Great service and very tasty food! Lots of space and a comfortable place to visit with a friendly staff!

Had the opportunity to try the Angel Hair Provencale recently. I was not impressed. The canned artichoke hearts had an outer layer on some of them which was difficult to chew. A little lemon juice would maybe have saved them. I was searching for garlic in the dish and it was not there. Seasoning was sorely lacking. The parm cheese the dish was dressed with wasn't salty enough to carry the dish. This dish is the $10.95 all you can eat, not the $16.95 he has it listed at on the dinner menu. Pass on this one! read more

Oh yes!!!! From the appetizer to dessert, AMAZING. Our server was perfect and so was the food. We began with an order of cheezie garlic bread. Perfection. My entree was the chicken Alfredo and it's among the best i've ever had. Love ate spaghetti and meatballs and they were terrific. The sangria is SO GOOD. For dessert we ordered the mud pie. A most excellent choice, please get it if you come here! Wonderful all around! read more

I went there last night with my mom and husband. The food was very underwhelming. The escargot was swimming in a flavorless, mushy, pesto that was devoid of garlic. My mom's scampi was bland and her ceasar salad was soggy and apparently drenched in Italian dressing. My husband's seafood provencal was similarly bland. Our waitress, when clearing the escargot dishes, had one stick to the bottom of the plate on top. She noted this and tried to pry them apart while hovering over the table. In the process dropping one as she did so and sprayed me with the oily mess. She saw what happened and me applying a stain stick to the spots but said nothing. Several washes and stain removal attempts have been in vain. The shirt is ruined. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I ate lunch here for the first time this week. They advertise lunch specials so I thought it was worth a try. The restaurant/dining area seems clean for the most part. They have a small parking lot and a small dining area. I'm not sure if they are busy on there weekends. I visited during a weekday lunch and there was only one other table there while we ate. We waited at the door for awhile before the bartender noticed we were waiting. We sat down and ordered drinks. I felt very rushed while we were ordering/eating. The server kept coming over to ask if we're ready to order or needed a box. We were having a beer at lunch...not in a hurry. The lunch specials are listed on a small card on the table and not in the menu. The special is a half sandwich and soup. I was happy with the portion size, taste, and price. The server brought bread but made sure to tell me it doesn't usually come with the lunch specials...so I won't get it next time. Overall- my visit was just ok. I might go back eventually but I won't rush to go back. read more

I hosted a baby shower for my daughter at Rose's this weekend. The owner, Rich, was super helpful and accommodating. We chose 5 entrees and they made a custom menu for each guest. Our servers, Jeff and Kate, made sure we had everything we needed and were so nice. The food was wonderful, as always, but the service was what impressed me the most. read more

Wow, this place used to be our go-to. We even had our wedding shower there! Since COVID it has never been the same. Tonight we went in with our kids hoping it had changed, nope. The server forgot half of our food. My husband ordered gnocchi with sausage on the side. They didn't bring the sausage so he had to ask for it. They brought it out in a completely different sauce then what his gnocchi was in. My son ordered the kids spaghetti and meatballs. They forgot his meatball and so she brought out 2. We assumed it was because she forgot it. Then we get the bill and she charged us for adult meatballs ($7 compared to the .99 for the kids). Finally, we overlooked all of this and decided to get dessert. My son ordered key lime pie and as he was eating it we realized it had plastic on it! We had already paid at this point. We brought it to their attention and she literally just asked if we wanted a new one. My kid could have choked on that! Such a mess-we won't be back! read more

As out of Towners, my wife and I, it was our first time, for family of twelve with 2 year old to 80+and Melissa meet every need, they are regulars; Melissa, our server, took excellent care of us. It's summer and this Italian restaurant pulls out the stops with local produce from their farms as they have been doing for two generations. The have Mama's recipes and the family has faithfully stuck to the basics of serving very good food all the time. We were the first ones there and one of the owners welcomed us at the door and he said good night when we left. Old school hospitality in action. The table had pizza, black pepper fettuccine, farm fresh summer vegetables with chicken in bowtie pasta, fresh breads, all was very good. Food tip: must have house made chicken fingers, appetizer read more

