The relaxed feel of Rosetta&#x27;s is akin to that of a retro dive bar in Los Angeles (or a Swedish summer cottage, depending on whom you ask). In the hip Hornstull area, the restaurant has become appreciated not only thanks to the atmosphere, but from the successful marriage between comfort-foods and plant/seafood ingredients. Here, golden oldies like mac&#x27;n cheese and hamburgers get new, fresh makeovers appealing to meat lovers and vegetarians alike. And, in keeping with the theme, you can order great cocktails to accompany your meal, too!
