I have developed a real fondness for Rosetta's, and as promised I have increased it to 5-stars. This is not to say that I don't have a few comments, but the food, the atmosphere and the value are all undeniable. For those living in this area South of Boston, you would be foolish not to give it a try. This evening, I had the Chicken Giuseppe. It is somewhat different from the dish with the same name I have often ordered at another favorite Italian restaurant on Federal Hill in Providence. The one in Providence has eggplant and prosciutto de Parma, with garlic and mushrooms in a tomato-based sauce with white wine. Rosetta's version is in a superb Marsala wine sauce with fresh garlic, mozzarella, generous amounts of mushroom and chicken breast, and yes, it is absolutely delicious. Another favorite at Rosetta's is their Chicken Cacciatore, which arrives chock full of peppers, onions and mushrooms, on a bed of penne rigate, in a superb tomato-herb sauce with wine. Although it is made with chicken tenders (as opposed to chicken-on-the-bone, which I usually prefer), and also has spicy Italian sausage, their cacciatore has very very deep layers of flavor, and practically begs for some of their homemade Italian bread for dipping. In the past, I have also had their Veal Piccata (very satisfying and delicious) and even a pizza. All very good eating. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about a good homemade Italian restaurant in Canton--it just seemed not very likely--and I am very pleasantly surprised, and pleased to sing its praises! read more

Wow! I love Rosetta's. They have pasta, steak tips, fried seafood, pizza, sandwiches and so much more! This time, I had pasta. It tasted like heaven! If I want takeout from Rosetta's, then I want something different. read more

This place is family owned and every single dish tasted like it came straight from someone's kitchen. Comforting, flavorful and just so delicious! TRADITIONAL MARGARITA PIZZA Their traditional margarita was amazing. Thin crisp crust with fresh mozzarella basil and a bright tomato sauce. Simple clean and so flavorful. You can really taste the quality of their ingredients. CALAMARI ZINGARELLA Crispy tender calamari topped with a flavorful mix of peppers onions and seasoning. Every bite had the perfect texture and the sauce gave it a little extra kick. So good. CRAZY WINGS (BONE IN BUFFALO) These wings were addictively good. Crispy skin juicy inside and coated in a bold buffalo sauce. Such a great appetizer and full of flavor. BRUSCHETTA MOZZARELLA Toasted bread loaded with fresh tomatoes basil garlic and melty mozzarella. Light fresh and delicious. Loved this so much. LINGUINI AND CLAMS WITH WHITE WINE SAUCE We chose their homemade pasta and it made the dish incredible. The pasta was tender with the perfect bite and the sauce was fragrant with garlic olive oil and white wine. The clams were fresh and plentiful. Absolutely delicious. SEAFOOD DIAVOLO (EXTRA SPICY) This dish was loaded with shrimp mussels clams and calamari tossed in a spicy tomato sauce. The homemade pasta soaked up all that heat and flavor. If you love spice this is the dish. So satisfying. ROSETTA'S SIRLOIN Cooked perfectly tender and juicy. Served with veggies and sides that paired so well with the steak. Flavorful filling and a great non pasta option. MAMA ROSETTA'S MEATBALLS We got these to go because we were so full, but they were juicy flavorful and clearly homemade. Tender with rich sauce. Outstanding meatballs. Portions here are generous and you can choose homemade pasta for all dishes which makes everything taste even better. Dinner was filling comforting and full of flavor. Rosetta's is always packed with families and regulars and their bar is always lively. Carlo the owner is often right at the counter taking orders answering questions and making everyone feel welcome. He knows the ingredients and cares about every dish that goes out. Love this place so so much. Highly recommend if you want delicious, homemade Italian food with great portions and a warm family owned vibe. read more

Typically we eat at the restaurant or the bar. However tonight, I was exhausted so we got takeout. The food is so delicious, the Greek salad was so fresh. They take attention to every detail of the experience, we got grilled chicken with the Greek salad. They put it in a separate container, that's a professional move, no one wants a hot sloppy salad. The pizza is just as good as any pizza spot in the area and there are plenty of great options for pizza in Canton. That to me says a lot, because they are able to make great pizza and still out preform every Italian restaurant that I have tried in the area. I highly recommend, and they have very respesonable prices. If you choose to dine in, they have a decent wine selection and very fair price points. read more

