Rosa still makes the pasta.

Rosa opened this little dining room on Cottage Street in 1998 with her mother's recipe book and a single pasta machine. Twenty-six years later, the machine still runs every morning. So does Rosa.

Everything that can be made in-house, is: the tagliatelle, the marinara that simmers all afternoon, the tiramisu that regulars call in to reserve before dinner.
