Arrabbiata with Chicken from Rosalina’s Kitchen

Arrabiata with Chicken from Rosalina’s Kitchen on Hamilton Street in Worcester, MA

Arrabiata with Chicken from Rosalina’s Kitchen on Hamilton Street in Worcester, MARosalina’s Kitchen is a small quaint restaurant nestled in a neighborhood in Worcester.

Our server was so nice and helpful and Rosalina’s was super busy for a Wednesday night, always a good sign of good food.

I ordered the Caprese salad, sans tomatoes, I know strange. Fresh basil, slices of mozzarella, balsamic and slight drizzle of olive oil was just what I was craving. Yes, I did share.

For my main dish, I ordered Arrabbiata with chicken – sautéed in a spicy white wine sauce with mushrooms, tomatoes, & pepper rings. The servings are very large. My meal was excellent, not too spicy and the white wine sauce was a delicate balance to the flavors without being too heavy. The pasta I selected was ziti, while it was not homemade was very good, cooked to perfection. Overall, I very much enjoyed my dinner.

I also was able to try my neighbor’s stuffed ravioli dessert, (thank you!) stuffed with peanut butter, oh my, my…. That was simply delectable, again very large, enough to share.

In addition to having fantastic food, Rosalina’s Kitchen is also a BYOB something about a BYOB place; I always think the food is better.

Low Carb Option from an Italian Eatery

Rosalina's Kitchen on Hamilton Street in Worcester, MA

Rosalina's Kitchen on Hamilton Street in Worcester, MAI do low carb, so it can be a challenge to figure out what to order when I’m out for dinner with friends; and, even more so, when we end up at an Italian Restaurant. Add to that dilemma the fact that this particular restaurant—Rosalina’s Kitchen—makes their own ravioli of which everyone raves about! Luckily, I like steak and Rosalina’s Kitchen has a really good one: a great, big boneless ribeye. The menu doesn’t say how much it weighs but I’m a big eater and it was plenty. It was about 1″ to 1-1/4″ thick and pretty much filled the plate. They will serve it with a blue cheese sauce option, but I had opted for plain and it was delicious. It was grilled it to perfection — slightly charred on the outside and a nice consistent medium rare throughout. As a side, I had their Caesar salad with white anchovies. In my opinion, it would have been better with the regular dark anchovies but even with the white variety the salad was fresh, crisp, and with the dressing very tasty. In addition to the great food, the cost saving BYOB policy, and the comfortable atmosphere, the service was top notch. There were 15 people at out table and we all were served at the same time, all the orders were correct, and we never left wanting for anything. Go — you won’t regret it.
