Few restaurants can boast the same adherence to quality service and home-cooked Italian cuisine as Rose Marie’s. Located just off Bloomsburg’s main drag, between Fog and Flame and The Exchange Art Gallery, Rose Marie’s is a hidden gem. This family owned restaurant that opened in 2001 offers a variety of choices, from hearty yet healthy salads to seafood and steaks for the discerning customer.

By sight, Rose Marie’s menu items may look similar to that of any other Italian-American restaurant, but don’t be fooled—its food is miles ahead of the standard fare. Popular appetizers include mini lump crab cakes, arancini, and calamari fritta. Dinner favorites are chicken cacciatore and parmigiana, pasta a la puttanesca, and seafood lasagna. Rose Marie’s also offers specialty sandwiches, stuffed sandwiches, salads, pizza, and calzones.
