Summer specials menu 30Sep2025
Nicholas H.

This was a humble looking restaurant with so much going for it. I've been meaning to come here for a while and we finally did. I'm glad for it and we'll be back, for sure. We had: - Niantic Dances Flamenco (paella): very sizeable portion of paella with a nice range of ingredients in it. I wanted to like this much more than I did. The first big fail was a lack of socarrat. The rice had no toasting, crisping, nor caramelization. It was served in an enameled steel pan, but I'm not sure if that prevented the formation of the socarrat. The second hit was that there was a singular herbacious flavor that overrode everything else. Despite all of the seafood and sausage, one note. - Eli Seduced By The Salmon: beautiful presentation of a luscious salmon. I can not say I've ever had a grape sauce with salmon and potatoes, but it did work from a flavor perspective. It also helped balance the aggressive garlicky nature of the potatoes, which certainly came back to visit later. Worth a try, for sure. - A caipirinha. While not on the menu, we were informed they have cachaca and could make one. Seemed like there was maybe some sour mix thrown in? Not the best, but we also overheard they have pisco, so a pisco sour next time. - the table bread and chimichurri were a great starter, very vibrant while not being overly much and getting you full on the bread. The service was friendly, the restaurant was wide open and clean. From an accessibility viewpoint I would give this place an A. The bossa nova was a notch too loud, and the thermostat set to 75 will cook you. Overall, we both agreed we wanted to come back and try more of the menu because there are a lot of adventurous combinations going on, and so many different cuisines in one place. Also, we were not overly dressed up, so you can go casually dressed, or it wouldn't be out of order to get fancied up to come here either.

Ok so I eat here often! Mostly because, well, it's great! Seriously. Eat here if you're in the Niantic area or just go to the Niantic area. I've never had a bad meal. Tell Jana I sent you!

The food was phenomenal and the service was good as well. The restaurant itself was stunning. However, at the time we arrived it was relatively empty which was a bit of a shock.

Had a wonderful Saturday lunch here with my mom and sister. The food was absolutely amazing--so fresh and full of flavor. Each dish was beautifully presented, with clear attention to detail. We also had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming. The interior has an eclectic European feel. Highly recommend this spot--can't wait to come back!

Seafood paella & Chemari Lemon Chicken

Food: They're known for their empanadas, which I thought were good but definitely had my eyes on other apps! I also had the seafood paella for dinner which was AMAZING. So good. Def recommend Service: waiter was nice except there was some confusion over the juice I ordered (they also have a juice drive thru lol). The owner came and sorted it out Ambiance: trendy! Very chic!!!!!

Caesar Salad

Great atmosphere early afternoon . Had Caesar Salad with house made dressing- outstanding! Fresh bread with garlic cilantro dipping oil- lovely seating on a very average street. But the appetizers were soooo good - Ecuadorian beef empanadas fried perfectly and the best I've ever eaten! Hostess/owner? So accommodating and genuine. - entre of Fried Calamari cooked and presented just right . Smooth tomato- based Spanish soup was so flavorful with chopped squash , chopped spinach , onions, chicken peas . Very mild But filling. Taking home some Empanadas to feast on later.

The exterior lets you know you are in for a good experience

Rossa Negra Restaurant Opened in 2021, this spacious and well appointed restaurant offers international fusion cuisine where "the secret ingredient is always love." We were greeted by one of the owners Janeth, who was warm and welcoming. The staff was attentive and accommodating. The perfect compliment to the well decorated and ambience of the dining room. The Empanadas and the Para La Bonita were delicious appetizers sufficient to make a meal all by themselves. The Chemari Chicken entree was fantastic. The fresh vegetables were steaming atop the juicy and well breaded chicken breasts and these were presented on a bed of mashed potatoes and the lemon sauce. A treat for the eyes and the palate. The portions were generous without being overwhelming. Well worth the money I recommend you visit this restaurant if you are in the Niantic area instead of a franchise restaurant for a better quality all around experience. Thank you again to Janeth and Chef Jonny for a delicious meal.

What a wonderful dining experience at Rosas Negra this past weekend. It's located in Niantic off Flander Rd. Serving Delicious Latin Fusion. They also have a juice bar but we didn't try any. When we entered we were very welcomed and greeted. The restaurant inside is beautiful ,elegant and very chill. Great ambiance. We went for lunch on the early side so no one was really there however they do have a drive through that people were picking up from. During the weekend only the dinner menu is served and during the week there is lunch menu and dinner . Closed on Tuesdays. My dad had Cazuela Madrileña which was a bowl of seafood in a broth with bread on the bottom. He loved the flavor. I had an Arepa Rellena with Pork. It was just perfect and was filled with enough toppings on it such as tomato , avocado, pork and sauce on the side. We also had the Colombian empanadas. They were on the smaller side but they tasted so good! Came with Ají . It's more of an upscale restaurant. But we were very satisfied with what we received and ate.

I returned back to puerto Lima today and tried something new. I got the lomo saltado and it…read moreexceeded my expectations. The portion size was impressive, I have a big take home container to eat for dinner tonight. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sweet onions were awesome to pair with bites of steak and fries. The stir fried portion was seasoned to absolute perfection and the rice soaked up the juices from the stir fry which made it so good. The service here is lovely, the owner consistently shows his face and checks in on customers. A lovely spot well worth a visit.

Wow! the food is EXCELLENT!!!…read more talk about having flashbacks to my youth, when I would get Da BEST Cubano sandwiches in my old neighborhood. Done. To. Perfection. Con pernil with wonderful Boricua-Cubano-Quisqueya flavor, and the bread - classic french bread; crusty on the outside, warm fresh, airy and a little fluffy on the inside, with a touch of Mojito Criollo (of course!) on the outside as the sandwich is pressed for the final step. Delicious, al Dente, crunch and explosion of Sabor Antillano in every bite. Perfecto! BTW, I had ordered the Shrimp Po' Boy, also just perfect, what a delicious remoulade (which with the perfect bread, is what truly makes a Po' Boy stand out) - a perfect lunch. But I took a bite (alright, three bites) from the Cubano my wife-unit ordered, so I know what I'm talkin' about. I told the owner that, "... that was the best Cubano sandwich I've tasted in the last 15 years...". He and his wife (who is the magic in the kitchen putting together the delicious meals) are lovely people, true Foodies and easy to talk with. Like a True Foodie, they love to cook and through their preparations, bring food-happiness to their customers. I truly hope they get many more customers to try their food. I for one will be bringing my friends there (and I've got plenty of friends). I'd give them 6 stars, but can only do 5 here. This place is gonna get to know me really, really well! Ray