Had dinner here to celebrate my wedding anniversary with a party of 12 family members. Been here many times before The food here is good solid Italian food, I have not had a bad meal, definitely 4 star worthy. My problem with Roses is the service is non-existent, it's not they were rude but rather somewhat apathetic. I know of many establishments where glasses going empty is a big no no. At Roses asking for a refill seemed soooo painful for them. In addition I was annoyed seeing my server in the corner booth (you know the one Richie) folding napkins and yacking it up with a co-worker. Not one time did any staff introduce themselves, ask how were doing, do you need anything, hows is your food, offer any interest in my event or even how our day was??? You would think dropping $300 dollars Roses staff would gave a damn, nope, But who cares right guys, you automatically added on the gratuity because of the large group, so you're getting paid regardless of how bad you are. Reminds me of going to the DMV. Are they going to fix it, doubt it read more

Delicious Italian food that holds up well in a to go container. During this time, Rose's has offered a convenient drive up window to pick up all your to go orders. They have added family meal specials for those feeding larger families for a great price. We're happy they remained open during the epidemic to feed our Canton community. read more

I have been here many times and always a great experience. This past weekend we celebrated my Mother's birthday at Rose's (because we all like this place) but will be our last. My son and I were not hungry so we wanted to split a meal. Apparently they charge extra (which I hear is common) but I was not aware AND we received more food. The point of sharing a meal is to get less food. But what made this experience even worse was the service. Our waitress clearly didn't like her job. No plans of going back. read more

The wait was super long. It was a Friday night but it took longer than expected. The prime rib was not that good. The sauce was way too thick and I thought that they would serve real aus ju sauce on the side. That was my sons dish. However my chicken Alfredo is super good. And the breadsticks are awesome. My daughter did not really care for the pizza. And she's a pizza lover. read more

There are some very happy things to be had at Rose's but not so many I make this a regular destination. I like lunch here and I am a big fan of the salmon in dill sauce. It is served with rice and green and yellow bean mix. Tasty. I like the way they crisp up the salmon a bit while keeping it moist and delicious inside and dill sauce as a general rule is happy. They also have this dish at dinner but it is spendier for roughly the same amount. I also like when they have stuffed steak roll ups, just well seasoned and nice, something a bit different. They have a homemade gorgonzola dressing that is to die for. Seriously I ask for it to dip my excellent endless supply of hot bread into as soon as I sit down. It is happy on a salad too of course. That is a not miss item. The pasta just doesn't do it for me here and I am not a fan of the red sauce. I find red sauce in general is something I am extremely picky about though. My husband thinks the alfredo is just ok too. The cannoli is really good here and generally what I get for dessert. If there is no room I just take some home. They are always nice and crisp and they do not prefill them, they do them to order. I like that method as there is nothing worse than a soggy cannoli. The service is generally good, dress is fairly casual. Cheaper for lunch but spendy for dinner. A nice place all in all though, family and locally owned. It does get quite crowded though so heads up. read more

I've recently been back several times to sample many of the menu items & specials at Rose's. Everything here is excellent in quality, flavor & value. Out of my MANY trips I've had one dish that wasn't top notch, and the staff quickly made it right for us. I recently had their Prime Rib (Friday's & Staurday's only) and it was easily one of the best I've had (see pictures). The food & "Cheers-like" atmosphere keep people coming back here, myself included! read more

Rose's Restaurant - The famous Prime Rib. Friday's & Saturday's only! Cooked Medion, it was phenomenal! - Italian Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Sorry the spaghetti was just ok, but the meat balls were very good. Bread was nice and warm, the server was good but very disappointed on the spaghetti. Only two stars so far failed on the ribs and spaghetti. read more

