Rosinella Downtown

Great food and service! Sad to hear that after enjoying the last 14 years worth of their amazing food… Rosinella’s Downtown restaurant is soon closing and that we’ll have to travel to their South Beach (Lincoln Road Mall) restaurant to feast on their tasty meal creations instead.

Truly italian! Homemade Taste. Burrata salad was so fresh the center just melted into the arugula just yumm. Beef carpaccio didn’t need anything but a tad of olive oil the fresh shaved parmesan was on point again you could really taste how fresh ingredients were! Bolognese pasta was cooked amazing exactly how i like it al dente! We also got the fried calamari which was lightly breaded with the house marinara that has a hint of cayenne just awesome.
Service was excellent very attentive! 18%Gratuity is included but to be fair its not enough! Water was always refilled and you didn’t have to look for servers which is rare on a busy sunday night seating outside!
Didn’t get to try dessert but ill come back very sooon! Did i mention prices are super affordable???

I cannot get enough of this place! A must whenever I’m in brickell. Always have to have the calamari to start which is lightly breaded and fried to perfection. The oil they have for the bread on the table is infused with cayenne so it gives you palette a unique taste. The marinara here is to die for. Even if u order just a simple pasta with marinara you will not be disappointed.

Worst Italian food I’ve had in South Fl. The burrata was a a solid piece of cheese. This was a sign of things to come. Husband got the veal parm– it looked like a microwaved meal! The cheese looked like a piece of plastic! I got the spaghetti with prosciutto, mushrooms, and arugula. It was edible– never need to eat this again.
Before I ordered I asked the waiter what was the most popular dish. He said «everything– everything is good.»
Why an I giving it 2 stars? Because their Italian beer hit the spot.

El mejor restaurante italiano… me recuerda uno que había en Venezuelava caracas que se llamaba el Veccio Mulino! Todo muy casero y excelente calidad… el pasticho (lasagna) insuperable las pastas y la pizza muy sabrosas… excelente lugar.

Good, not great. Wanted to try it because it looked cute from the outside. Service was lacking. Main dishes didn’t disappoint but didn’t make me want to rush back. I see this as the kind of place that when I’m craving italian and Perricone’s is slammed with an hour wait, I could possibly get by here for an emergency craving.
Tiramisu was the highlight of the meal.

This is authentic italian food. Every time I eat their tomato sauce I feel like I’m in Italy! The only problem is the service is very italian too (rude). But the place is very spacious and again the food is worth the trouble!

This place is great for moderately priced italian. The calamari: to die for!
I went here with my girlfriend, we got a carafe of the house wine, and shared a plate of fettuccine. The sauce was delectable.
The best part about this place, however, is that is in a little corner of Mary Brickell Village. Almost hidden. It made it feel like a special little place all to ourselves. However, do not mistake how quaint it is for its unpopularity… there were actually quite a good amount of people here! The wine selection was not all that great, but the house wine was just fine. Definitely recommend this place for a sexy little date night.

I must have hot this place the first time on a good night with a chef they fired. I have been back 2 times since and the food has been less than average. Last night I went and ordered the same things I have got the past two times. I kind of make my own meal. I ask for the spaghetti pomodora with grilled chicken, and diced up fresh mozzarella. What I got was «cat food» last night. The chicken did not come out grilled looked like canned chicken, or even canned tuna. I got the manager the sauce was floating in oil as if it had been sitting way to long, or even put in the microwave to reheat. The first time for the price i was blown away my meal was amazing the past two times I noticed it just keeps getting worse !

Perfect little spot for authentic and inexpensive Italian food.
I had the Prosciutto Panini and my wife had the Spinach Ravioli. Both were absoutely delicious!
The service was also very friendly and attentive.
