First timer and super impressed! Loved my meal (Lemon Chicken special). Portions were HUGE. Meals come with salad (with amazing homemade Italian dressing, and soft white "Scali" bread). Our waitress was very busy, but she communicated well as to what she was doing next ("I'm going to take their dinner order, and I will be right back with your drinks). She checked in to make sure drinks were topped off. She did an amazing job. We went during a busy dinner hour on a Sunday evening, but the staff was a well oiled machine. Very impressed. Support local business!!!

I LOVE this place! We go or order take out weekly & the food is always great! I left my phone there Sunday night picking up food. They were closed the following day. My boss knew someone at Roses. The OWNER of Roses met me there to give me my phone on their day off!!! This place always goes above & beyond for their customers. This was just one example I wanted to share! Thank You Roses!!!

Amazing staff. Wonderful food. Rose’s has become a weekly staple for us. Not once has there been an issue with an order, and the food always tastes incredibly good. Our out-of-town family members look forward to Rose’s every time they come visit.

Best pizza in Maine hands down...we love this place. The fried raviolis, chicken parm & the house salad are all so damn good. Good comes out quickly and the quality is always superb. The woman that runs the place is so nice and very hardworking. I love seeing the place busy during these strange times!

Delicious, friendly, family Italian restaurant. The Mozz garlic bread and red sauce is worth the trip alone. Been here about 5 times since moving to Windham and staff is super friendly and welcoming each time. Visits here are becoming my happy place. Thanks Rose's for being awesome!

Thursday August 5th - Visited a friend at Sebago Lake. After a 2 hour drive, she said "let's go for a lobster roll" yet as we were driving she talked about the "BEST" Italian Restaurant in Maine. Well why aren't we going there? We changed direction and headed

This is a hidden gem well worth discovering. Excellently prepared Authentic Italian food, made with fresh high quality ingredients. Open Kitchen is visible from the main dining room. Seafood dishes are a specialty and are all delicious, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Healthy portions as well as free salad and bread insures you won't leave hungry. Next time we are going to try the brick oven pizza. Ample free parking as well.

Food excellent! Service great! Prices good! One thing that would make it more pleasant is an upgrade on atmosphere. Subdued candlelight on red and white tablecloths would add a great deal for little expense and would add to the enjoyment

We are summer residents of Frye Island and have been coming to Rose's for years. This is the most consistently good restaurant we have found locally. Food always excellent, service with a smile!

Always great Italian food. Chicken parm is great. Love their pizza, too. Can get noisy at times. Staff is friendly, except one of their cooks throws things around as he gets angry easily.

Rather charmless service. Server looked as though she didn't want to have anything to do with me. Didn't introduce herself, forgot about my water, monotonously told me "actually we're out of oregano" after asking if I wanted it... looking around the room the other servers seemed much friendlier.

The hostess (or the person working at the front register) seemed flustered. I guess a lot of orders were coming in so I know she was busy, but when she ran my card she had to run it twice because she put in the wrong number the first time.

The pizza was actually okay. A small

I always look for the local spots this was the perfect one! Perfect local restaurant, great food, great service. I would highly recommend Rosa's Italian to anyone who happens to be visiting that area of Portland. A little out of the way well worth the drive

I'm sorry, but...no.

I freely admit, as someone with italian heritage, my standards are set higher. I also did restaurant work 6 years, so i cut slack based on reality.

We shared the italian festival sampler (garlic bread, mozzarella sticks, and fried ravioli) plus a pasta entree each from the lunch menu. Each pasta came with salad.

Apps: garlic bread was clearly margarine based. Not bad, but better can be found.
Mozzarella sticks: meh, chunky and short. Edible but not preferred.
Fried ravioli: if you fry a thing and it tastes both baked and undercooked...that's a fail.

Great chicken parm. Good pizza and garlic bread with cheese. Love their house salad and bread. Huuuuge portions (early bird special from 4p-6p for smaller portions and less $). This place is a gem

Easily the best calzone I've ever had. Crust was fresh and tasty and the sauce on the side was flavorful (Side salad was just ok though). Service was friendly and welcoming and it was clear watching the interactions with customers that they are a valued part of the local landscape. They seem to have a lot of regulars.

Pretty standard Italian-American fare. The food is fine but not great. Your side salads is the typical iceberg lettuce and cheap veggies, pasta dishes are prepared with limited effort - often just a spoon of sauce over pre-cooked pasta and the pizza tastes like it uses a cheaper type of cheese resulting in a large amount of oily residue. Unfortunately there are so few good restaurant options in the immediate area that it still probably rates among the better options.

We ordered take out for Valentines Day. We have been to Roses a few times and the food was solid, nice portions.
But we were VERY disappointed in this meal. We called Friday to place an order and were told
to call back on Sunday (the same day we wanted our order). I called at 1:00 pm. I asked for one of the special dinners that were advertised on their FB page (nothing on the mediocre website about any specials). I was told they would "hold" one of the 2 Prime Rib specials that were left. I also asked if they had Tiramisu and they said "yes". When my husband came at

Do not have a single negative thing to say about this place or their food. Pictures do not do it justice. Loved the salad dressing and unique buffalo sauce. My the chicken parm was to die for and huge, can't wait for the leftovers. Everything was delicious!

Everything about Rose's was pleasant. The lady who answered the phone to take the order was happy to answer my questions. Once I placed my order and was greeted by her during my pickup, her friendliness continued. As I waited for my food to be done, the cook would glance over and throw me a smile. It was a warm and inviting atmosphere at a time where people are anxious. (I ordered while it's take out only, due to the COVID-19.)
The food did not disappoint in taste. Our chicken broccoli Alfredo pizza was one of the best I've had. It was sloppy and hard to pick up but I had no trouble
