Cozy Upper West Side Italian spot with standout pastas, salumi, and warm hospitality; portions skew small and space is tight, but flavors and vibe win most diners over.
Salumeria Rosi delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—particularly standout lasagna and house pastas—paired with warm, attentive service. Tight quarters and limited restroom facilities prevent higher distinction, while occasional consistency dips and modest portions relative to pricing keep it from grade A territory. Strong loyalty and a charming Upper West Side location make it a reliable neighborhood favorite for Italian comfort food.
One caveat: Small, tight seating and a single restroom can feel cramped at peak times
