Rosemary's

Rosemary’s is a nice restaurant in a great location. The atmosphere is pleasant, the food is good, and the service was solid during my visit. Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience. A good option if you're in the area and looking for a comfortable place to eat.

Such a nice spot on a sunny day. I ordered the calamari and a salad with added chicken, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The atmosphere was definitely the highlight — bright, relaxed, and even better with the outdoor seating. Perfect place to sit outside and enjoy the weather.

I had a disappointing experience at Rosemary’s while celebrating a friend’s birthday.<br><br>We had a 5:30 PM reservation, but before seating us, we were told we would need to finish by 6:45 PM due to expected busyness. This was surprising and felt unwelcoming— although it resulted from their misunderstanding, as they initially thought we didn’t have a reservation. It set a poor tone from the start.<br><br>Once seated, we noticed one of the napkins was stained with sauce. Although it was replaced quickly, there was little acknowledgment or apology, which made the situation feel brushed off.<br><br>The appetizers were a highlight—we ordered the fried calamari and truffle focaccia, both of which were quite good. However, the rest of the experience fell short. Our entrées arrived late, around 6:25 PM, which felt ironic given the earlier time pressure.<br><br>The main dishes (a variety of pastas and a risotto) were average in flavor, but the presentation was underwhelming. Several of the ceramic plates were visibly chipped, which detracted from the overall dining experience.<br><br>We also brought a cake for the birthday celebration and were charged $5 per person for cake cutting. This would have been more understandable if the service matched the fee, but it took quite a while for the cake to be cut and served.<br><br>Additionally, while clearing the table, a server accidentally dropped a dirty utensil on one of the guests. Although it seemed unintentional, it added to the overall lack of attentiveness.<br><br>Overall, while there were a few positives, the service and attention to detail left much to be desired—especially for a special occasion.

My mom and I celebrated her birthday at Rosemary’s on Valentine’s Day weekend, and it was truly a memorable dining experience.<br><br>It was just the two of us and we sat at the bar, but the staff made the evening feel incredibly special and personal. I especially want to recognize Betty, along with Nicole, Gabbi, Christian, and McCall. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made such a lasting impression on both of us.<br><br>They went above and beyond to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Not only was the service exceptional all evening, but the team surprised her with flowers and a complimentary dessert with a candle. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly made her feel celebrated. Seeing how happy she was meant a lot to me.<br><br>The food was fantastic. The lemon linguini is our favorite.. always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. But what really stood out was the warmth of the staff. You can tell this team takes pride in creating an experience for their guests, not just serving a meal.<br><br>Our sincere thanks to Betty, Nicole, Gabbi, Christian, and McCall for making my mom’s birthday so special. Their hospitality turned a simple dinner into a memory we’ll always cherish.<br><br>We will absolutely be back.

The room was so noisy you couldn't hear what the person next to you was saying. The wait staff was attentive and friendly ( not too friendly they had great timing). And the cocktails were tasty and innovative. The good... It was all passable, but some dishes were Excellent (the salmon) while others disappointing (the octopus.. sounded great but was just OK). There were some interesting things that I didnt get to try and probably won't. A very pleasant place for a cocktail or 2 and some small dishes.

Came to Rosemary’s for dinner with a friend and had a great experience. Warm and inviting vibe inside. The tables are a bit close together, but it didn’t impact us since no one was seated right next to us...might feel different if it were totally packed.<br><br>Big menu with lots of options. We started with the Tuscan kale salad with Brussels sprouts, apples, and squash — really good and a very large portion. We also ordered the ricotta and tartufo focaccia, which was outstanding. Super light and fluffy with great truffle flavor and a huge portion. Highly recommend. The regular focaccia at a table nearby also looked amazing.<br><br>For mains, we had the carbonara and the steak tagliata. Both were excellent and also generously sized. The carbonara was salty, creamy, and delicious, and the steak was surprisingly large and great for sharing, tender, and served with a nice salsa verde. Pricing felt fair for the portion sizes.<br><br>Overall, a really enjoyable meal and better than expected. Would definitely come back!

Went here for dinner, I had made reservations earlier in the afternoon but since I was with my friend we decided to cancel it because we were running late. Thankfully once we were done shopping we did walk in instead later in the night. The hostess squeezed us in for an available table for 2 that had a time limit of an hour since it was packed which we didn't mind at all. I liked the food and drink the Salento Spritz cocktail, Ppaperdelle Verdi, and Caprese foccacio! Our server was nice, and very attentive, I would of loved to hear the dessert. I will definitely be back!

Food is always consistently delicious here - try the foccacia and all the pastas! The drinks are also lovely, and the bar area always has plenty of space to stand and hang / wait for your table. Love this spot! Quintessentially West Village.

The pancakes here are amazing!<br><br>Great place for brunch. Not super busy and beautiful interior. Food is well priced and the pancakes are something I'll definitely be back for.<br><br>I've been here for dinner as well. I prefer their brunch food more than the pasta dishes for dinner but its still a great spot for a date or small group.

Was craving soup and this butternut squash on a rainy day and this hit the spot. 10/10 no notes. Their seasonal old fashioned was also a nice pairing. And of course had bombolini for dessert and a not pictured espresso martini. Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving 2025.<br><br>Loved it today (oops i we did it again). Service, food, drinks - all excellent. Thanks again for having us at thanksgiving. Three courses had been served.<br><br>They have Gluten free options for celiacs.<br><br>Although I liked „family style“ of 2024 more and would love to see it next year on the menu. Fingers are crossed.

Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious! We had the ricotta focaccia, olives, arrabbiata rigatoni, and mushroom Cavatappi.<br>But for a $200 dinner, I don’t want to feel I’m being pushed out the door. We had a 4pm reservation and arrived 4:05, the place was more than half empty. The hostess made sure we knew we had to be out by 5:30pm. Later, near the end of our meal, our waiter and another employee argued about our table not being cleared fast enough and making bets on how much longer we’d be there. Mind you, they were standing right behind our table! At this point, the room was even more empty.<br>Also, the rooftop garden is pretty sad looking! We came here to see one of the few places in the city with a garden to table model. We expected more.

I had a really great experience at Rosemary in the Village. The space itself is beautiful the decor has this warm, inviting feel that makes the whole restaurant really comfortable to sit in. They offer a pre-fixed lunch special where you can pick a salad and a pasta for $32, which is honestly a pretty good deal for the area. The pasta was very good, cooked well, and full of flavor. They also have gluten-free options made with rice flour, which is nice to see because it doesn’t feel like an afterthought.<br>For dessert, I tried the olive oil cake with the blueberry compote, and that was excellent. Light, not too sweet, and the blueberry topping really brought it together. The food comes out fairly fast, too, which is always appreciated. Overall, a very solid spot for lunch or a casual dinner in the Village.

It was very memorable. I celebrated my 34th birthday here. First time in New York. The food and overall vibe were amazing. I had a tasty desert as well. I had a ton of fun at this restaurant as a result. I would recommend this to anyone in the New York city area. A+ for me and very tasty food.

The dishes are nicely executed right on the spot. Some of them are creative. The service is very very good. They change your napkins during your restroom breaks, at a brunch place. It is one of a kind. A nice Chelsea brunch spot on a sunny weekend morning.
