As they say... when one door closes, another one opens. As Josephine's closed its doors in the same location earlier this year ending a long legacy, Rosario now opens its doors to share the joys of her unique heirloom recipes.
By the way, we got to learn from our server that Rosario happily welcomed the former crew from Josephine's which was so nice right?
But, this comes with closer to the touching the heart as the menu offerings, that are offered ala carte, are made from hearty and homey heirloom recipes passed down to the owner.
And, the specialty drinks are special concocted upon order by their skillful baristas.
Both indoor and al fresco are spacious enough to cater to big group s and all kinds of celebrations.

Rosario welcomes the entire family - even pets! We already saw some diners with their cute pets by the scenic pet-friendly al fresco area when we dined there.
Food
Pampagana
Pandesal |
A warm delicious of pandesal with their homemade peanut butter is complimentarily served while waiting for your orders.
Pinalutong na Tawilis (258 php) |
As I've previously shared, ordering the Pinalutong na Tawilis is a must for us in whenever we dine in Tagaytay and this rendition does not disappoint!
Ensalada
This Inihaw na Talong at Kamatis was my mom's request as her palate cleansing side dish. Considering the trending rant over the high price of tomatoes, we're quite please that this dish is generously adorned with sliced onions and tomatoes.
Sopas
The menu describes the Special Bulalo to be of free range beef shank. After a sip of the flavorful broth and a bit of this huge oh-so-tender chunk and we're a believer! The freshness and quality of the beef and the vegetables, together with the cooking precision, hands down makes this the best bulalo we've ever tried!
As you can see from the Kare Kareng Buntot at Twalya, the dishes comes in big portions and vibrantly rich so best to come in groups and order for sharing.
Who loves simmering everything in glorious gravy? Well, this Sizzling Bulalo Steak with comforting creamy mushroom sauce will surely please you to your hearts content.
Sari-Saring Laman ng Dagat
Uhm, excuse me but there's nothing ala pobre (poor man's) about this another gigantic Bangus Steak ala Pobre! It's so filling and extra tasty! Let's just judge it by how colorfully garnished it is and I'll rest my case.
Hipon sa Aligue at Kamias (988 php) |
The Hipon sa Aligue at Kamias is an unexpected combination that works wonderfully!
Rosario's Pistang Kanin |
For staple, go for the one with her namesake and order the Rosario's Pistang Kanin.
Inumin
Mahikang Tubig (210 php) and Ube Pandan (210 php) |
you can order drinks like this trending Mahikang Tubig as meal accompaniment or...
Cafe Latte Cold (165 php) and Matcha Espresso Cold (195 php) |
Everything we ordered was exquisite.
