About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
A favorite in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, Rose's Café is a hangout for locals who bask in the sun at sidewalk tables, duck inside for a cappuccino, or stay for a leisurely meal. Many customers are regulars who frequent the pretty bistro-café that offers table service and some of the most deliciously affordable food in San Francisco - Italian fare created using organic local produce, fresh seafood, humanely raised meats, and free-range poultry. Rose's artisan bakers bake a daily selection of pastries, desserts and breads. Menu highlights include: pizzas, daily soups and house made pasta. Accepting Reservations for Dinner Only!

    I didn’t really enjoy my experience. The food was fine. The service was terrible and it took almost an hour for our entrees to come out. If you’re going to go, order simple and get the margarita pizza and the chopped salad.

    Rose’s Cafe is one of the best places in SF - Cow Hollow but a quieter end of Union St , it’s a favorite for locals from The neighborhood. Fantastic home made pasta dishes, fresh salads, crispy thin crust wood fired pizzas and amazing Chocollate cake - YES !!! Love the ambience and staff are perfection. Already looking forward to going again…
