The Rosa shows that sometimes taking something old and making it new again can come out quite well. The founder opened the family-style Italian gem in 1927 using the family home to do it. For 55 years Ralph Rosa fought all odds, including the Great Depression and Prohibition, and continued to provide Portsmouth great Italian classics. For the past 30+ years, The Rosa has continued under new ownership that remodeled and updated, but kept plenty of familiar dishes. Notable menu items include the house-made herb gnocchi with slow braised espresso pork shoulder and lasagna Bolognese. The vanilla cheesecake with an Oreo crust and strawberry compote makes the perfect ending to a memorable dinner or lunch at The Rosa.

    We had a lovely, lovely time at The Rosa for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere was so pleasant and we were very appreciative to have been seated in a comfortable booth. The staff greeting us entering and leaving the restaurant were ever so friendly. And we can’t say enough about our server, Kayla. What an absolute gem! She was so thoughtful of us the entire evening with a happy smile at each table side engagement. The food was delicious along with the specialty drinks. We look forward to our next visit.

    The whole experience was a 10/10! From the ambiance, to the service, to the food- it was great. I got the crispy cauliflower and the braised short rib and I cannot recommend it enough. I will be coming back!

    This was our first visit. The premise is quite elegant. The food and service was excellent across the board. Two of us ordered the shrimp scampi, and the shrimp were notably large and very tasty. Additionally, the seafood chowder was impressive, featuring an abundance of various seafood. Along with its quiet, calming atmosphere, we would highly recommend Atlantic for a wonderful dining experience.
