Cheesy garlic bread
Zanita W.

Decided to try a new restaurant while my sister was in town and we were pretty much blown away from this restaurant. It was one of those "slow burn" experiences where at the beginning, it was kinda meh but the longer you are there, it gets better. The ambiance was quite simple, white cloth over the tables; very family style classic Italian restaurant. Clean and versatile enough for small tables and large parties. My sister and I had on regular clothes and didn't feel out of place. We started with the cheesy garlic bread, delicious. You can tell it is made from scratch. i grabbed a sangria which was fruity and refreshing. We also both got two different pastas, I got the black pepper fettuccine and she got a special which was a tuna steak pasta. Both portions were huge and you can upgrade to a Caesar salad for $2. What we didn't know that each entree came with a FULL SIZE loaf of bread! I felt like it was an incredible portion for the price. Around $26. You can also upgrade any pasta to family style for an additional $3 if you really want to save some money. I didn't even finish my meal except for a few bites and still had pretty much two full meals to take home. We finished up with the mud pie which was like a cookies and cream pie with hot fudge, nuts and whipped cream. Very delicious and sweet...also huge and shareable. Overall, this was a very pleasant surprise for us and I will be back soon!

Pasta Carbonara

At the door they told me it would be a longer wait because the kitchen was backed up. We got sat in 15 minutes and food was so fast! Chicken in the pasta had no seasoning but besides that everything was fabulous. The bread was amazing. Service was phenomenal. We'll be back!

Known as "Straccitella Soup" this is a great way to start any dinner.
Ron W.

During the recent pandemic and unfortunate lockdown in the state of Michigan, there were many classic and family run restaurants that went under. Some of these renown establishments had been in business for well over a century, but couldn't make it in the end. Thankfully, Rose's implemented a drive-through window operation, which really helped them to weather the storm. I received a phone call from long-time friend Jeremy, who wanted to meet up for dinner. We decided to meet at Rose's, since we both haven't had any Italian food in a very long time and we were both glad we did. I had been craving freshly cooked pasta for a while, and this was a great opportunity to satisfy it. To start any meal at an Italian restaurant you need freshly baked bread, and a cup of soup. The bread is so delicious, you have to be careful not to eat too much of it before you're main entrée is served. I decided to go with Straccitella soup, and it really woke my taste buds up and they were begging for more. If you have never tried it before, give your palate a treat. I decided to go with "Fettuccini Alfredo with Shrimp." This has been one my favorite entrées since I was child, and I have to admit that I really love the fettuccini that Rose's serves, as it's truly homemade. Conversely, a few other Italian themed places I have visited around Metro Detroit, say they order their pasta already pre-manufactured and it's delivered frozen, which IMHO reduces the quality and taste. Thankfully, the interior hasn't changed since the pandemic, and many people were having a fun time at the bar. With that being said, our server Kate did a magnificent, first-rate job attending to our needs and those around us. I wish more restaurants could find experienced waitstaff as good as she was. So if you want to enjoy some delicious Italian food that is way above what you receive at places like Olive Garden, and other similar Italian based eateries in Metro Detroit, then visit Rose's in Canton, you'll love it.

Chicken Fettuccine
Louis B.

Food was good. Corn chowder was 9/10. I think it was a 10, but my lady has the final say. Service was good. Had one waitress, but it was early and she was handling business. Chicken Fettuccine is 7/10 Chicken Parm 7/10 I would go again. The bread was very good. That and the Chowder were best things we ate

Chicken parm
Dan A.

Service and food were great. We love that you can split a meal since we were not super hungry today. So we split Chicken Parm. We got a plate with veg, chicken and pasta. Soup or salad as well. More than enough.

Black pepper pasta with chicken, delicious!!
Linda P.

Great menu selection. Hearty pastas. Nice environment. Banquet rooms are nice too. Excellent clam chowder soup! And you will enjoy a loaf of warm bread with some butter.

