined with the wetness of the broccoli, the slices fell apart as soon as you tried to pick them up. The plain half was also a little soggy and average in taste, at best. Highly disappointed and regret spending any money on this pie. Will not order pizza from here again. read more

GREAT byob in Sayreville. So many fantastic classics on the menu (eggplant rollatini is SPOT ON). But it gets better! The daily specials are always interesting, a real hidden gem to the area. We have not had a bad meal from here. I almost forgot the garlic knots! I could write a review solely on the garlic knots. I promise you, this spot is worth the stop! read more

They need new Pizza Makers Me and my wife pop in here every 2 weeks and as of the last 2 months the slices they heat up should be thrown in the garbage. Yes we come in after 7pm sometimes and yes the pizza has been sitting but with very dried cheese and cardboard crusts and cutting your gums on these slices we are DONE. How dare these guys attempt to serve this stuff is beyond me Also the other guys that worked here 4-5 mths ago made a thinner crust pie ( which was better) so now even with a fresh pie I stuck with it till now after all the OLD pizza they serve after dinner read more

This is one of my favorite local Italian restaurants! it's a BYOB - the food is awesome and the staff is very attentive and friendly. They remember the "regulars" which is always a big win for me :) My favorite dishes: Penne vodka with shrimp is amazing Garlic knots are on point The seafood combo gives you healthy portions of fresh cooked shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, and a lobster tail. The calamari marinara over pasta is very tasty too, a favorite of my fiancée's. Presentation - every heaping dish comes served with a fresh herb sprig. A liquor store is right next to it, so if you forget your wine it's super convenient. read more

Great Italian food! Great place for a lunch or dinner! We had the napolitan appetizer which was great! Balsamic calamari was fresh and crunchy full of flavor! We've also had lunch here many times pizza is delicious and rice balls are great! We definitely recommend eating here! read more

Did not like the pizza here. Wasn't fresh and overall it lacked flavor. Even heated it was very dry. Sauce needs seasoning. Crust was too thick for our liking, and overwhelmed the pizza. read more

La Rosetta Cafe is very casual and in a strip mall....but don't let this fool you! The food is as close to fine dining if not better then most of the Italian restaurants in the area.....maybe even out of the area! The chef is professionally trained presenting great palate pleasing taste along with pleasant meal presentation. I had the stuff pork chop special and came nowhere near finishing it...... and don't miss on trying the balsamic glaced calamari! Both were off the charts! The large portions, courteous staff, nice decor, and great prices make this establishment a gem! Please don't miss out on this culinary treat! read more

Wow, very great food, all my guests liked food, we order for small 30 people party with subs, chicken wings, grilled chicken and parmigiana, food was awesome. read more

Never disappoints, I come to La Rosetta Cafe at least once a week for lunch. Have had everything from Chicken Ceasar Salad, pizza, as well as gnocchi bolognese and chicken Marsala, all exceptional. The service is always attentive and helpful with suggestions. The newly renovated dining area makes for a great dining experience. FYI the owners are previous owners of Villa Galleria and Villa Venezia in Sayreville read more

By far the best tasting pizza in the area. Not only is the food amazing but so are the workers and owner. Very welcoming upon arrival. Fresh ingredients and unique toppings make this place the absolute best. read more

This cafe is so delightful! A romantic ambiance. For starters we had the Antipasta Freddo. It was absolutely delicious. Another appetizer we enjoyed was the Maryland Crabcakes. They melted in my mouth. I then enjoyed a cup of authentic Pasta Fagioli. Which was perfect!!! For my entree, I ordered the Three Musketeers. Chicken, Veal and Shrimp Francesc over risotto. The chicken was melt in your mouth. The shrimp very large and tasty and the veal was tender. My husband ordered Grilled Fillet of Salmon in a lemon white wine sauce. The Salmon was light and flaky and cooked to perfection. Our server Melissa was on point. Checking on us regularly to make sure we are happy. Our glasses were never empty. The complimentary glasses of white and red wine were fabulous, For dessert we enjoyed Strawberries with Cannoli cream, Zeppolis and Cannolis. A perfect ending to a perfect meal. Buon Appetito read more

Great place! Food was excellent, portions are big!! Service was great, waitress Michelle is wonderful. Highly recommend.. can't wait to go back And it's a BYOB read more

Horrible food. There should be a negative review for this junk food. Took my wife for lunch and would have had a better meal at McDonalds. Our waiter was great, but the food was horrible. Nothing but salt. Please do not waste your time going there. Came home to cook something. Never again!! Had to come home and eat!!! read more

Excellent pasta made here! My favorite is Pasta Puttanesca and theirs is some of the best I've had. The dining room is very nice, romantic and new. Their pizza is very good too!!! read more

Found this place by accident. It's in the same lot as QuickChek, I noticed the "Grand Opening" sign. I got the Grandma's and the Chicken Caesar salad slices, both were quite enjoyable. Nice crust, yummy sauce and nice people running it. I will be back when I'm in the area. read more

Ordered pasta and meatballs - terrible. Not enough marinara sauce and it was very bland. Meatballs were terrible and bread was stale. A shame because this use to be a great italian restaurant. read more

I absolutely love La Rosetta! I was a regular at Pizza Heaven, but their service is unfriendly. Won't say thank you however La Rosetta appreciates my family when we eat there & treats me like a human every single time. Plus their pizza is Divine! La Rosetta.....THANK YOU. You are the BEST in town...& in ALL of NJ. read more