Rose's was sooo much better eight years ago. Or maybe our memories were sweeter. Either way, this last visit is probably just that, our last. The escargot app was bland (and actually ate salt without becoming more seasoned). The Stracciatella soup was bland. The bread, while hot, was average. I went with the Prime rib, medium rare, but it came out well done. I would have said something but it took our waitress a good 10 minutes to come by our table, and by then I'd given up and just started eating it. Their au jus had a strange gelatinous consistency to it, and it was on the sweet side. Ken fondly remembered their frog legs and asked if they still had them available even though they weren't on the menu. Yes. It took forever for our mains to arrive... and then his frog legs were soggy and underseasoned. An all around disappointing meal. read more

Local loyalty might be biasing me, but I really enjoy Rose's - we don't go very often, but I have never had a bad meal here. The meals that others are knocking (steak, whitefish) I have had recently, and really enjoyed. In particular, I had a great piece of Whitefish and really really liked it - if you don't get as lucky as me, send it back. This place has great service and I am sure you would get taken care of. Ups: Bread - I can't believe no one else has mentioned it. It is hot, fresh, and covered in herbs. I have to stop myself from hogging the whole loaf that they bring after you order. Your server keeps it coming as long as you keep gorfing it down. House dressing - oil, vinegar, and Gorgonzola cheese. Probably some garlic and stuff too. Just fantastic. Stracciatella soup - Spinach and little teeny tiny chicken bits, in a homey, comforting broth. Very good. Service - we have always had great service here. Downs Smokey - the place is small and if you are sensitive, there really is no "non-smokey" section if people are at the bar lighting up. Pricey - for dinner it is tough to get out with a bill under $60 for a table of 4, and don't even think of drinks or dessert. read more

Me and mom went here, and the service was great! The bread they gave us was very tasty. I had their spaghetti and meatballs, and my mom had a salad. We both think the food was delicious, and we decided to have dessert. The key lime pie was amazing, it was very flavorful and the texture was amazing! We loved it, and I highly recommend this place! read more

Best Chicken Milano ever! Always hot, fresh and tasty food with big portions. Love Roses Restaurant so much that I had my wedding reception held there back in 2007. Also love that this restaurant grows all their own vegetables to be used in their delicious dishes! read more

Terrible. Second chance. 100% failure. Sat at the bar trying to get a drink and put in a Togo order. Bartender gave the " regulars " two rounds of drinks and one for herself, and one of the regulars was sitting at the bar at this upscale type restaurant spitting his chew into a cup which they allow him to set on the bar. Good way to spread hepatitis I would never recommend this place read more

One of my all time favorite Italian restaurants. The family is so supportive of the community and the food is excellent. Have been coming here for years and will continue to support them! read more

Love this place. We got take out from Rose's recently, which is very quick and easy. Spaghetti and meatballs were excellent, and the pizzas are awesome. We will absolutely be returning! read more

I only ordered the salmon caesar salad, which honestly was more than just a regular ol' caesar salad. I actually found the croutons to be delicious! I will definitely have to come back here to try their pasta dishes, especially after the friendly service my family and I had from our waitress! read more

It was okay Italian food, not the best but I've also had worse. The service was super slow and the place was dead for a Sunday night!

Stopped in for a Saturday lunch last week. Very slow lunch crowd in the dining room but a banquet was about to begin in a separate room. We did wait a bit to be greeted at door as no employees were on the floor. I saw a waitress looking at us from the kitchen but she didn't come out to seat us. This place is a family owned and operated Italian eatery and are famous for the large servings and fresh baked bread. It was very clean and very white with white tablecloths and white Kraft paper covering the linen. We made our drink order and it bit later our meals. Those that ordered meals had a choice of soup or salad, both were very good. All of our meals were served at one time, were of proper temperature and very tasty. Drink refills were slow as was obtaining additional bread loaves and butter. It had been at least ten years since my last visit but I will not wait so long before my next one. read more

