Rosa's Tavern

Decided to try out Rosa's at random when I needed a meal. went with the Nailed It (Prego) & I rarely get sandwiches that are this simple. Let me tell you, it was delicious. Meat was cooked exactly as requested (medium rare), toppings were well cooked & of good quantity. & the gravy was amazing. I read reviews & they were glowing but I'm always hesitant. Half expecting it's friends or regulars leaving courtesy reviews. This was not that. They also called me letting me know they ran out of my side & let me pick another. very courteous. unfortunately my replacement house chips didn't travel well, but I half expected that. I will be ordering again. EDIT: went back as promised and tried the Mozambique with jumbo shrimp. Frickin' soo good! I'll be back.... again!

We've been to Rosa's Tavern in East Providence twice now with passports from RI FOOD FIGHTS. First time was for the Sandwich Showdown. The chicken parm was good, the fries were good, but walking in felt like crashing someone else's family reunion. If you're from the neighborhood, you're golden. If you're not, you kind of felt it. This time was different. The service was welcoming. Helpful. Like they were actually happy to see us there. Rosa's does Portuguese and Italian with what they call a modern twist. Family owned by local townies on Waterman Ave in East Providence. Small room, black chairs, ceiling fans spinning, TVs on the walls. Not fancy. Not trying to be. For Lord of the Pies, they offer four flatbread-style pizzas. We got the margherita and the meatball. The meatball was the easy

From the moment we walked into Rosa's Tavern, we knew we were in for a treat. The service was truly excellent, and our server, Toni, was an absolute gem. She was so friendly and welcoming that we instantly felt like part of the family—it made our evening incredibly enjoyable. We decided to make our meal an appetizer tour, and none of our choices disappointed! The calamari was a standout, perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The clams were also fantastic, cooked just right with a wonderful texture. And let me tell you about the shrimp in the shrimp Mozambique—they were huge and cooked to perfection. Even the mozzarella moons, a classic, were great. Here's a pro tip: definitely ask for the Mozambique sauce for dipping with your mozzarella moons instead of the marinara. While their mari

I need to be honest here. When I seen the ratings and reviews I thought wow here is a place that I haven't tried yet and after looking at the menu I was like wow prices seem reasonable and menu is all stuff I like. I thought to myself this could be my second home lol. Anyway I took my kids here and just giving an honest review about my experience here. The bill was definitely more than I would have liked like myself and 3 kids so needless to say was pricier than I thought. Now Portuguese food ( which I grew up with all around me every 2 feet) and Italian foods are my favorites. So seeing the menu here I thought wow best of both worlds. Has reservations at Alive but cancelled to come here cause my reservations were a little too late for our liking but unfortunately that's all Alive had this

Amazing!! The food was fantastic! We started with Mama C’s Fried Meatballs. Delicious! Chourico peppers and onion was out of this world. Chicken Parmigiana sandwich was so tender it melted in your mouth. The menu is one that needs to be explored and will be. It’s absolute must try and you will be back!! Owed by a brother and sister who treats you like family before you even sit down. Tony, the bartender has a great personality and makes you feel right at home.
