We are huge fans of Rosa's Pasta. This is a true Scarborough gem, and frankly, it saves us regularly! It's our go-to for work catering, especially since they are fully Halal, which is a huge benefit for our entire team. They also have excellent veggie options, so catering is always simple and satisfying for everyone. The food itself is pure comfort. What we love is the variety: you can pick different types of pasta and sauces, so when we order the large family meals or office platters, everyone gets exactly what they want. It's always delicious and the prices are always reasonable. read more

I am so offended that I did not come by this local spot sooner and was recommended by Tik Tok and friends that came all the way from Oshawa. The design your own pasta for less than $12 from an arrangement of varietal ingredients alone should bring you here; not to mention the sweet owners who cater the food with love. There was so much to choose from I decided to throw in a complicated mix that still worked out. There is no dine in and no need because the take out portions are plenty and the branding of the restaurant gives it that not too bougie but low key bang for your buck deal! I am so surprised this place does not have more reviews, the sincerity and joy of their service you'd think they are tryna hide something assuming it has to do with the food but its just a bonus cause the food just slaps! read more

Stopped in today after reading about them on BlogTO and I'm glad I did. They ordered the "Family Special" 4 pastas, you choose the pasta, sauce and up to three vegetables per order, one spring mix salad with choice of side dressing, 4 pieces of garlic bread and 4 cans of pop. All this for $37.99. Each member of my family chose their own version (mine is photographed) and everyone agreed it was delicious, the portions were perfect and everything was flavourful. The value is undeniable....oh, and the service was outstanding! Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Rosa's Pasta Express - Linguine w/ Rose sauce, onions, spinach and mixed peppers. - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Rosa's has changed ownership and under new management as of 2-3 months ago. I have yet to try it out since new owners have taken over but will give them another try soon. read more

I'm not even sure where to begin. First off, I LOVE supporting mom and pop type businesses. It's really hard to get into the food business industry and such high risks. Not many make it through their first few years, which is really unfortunate. BUT I am so confident that Rosa's Pasta Express will have no problem succeeding! You want to know why? It's really simple, good food and great service! The food really sells itself. I stumbled across this place on yelp today when I was looking for a place to go for lunch. To be honest, I've seen them on yelp before, but it didn't really catch my eyes until today. After going back and forth on what I should have, I decided to give this place a shot. They also had very positive reviews. Before going, I called ahead to make sure they took credit or debit since I don't have any cash on me, and luckily they do! They are located in a plaza that is kind of run down? But do not judge a book by its cover! The menu was simple to read for $7.99 you get to pick your pasta type, sauce and 3 veggies. For $2-2.99 you can pick your protein (ground beef, sausage, chicken breast) or $4.50 for shrimp. It also comes with garlic bread! I asked the employee which sauce she recommended and she told me the rose sauce which is marinara and Alfredo. I got spaghetti, mushroom, spinach, and originally I asked for sausage but the owner Donemic apologized and informed me that it wasn't ready yet and if I want chicken instead, I said sure no problem. Donemic even offered me a free pop for the inconvenience, I had told him no it's fine (cause it really was not a big deal, and I didn't mind at all) but Donemic insisted and that it'll make him feel better, so I opted for an ice tea. I was very impressed with his service. It really was not about getting a free drink. It was how he really wanted his customers to have a good experience and leaving with a smile on their face. Good food can only get you so far if business owners do not understand how important customer service is. And I really think Donemic nailed it in both departments. Now back to the food, it was very good. And for the price you really can't beat it! For $11~ I was left full and still had leftovers for another meal! Comparing the pasta to some restaurants, I MUCH prefer Rosa's! I didn't really too heavy after eating it, and it was well flavoured. The pasta was cooked perfectly! Not too over or under cooked. They even give you packet of pepper and salt for you to add in if you want. Did not cheap out on the veggies or meat. I got my food in under 10 mins! Overall, I love Rosa's and I definitely recommend everyone to try this! The price is great and tastes good. You can't get the same value at a restaurant! They have a family combo that comes with 4 pasta, 1 large salad and garlic bread all for $38! The kitchen is also opened which I LOVE! You can watch as they prepare your food! I can't wait to go back to try different sauces. read more

Rosa's Pasta Express - spaghetti being lifted by a fork - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is relatively new and already the locals in the area are flocking to this place. I called the store to place my order and was told that basically you build your own pasta choosing the type of pasta, sauce and veggies. Meat options cost extra. They make it fresh to order. I was kind of in a rush so I kept my order simple. Ordered 2 x Spaghetti with onions, mushrooms and ground beef (extra $1.99), one with rosè sauce and the other with basil pesto. My order for 2 pastas were ready in 6 minutes! Along with 1 pop, the bill with tax came to $22. Not bad considering the generous portions and quick service. But the must important factor is that food taste great. Must say, another successful find!!! I definitely recommend this place if you're in this area and craving comfort food. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Scarborough. They have really tasty pasta made to your specifications. The people here seem really nice. I have eaten here a number of times and enjoyed it. I never feel like I am being ripped off eating here. read more