What's very frustrating is when you come back to a restaurant after giving a good review and they tell me they can't make the same thing that I had last time or they have to charge me more because they don't have said ingredient. Unfortunately I won't be back. Stay consistent! read more

I live in Ypsilanti, and there aren't a ton of sit-down middle-class type Italian places. There is Paesano's between Ypsi and Ann Arbor, on Washtenaw Ave., and I'm not knocking it. However, it's the sort of place you go to for authentic upscale nouvelle cuisine crafted by a jet-setting and glamorous European chef. And you're lucky to get out of there for under $40 a head if you get a drink and/or dessert on top of an entree. What I wanted was more a "We stop by your Italian grandmother's place and she insists on feeding us" kind of place, and that's Rose's. It's a bit more expensive for dinner, but you could still feed two for under $50 quite easily. Lunch is actually a pretty good deal, and I think I paid less than $20 for an entree, side salad and an after-dinner coffee. The hot, lightly-herbed bread they serve you in a paper bag, gratis, is wonderful. I had read good things on yelp about the Gorgonzola dressing, so I made sure to add a side salad to my order, even though my entree came with steamed green beans and carrots on the side. The Gorgonzola is wonderful for dipping the hot bread in as well. I thought about getting the salmon but settled on eggplant parmesan. I had no complaints- nice thick, meaty slices of eggplant expertly breaded and smothered in sauce and bubbly hot cheese. The spaghetti on the side was perfectly al dente but I found the red sauce too sweet. I don't know if they use a different sauce for the spaghetti than the eggplant or if it was the same sauce and just melded better with the eggplant, but the spaghetti was "meh" overall. My steamed veggies were fine though it was not really the right season for green beans in early March. My companion had the lasagna, which came bubbling hot in its own ramekin, and he pronounced it "really good." Our server was attentive but didn't hover. She didn't seem to mind if we sat and talked after dinner over coffee for quite some time. She wasn't the warmest personality on the planet, but she was adequate and I have no complaints. Overall, I like this place and thought it was a good value. I plan to go back soon. read more

The service here is always top notch. The owner is always present and goes all out. Several times offering the kids free ice cream. Food is always great, and always has a great IPA on tap. I was telling my wife how I really liked coming here over Antonios down the street. I just feel this place wants you to be there and then they cater to you. This is probably the only mom and pop finer dining restaurant in Canton as well. Great Job! Last night we had Erica as our waitress, she was very attentive and friendly! read more

I would like to thank everyone at Roses for making my brother's celebration of life a wonderful experience. The staff at Roses was so kind to all that attended. The food was delicious. The room is beautiful with tables added for flowers and cake. Thank you so much for making the experience easy to handle during this very difficult time. read more

Wow! This was my treat for having to go run errands at Ikea-Target-JcPenneys this Sunday. I stopped by to get dinner for the Mad Man viewing this evening( some for now and some to reheat later). I got here right at open, which is 12 on Sunday and there was no one in the parking lot. I asked the servers when it gets busy and they said after 2, so I had plenty of time to get some carry-out before it got crazy. I went to the bar to order the carry-out and asked the bartender what he would recommend, since this was my first time here. After looking at the menu we settled on the Francesca pizza, which was a pizza with everything (I added anchovies), an antipasto salad, an order of spaghetti and meatballs and a tiramisu for dessert. While I was waiting, I had a pleasant conversation with one of the waiters, who had lots of information about the area and who brought me a complimentary cannoli to take home. He recommended that I reheat the pizza in the oven, not the microwave, if I was eating it later and helped me carry everything to the car. I had a hungry horde back at the house and we dove into everything. I never saw a pizza look so pretty! It had so many toppings on it that one slice was more than enough. The anchovies, which are usually crusted smears from the back of the refrigerator, were, on this pizza, fresh and luscious! So were the rest of the toppings. The person who had the spaghetti loved it. Everyone loved the bread, but what was the big hit were the desserts! OMG! We were so full that we never got to the antipasto salad so we have tons of leftovers! I am looking forward to going back to try the ribs! read more

