Favorite in Toledo

"This place is a favorite of our family in Toledo. They have several locations and we have been to many of them. The pizza is quite different from any other that you will find. Slightly thicker crust, rectangular pieces, light on the cheese, good fresh tasting sauce. A nice change of pace from classic greasy options. Mama's bread is a must!

Wonderful!

"I came to Rosie's recently for a friends' birthday party. I had never been before and thought the atmosphere was really cool. Very nice bar area, we were served our drinks in a timely manner. Was a little taken aback by the prices, but thought for real Italian food it would be worth it. The appetizers were great! Had the bruschetta and crab cakes, absolutely wonderful"

LOVE IT

" We love going to Rosie's during the week when they have 1/2 price appetizers and gourmet pizzas (served at the bar only). Of course, no one can pass up the hot mama bread, and I love their gourmet pizzas. During the week, the two of us can eat dinner for less than $15. Otherwise, they do have some great italian dishes, and I've have some great fresh fish dishes as well. We tend to think the entrees are a bit overpriced though."

The History of Rosie's Italian Grille

The first Rosie's was in a building on Sylvania Avenue, owned by Phil's father, the late John Joseph Barone. The Barone patriarch was a lawyer and real estate developer who rose from the cleaning crew at Ohio State University to sit on its board of trustees. He owned the building in which his young sons Phil, John, and Mike opened a deli with an adjoining game arcade. "Mom came in to help out with her pinch of this and dash of that. Probably the hardest part was translating her recipes, but it was worth it" said Phil.

Soon the brothers closed the deli and opened the first take-out pizzeria in an old 7-11 down the street. Over the years we realized how we could best display Rosie's fine dining, keeping the traditional seasons accurately reflecting original italian cuisine and that was to focus our energy within our own community. Voila, Rosie's on North McCord is born, and that is where we call home today.