Cannoli sundae
Kayla G.

Absolutely love Rose's. Best fettuccini alfredo I've ever had. I'm constantly trying to recreate it but nothing comes close. It's always hard to choose between soup and salad because the salad is always so fresh with great ranch but the stracciatella is soo good. Im always so full after eating here but will always make room for the delicious cannolis. Its a family run business that always has friendly staff and is a great environment for any celebration dinner.

Menu

The food was excellent and the service was very attentive and friendly. The place reminds me of being back in the kitchen of an Italian grandma, who was cooking up authentic food from scratch. We will be back!

I'm not sure but something has changed. We've dined a few times recently before I've updated the…read morereview. The pasta is overcooked, the sauces are flavorless, the seafood overdone. The new'ish server was rude and messy. She had our food on her sleeve, tried to pour our wine in regular glasses and even though the place was almost empty, she was nowhere to be found when we needed her. We'll wait a few months before trying again. I don't want to give up since they've been on the top since they opened but something is going on and it's not a good change.

To start, five of us shared the arugula salad which was simple and fresh, but oddly came without dressing (which we asked for upon realizing it was dry). We also got the garlic bread. I would recommend skipping the garlic bread all together because its not very different from the complimentary bread. For mains, two of us had the chicken parm, two of us had the cannelloni di carne, and one had the gnocchi. We also shared two bottles of wine which seemed fairly priced. Overall, the food was ok but certainly pricy for what we received. The service was polite but inexperienced and inattentive. There were some mistakes with our food but nothing major and they were able to rectify. We also got a panettone to go ($25 for the medium) - yum!

Pros- food is delicious, pizza, pasta, salads...their ranch is our fav and the bread basket, yum!!…read moreOur waiter Zack was great, accommodating, kind, and on top of things. Parking is easy and the restaurant appears clean. One negative comment- so we made a reservation for 15, and we had one extra child, bringing us to 16. The host (older lady with shoulder length reddish brown hair), made it exceptionally clear she was annoyed and continued to quote their policy of "banquet menu" once our party got to 16. I understand, it was an accident, and tbh didn't require us to be moved, just an extra chair. It put a sour taste in my mouth, as I was guest of honor visiting from out of town; you made us feel unwelcome the moment we walked in. As a host, you shouldn't be the one representing the restaurant. If you're upset, go home. Mind you, this is a Tuesday evening at dinner time (the restaurant wasn't busy and there was NO wait). Kudos to the wait staff and chefs, all our food came out at once, no send backs- I know for large parties it can get crazy, you all did amazing. I hope management can use this as a teaching opportunity to the host, as I'll be sure NOT to return to this location the next time I'm in town due to this experience at your establishment.

Let me begin with the fact I am a big fan of the Dearborn Heights location. Never a bad meal in…read moreover thirty years of patronage. The Canton location looks beautiful inside and out. I decided to give it a try. I regret that. They were well-staffed and it was an hour and a half before closing, That seemed enough time to not endure the rush to close activities so prevalent in restaurants, Nope. By 8:15PM, I felt patrons were being conveyed we're kinda in the way, not the actual purpose of their work as well as the lion's share of their paycheck. I was stunned at how much my prefered dish, Chicken Antonio--which was never cheap, has increased in price over the years but worse was the execution. The salad was good and the bread as always, excellent. The main course? Not so much. I know I should have sent it back, but I didn't. I really hate doing that for fear of angering the guy cooking my food. I've seen Waiting... Soon as I took a bite, I knew something was off. It seemed oil-soaked. Now I know the breaded chicken filet is sautéed but this was greasy. It was greasy to the point by the time I ate less than a third my stomach was queasy. My teenaged server asked if my meal was okay. I told him "not really" which seemed to stun him and leave him without a response. He came back a few minutes later to ask if he could do anything. What could he do? Well, maybe call a manager or send out the cook--but I wasn't going to ask. He seemed new and nervous so I wasn't about to be a Karen. Maybe these servers should be instructed to send a manager when they're told something is disappointing? Come to think of it; I often have experiences a manager stopping by to ask if my meal was satisfactory. In my previous Antonio's experiences, that was kinda common--and part of the charm. I really felt they cared. I ended up--for the first time ever, taking home 75% of my meal hoping reheating in my oven will help. We'll see tomorrow when my stomach is up to it. The closing routine after 8:30 was certainly distracting and not at all what one would expect from a fine restaurant charging a premium such as here. The smell of Windex used to clean the doors was just overwhelming and I felt like we remaining patrons were getting the bum's rush. In closing, I was also disappointed they don't offer a Veteran's discount which is more and more a standard thing today. Even Cracker Barrel has started. I hope they change that policy. I'm sure I'll continue to go to the Dearborn Heights location, but this experience gives me pause at the Canton location.

