    WOW is all is can say about this place! Can’t believe I just found out about it! It was my first time going in today after my friend highly recommended it. A must try if you are a pasta lover! Mary did such an amazing job in answering all my questions I had about the menu etc because I never had been before. Big shout out to her for being so nice and lovely. The food made Ash was beyond excellent and prepared exactly how I wanted it done with no errors. Glad to see them taking such care of the way they handle everything with covid 19 being at its peak right now in Toronto. You can rest assured your pasta needs are in good hands here literally and they are being super clean and safe during these times. A must try I can’t say it again! Can’t wait to come back in and have more 5 star pasta experiences.

    I have been coming here for a while now and just wanted to give them a review. I always order the same thing, Mac n cheese. My motto is why get something else if you found something you love. So it’ll always be the same. However this is one amazing Mac n cheese. It has a hint of garlic in it and they use several different cheeses in it. It’s a nice thick texture, not runny. The portion size is also amazing, there is enough to share. Also the price is more then fair. All in all a big win for me.

    Best pasta in scarborough....been eyeing this place for a while and after checking the reviews decided to try the food...the reviews are spot on... very balanced taste, good size portions ( I couldn't finish one alone ) tried the Arrabiatta sauce , it has angry written next to it for a reason, if your not into spicy food don't go for this and tried Alfredo and it's one of best you will ever have. Limited menu but worth it..I would surely suggest you try the pasta once.

    Simply above and beyond what you might expect. Family run business with true flavors. I love the taste of all their sauses and add-on. Veggie options available! And I have visited them again and again. Try their Rose sauce and Butter chicken... amazing!

    I ordered food and as I was waiting I was so turned off from the state of the business…… THE COOK WAS SCRATCHING HIS NOSE THEN WENT STRAIGHT TO THE STOVE WITHOUT WASHING HANDS!!! Disgusting and dirty. When my salad was being made, they used their entire hand to sprinkle cheese onto my salad. NOT SANITARY AT ALL! So disgusting. $28+ for unsanitary food.

    My family loves the pasta at Rosa’s! Each portion size feeds 2 people, and my kids absolutely love the spaghetti and meat sauce. The owners are also very sweet and kind and take care in preparing the food. The Left overs are always good! It’s a great time saver when you need a quick meal for the family after work that is healthy and delicious! We order pasta at least 1x a month. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed! The shrimp linguine is awesome!

    The pasta tastes amazing! I think they recently started a loyalty card which is amazing. For your 8th and 9th pasta you get 10% off a base pasta and the 10th base pasta is FREE! I love their Linguine Alfredo with Spinach and Shrimp.

    Food was awfully, Veal with pasta. Veal was so hard and almost burned. Could not cut it with a plastic knife. Veal usually rips easily when you bite into it. I could not bite it, and cutting it was a mission. The pasta was tasty, but the Veal ruined everything. Will never return again. I was starving, which is the only reason I ate it. This was my first and last visit.

    Stopped by and grabbed some food from here. Overall for a grab and go spot it’s not bad just depends what you put together, maybe the chef should just pre pick items instead of the build your own pasta idea with flavours that work. Solid 3.5/5 ⭐️

    I was here at Rosa's Pasta Express for the first time and the experience was pretty good. They have varieties of pasta and sauces to choose from. I would recommend visiting this place. I ordered Penne pasta with Arrabiatta sauce. The taste was excellent with authentic Italian taste and good service. The price of each pasta was worth with good quantity. Must visit this place.

    Walked in for takeout. Was ready quickly. Small menu, nice and simple - I bet everything is good. Had meatball sandwich, penne with sausage and mushrooms. Is build your own - select your ingredients and they make it. Minimal seating - takeout only. Great taste, really nice staff. Will come back for sure

    The food here is amazing and very flavourful! It's hard to find flavourful pasta's in the city but this spot never disappoints! 10/10 and lots of vegetarian options as well :)

    Dissapointing to say the least. Went in to order a simple spaghetti and meatball and the bill came out to be $19. So high expectations. Unfortunately, it was store bought pasta and store frozen meatballs and little to no bland tomato sauce. If the food is going to be low quality then you can't be charging almost $20. Overpriced and bland food

    I had the gluten-free pasta with sun dried tomato pesto sauce. This is a good place to order from if you’re craving Italian but don’t have the energy to cook. It was reasonably priced and very good portion size (really generous amount of pasta actually, I didn’t expect it).

