Rossi's

thinkxingu · 09-26-2025, 05:49 PM

The last posts about Rossi's are from 2017 or something, so I thought I'd share that I gave it a go tonight and had forgotten how much I like their food.

My friend and I grabbed many of our 90's post-hike meals at Rossi's, but I hadn't really been back since.

Nothing fancy—mozza sticks, chicken parm calzone, and French fries—but it was all fresh, and I really like their sauce.

Updated to add: no free soda refills, which is weird in '25, and no indication that the second was going to cost me. Not a big deal, but just so people know!

Mrs Rossi's son posts here from time to time

We LOVE Rossi’s! Step above Giuseppe’s, though they put up a good fight too. Margo is just a killer cook. When she isn’t in, we know…missing that special touch! We don’t care about “outdated decor” or whatever folks want to pick on there, we’re there for the food! If you haven’t stopped in try it, everything on the menu is quality.

Outdated to some is nostalgic to others. What other places can people think of that look the way they did several decades ago? Harts and George’s Diner come to mind.

...drove by today and noticed a big Roche Realty "For Sale" sign out front. That's a bummer...loved their food!

Here's a Facebook listing. As one commenter posted, I hope this doesn't affect the Maple Creamery!

Sad to see the listing. Hope to get a few more dinners there before they sell or close. Good food, good staff.

Are they still open for business?

They were today.

Rumor I heard was open through Columbus Day.

Yes, can confirm they plan to be open through Columbus Day weekend. Get it while you can! Margo’s cooking is fantastic, and will be missed!

bellamaria · 10-01-2026, 08:20 PM

Saturday 10/10 is the final day for Rossi’s

Thank you so much, bellamaria, for posting about Rossi's closing date. I wouldn't have known otherwise. I am very grateful to have had the chance to wish Margo well after her 43 years(!) in business. I will miss her food, her humor, her apron, and most of all, her kindness. Always loved the throwback charm of the building, too. But she seems ready, and so I am happy for her.
