    We loved all the food and the mocktail but the decor and speed are what really made it nice for us. Starting with Calamari helped set expectations high without disappointment. This was an excellent choice of venue for Valentine’s Day

    We've been to Larosa's many times (take out as well) and never disappoints. Our reservation was at 4:30 which we thought was too early. However, we had a quiet corner table near a window which made our Valentine's dinner more special. The cacio pepe rivaled the one I had in Rome. My partner had the baked scallops with rabe which was great (I helped her with the rabe!!) They had a wine special, a Brunello di Montalcino which was the cherry on the sundae. The second cherry was our waiter; Josh was superb.
