Rosetta Italian Bakery is coming to downtown Bethesda. It will be located at 4901-A Fairmont Avenue, in the space vacated by Pitango Gelato last September. Rosetta, or michetta, is an Italian white bread roll often used for sandwiches. The bakery chain was founded in 2015 with the vision of becoming "an official ambassador of the Italian art of baking." Customers in the bakery's communal dining area will be able to watch bakers at work in the kitchen, with authentic ingredients imported fresh from Italy, through a large observation window.
The Rosetta menu includes focaccia, sandwiches on a variety of breads, pizza, desserts, and coffee. It also has seasonal holiday items for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. The chain currently has locations in Florida, Georgia, New York, and New Jersey.
Two 2025 Bethesda trends are reflected in Rosetta's planned expansion here. First, an unusual number of bakery cafes have opened, or are opening in the near future, in downtown Bethesda. Rosetta will have one advantage, in that most of the competitors are French bakeries. Secondly, Rosetta has a partnership with the Best Buddies organization, like Max's Best Ice Cream, which will be opening about a block away from the bakery this summer. Construction on Rosetta Italian Bakery is expected to commence before the end of spring.

Robert, yes, French cafes and coffee shops. This one on the other hand looks very promising. The Best Buddies connection is just wonderful to see.
Italian Pastries are SO GOOD. But have you ever tried the Noodles in Italy? You HAVE to go. Anyone here Ever Been?
I’ve been to Rosetta’s in Florida, it is really good, an excellent addition to Bethesda. Finally some good food news.
I sure wish the other place from FL, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, had made it. Yes, it was that good. This bakery does look incredible. I looked at their website and wow! Welcome to the neighborhood indeed. This is the best looking food place opening in Bethesda since Tate.
