At Rosie Cannonball, we’re serving European comfort food in a lively atmosphere. The restaurant celebrates the origins of cooking through open, live fire and is centered around a wood-burning oven and grill.

The menu draws inspiration from individual ingredients: local vegetables, pastas and pizzas, simple seafood and locally-sourced meat cooked over live fire.

Master Sommelier June Rodil curated an expansive list of delicious wines with a strong Italian, Spanish and French focus from their favorite producers new and old, along with options from progressive New World producers.

The cocktail menu has strong Italian influences, mirroring the focus of the food.

    Always love the Cacio y Pepe pasta! Takes me back to Italy. Last two times the four cheese pizzas left something to be desired, either burnt or almost all tomato sauce and a spec of cheese, etc. Have the chef try the pizzas. They might realize they need to make some changes. Normally this is our favorite pizza in town. Service is excellent.

    We were seated 15 minutes after our reservation time, which is not a problem (it was very busy), however the lack of hospitality will keep us from returning. One hostess tried to seat us outside and at a high top with a “view” of the kitchen. We had purposefully made the reservation for the main dining room. The other hostess offered us a complimentary cocktail while we waited, to which I replied we wanted drinks when we sitting at our table- not sitting by the entrance without a spot to place our drinks and with the hustle of people coming in and out the door. She seemed shocked and said “did you want to wait at Montrose cheese and wine next door?”. When we were seated, the offer for a complimentary drink was not offered. Our server was kind and friendly, just potentially inexperienced or taking orders from someone else. She brought over the bean salad because of the long wait. We sent it back as we did not want this dish and were not asked if we wanted it. She also seemed shocked by this. We ordered a cocktail, the crudo, and two pizzas. Nothing was taken off the bill. Our server asked if we wanted a complimentary cookie for the wait. Why not remove something off our bill, or even ask if there was something we wanted, such as an appetizer or a dessert? We enjoyed the food, but as there are so many restaurants in Houston with incredible hospitality, we are unlikely to bother returning to Rosie Cannonball.

    Hi Nicola, Thank you for visiting Rosie Cannonball yesterday and for sharing such candid feedback. Clearly our service and hospitality did not live up to your expectations - a disappointing moment for us, in spite of our efforts. We hope to swiftly make things right and host you again soon. xoxo, Rosie
