Rosie’s Cocktails & Pies, the popular downtown spot known for Jersey-style pizza and cleverly-named craft cocktails, will briefly close its dining room August 24 and reopen as “Rosie’s Italian” in early September.

Crown Restaurant Group announced Tuesday that the Pop Art-themed pizza joint is getting a new look and an expanded menu to meet growing challenges from inflation affecting the industry. The refresh also reflects chef and owner Anthony Sitek’s love for classic Italian cuisine, including the scratch-made pastas he grew up with in New Jersey that have become staples at his other restaurants Losanti and Crown Republic Gastropub.
“Rosie’s is a place to bring some of what I loved about where I grew up on the East Coast to Cincinnati,” says Sitek. “Focusing on pizza worked when people were just starting to dine out again in 2021, but as inflation rates continue to rise we knew it was time for a refresh and expanded offerings.”

Those offerings include an Amish Chicken Piccata, Eggplant Parmesan, Sizzling Shrimp Scampi, carbonara, ziti, manicotti, meatballs, and more. And there’s no need to panic, pizza fans: the new menu features familiar favorites like the Honey Pie, Tie-Dye, and Margarita pizzas.
You still have about a week to visit Rosie’s Cocktails & Pies before construction starts, and you’ll still be able to order take-out from a limited menu while the remodel is underway. Orders can be placed at rosiescocktailsandpies.com 4:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays and 4:30 to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
