This place has to be Rosemount's diamond in the rough! My wife and I went here on a whim after hearing a blurb about it on the news a few weeks back. They are located a little bit further away from Rosemount's business district, and closer to Rosemount High School.
My wife and I kept coming back to try several items on their menu and here's our synopsis of it.
The pizza:
The pizza is by far one of *the best* pizzas we have ever had! We were hesitant to try it at first due to the previous reviewer's remarks, but Kaniatron couldn't be more wrong. Being a sausage fanatic, I wanted to try their sausage pizza. The cheese wasn't as heavy as described, and was actually very flavorful. The owner told us that it comes from a dairy farm in Wisconsin, which would explain why it is so darn tasty! The sauce on the pizza is perfect, not too sweet and not too spicy. My wife and I love their thin crust which is nice and crisp! The pizza was cut into squares making it easier to eat. I *loved* the big sausage piece that was on each square piece; it was just enough for one!
The cheese steaks:
Epic. That is all I can say. I mean, juicy meat dripping down your hand as you eat it with fried onions, tasty baguette bread with White American cheese, what's not to love about it? My wife and I were searching for the place that did authentic Philly steak sandwiches and this place delivered!
The Greek food:
My wife and I had tried their combination plate which has gyro, pita, Greek salad and a spinach pie. This plate is big enough for two to split and it was very well done. I find the meat to be spiced nicely and the Tzatziki sauce was very good! The lettuce and tomatoes on their Greek salad was very crisp and fresh, complemented by their Greek dressing and feta cheese crumbles. The spinach pie was probably one of the messiest foods on this plate because of the flakiness of it! It was very good, but very messy to eat.
Apparently they had just opened up their full service bar area, which is just a beautiful setting if you like a warmer atmosphere, whereas the older side of the restaurant has a nostalgic feel, but is a little on the older side. The service was very prompt, the owners were friendly and we will continue to go here as it is much closer to our house!
Our verdict:
This place is a must if you're in Rosemount! The philly steaks and pizzas as well as their Greek food were out of this world! We saw some interesting Greek Fusion style foods that we have yet to try as well as their Sunday brunch buffet, but will do so and review that later!