Great food and staff the best food around you can't beat the prices all a great experience can't wait to go back w

We went here Friday night with a friend who is a regular. Our experience was not enjoyable. We were treated very poorly from the minute we arrived. We went to sit at the bar as no tables were available. The owner then comes over to us and says if ur waiting for a table, ypu can go wait on the wooden bench unless you are going to order a drink. We were going to order a drink but the bartender never even waited on us or acknowledged us. We then sat at our table and had to wait again to be served. We finally ordered our food which was very good by the way. However, when we began to eat my husband cut into his and realized it was chix parm and not veal as he had ordered. When the waitress/bartender Mary came over we asked her and she said, yes thats chicken if u really want the veal i can put it in but its going to be awhile. Ill just charge you for the chicken. Really?? My husband wanted the veal or he would have ordered chicken. The service here is much to be desired and the owner and Mary were not vety nice or accomodating to us. Its a shame as the food was good but i definitely will not be back. read more

Stopped in around 5pm after my daughter's basketball game. The restaurant wasn't busy, and we asked--twice--to be seated in the bar area so we could play Keno. We were approached by two different staff members. After speaking with us, both said they "needed a minute," which didn't make sense given the simple request: a table for three in the bar area. We were then told the bar area was reserved and that parties of three could only be seated in the dining room. We were seated in a tiny booth crammed right next to another family, despite plenty of open space elsewhere. It felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, especially given how empty the restaurant was. We left without ordering. The experience was frustrating and disappointing. We went across the street to Takara instead and had an excellent meal. Rosetta's didn't give us the time of day, so we won't be giving them another chance. read more

A large portion of veal saltinbocca with crispy veggies for only $21? Yes, please!! It's enough to share, but we never do. Rosetta's has the most DELICIOUS Italian food around, big portions, and it's not a "foofy" atmosphere or over-priced like many Italian restaurants around Boston and the South Shore. It is our go-to place for indulgent Italian food. If I went more often I would probably have a weight problem. Carlo is also a really nice guy, and he and his staff did a great job doing a buffet luncheon for my MIL's funeral last weekend. Amazing seafood dishes as well, and try the Tiramisu! I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it.... read more

Rosetta's Salmon Piccata is definitely a must try dish! Prices and the servings are reasonable. Comfy environment, I highly recommend Rosetta's Italian Restaurant for a great experience and meal, and don't forget the fresh bread!!! read more

This is a favorite for local Italian food. Small restaurant in Canton center never disappoints. Very unassuming looking - you'd never Expect food priced this reasonable to be SOOOO good! The Service is always great. They still serve freshly baked bread, which is no longer the norm. I always say I'm going to try something different and end up having my tried and true. The chicken Giuseppe, chicken, sautéed with crushed mushroom and marsala wine, tossed in fettuccine pasta, topped with crushed garlic and melted mozzarella cheese. I can't get this anywhere else! I always change it up to shrimp and gemelli pasta! The best, only $24! We ha the stuffed mushroom appetizer. My dining partner had the grilled 12 oz sirloin topped with Demi glaze, served with red bliss Parmesan mashed potatoes and vegetable of the day, only $25! Her potatoes were too salty, they made her fresh risotto, no problem, the risotto was delicious! No room for dessert, plenty of leftovers. Always love Rosetta's! read more

Last night was our first time at Rosetta's. Quite honestly, when you look at it from the front, it doesn't look like much. But when you get inside everything changes. They're bar is a traditional old time bar. And i'm not sure i've ever seen a place with more cocktail options. Their dining room was quite nice. The menu options were terrific. Our waiter was very attentive. Very good experience highly recommended. Also, Carlos, who is the manager (owner?) called us back to confirm our reservations. Overall, we were very impressed. read more

Had a great meal! The food was good, service was great. Nice people sitting at the bar with us! Will be back read more

Food was excellent! Delicious and tasty and priced accordingly! Italian cuisine is their mainstay, however, the salmon was delicious!

