"This is a beautifully browned loaf of that local favorite, semolina bread."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"Made with semolina, the same thing that's used to make dried pasta, you can see the creamy yellow tight crumb and thick crust characteristic of semolina bread. We aren't particular fans of semolina bread in general: it has a little sweetness and density that we don't love, but Rose & Joe's makes a classic version."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"This is a loaf of old-fashioned sesame seeded Italian bread, perfect for turning into a hero sandwich."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"The simple bakery pizza sold at Rose & Joe's is addictive. This well-browned piece is a home-reheated specimen. It may look something like Ellio's, but any similarity is purely superficial."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"The bottom of a slice of pizza looks like the lunar surface."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"It's not easy to pass Rose & Joe's window without being drawn inside."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"These freshly-filled cannoli have an especially fluffy and creamy sweetened ricotta filling."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"Eat a couple of slices at the bakery, but be sure to bring some home. It reheats beautifully."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"Rose & Joe's Italian Bakery."
Bruce Bilmes and Sue Boyle
"We are drawn in by the urban, beneath-the-tracks setting of Rose & Joe's."
