Just had the most amazing revisit of Rosalia’s. Lived around the corner for years moved a bit further away and never found anything that compared. Impromptu take out order made for the absolute best Friday night dinner. You still have it all! The beautiful bar, classy music, art and decor. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Best Italian food in Jax! Rosalia's brings quality Italian dining together with a beautiful rustic dining setting. Whether you're looking for more authentic Italian fare, or some of the best pizza in town, Rosalia's has something for everyone. Also, those garlic knots are to die for! The owner Dante is also exceptional, he always makes sure to come around to every table to check in to see how he can improve your dining experience. We highly recommend Rosalia's! P.S.: be sure to stop by Dante's Place next door for a cocktail and live music after dinner!

This was a great Italian restaurant in Jacksonville. The food came out hot and fresh. The rolls were excellent and came with our meals. I would definitely come back. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes some good classic Italian food.

We’ve been searching for a restaurant that tasted like home (New York) in Jacksonville. Rosalia’s fit the bill! Authentic Italian flavors. Homemade dough with crispy crust baked to perfection in an oven. Also, Brittney was an exceptional server! She was friendly and our three year old loved her- they even danced in the dining room! Well done. We’ll be back (probably alot)

Just had our first visit to Rosalie's. Wasn't sure what to expect but thought we would give it a chance. We definitely were not disappointed! My wife ordered the veal piccata, and I ordered the mussels linguine. My wife thought her dish was excellent and the veal was super tender. I was really impressed with the mussels dish I ordered. Instead of the usual pile of pasta with a sprinkling of mussels, this dish had just the right amount of pasta and sauce and was covered with mussels. Best version of this dish I've ever had! Delicious! The garlic rolls we had were great too -right out of the oven and fantastic! Also a special thanks to Cole, our waiter, who was extremely attentive, courteous, and helpful! Definitely will be back!

I was very satisfied with the food for the price. Had a delicious jumbo shrimp cocktail to start. They didn’t skimp on the Parmesan cheese on my Caesar salad. The Delmonico steak I had was perfectly cooked and it came with two sides as well as salad.

What a pleasure. We believe we have found one of the best Italian Restaurants in the Southside of Jacksonville. First the location is great with plenty of parking. We arrived at 5:30pm and were seated right away. Our server Angela was attentive all evening taking our orders and checking if all was Ok several times, even though they were busy, including offering us additional Blue Cheese Dressing when we asked for our extra wedge salad to go. We ordered a of a cup of Corn Chowder 5 and the Salad Wedge which again was so huge that we took half of it home and an outstanding 5 . The Entree menu offers a good but not overwhelming selection which means they can be attentive to the quality of food that leaves the kitchen. Bill ordered the Eggplant with a pasta side. I decided on the Stuffed Shrimp Special both were excellent 5 and so large that we had take home box's. Had a chance to speak with the owner who thanked all those who leave comments on this site as she said " my customers are my eyes and ears as I cannot see all that is going on behind me." A native of Rome Italy she has brought the flavors and quality here and we will surely visit again and again becoming a regular for the future.
