Book NowAbout Rosetta Ristorante - Permanently Closed
Step into a swanky Italian film set where pristine fresh pasta and riverfront drama turn every dinner into an occasion. Crown Riverwalk regulars remember the rhythm well: crusty sourdough dragged through green olive oil—proper fare la scarpetta—before the pasta arrived. Hand-rolled ribbons tossed with crab, rich rabbit ragù, and savory bolognese commanded top dollar, but patrons gladly paid for the craft. Attentive waiters paced out roast duck, crisp potatoes, and stiff cocktails without hovering over tables. The bill ran high, though nobody argued once Nonna’s lemon cake arrived in the courtyard.
- Cinematic Atmosphere: Lush courtyard seating and cinematic styling gave every dinner the feel of a classic Italian movie set.
- Hand-Rolled Fresh Pastas: Silky hand-rolled ribbons paired with savory rabbit, crab, and slow-cooked bolognese sauces.
- Doting Service: Attentive waitstaff guided selections and delivered memorable touches like birthday cakes without hovering.
