Red rose is well-known nationwide as the place to go for pizza and Italian when in Hartford, Connecticut. As a stand alone restaurant, Red Rose doesn't compromise when it comes to quality or quantity. I ordered the basic pepperoni pie. One bite everybody knows the rules. I gave it a solid 9.2.

Stayed at the MGM next door. We had a business dinner at Red Rose and I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. I ordered the Veal Francaise and it was flavorful and tender. The restaurant was packed and the service was excellent. Highly recommended!

Red Rose likes things large: Large pizzas Large portions Large facility Large chandeliers The facility is a mix of high class and old school decor. I liked it! A wall of fancy mirrors, wood paneling, brick wall, murals of Italian feasts, etc... It's loud though as this place holds a lot of people and parties going on all around at regular tables. First off I ALWAYS appreciate a place where a salad is built into their meal price and bread! And let's talk about their prices- on par with other places but they give you the salad! The salad- their own Italian dressing and a good amount of parmesan cheese. It was delicious! The pizza- cut in squares (not a huge fan of this but it's their thing so I show respect.) A lot of dough but not too much. I actually enjoyed the pizza (it's not my favorite but I would definitely have it again. Great sauce to cheese ratio and plenty of pepperoni. We went with a medium and it fed 5 people ( 2 picked as they had an entree.) I had the chicken parm. Big portion, lots of cheese and sauce YES! Jo, our waitress, has worked there for 20 years and was super nice. We had questions and she took the time to chat with us about the decor and history. Jo knocked it out of the park with us!

Pizza! Heck yeah! But also... Ok, hold on, their salad. I know you wouldn't think it! But their salad with a slice of that homemade bread is fire, just don't get too carried away otherwise you won't have room for pizza. Is there such a thing as too much cheese? I'll let you decide. We ordered extra cheese on our "medium" pie and it was Oooozing! (see pics for reference) Also, let's talk about sizes for a second. When you order a medium here, understand that it's going to come with 16 slices (I think) and they're not like circular, its square cut. Four of us ate and we still had like half the pizza leftover. Great crust, good taste, this is a great pie for sure. It's the tomato sauce that is just perfect. We also ordered the shrimp app and it was great. All of us were so full by the time we were done that our previous aspirations of ordering dessert were knocked out of the options arena. Beautiful old building that has been there since 1963. The dining room is massive with huge crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceilings and hand painted murals of the old world on the walls. The original owners have since passed but we found out that the children who are a brother and sister team are now running the show, and what a great job they're doing of it. Keep it going, can't wait to visit again.

Good pizza and Italian place in the shadows of MGM casino, right off the highway. We got a small pizza with toppings, lasagna which came with house salad. Holy smokes, their small pie was the size of some other places' large. We had a lot of take out leftovers. Lasagna was very cheesy and hot. Wait was 20 mins, but it can get very crowded.

Amazing pizza, but come with an appetite because the portions are HUGE! I've been to Red Rose about three times, as I come to Springfield often, and it's the best pizza in the area. The 3rd time I visited, I decided to try some appetizers, and I'm glad that I did. My bf and I shared some mozzarella triangles with marinara sauce, and they were very tasty! The only draw back is that you are unable to get refills without paying for every single cup. A pitcher of a drink is $5, or you can pay $2.49 per refill. The interior is definitely a throwback to pizzerias in the 60s, and I love everything about it. If you're in the mood for a lot of super yummy pizza, this is the spot for you.
