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!

    We had a delicious meal. Rose’s has just gotten better and better! From the fresh and perfectly share-able antipasti to the pasta with clams, pizza and steelhead. All YUM. Very solicitous service. Top notch dining!

    Enjoyed a delicious meal and evening at Rose's Cafe. We're glad we took the recommendation of the hotel staff to try Rosie's. The Linguini and Clams and Penne Pasta dishes were super tasty! Service was friendly and attentive.

    Rose's is a gem! Ambience is great! The host was most friendly! The food was excellent and fair priced. Where was everyone? Restaurant was half full, but should have been full. This is a lovely place. I'll be back!
