What people say, in short
Rosella is recommended for a less conventional sushi meal in the East Village. Diners describe distinctive fish sourcing and fusion touches, and one couple enjoyed visiting despite different preferences over raw fish. Individual menu experiences vary: another diner was disappointed not to find salmon nigiri, even while liking the food. Such accounts describe past meals, not a promise of sourcing, dietary suitability or current menu availability.
