Amazing Italian food in Newberg. I love a small menu and not having to choose from an overwhelming selection and this hit the spot. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, truffle ravioli and the veal and they were all delicious. For dessert, the tiramisu was heavenly! The price point was right. We’ll be back for another date night.

I have never been to Italy but this is the best Italian food I have ever had! We did the 5 course Saturday set menu dinner with the Chef explaining everything as we ate. Menu changes all of the time for the Saturday hosted dinner. Great wine, amazing food and the Balsamic vinegar that they import from Italy is the best, bought a bottle. They also use a bacon made from the jowl and aged for 4 years called Guanciale, amazing. We were a group of 6 and two of them are very picky eaters and they ate everything! I can't recommend this enough.

NEXT LEVEL! Just forget your alternative dinner plans---if you want Italian, THIS is the place! Rosmarino Osteria Italiana – A Transcendent Experience First Visit – Classic Italian Mastery. Forget your backup plans and make a reservation a few days agead of time—if Italian cuisine calls, Rosmarino Osteria Italiana is the answer. Having eaten my way through Boston’s North End countless times, I can say with conviction: I would happily dine here every day if I lived nearby. On our first visit, we experienced the depth of Chef-Owner Dario Pisoni’s artistry through a special risotto—creamy, perfectly balanced, and executed with quiet precision. The cinghiale (wild boar), slow-braised and tender, spoke of rustic Italian heritage elevated to fine dining. Service was warm yet seamless, and Dario’s intuitive wine pairings left no note unresolved. It was, simply put, transcendent. --- Second Visit – Oregon Winemaker’s Dinner. ($165/pp) Our return for the Oregon Winemaker’s Dinner Series was nothing short of a revelation. This five-course pairing menu, spotlighting Willamette Valley’s finest wines, revealed the restaurant’s brilliance in a new dimension. Chef Dario’s culinary imagination and genial, exuberant personality dazzled once again. Along with Sheena and their gracious staff, he doesn’t just serve food—he creates memories, welcoming every guest as family. The Blueberry Gorgonzola Gnocchi was tender, pillowy, and brilliantly balanced, while the multi-hour braised short rib over silken polenta was sheer poetry: decadent, soulful, unforgettable. With every pairing, Dario’s knowledge and wit shined, turning dinner into a performance. --- Verdict. Rosmarino Osteria Italiana doesn’t merely serve meals—it stages memories. Each visit has been a masterclass in cuisine, hospitality, and the joy of food and wine in harmony. On any scale, it deserves not just five stars, but ten. To miss it would be to deny yourself one of Oregon’s—and Italy’s—most transcendent tables. Saluté
