Rosmarino pizza & pasta — Restaurant in Summerville

First time visiting, won't be going back. We received the menu in our mailbox and decided to give it a try. When we walked in we were confused as to if we were supposed to wait or be seated on our own. Half way to the counter/kitchen area a young lady loudly asked how many and said sit anywhere. We sat and were brought the regular menu and the lunch specials. She asked us what we would like to drink and we told her.

We sat for about 15-20 minutes and my friend was brought her salad. Another 7 minutes or so later and she brought one out for me. Before I could ask for ranch she was gone. She visit other tables much more frequently then she did ours. She didn't come back to our table until she was bringing out of lunch entrees. The food was visually appealing, so I was ready to dig in. The prices was really good. $19 before taxes for a pasta of your choice, salad, garlic bread, and drink.

Unfortunately, we both were disappointed in the food. I had the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. It was a good sized portion, but lacked flavor at every layer. The chicken by itself was bland. The sauce was creamy, but tasted like cream sauce with no flavor. The garlic 🍞 wasn't appealing at all. It looked like they tool butter, spread it on the bread and sprinkled it was garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and parsley. It tasted exactly how it looked.

To top it all off, I had to say excuse me loudly to our waitress and everyone stop eating and looked at me. All of this happened, and we still had not received our drinks yet. She had to ask us what we had again. I ordered a sweet tea and my friend ordered a sprite. She brought me the glass of sweet tea, and brought my homegirl a cup of ice with a can of Sprite. Of course for her, her drink was on point lol. As for the tea, it was not good. It tasted like tea bags. For the real sweet tea drinkers, you know what this is. That tingy aftertaste that tastes bitter but yet sweet because of the sugar. I didn't complain about it we just asked for the check and she brought us to go containers with it. I took my pasta home doctored up on it and ate it.

We like to try a new restaurants in the area and give everyone a fair unbiased shot when we go. Overall the portion size of the meals were good for the pricing. The atmosphere wasn't that of your expected it's "Italian eatery", and the service could have been much better. The waitress kept apologizing and brought me out a few pieces of Baklava for inconvenience. I said thank you, but we agreed, we won't...

I ordered the meatball spaghetti and two pizzas, and every bite was a testament to the authenticity and love that Rosmarino puts into its dishes. The spaghetti had perfectly cooked pasta, tender meatballs, and a rich, flavorful sauce that was nothing short of heavenly. As for the pizzas, the wood-fired oven creates a crispy, smoky crust that elevates every topping to perfection. You can tell Raul and his team are masters of their craft.

I rated everything a 4 but overall I gave this restaurant a 5 as it was such a pleasant surprise. We are from out of town but come to this area often. We were headed to our favorite restaurant when we found out it was closed. So we googled restaurants in the area and Rosmarinos came up and we decided to go. It was very slow as it was early but was hopping by the time we left. The restaurant was cute, very clean and the staff was attentive (the waitress was young and didn’t offer us refills) The menu was traditional and I had a hard time choosing. There were three of us and we all ordered different items. Food came in good time and I got about three bites in and realized it was very good. Not sure if my Italian grandmother would be too excited but it was super tasty. I mentioned it to the table as we had all gone quiet and everyone looked up from their plates and the consensus was that it was all sooo good. My only real complaint was that I ordered a pasta dish and it was swimming in sauce. Thankfully the sauce was delicious but ultimately there didn’t need to be that much. Anyway, a very pleasant surprise and I’m sure this is our new favorite place and will be...
