Menu & cuisine
What type of Italian cuisine does Rosemarino serve?

What ingredients and preparation methods set Rosemarino apart?
All pasta is made fresh in-house daily — linguine, rigatoni, fettuccine, fusilli, spaghetti, and gnocchi are all hand-crafted on site. Sauces are prepared from scratch using quality ingredients. Dishes are inspired by authentic regional recipes from both Northern and Southern Italy, with a rotating Chef Menu that highlights seasonal produce and specials like Braised Osso Buco, seared U-10 scallops, and fresh seafood pasta.
Does the menu have vegetarian or gluten-free options?
Vegetarian options include Primavera pasta, Pesto rigatoni, Alfredo fettuccine, all salads, Bruschetta, and Funghi Trifolati. Gluten-free options are available — always inform your server of the severity of any intolerance, as cross-contamination is possible in a pasta-focused kitchen.
