Drink The Wine, Eat The Pasta
US$36.00 per person
Multiple dates available
Let's be honest, the best conversations have been made over Pasta & Wine. Whether its shouting from the rooftops proclaiming true love, or the obligatory full mental breakdown over a work email. Pasta and a good (or bad) bottle has always been there. Its what defines us. It's what makes us who we are. Michelangelo didn't paint the Sistine Chapel on an empty stomach. He was inspired by the mouth-watering combination of cheesy, perfectly al dente, godly bowl of pasta & a dry, peppery glass of vino. Let's pay an homage to Italy by offering your next memorable experience with us. We will be offering a Cacio e Pepe & Wine Tasting for $35. You get to choose 3, 2oz. pours off our wine list accompanied by a dish a Cacio E Pepe.

Our favorite spot in town. Food was delicious as always, and the service was awesome - attentive but never rushed. Just a great place and made for a very enjoyable anniversary dinner, especially with a glass of champagne on the house.

We had a long standing reservation for 7:00 pm which they were unable to meet as they gave our table to a larger business party who refused to vacate the table after dinner. We waited in the bar area for an hour with constant promises from the hostess and manager that our table would be ready in 10 to 20 minutes which never occurred. Poor restaurant management skills! We ate in the bar area and our server (Joshua) was great.

We have eaten at this restaurant several times before. The dining room is pleasant enough; the bar is cramped and noisy. The weather was perfect so we ate in the patio. That was the sweet spot; really a great place to be seated. The gnocchi and both varieties of Bolognese were great, as was the salmon carpaccio. This is a really fine restaurant.

We celebrated our Mom’s 92nd Birthday here. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! The food came out piping hot and the portions were quite large! I think everyone brought home leftovers. Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed! Thank you, LaRosa’s for helping make this a memorable evening!

Beautiful summer evening dining al fresco. Attentive and friendly staff, fabulous cocktails! Apps were outstanding (shrimp and melon w/prosciutto), pasta bolognese was perfect. We didn't love the veal chop, a solid 3.5/5. A wonderful end to our day of local museum hopping, thank you!

The experience started with the warm welcome that the Host gave us. Celebrating our anniversary at “La Rosa’s” was the perfect intimate Dinner Date place. Great vibes (very romantic with soft music playing) food was amazing, but our Server Erika was beyond amazing her customer service expertise was totally a VIP experience.

Nice outdoor dining in downtown Andover. The burrata appetizer was very nice, and the pastas were also good. We like being outside - indoors gets very loud. LaRosa's is solid if you order basic pastas and salads/appetizers.

Our table was in the room near the kitchen and where the food display cases & kitchen are. It’s not the best ambiance for an elegant dinner. The service was great and food excellent on par with many meals I’ve enjoyed in the countryside Italy, simple, but fresh-flavored and using local ingredients. Portion’s definitely American plus, plus. Wines well-selected but on the high side price wise. I would suggest more Italian wines. Deserts good but again enormous. I enjoyed for 2 additional meals. So great value!

A mixed review. Disappointed that the Tonno appetizer wasn't available. Salmon entree fell short. The salmon skin wasnt crispy although well seasoned. Didn't understand the artichokes on the plate at all - underseasoned and tough. Pasta Paladina was great as was the service. Chardonnay overpriced.

When bread was served I asked for butter instead of olive oil. I was told by my server that they weren’t allowed to serve butter !! Hard to believe that I couldn’t get butter at a restaurant that I consider rather high priced. Chicken parm for 34$ !! I will not return.
