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!

    Great menu selections. Service went above and beyond suggesting I taste the two wines i was deciding between. Cozy atmosphere. Felt like a classic neighborhood San Francisco restaurant. Would definitely come back.

    We had apple gorgonzola salad, the soup special, and the Steelhead main. All beautifully prepared. This is our favorite restaurant in this area, just a lovely atmosphere!

    Best thin crust pizza I've had, and I've had quite a few. Pasta with sausage in a cream sauce was excellent. Waiter was very attentive. Wines very good and reasonable.

    We enjoyed an early dinner on Saturday night. The hostess gave us the perfect table and the waitress was very attentive. Every single bite of food was out of this world! Rose’s is our new favorite restaurant.
