    I have been eating Rosati's for 40 years. Best pizza by far. Great ribs, Italian Beef, anything and everything from here is awesome. Thank you ​

    The pie!

    Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3 I think I had too high of expectations for a deep dish pizza in Madison, but overall the food here is very good. Everything tasted fresh - mozzarella sticks, cheese bread , and the pizza all had fresh ingredients. It's hard for me to find a Chicago deep dish that is stuffed properly and where the consistency of the sauce used to top the pizza is more like sautéed tomatoes (diced) and not actual sauce. I like my sauce a little more hearty, but overall this is good food and good experience.

    Last night I needed a traditional type of pie, having been mostly visiting the Neapolitan styled places enjoying their fire oven pizza offerings nearly exclusively for ages. Getting a basic pepperoni pizza with a semblance of something that I hope is more authentic than the corporate versions offered by places that are the McDs of the US pizza offerings. Rosati's seems to be the best option in this area of west Madison. The sauce is certainly my preferred sauce type. Very tomato and garlic heavy. Tonight I drove around the cities western streets for an hour trying to avoid going home to have to eat which would mean I needed to cook something for myself. I'm very tired of having to cook for myself night after night. Easter I cooked for the family and like usual I had to do the dishes prior to cooking because the kitchen wasn't ready for me create properly. Following a nice family dinner I was graced with being the one who was expected to do the dishes. Some days I really wonder why I had a family in the first place. Oh yeah, my wife said she wanted children or what was the point. So I was strong armed into it. Now that she wants a divorce I realize that my purpose was served, now that the kids are grown. I'm half way dead serious about that statement. So tonight I decided to return to last night's pizza place because I discovered that they also have a small seating area. The place is a dumpy dive with very standard old school offerings and decor. Seating is sparse and uncomfortable. But the lady serving me was friendly and attentive. The Italian Beef I ordered was massive. Very well filled to overflowing meat and an abundance of hot giardiniera. That was my first time in awhile having this sandwich, and well beyond the last few versions. The jus came on the side. Something that seems like it should be the only way to get it. Back when I very first visited a place of this sort when I first visited or perhaps lived in the Midwest and discovered this creation when I still had very little experience in Chicago and what it was about, I was told to have the Italian Beef dipped. I didn't know what was going to be delivered to my table. It was certainly something that was about to make an impression. You can't eat it with your hands. Though I tried in vain. A huge mess. Still I'm often tempted to get it done that way because I think it is supposed to be done that way. But it is not a good idea. Sure, using a fork is an option, in fact I can only imagine the next best alternative would be to not bother using hands at all and dive in face first. After all, it's a messy procedure. Tonight I tried with the jus as a side to dip. It was still a mess, and this sandwich simply demands to be eaten very hastily. Did I already mention the jus was very good? This is the first time I've ever had it and actually considered adding salt. It didn't need it. But usually it's mostly salt and secondly it is not tasting of beef. I'm thinking if Rosati's has soup, it's probably very good. The only thing I would add is that the meal was served very quickly but the fries arrived lukewarm at most. Because they were still fresh tasting I didn't want to make a fuss. Adding a bit of salt and a lot of pepper, and I was pretty contented. Being an Italian joint I didn't want to embarrass myself by requesting tartar sauce. I LOVE black pepper and tartar sauce with French fries. Most people, including my previously mentioned irritant I'm soon to be referring to as the X, that's among the many things she's been using as a way to insult me for years. One that I admit is a bit legit. But hell, they're MY FRIES! I can enjoy them anyway I please. Thank you very much. Four stars only because I don't have anything else to really compare with nor do I want to state that this is the best of the best. But it's definitely a place I return to when I'm in the mood for this kind of stuff. Prices are great. Service is always from the staff, and that has been my experience at this location every single visit.

    I have my 12 coupons my son just couldn't come pick them up

    I called and had great service over the phone it's been a while since I e ordered from this location pizza hot good I had coupons but sent my son to pick up the pizza and they still gave him the price thank you Rosatis

    A medium Chicago-style deep dish pizza, Rosati's style. 6 slices weigh between four to five lbs together (no exaggeration).

    Want Chicago-style pizza in Madison? This place has that famous deep dish deliciousness that is so good that you won't finish it! Located next to a pretty good CBD shop (the owner owns both that store & this one), Rosati's is a restaurant that has the good stuff- fine Italian food that will put meat on your bones real quick! I had the craving for a deep dish while en route to faraway Wassau, and was not disappointed. The pizza itself takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare, which I imagine is the expectation for any type of deep dish Chicago-style pizza anywhere. A medium is somewhat pricey (about $20 or so), and I could only finish about three slices despite having a huge appetite. The seating area within the venue is somewhat dark for an afternoon after Wisconsin snowfall, yet has quite a few Chicaco throwback framed pictures on the wall to make you feel as if you are back within the Windy City (there needs to be more Madison stuff on the wall other than Badger attire, FYI). Good customer service, good food, and a full belly. That's pretty much my experience here.

    I received a coupon in the mail for a free pizza and they wouldn't honor it. I'd be more upset if they were better than second rate.

    I thought the pizza was okay, but not spectacular. I probably won't return.

    Good food. Good service. I like spicy Italian beef on garlic bread and their stuffed pizza (buttery crust). 4 stars.
