The editorial take
Rosie's Italian Grille runs a beverage program with genuine range. The bar menu carries ten martinis and seven handcrafted cocktails, an extensive wine list with a Captain's List of high-end bottles, and a craft beer selection with local and imported options. Happy hour brings $7 drinks and $1 off domestic beer. The spirits list is limited to well drinks, but the wine and beer depth gives the program its backbone.

Beer drinkers can look to Two Hearted IPA or Birra Peroni Lager on draft.
