You know that you have a favorite local place that is your go-to place for when you really-should-cook-at-home-but-are-just-too-lazy nights. That place for us is, more times than most, The Rosa Restaurant in Portsmouth, NH on State Street just before the bridge to Kittery. It is ½ a block from Prescott Park.
We order out pizza most frequently, but sometimes we get one entrée and split it. You get a salad and bread with the entrée, and we frequently have enough left for lunch the next day.
The pizza is thin crust, so if you like thick crust – order something else! Our favorite is fresh tomato, black olive and sausage. They’ll pretty much make whatever you want.
We also frequently order pasta puttanesca on angel hair, sometimes with chicken added – sometimes not. I know, it’s not on the menu. Just ask for it – that’s the kind of place that Rosa’s is. If I’m in a really pig-out mood, I’ve gotten the puttanesca with sausage. Their chicken Rosa is also very good. It is boneless chicken chunks with tomatoes, onion, garlic, olives, mushrooms, and prosciutto served over the pasta of your choice.
They have a salad that is always a good choice: Mesclun greens and baby spinach tossed with dried cranberries, pecans, fresh orange, and orange vinaigrette. They call it a mixed green salad, but it is a lot more than just greens.