I've gone to the market more than a few times but finally was able to visit for lunch one day…read morerecently and the restaurant experience was great! It was a bit busy, a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but we didn't have trouble getting a table. Everything on the menu sounded good but in the end we split an order of the grilled calamari to start and I went with the elicoidali boscaiola for my entree. The calamari was very good. Quite heavy on the citrus but I really liked the grilled zucchini and marinated beans that came with. I actually wish we had a little more of the zucchini though. The elicoidali boscaiola was delicious though quite rich. It's house-made elicoidali pasta in a white wine cream sauce with pancetta, shallots, garlic, mixed mushrooms, peas, chicken, and pamigiano. The portion was also huge, especially for lunch, and came out piping hot. I had more than enough for leftovers to take home (which reheated pretty good, even though cream sauces don't always live up to a second meal, I definitely had some separation with the butter but it still tasted great). At $27 for the entree it was pricey for lunch but considering I got two hearty meals out of it I won't complain!

All of the other Italian restaurants in Canton don't even come close to your food! Thank you for such excellent food! We will always eat here! If any of you get a break you should try Roma's in Southgate, Michigan their food is pretty close to yours.

The meatballs in the spaghetti dish were delicious. Flavorful and not dried out. The sauce tasted like it had been cooked with love. I also liked the short rib. The sauce had been elevated with some wine, and the meat was tender and rich. The accompanying potatoes were so creamy. I would order both dishes again. We each got a dessert. My husband got the tiramisu and I got the chocolate cake. I guess the tiramisu was just ok. I loved the chocolate cake. On our second visit, we tried the Rigatoni Caprino and the Chicken Marsala Florentine. Of the two, we liked the rigatoni better. It had that super red sauce on it. The sausage was on point, and the goat cheese complimented the rest of the dish so well. The marsala was good, though my husband I agreed we had both had better. The sauce just lacked something. My husband wasn't that impressed with the Crème Brûlée cheesecake, and wouldn't order it again.

The ambience was romantic and a perfect setting for a birthday. The table bread with Italian beans and a unique dipping oil were both delicious. We all really enjoyed them and probably ate too much of it! We then started with some appetizers, the escargot, the calamari, and the torte de Formaggio. The calamari was very good but a small portion and hard to share beyond two people. The Formaggio was the winner of the apps. I really like escargot, but probably would not order this escargot again. Dinner salads were next and several of us upgraded to the Caesar, which was a smart move. Definitely enjoyed it. For entrées, two of us had the Seabass, and three of us had the lamb chops. Both were OK, but honestly, a little disappointing for this quality of a restaurant. The lamb chops were thin and a little tough, and the Seabass had a little bit of a fishy taste. We also had an order of the shrimp and scallop Bucatini, which got a great review. For dessert, they brought us their crème brûlée on the house, which was very nice. We also ordered the chocolate mousse cake and the maple cheesecake. All of it was devoured, but I think the crème brûlée was by far the best. I'm not sure but I think it may have been the best I've tasted.
