Rosa's Description:
Rosa's is not cutting-edge, but its comfortably elegant setting---terra cotta-colored walls lined with art, generously spaced flower-topped tables---is a very pleasant backdrop for a northern Italian menu with few surprises but consistent quality. Among the predictable starters are beef carpaccio, Caesar salad and calamari fritti, as well as crab cakes with tarragon-inflected mustard sauce. Pastas---everything from simple cappellini with tomato and basil to shellfish-stuffed ravioli in lemon cream---are among the kitchen's strong suits. Among generally well-executed main courses, the osso buco disappointingly lacks a satisfying gremolata finish, but good grilled salmon is served with a choice of sauces. The wine list, a California-Italy compilation, is not particularly notable, but two dozen wines are offered by the glass. Homemade desserts include tiramisu, panettone bread pudding with caramel sauce and crème brûlée.
