Drink The Wine, Eat The Pasta
$36.00 per person
Multiple dates available
Let's be honest, the best conversations have been made over Pasta & Wine. Whether its shouting from the rooftops proclaiming true love, or the obligatory full mental breakdown over a work email. Pasta and a good (or bad) bottle has always been there. Its what defines us. It's what makes us who we are. Michelangelo didn't paint the Sistine Chapel on an empty stomach. He was inspired by the mouth-watering combination of cheesy, perfectly al dente, godly bowl of pasta & a dry, peppery glass of vino. Let's pay an homage to Italy by offering your next memorable experience with us. We will be offering a Cacio e Pepe & Wine Tasting for $35. You get to choose 3, 2oz. pours off our wine list accompanied by a dish a Cacio E Pepe.

It was Valentine's Weekend, thus, the tables were a bit more crowded than usual. The food and service were great. The prices a bit on the high end, especially the wine, but, it is a small place and they need to make a profit live everyone else. I would definitely go again. This was my first time. I had the Salmon, nicely crisped skin and tender and moist on the inside. My husband had the Veal Parm....it comes on the bone so it's quite impressive. ♥

Meatballs are a must. The salmon is amazing and nice crust. Skip the bread. Drinks are really good. Service top notch. I had high table. I wouldve rather a dining chair so ambiance took a hit for me and was uncomfortable during the meal

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.

Great table. Service great until it wasn’t (server disappeared). Salads wonderful. Entrees very good but too salty - take a lighter hand.