We are sorry, but Rosa's Pasta Express is a RIP-OFF. Why would we spend 10 x the price for this food? Pasta and sauce is cheap to buy, yet why is it so expensive at this restaurant? We now refuse to be ripped off from this place, this location should maybe have an authentic Greek food place instead. read more

So flavorful!! I ordered the penne with rose sauce and my dad got the Halal lasagna special and we received fresh garlic bread with both meals. We were both very pleased, I wish I knew about this hidden gem sooner! Check this place out if you're in Scarborough!! read more

Oh wow this place is good! We have some dietary restrictions in our family and Rosa's was happy to accommodate. Portion sizes are very generous. Our pasta was cooked perfectly to al dente. Our family had two marinara dishes-one with chicken, one all veggie and a pesto dish with chicken and veggies. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Rosa's Pasta Express - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

For an express eatery, Rosa's pasta express is simple, delicious and puts fast food joints on their toes given the quick and delicious service and food at a highly competitive price point. The kitchen is clean and you can see and hear the importance of maintaining a healthy kitchen from the employees as they prepare their food. This is particularly important to me as someone who has a high gluten intolerance. The chef was mindful and asked the right questions to ensure the food I received was not cross contaminated. The ingredients are fresh and the serving is huge! My husband and I took the food over to the park around the corner to eat and genuinely enjoyed ourselves. If you're in a rush and want to get the best tasting quality of food, skip these fast food joints and head over to Rosa's - you won't regret it! Definitely a hidden local gem by U of T Scarborough! read more

Delicious food!!! I love that everything is homemade and that you can create your own pasta. The house salad dressing is a simple vinaigrette but so delicious read more

We have ordered 5 or 6 times from Rosa's Pasta Express and always been happy. Introduced several friends and acquaintances who live in the area to this fabulous take out restaurant. A week ago, we celebrated my husband's 80th Birthday with 15 family members at our home. The new owners (as of July 5th), were very helpful working with us to make the transition from their establishment to our home very easy and non stressful. Check out the choice and fabulous price - each portion easily serves 2. 5 ***** from us! read more

I ordered from here once. The sauce was homemade but disgusting. There was so much garlic and the pasta was overcooked!

Totally Awesome .. Best Take Out place in our Little Village of Highland Creek .

I just tried this place for the first time and I am blown away by the freshness of the ingredients and the delicious taste. The portions are also quite large and can easily be shared or eaten for two meals. So happy to have discovered such a great restaurant so close to my house. read more

Ordered from them due to their high score on Skip the Dishes. Really, really yummy pasta - I love that it is 100% custom order and they offer different items - stuff I never would have thought of (turns out green olives on pasta is AWESOME). Will definitely be ordering again. read more

I'm pregnant and I was craving pasta again, of course I would have gone to dominos and get pasta from there but I was looking for something else, my husband actually found this place, our first time going in. We get to the store we go in and the nicest people are there. We order the pasta and he tells us it's all homemade nothing from the can which in my opinion is always better. I am definitely coming back here!! I would recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Just ordered from Uber eats. Pasta portions are very generous. I took off a star since I didn't get what I ordered. I ordered a gluten free pasta with shrimp, spinach, red onion and mushroom. It came without red onion and mushroom. Instead it had sun dried tomato. Don't know if it was even gluten free... still delicious. read more

The service is amazing! The new owners are really courteous & really care about their customers. I always order for my fiance and myself and the food never fails to disappoint. The quantity is huge, especially for the price. It's freshly made and always made to perfection, just the way we like it. I love the Rose sauce, I always get that. This is my go-to place when I am craving a good meal!! read more

We ordered the linguini with rose, 3 vegetables and Italian sausage as well as linguini with basil pesto, 3 vegetables and Italian sausage. The food was delicious and the serving portion was quite generous. Appreciate the friendly service and the very short wait time for the food order. The cost was about 11 dollars for each dish ($7.99 base price + $2.99 for the extra meat). This place was a great find and will be a good go-to for takeout pasta. read more

This place is fantastic! Excellent food, fair prices and enough for leftovers. Going back later today!

This place is great. great portion sizes. amazing homemade sauces and the owners are great. To the person who commented on Yelp twice, her name is Catherine, you have some nerve. Not that you wrote 2 negative comments because that is your right. I question your motives, in both of your negative reviews you mention or compare to Lamanas pasta because you did that i know for a fact that you either have friends that work there or you work there. I know this because i used to be in the restaurant business and that is what snakes do. First off Rosa's makes their pasta fresh every order compared to Lamanas where the pasta sits under a heat lamp, drying the pasta right out. Lamanas has good pizza and sweets that's it. Secondly, your appalled that Rosa's charges 50 cents for extra sauce...go to every other restaurant or business and there are many extra charges for an extra item. Lastly, if your salad was bad I guarantee the owners who are lovely would have replaced the salad or refunded your money. I once got 2 pastas and they forgot one of the dinner rolls, the male owner offered to deliver it to me or give me a free add on {meat or shrimp} for my .50 cent bun, that is really good customer service. Keep up the good work Rosa's read more