Always a great spot for dinner. We went with our infant and the staff were very accommodating with putting us in a spot where our infant was able to interact but not overly stimulated or too noisy. Food was delicious and service was friendly and efficient. read more

This place was not at ALL what I expected and I feel so much regret for not trying it sooner. The dining room area has an old timey fancy italian restaurant vibe that I found super charming. The booth seating was super comfortable. There were white table clothes and the waitstaff were personable and the right amount of attentive. There were also regulars raving about how they brought a new set of friends... walking into this we were suddenly super excited for our meal! We each ordered a drink - the Sex in a Snowbank which was a fun seasonal cocktail with coconut and pumpkin favored liquor, and a Cosmo. Both very good. We were given some complimentary crusty bread with oil. Tasty. We ordered half salads, Greek for me and beet and goat cheese for him and the Popeyes pizza which was olive oil, basil, garlic and goat cheese. All were made very well. This place is a gem. And has a lot of non-tomato options for those of you with bad reflux. And non-meat options for the vegetarians. The bar area has, which we haven't sat in yet, has a small town, let's play Keno! bar vibes. Which is always fun. Another positive note, they were ready to accommodate a large group of kids and adults coming from a middle school play and made sure to ask us if sitting near the kids would be ok. The waitstaff was just totally on point. Some final particulars - Rosetta's is in Canton's downtown area toward the end of the business section, so there is a fair amount of street parking in pretty close walking distance. We will be back! read more

Where do I begin? First time eating here with a group of us and we couldn't be more pleased with the food the waitress the owner , everything was fabulous. I highly recommend it and we will be back often. read more

Did take out here and food was fine. Staff seems friendly enough.the seafood diavola pasta was good. I ordered extra spicy but I think they gave me the regular version though. Mussels don't taste that fresh but the scallops were tasty Chicken parm was okay but did not have enough sauce. I enjoyed the cheese but overall it did not wow me. There aren't a ton of good restaurants in Canton so this place is suffice if you don't feel like driving far. I would recommend Rinos in East Boston for some excellent pasta. I would give the place a 3.5 but rounding down to a 3 because I did not get my extra spicy seafood diavola that I ordered. *edit* i'll round back up to 4 stars, i appreciate the owner taking the time to respond and checking in on the request. apparently i do have a high spice tolerance so it did not taste spicy at all to me :) read more

Don't know why it took me so long to visit Rosetta's! Moved here in 2021, took 2 years before I ordered take-out from here. I've eaten spectacular meals in the dining room & bar area. We have also sat outside, in the "alley", with our new puppy. We have never been disappointed.. with service, meals or cocktails or home-made desserts! Carlo has always been a perfect gentleman & a "good do-bee". MrsHawk read more

The food is incredible! The chicken giuseppe is an almost must have! Chicken parm was really good too. For an Italian restaurant, the prices are really good too. Service was friendly, but a little slow; understandable as we were there during dinner rush. There is plenty of street parking available too which is nice. We would definitely come back if we were in the area again! Va bene! read more

I had been hearing about this place from several folks. I ordered a salmon dish and asked for the sauce on the side. It was very dry. The owner came by to ask how things were, I mentioned the dry fish, He said that's because you got it with the sauce on the side. Sorry, but dry fish means it was cooked too long. The rest of the table was happy with their meal. Also, our waitress Hannah was brand new and she was super. I would like to give this place another try and just ordered differently. read more

This was our first visit was invited to meet up with a friend and so glad we went! Sat at bar and son warmly greeted by bar host (?Lisa) our delish Margaritas and food were 10/10 . We ordered the meatball app and ckn with eggplant parm dinner everything was cooked to perfection!! We just had such a great dinner and cant wait to return next time very soon read more

Hidden gem! I felt like I was eating in the North End of Boston, but close to home. Interior is clean and well organized, our waiter was impeccable. Food was amazing, great portions for the price. We will absolutely be back!! read more

Wow !! If my meal ended with just the fresh baked bread, I would've been happy-the chicken tortellini in cream basil sauce was over the top great- finished with delicious tiramisu- and drinks- I thought the bartender must have heavy weight attached to his/her hand I can't wait to go back read more

We have been visiting the area for almost a week. The food was fantastic, fresh pasta, sauce and bread was great. Tila took care of us during dinner and was so nice, helpful and attentive. By far the best dinner we have had... Excellent and highly recommend.... read more