    I had their vegetable pasta. I had rose sauce with jalapenos, olives, and mushrooms. It was delicious!

    I used to love going to Rosas! They used to offer $8 pasta with 3 free vegetables! I went recently and now they charge $1 per vegetable you add which is okay but when I saw my pasta, there were barely any inside despite paying an extra $3 for the vegetables. Also, in my pasta there wasn’t enough sauce and all I tasted was the linguini. Not sure if it was a one time thing but I hope the consistency comes back quick! The food tastes really good though!

    best pasta in the gta. quality and value are unmatched. every combination you can make is equally tasty, but my favourite sauce is the rose. Plus the portions are huge, I always have leftovers! Everytime I come to Rosa’s, I crave their pasta for the next 2 weeks haha Takeout is always quick with great service, will be back again and again for more.

  • 2/5 Rifat Rahmia J. 4 months ago on Google • 61 reviews
    I was very excited to order from there seeing average 4.7 stars reviews. Unfortunately the food was not as I expected. I ordered a veal parmesan sandwich and fusilli pasta with some toppings. The veal was over fried which made the edges crispy. It was almost tasteless. The pasta was so dry with not enough sauce. My friend had a chicken parmesan with pasta. His pasta had enough sauce but chicken was so over cooked that it was hard to cut with a knife. I have never found Italian dishes with this kind of poor quality in any other Italian restaurant. Not going back there again.

    Found this place after reading reviews online. Very nice folks serving delicious food with a smile. We ordered pasta and a sandwich and enjoyed both dishes. They were sold out of their butter chicken sauce, which we wanted to also try, so we will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Kelly H. 1 year ago on Google
    We went not knowing what to expect. I got the lasagna, which was an amazing choice considering you get a pound of lasagna for a great price and it's absolutely delicious! I would definitely go back!! The staff are also very kind and polite. Definitely recommend going, it was absolutely astounding.

    With all those garbage fast food places out there. It is rare to find a fairly healthy home made type of food that is of good quality. Lots of pasta options and great Italian sandwiches. Never disappoints.

    You will not be disappointed ordering food from Rosa's! Comfort food to the max! I always order the penne rose, perfect every time! Highly recommend! Neighbourhood fav for sure :)

  • 5/5 Ashley G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered a small party tray rose pasta with chicken. It tasted amazing! My guest loved the pasta. Requested to make it mild spicy and that is what Maria accomplished with her pastas. Definitely will be ordering again!

  • 4/5 Yoli 10 months ago on Google
    1st time visiting, customer service was great and prompt. Food also didn’t take very long to produce and was very tasty.

    Rosa… you ROCK!!! A wonderful & tasty family feast! Got the family meal for my daughter’s birthday last April & she insisted on it again! It was her “ask” & I’m so glad that Rosa’s did not disappoint! It serves 4 but the pasta is easily stretched to 6. Portions were plentiful …garlic bread & a small family salad (with dressing on the side) were also included; then you also get soft drinks for 4! The portions are large enough to have leftover pasta for the next day’s brunch! I ordered on line & went to pick it up. It was timely & they were kind enough to help me to get it to my car (I have mobility challenges)…very thoughtful! Meat & veggies are extras & can be ordered on the side; they are individually priced & cost extra. Great bang for your buck…Rosa delivers deliciousness!! Thanks, Chandra

  • 4/5 Chris H. 1 year ago on Google
    Service good; quantity good; value good. The only negative is that although nothing ordered was supposed to be spicy both meals were too spicy for our liking.Not sure why? One dinner didn’t even have a sauce added and the other dinner’s sauce was Marinara.

  • 5/5 Adel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good portions and taste for the price! Enjoyed this dinner after a 3hr lecture in Uni

  • 5/5 Rahma M. 2 years ago on Google
    Drove by and saw this hidden gem! My picky toddler loves pasta and ate the fusilli ground meat with maranera sauce! I most certainly will be back and I love how large the portions were and how kind and lovely the owners were!!! It tasted homemade which is hard to do with fast food

    AMAZING PASTA!! I had penne with vegetables and meatballs. The pasta sauce was delicious and made to perfection. After one mouthful, you know it was made from scratch with love.
