Rose's Cafe

With its ample outdoor seating, wood-fired pizza oven, and gorgeously wild floral arrangements, this quaint Italian spot brings a little European charm to the Marina. The stars of the morning menu are the breakfast pizzas, whether laden with smoked ham, fontina, and eggs or smoked salmon and creme fraiche. All the bread is made daily in house—a clear vote for any dish served with toast—as are the pastries. Neighborhood regulars pop in on the way to work for the baked goods, whether the fruit focaccia and sour cream coffee cake or a still-warm ham and cheese croissant.
