"**Sausage, Pepperoni, Garlic Basil Pizza:** This pizza features an attractive Chicago cut. While there's room for a bit more basil, the crust is impressively thin and soft, cooked just right—definitely not too crunchy. Rating: 4/5. It doesn't require any parmesan or red pepper flakes, as it’s robust enough on its own with quality ingredients. The scent of basil is lovely, and every bite reveals pieces of garlic that add depth to the sauce. The sauce is moderately flavored—rich enough to be satisfying while avoiding any sense of incompleteness. Interestingly, the pepperoni meshes well without overpowering the overall flavor, even though it's clearly present. Rating: 4/5.
**Meatball Sandwich:** Visually, this sandwich is stunning—one of the best-looking meatball sandwiches I've encountered. The cheese is melted over the meatballs but lacks a browned top, giving the impression that it was poured on rather than baked. While this keeps the ingredients moist, a quick torch for browning the cheese could enhance its visual appeal. Additionally, they omitted the peppers that were supposed to accompany the meatballs. Rating: 4/5. The flavor is quite good, although a few bites had an unusual sweetness that reminded me of sugar beets paired with sweet peppers, which was a unique experience. The flavor combination works well, but the bread should ideally be a bit larger to better accommodate the substantial meatballs. A soft hoagie roll would likely contain everything more effectively. It was somewhat messy to eat, as the sauce soaked through the middle of the bread, causing it to fall apart. Despite the messiness, the ingredients are top-notch. The sauce stands out here, as the meatballs themselves have a comparatively mild flavor. Rating: 4/5.
**Overall:** Rosati's presents a solid menu at reasonable prices. A medium pizza is $14, with additional toppings at $2 each. A basic meatball sandwich costs $9, and extras bring it up to $11—not too steep at all. The portion sizes are generous, so there’s no real need for extra sides. A few tweaks could elevate the experience to perfection! Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars."
