I enjoy the food at this restaurant. The service is actually pretty good compared to other places around town too. As for the crowd, thats what you get in the area. All those places in the Royal Palm/ Mizner area are over crowded by older diners. They have a great veal chop with marsala wine as well as tiramisu.

I come from LI as well, use to eat at La Viola in cedarhurst and had always enjoyed their food. My wife and I would eat there once a week and once a week at Matteos. 22 years ago I made a 25th birthday party for my wife at LaViola. 40 people $2000. and well worth it. When I went to pay my bill with my Amex, they had added on a 5% credit card fee. I disputed,they removed it, but it put a damper on a almost perfect evening. I have always paid them with my amex when I ate there weekly and never was asked to nor would I pay an additional fee. Needless to say I have never gone back and in the 16 years living in Boca have never steped into their current location!

Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere. Its east Boca, there are older diners in every restaurant, especially in the summer months.

I know this dump.
At one time when it first opened as La Viola it was good. It came from the Five Towns.
Then for some unknown reason it went downhill and now it has a new name Rosario’s.
The food isn’t good.
The restaurant looks like one of those assisted living places. A bunch of old folks eating there.
they have a piano in the front and it really is depressing to go in.
Try another one because this isn’t good.

I have eaten several times at Rosario’s. It’s good. It’s fairly priced. Don’t know what all of the concerns are. Good, not great. I have always enjoyed my dinners.

Angel Caruso must be 90 years old. If this woman really considers Rosarios to be a top shelf restaurant she must be suffering from Alzheimers. For her to call Tramonti really good is another sign of losing one’s mind. Tramonti is an overpriced wannabe place that has poor service and a wannabe crowd. Renzo’s is good but is far from outstanding.
Hope this lady drives better than she picks restaurants.

Angela, if you think that Rosarios is “The King of all Kings” you might want to question that Italian heritage of yours, maybe you were adopted and are Polish, Jewish, Irish, French or something else, because no respecting Italian would call Rosarios the best food.
I’m sticking with Jeff.
By the way, you don’t have to go to cooking school or get a degree to know what is and isn’t good food.
You obviously don’t.
By the way, I see that Jeff also didn’t like Tramonti but did like Renzo’s. Personally, I think that Tramonti stinks and Renzo’s is like Rosarios just fair.
The best Italian food in the Boynton-Delray-Boca Raton area is Matteo’s, coming from LI you should know that.
By the way, I use to live in Woodmere and I and my wife are Italian.

Funny how everyone writes I know Italian food. That is like me writing I know Jewish, Indian or Chinese. I am 100% Italian and I KNOW ITALIAN FOOD! Generations and generations, living in Italy qualifies me to know traditional Italian food. Cannot comment on any other.
What qualifies you to be a food critic?
I know, I eat in restaurants twice a week but that does not qualify me as a critic
What qualifies you to be an expert on Italian food?
Are you a chef or have some kind of food degree?
Are you of Italian descent?
Have you ever ran a business?
If you have, have you ever needed to fire an employee due to his lack of service?
What gives you the right to be so judgemental on a business where to the point you dedicate a website to it?
Do you or have you ever ran a business?
Would love to know the name or prior names or can do a search if you wont divulge
Bottom line, I am not from Brooklyn but from the North Shore of Long Island. Having moved here seasonal to Delray Beach, I have found a few good Italian restaurants that I can rate based on my personal opinion (because I do not have a degree qualifying me) and based on my Italian heritage. Started with Tramonti’s. Excellent Italian food on Atlantic Ave. Arturo’s and Renzo’s on Federal Highway in Delray/Boca. The King of all Kings, hands down is Rosarios. This man is the best chef I have ever had the pleasure to experience. His baked clams are to die for, even beating Matteos from Long Island, his eggplant rollatini is a killer. His sauce is so sicilian and fresh and genuine. This restaurant rated a 4 1/2. This is by far the closest thing I ever had to Italy. You need to explain yourself. You are dead wrong. Answer the questions. Frankly, I dont care what you say, Rosario is the best chef fron New York to Florida. And that my friend, is based on my dining and my HERITAGE!
