Rosalie's Cucina

This is a great spot while you're visiting Skaneateles. Call a head for a reservation. The staff are very courteous. The atmosphere and bar area is very nice. 1st a bottle of red wine. My wife and I split a ceaser salad then she had the Halibut Italiano and I had pappardelle noodles with meatballs and sausage. These were excellent and the home made bread is unbelievable. Then we had expresso and a banana pudding desert. Everything was great and I highly recommend.

I highly reccomend Rosalies Cucina for a special dining experience. All categories food service atmosphere highly deserve a 5 star rating. I'd like to thank our server Payton Sweet for the best service ever. I loved how he took the time to enlighten us about the history of the resturant along with the meaning of the signature walls. Such a special place indeed. Also I'd like to thank Payton for his professionalism regarding in the manner in which he took good care if us. When Payton served us the delicious home made Italian bread( bakery included in the back of the resturant) he served the cocktails with the bread. Asking us to please taste the cocktail before explains to us about the dipping sauce spices and cheese. Payton also was able to converse with us for awhile after paying for the bill. We asked to take home a dessert and he came out with a tray to display of desserts explaining all to us. We opted for the banana pudding. Right choice Payton it melted in my mouth with all the banana and creamy deliciousness. Payton is the type of person I'd love to have him sit at our table over conversation. Thank you Payton for making our dinner even more the special. I almost forgot thank you for the extra bread to carry with us. Entree I recommend is the brocole. A delicious steak marinated in a delightful sauce making the beef extra tender. Brocole is wrapped and filled while stewing. In this case it was wrapped with broccolini. Cooked the right way. Tender but yet a little crisp. Also the lemon martini had the right amount of sugar on the rim of the glass. Ice cold and delicious. The polenta is the appetizer of choice and I highly reccomend. Warm polenta roasted cherry tomatoes with fresh mozzarella is nothing but a flavor burst. And the way they wrap up the leftovers is surley the best I haver ever seen.Thank you Rosalies Cucina we hope to return in the near future to celebrate any special occasion or when we get a craving. Maybe tomorrow? Reservations are taken on line on site

One of the premier restaurants in the Syracuse area. We had our wedding reception here 6 years ago and they kindly let us bring our own wedding cake. We also got to sign the wall. Over the years, I've tried many items on their menu and found them all to be excellent. The wine list is outstanding, and the service is very professional. Be careful not to spoil your appetite by eating too much of their delicious bread (made on site) before your food arrives. For something a little different try the manicotti as an appetizer, slow-roasted pork as an entree, and the banana budino for dessert.
