THE BOUILLABAISSE AT Rosé by Peno is a lot like the Lafayette Square neighborhood it inhabits: elegant and classy. Since Rosé opened last spring, it has posited itself as a nexus between Calabrian cuisine and the culinary techniques of Marseille—sort of like “Papillion does pasta.”
Rosé is small enough to fit into the “cozy” category, yet it doesn’t seem cramped even when full. It’s intimate, with windows looking out into the neighborhood. Cocktails and desserts are.