Date night here tonight. Easy reservations, and arrived a few minutes early. Menu looked great. You get bread when you arrive. The bread was amazing, warm, crusty outer and melt in your mouth middle. I ordered the bacon double cheeseburger pizza which I thought was really good. My wife ordered the chicken parm but with Alfredo vs marinara and it was good. Sauce lacked some seasoning but she liked it. Heard rave reviews about the lemoncellio cake, so of course I had to get some, as I'm all in for anything lemon. It was really good, but serving was very small. Service was great, we will be back. read more

I'll admit it -- we are those people. The ones who weren't going to go out on Valentine's Day until we decided we were. And it turns out we weren't the only ones. The place is frequented by regulars for sure with a bar on one side and a slightly more formal sit down dining room on the other. When we arrived we waited for about 10 minutes and were seated at a high top near the bar area. During this time another couple got frustrated with the single waitress to be seen after she dropped off some food to them. This couple was not empathetic at all and then expressed that to the waitress in a condescending tone on what was probably one of the busiest nights there. The same woman was our waitress and it was clear she was running around from dining room to bar room without a single moment to catch her breath. She did great! Obviously the kitchen was swamped too but we knew to adjust our expectations accordingly for timing. Food was delicious, incredible value. Calamari was a generous portion and could definitely be a small family appetizer on its own. My husband commented that you will not find a steak for less than $35 in the area and I think this one was $25 or so? Truffle fries were excellent. I got the bolognese and it was comforting and a big portion. We'll definitely come back on a less busy night but overall it was a good experience! read more

I would have given 5 stars if the owner wasn't such a jerk. Food/staff are amazing. It's too bad the owner doesn't know how to treat his customers. I will not be returning. When I asked how long the wait would be, he snapped at me and said, "I can't tell how fast people will eat". I went back another time and received the same energy (so much for second chances). I walked in and put my name down and a waitress saw me and pointed to a bar table and said it was going to be opening up. Then Carlo the manager looked directly at me and rudely said "you can't just go grabbing tables". I was very thrown off by this because I obviously was told by the waitress that it would be opening up and I would never just "grab a table". Hope this helps. Very disappointed and don't understand how he stays in business with that behavior especially because I'm not his first bad review. read more

I feel a little bad leaving a 3 star review, but my last few experiences here have led me to that. Would've done 3 1/2 stars if available. First couple of times here everything was great - last couple of times - not so much. The food has gone downhill from previous visits. Service was friendly enough but nothing special. Was sat in the back of the restaurant where the ceiling looks like it's ready to cave in. Surprised it hasn't been attended to. The owner is always present and seems like he really cares about his business. Won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

So the Hubbs and I went to ROSETTA's for our anniversary I ordered a tiramisu martini Hubbs had a red blend wine we had mussels in a white wine garlic sauce that were so scrumptious. Hubbs ordered a steak that was cooked to perfection and I had the Bolognese with homemade pasta also scrumptious. We did ask one of the servers if they could take a photo for us(John) and he said let me get your server who little bit acted like we were taking them out of their way. Then she brought over the dessert list however we were all for dessert and decided not to get anything thin him our server gave us a complementary slice of tiramisu as a anniversary treat ! To us that in itself says a lot read more

we moved to Canton about four years ago. Wanted to try out this restaurant and at first glance it's old in dingy. It needs to be refurbished and it also has an 'old' smell.

It was me and my boyfriend's proposal, we saw it was an almost 5 star place and decided to check it out. The service was horrible. We checked in our reservation, and were ignored for five minutes (a heads up would've been nice). The table wasn't fully set. We waited over 45 minutes for a caesar salad and a sandwich with fries and the chicken was raw. Pink inside. We told the server/ bartender that it was a problem and she tried denying it until we showed her and she didn't apologize. She just said "what else would you like?" We just decided to split the very generic and bland salad. We asked to speak to a manager and he was absolutely disrespectful. He offered to have them make us something else and we kindly said we are just going to go some place else. He pounded his hand on the table and said "perfect, thank you" and walked away. We left. I've been working in the restaurant business for many years now and that was the worst service and it was blatantly disrespectful to have that done to anyone. And the owner shouldn't even respond to this because we clearly heard enough. Don't recommend this place read more

Everything, no need to say more. Huge portions, great wine pours, full size cocktails, not the small size drinks most places are serving.

The food is very good. The service is excellent. The ambiance is good. I recommend Rosetta's because it's family owned and it's not formula food. read more
