Rose’s Café

Leisurely, welcoming Italian bistro/café that elicits fierce declarations of loyalty from Cow Hollow locals and quietly has one of the best pizzas in the city. Everything’s house-made, organic and/or local — daily specials are always a good move though we like the spaghetti with meatballs for dinner and the smoked salmon pizza with crème fraiche for brunch. FYI can be a tough table on sunny weekend mornings, especially the coveted sidewalk seats.