Absolute 5-star experience from the moment we were promptly greeted upon walking in the door, to the friendly and personable service, to the incredibly authentic food! Our server Jeff exhibited great patience and enthusiasm with my small children and made sure to keep things upbeat and fun for them along the way!! Not to mention Rose's kids eat free Mondays promotion makes it affordable for a family such as mine! Thanks, Jeff, for a fantastic experience. Until we visit again! read more

I cannot for the life of me figure out how anyone could rate this place with anything higher than 2 stars. To put it bluntly, it sucks!! Service is horrible and the food is just above average. I have dined here in the past, and never cared for it much. You always feel like they are doing you a favor by serving you. They charge you if you want extra salad dressing and are fairly rude when advising that they, under no circumstanced will seat your party until everyone is there. I came here this past Sunday to attend a shower (so I really didn't have a choice). The servers were just not there to enhance our experience. For example, my first diet soda was refreshing and the glass was filled with ice. The following two refills were poured from a pitcher of flat warm pop and ice was never provided. The two servers took our lunch order from a limit menu. We were at a long table of about 20 women. We did not change seats at any time. When the food arrived, the server held it up, yelled the name of the item until one of us claimed it.... "tilapia,,,,, lasagna" It was loud, disruptive and totally unprofessional. Hey, here's an idea, how about looking at your order sheet (or whatever you refer to it as) and deliver the meal to the proper person. It's no mystery. You did take the order. Then coffee was delivered and when I asked for cream, the server told me "it's somewhere here on the table." Here's another brainstorm, how about dropping off a few creamers to those drinking coffee and want cream. I had the lasagna. It was just okay (and that's being kind). I had half of it left and my niece wanted to take it with her so she could have it during her break at work. When we asked for a doggie box, the server told us that they would not hand out carry out boxes during showers because the food would sit too ling without being refrigerated. Are you kidding me. As much as their concern touched us, would have been better to give us a box or go the extra mile and have us put our name on it, offer to store it in their cooler until we are ready to go. It was a slow Sunday. Come one now. I will not be back, unless I have to!!!!!! read more

I had dinner there last night and everyone at the table really loved the food. The desserts were awesome! Our waitress was very good - prompt, friendly, and helpful in selecting from the many wonderful options on the menu. I should mention that this is a family-run place. Rose was actually there that night rolling silverware in the cloth napkins. The staff orders off of the menu rather than having something special made. That says quite a lot about their enthusiasm for the food. Prices were reasonable. My entree cost $14, included soup and bread and was perfect in size. Most of the other members of my dinner party took home leftovers. If you're looking for a warm, friendly, comfortable, reasonably priced high quality Italian restaurant...go here. read more

My wife and I ate here and enjoyed their chicken parmesan and the prime rib. Both were great. We ordered pizza for take out. We met one of the owners and talked about their history. It's cozy and a great place to casually dine. Enjoy. read more

I've been here several times and always have an excellent meal with outstanding service. The bread is unique and oh so good. I love that they have the paper table cloths. My son enjoyed coloring while we waited for dinner. Their alfredo sauce is the best I've ever had and they brought me out a sample first so I could try it (I'm picky). Definitely a gem in Canton! read more

My wife and I came here on a weeknight for the first time. We heard many great things about this place, and it definitely did not disappoint! We began with the stuffed mushrooms which were incredible as our appetizer. I had the stuffed chicken with spinach/artichoke over angel hair pasta with parmesan cream sauce off of the specials menu, and it was amazing! We ordered cannoli's to go, and they were as authentic compared to the cannoli's my wife had in Italy as we could get. Will definitely be returning to this place to explore the menu! read more
