La Cucina Rosalie: Highland’s Hidden Gem for Authentic Italian Cuisine & Memorable Events

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at La Cucina Rosalie & Lou’s. From beginning to end Rosalie went above and beyond to accommodate our dream wedding. Rosalie listened to what we had in mind and gently guided us through the appetizers, main meals and desserts available. All our guests commented how wonderful everything was! The table settings were beautiful, the room was clean and spacious. This is a welcome addition for Highland. It’s tucked away at Vineyard Commons and is open to the public.. I strongly recommend that you give La Cucina Rosalie & Lou’s a try. You will not be disappointed at Highland’s hidden gem.

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could but rounded up because Rosalie, I'm assuming, was very nice and took pride in her food. The main problem with this restaurant is some of the dishes were on the cool side. Pan fried mozzarella had warm and cool spots in it - would have been delicious if it had been warmer. Also ordered broccoli rabe as a side, this was borderline cold. The food that was warm was very good and fairly priced. Large cocktails and wine. Good value for the money but disappointed that food arrived cold. The restaurant is in a very odd place. It's located in a senior living apartment complex and has decor that looks like a senior living facility dining room. No stars off for this, just saying atmosphere is not it's strong suit.

We had our son's first birthday party at La Cucina and we couldn't have had a better experience. They did not disappoint! Rosalie was wonderful to work with. The food was delicious and timed perfectly. She displayed the appetizers and desserts as animals to play into our party theme and they were adorable!! The staff are all friendly and very accommodating. We didn't worry about a thing and were able to enjoy the party. We had an amazing experience. Thank you La Cucina for making this day perfect for us and our "Wild One"!! We will see you again soon!

This might be the best kept secret in the Hudson Valley!! The food at Rosalie is outstanding!! The restaurant is part of Vineyard Commons in Highland, and like many others, I thought this restaurant catered to an “older” eating style. NOT SO. Her menu is extensive and she always has some great off menu specials. If you like Italian, look no further. Rosalie in Highland is the place to go…..try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Best food in the Hudson Valley. Service is on the money, beautiful dinning room. another great night food spectacular as always.

What a delight to find this place, hidden a way in a lovely little spot in Highland. The service and vibe are great, as well as the eggplant spread that comes with the bread. I had the Eggplant Parmigiana, which came really quickly, but unfortunately, the sauce tasted like freezer burn and was rather bland. This place has great potential. I'll definitely give it another try, but the kitchen needs to taste stuff when they defrost it and before they serve it.

We are incredibly happy to have this excellent restaurant so close by! Friendly and accommodating staff, excellent food and always a good time. Always excellent!

Amazing homemade authentic Italian food cooked with love. I have eaten here many times and everything I’ve had I have thoroughly enjoyed. My son had a 60th surprise birthday party here for me, it was wonderful and all that attended loved it too! I would absolutely recommend for an enjoyable lunch, dinner or special occasion.
