It's been a long time since both of us have been thoroughly impressed!! Everything, literally everything was top notch!! Mia was our server and she holds the balance of attentiveness while affording us our privacy, absolute professionalism. Drinks were generously proportioned, and the wine would please a connoisseur. The calamari was phenomenal, the prime rib pasta comes HIGHLY recommended, as well as the lasagna. A free cannoli for being our first time!! Overall the appetizer, soup/ salad, main course and dessert was well timed, and fairly priced. Will most definitely be returning, and they come highly recommended!!

Will be back. I judge a steak by one standard only. Is it better than I can make? The answer here is yes. Cooked to perfection! If I can eat a ribeye with no fat left on the plate, then it’s done/cooked right. Not a morsel left. Mushrooms and onions were on point and a perfect addition to the bitterness of the char. Outstanding and will definitely be back when I’m in the area!

We chose Rosa’s for our 14th anniversary dinner, and we are so glad we did! We would recommend Rosa’s Outlook Inn, without question, to anyone. From the ease of making a reservation online through Google to the best steak sauce and pasta we’ve ever had, our experience was top-notch from beginning to end. Our server was personable and kind and provided excellence service (thank you, Katheryn!). Heads up, the entree portions are humongous! You can easily share a dish between two or three people and still likely have leftovers. It would be very easy to dine here family style and have half of the people choose a dish to share around the table. We thoroughly enjoyed our Honey Chicken Alfredo, French Onion Soup, and a special from the night- a Blackened Ribeye with the most incredible cream based steak sauce (I wanted to take a BATH in that sauce it was SO GOOD!) If you’re looking for an excellent place to take the family or to enjoy a special night with a loved one, this is the place for you.

Best Italian place i have EVVVEEERRRR found. I have eaten here a few times and havent found a single thing i didnt thoroughly enjoy. The wait staff is absolutely incredible. Very fast and friendly. Did not rush us out the door after we had finished either. Its a shame i cant give this an extra 2 stars. Definately hands down best restaurant around. The prime rib pasta, zesty chicken penne, bourbon chicken, and the cajun crusted chicken pasta are a MUST try!!! Everything is beyond fantastic! Ive added pictures of 95% of all my meals.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in northern Michigan. Been eating here since I was a kid and have to eat here at least twice a year whenever I go up. I truly miss the breaded chicken wings they used to have if youve ate here long enough you’ll remember them!!

This is the place for Italian fine dining in northeast Michigan. Every time I have brought my family for dinner it has been delicious and the service is impeccable. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Love Rosa's! Highly recommend one of my most favorite restaurants. Fabulous antipasto salad with added chicken, delicious prime rib, of course a top shelf Long Island and an Italian Soda. Thank you Taylor and Cassie for the great service ...
