Family photos line the sage-colored walls at this storefront trattoria in the heart of Little Italy. Vesuvio-style dishes--prepared with lemon, garlic and olive oil--figure prominently into this menu of Italian pasta, seafood and meat offerings.

A co-worker suggested RoSal's and we went there with friends for my birthday. It was totally worth it. It was just a little noisy, but in a good way: makes you feel at home/with friends and not loud enough to disrupt a conversation. The food was outstanding, grilled calamari are some of the best I've tried and the ravioli are simply the best. The service was wonderful: Linda is a very nice and friendly person who knows her stuff really well. Finally, the coffee and the desserts... M-m-m... I want to go back there NOW :).
By the way, I think it's a great place for a date. Permanently in my bookmarks.
- Pros: The food is amazing!
- Cons: None!
